I've been on record here since 2020 that if you apply the "every accusation is a confession" rule, their callout of specific voting machines after the 2020 election was a tell. 

I haven't seen the evidence for 2024, but I think they are not above trying to steal an election. After all they even tried a violent coup.

One claim is an outrageous number of "bullet ballots", which are ballots with only one vote cast (POTUS).  I haven't read anything that seems terribly grounded in provable data.

Yeah, no....federal officers can be sued.  It's technically NOT under Section 1983 -- it's called a "Bivens claim," which is quite similar.  Sorry, I was sloppy there in my citation.

I'm not an attorney, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but my understanding is that a Biven's claim is an action against a Federal agent and a Section 1983 claim is against a State or Local official 

I did send Leon a message on Twitter asking about the botched penile implant, but he hasn't responded.

There is zero hyperbole in my statement above.  For real.

Absolutely he is. And everyone excusing him should go fuck themselves. He should be in jail, not taking pressers from the White House.

Quote

What are Bivens claims? Imagine that you’re sitting at home when the doorbell rings. A local police officer comes in, ransacks your home without a search warrant, and arrests you. You get out of jail and go home. While you’re trying to clean up the place, the doorbell rings again. This time an FBI agent comes in, ransacks your home again without a search warrant, and arrests you for something else. After you get out of jail again, you might want to sue each of them for violating your Fourth Amendment rights and get some sort of damages for your troubles.

For your local cop, you can do that under Section 1983, a provision of a Reconstruction-era federal civil rights law. This is the basis for most lawsuits that you read about when someone accuses a state or local official of violating a constitutional right. (Section 1983 has its own problems that we’ll get into later.) But what about the FBI agent? Federal officials aren’t covered by Section 1983, and while Congress has created some causes of action (a legal term that means “basis to sue someone”) in some circumstances, it hasn’t created a similarly broad mechanism to sue federal civil servants for constitutional violations.

 

The Supreme Court filled this void to some degree in the 1971 case Bivens v. Six Unknown Narcotics Agents. In that case, a man named Webster Bivens sued six members of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics for searching his home without a warrant and arresting him in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The agents tried to get the lawsuit thrown out by arguing that Congress had not created a cause of action to justify it. In a 6–3 ruling led by the liberal justices at the time, the Supreme Court ruled that there was an implicit cause of action in the Fourth Amendment and that Americans could accordingly seek damages under it.

I know a few people who are trafficking in these ideas. I'll need to go back and find the source material but the basis of their argument is that the Stop the Steal people illegally got their hands on Dominion voting machines back in 2021 (the Colorado chick went to prison for allowing it). They had plenty of time to reverse engineer them. While the machines are not physically connected to the internet during the election, there is nothing stopping them from having had software installed at some point that allows Starlink to access them (or so this theory says). Starlink had massive rollouts in some crucial counties in the seven swing states. That gets us to the bullet ballots portion of this.

This same piece that I'm going to go look for said Trump won all seven swing states -- the first time any POTUS candidate has done that in four decades. It goes on to say the chances of winning all seven of those states and go ever-so-slightly above the threshold that avoids and automatic hand recount WHILE not surpassing 50% of the popular vote nationwide was on the order of 35 billion to one. (That seems sky high to me but I'm a C-level math student.) This is where the bullet ballots come in -- some key counties in these swing states had an extremely inordinate amount of bullet ballots, which are where the voter votes for POTUS and nothing else. Usually, the number is less than 1% and they were seeing 5-9% in some counties. The final piece to their puzzle was Musk's creating voter rolls with his $1M daily lottery giveaway to get people registered to vote.

Not saying I believe any of the above but it's certainly more evidence than I ever saw Sidney Powell or Mike Lindell present for the 2020 election.

Also, anyone and everyone who has had a dissenting post deleted/removed from Twitter should join together and file a Section 1983 suit against Elon for depriving them of their civil rights.  Because the facts make it a pretty damned solid (and important) case.

1.  Elon is a powerful, senior employee and officer of the US Government.  Trump has admitted so, publicly.  Further, Elon's public statements and tweets on the matter make it clear that he is.

2.  That powerful, senior officer of the US Government controls a major site for the dissemination and public discussion of topics that include the operation of the US Government, specifically including the functions of that particular officer of the US Government.

3.  That powerful, senior officer of the US Government actually USES that site for making statements directly connected to and relevant to his role and actions as a US Government official.

