Barr authorizes election probes despite little evidence of fraud

I have said it before and I'll say again, all those celebrations were premature, we are in the most dangerous time of the Trump presidency.

While probably nothing will be found that is not the point. The idea is to radicalize the base and provide justification for not leaving office if he so chooses.

I think the key phrase is "Substantial Allegations" -- it can be interpreted two ways.

1. A substantial number of allegations, most of which may be only petty "nuisance" allegations (i.e., cryptic Post-It notes, late-night pizza deliveries, et cetera).

2. Allegations that are individually substantial, like discovering a (non-existent) boiler-room operation run by space aliens dedicated to filling out bazillions of fake ballots.

This Michigan News Article details some Republican "conspiracy theories" regarding the elections that have been thoroughly debunked.

This type of reprobate conduct by Barr is similar to what happened in Germany in the early 1930s where a certain party also claimed unsubstantiated voter fraud in order to justify interfering in the democratic process.

I heard a minister on ABC tv yesterday describe Trump's tactics as proto-fascist.

Woo hoo, now we're cookin.

do the allegations get more substantial in size with the size of the donation?
Billionaires can afford quiet large inquiries due to their generosity i hear...

it is sad to say that the world is run by such corruptions

Considering the lack of any evidence to support these inflamatory remarks, it gets to a point where these statements come across as projection, given they contradict the content in the original article, and so gives the appearance that it was not read before the comment was made (or was ignored as being inconvenient):

The quote about comparing Trump's tactics with the Nazis came from Bob Carr, former state premier for NSW and a federal minister on ABC's Q&A last night.

So you were plagiarizing?

Strangely (well,not really) no source\reference has been provided to verify both that the "quote" actually occurred and that the person supposedly "quoted" said words to the extent that:

which was the subject discussed in the reply...

Without the required ability for third parties to verify the source existed and was "quoted" correctly, trying to claim something is a quote merely comes across deflection in order to avoid the recognition of being the true author\originator\instigator of the comment.

I'm also curious, given the "quote" under discussion was almost certainly from before the memo was drafted or released (The show aired Monday November 9 at 5:45AM EST, not sure if it was recorded or broadcast live, and the memo is dated that same day), how the supposed "source" of the "quote" was aware of the content of the memo in order to be able to speak so "authoritatively" on it. Then again, if the claim that the statement regarding the memo and related actions being a "quote" was an intentional lie, things would be much clearer...

Well here's the direct quote from Bob Carr

Mr Carr added: “The authoritarian populist (Trump) is transmuting himself into something else, which is a proto-fascist.”
“A proto-fascist, and I choose that term carefully. People throw it around.”
Host Hamish Macdonald asked: “What is a ‘proto-fascist’?”
“He (Trump) is an incipient fascist,” Mr Carr replied.
“What he’s doing now is nothing less than what Hitler did in Germany in the 1920s, which is saying there is a conspiracy that’s robbed the people of their choice.
“It is all fraud, the election has been stolen from us. There is no evidence of this, not the remotest evidence.”
Protofascism is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a political movement or program tending toward or imitating fascism”.

Thank you for presenting it correctly this time.

You are welcome brother

Interestingly, there is no mention of Mr Barr (the person specifically indicated as the subject of the "quote") in this "transcript"