4.  That powerful, senior officer of the US Government suppresses/drowns out dissenting speech by a) actively deleting/hiding dissenting posts and comments, b) creating/directing the creation of an algorithm that performs the same function.

5.  Government suppression of speech, particularly on matters of public import and interest, is a plain violation of the First Amendment rights of the speakers.

 

TLDR: Because Musk is an officer of the government and does not just use but CONTROLS Twitter in connection with and in furtherance of the performance of his duties as a government official, Twitter is -- for First Amendment purposes -- an arm of the US Government.  Thus, it cannot suppress or favor any speech based on its content.  Doing so violates the First Amendment, and Elon (in his capacity as the owner and controller of Twitter) should be enjoined from doing so.

It is a good lawsuit.  It is a VERY good lawsuit.  It should be brought posthaste, seeking emergency injunctive relief, because the harm is real, ongoing, and there is no adequate remedy at law if it is allowed to continue.


If only there were some lawyers on SurlyHorns that could do this.

I guess the idea of which states are truly "swing" states can change over time but no candidate has won this collection of seven (Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Wisconsin) in the same election since Reagan whipped Mondale's ass in 1984. (Nixon did it in '72 thrashing of McGovern, FDR in '36 and that's it going back to the 1912 election when all 12 had become states.)

You can come up with some subset of states that no candidate has won in the prior 50+ years pretty much every election.

Absolutely true. However, in going and looking at the election maps for every year back to 1912 my recollection is very rarely did states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania go to the same candidate in the same election more than a few times. Most of those were in routs. That he nailed all seven by just enough votes to not trigger recounts and not get 50% of the popular vote is pretty remarkable. (Almost too remarkable. /wink)

It's rather Amazing.  Musk believes he can fix all of our problems despite many business failures. Same with Cheeto. It must be liberating to be able to act like a complete asshat daily and not have a tinge of regret.  If I saw video of myself doing the Musk leap or the two dick dance I'd forever wallow in shame.

For me it's more about how all the polls we followed religiously (thanks @Js1) and the lack of 2016- and 2020-level enthusiasm based on yard signs and rallies in empty rodeo arenas were forecasting that you'd much rather have been in Kamala's position than Trump's. How Anne Selzer was getting D+3 in Iowa. How there was no sign of the Dobbs effect slowing down.

With all of that in mind, it's hard to see how seven coinflips in a row would all come up tails. I think that's the point they're making about the swing states. While I haven't read too many of the pollster-focused post mortems I really doubt that after 2016 any pollster was under-overcorrecting for MAGA.

I think it's worth looking into, but we have more urgent battles to fight right now.

Winning 7 true swing states should be identical odds to flipping a coin and getting 7 tails in a row -- 1 in 128, or 0.78%.  I would guess your argument would be about the definition/measurement of a "swing state."

Both of them should be very insecure - Zuck's eggs are all in one (Facebook) basket, and Facebook succeeded because AngelFire, Friendster, GeoCities and MySpace failed spectacularly, and all of the walled garden communities were starting to lose their walls (Prodigy, AOL, CompuServe, etc.)  just a few years before FB got going. Now mix in that Microsoft-backed LinkedIn is headed towards a billion users (I doubt it will get there, but it's not far away). Hell, Pinterest had FB worried for a while

Zuck is now in prevent-defense mode (too soon?) - Threads should have been a twitter killer and FB had the resources to make it a twitter killer, but they were too paranoid that it would take users away from Instagram, so they've kept it deliberately stripped down/crippled, such that if you are a Threads user who wants private messages, you have to rely on Instagram for private messages (among other major problems with Threads).  It's fucking stupid that in 2025 a large (what should be a standalone) social media platform relies on another social media platform for private messages, but here we are.

Zuck is also willing to lose millions of users by loosening up moderation and letting misinformation and disinformation run rampant (which then generates clicks and ad revenue) because in the short term, all of the ad revenue from the misinformation/disinformation flowing freely now is good for his bottom line.  He's not looking a year or two down the line when things have gotten worse (a lot of FB user groups are starting to plot exit strategies to other platforms such as Groups.io) and there's always community-based platforms looking to horn in on FB's audience. FB has had a longer run at the top of the hill than its predecessors and competitors, many of whom had serious financial backing, and Zuck knows that LinkedIn, some of the smaller community-based platforms or user group-based platforms, and even a Google or Apple could probably put Facebook in the negative.

Zuck knows that if Google got their shit together on social media and truly leverages YouTube (2nd behind FB with 2.5 billion active users vs 3 billion for FB), or Apple decided to nudge into the social media arena, it would eat into FB.  And he's constantly attacking Apple because they keep (openly) working to block off FB/Meta access to the rest of your phone or at least make you aware that Meta wants access to it.

And most importantly, Zuck knows that serious FB growth is a thing of the past - a fuckload of FB users are aging out (dying off) while younger generations give no particular fucks about FB or even view it as the old person platform. And those younger generations are constantly bouncing around social media platforms. If they are on TikTok they aren't on Instagram.  So he's got to keep engagement up which is why misinformation and disinformation is running freely.

Musk should also be insecure for a lot of reasons - he didn't start Tesla (buying companies sometimes makes people insecure that the original founders could have done a better job), and he has to know that sales are not as good as he'd like, and we've all seen parking lots full of CyberTrucks in person, and most auto companies are rolling into their 2nd and 3rd-generation (or more) EVs with popular brands (F-150, etc.) catching some attention in their first-generation releases.  SpaceX relies so much on the US government, it makes sense that he's put his people into leadership positions at NASA. If Boeing gets their shit together on the larger stuff, or Blue Origin continues to progress, either one could start nibbling away at SpaceX's business (or worse, Boeing compete with the heavy lift stuff while BO takes low-end satellite launches away as it moves towards heavy payloads). 

And twitter is not going to make him even more rich, even if its value comes back up, because, like FB, twitter is tapped out - it's not going to continue to gain the numbers it once had, and if anything, as BlueSky and others take in more and more serious/official/famous people, organizations, or companies, it'll have a harder time.  And I still have to look a few times a week, and the ads are shit and can't be paying that much. And like FB, twitter is faced with younger people not having any loyalty for platforms and bouncing around whatever is trending.  

Hell, there are 11 social media platforms with more active users than twitter (and QQ, Weibo, and Pinterest aren't far behind). 

And the thing about FB and twitter, and this is not lost on Zuck, but it could be on Musk, is that there doesn't have to be one major platform suddenly coming up the ranks - social media can be death by a thousand paper cuts and it can also be a company willing to utilize their existing user bases.  YouTube has a lot of Instagram features (it's not just videos, there are discussion areas where YouTubers provide updates) and with its video shorts, we could wake up tomorrow and they piggyback that 2.5 billion active users into a new app focused on shortform videos (and photos) and social media updates, and the big-ass YouTubers with their tens and hundreds of millions of followers will be all over it.  What does it do to Instagram if it goes from 2 billion active users a month to 1.7 or even 1.5 in a month?  What does that do for profits/revenue, and what does that do for the stock price - in the span of a year it's went from $430 to $730, and it could easily drop down. What if LinkedIn/Microsoft spins off a new service that could be still tied to it, but is more of a personal vs business nature (Microsoft has the know-how, the users, things like Teams, etc.?  What if Apple decides to unify some of their services and push a barebones social media platform and Apple being Apple, skip most/all advertising.  They have the money to burn, and it would help sell more of their services.

TLDR: There are a lot of reasons both Zuck and Leon should be insecure.  They could fall just as rapidly as they rose, and there's plenty of money that could make that happen.

Prominent DOGE Staffer Is Grandson Of Turncoat KGB Spy

Among the cadre of DOGE engineers now rooting through the guts of the administrative state, few have attracted more curiosity than Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, a 19-year-old coder who interned for three months for Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain implant company. Coristine has a brief but colorful history that includes being fired from Path Networks, a cybersecurity company, for giving company documents to a competitor. He apparently palled around with a criminal hacking group called The Com and, according to a Telegram account associated with him, had solicited hacking services online. In 2021, he founded a company called Tesla.Sexy LLC that, according to Wired, “controls dozens of web domains, including at least two Russian-registered domains. One of those domains, which is still active, offers a service called Helfie, which is an AI bot for Discord servers targeting the Russian market.”

A lot about DOGE remains unknown – like who’s officially in charge – but Coristine has email addresses at USAID and the Department of Homeland Security and was recently seen inside the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the State Department. Across the federal government, he seems to have the run of the place.

There’s one aspect of Coristine’s background that has escaped public notice: his grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB spy who played an intriguing role in a sprawling 1980s espionage drama.
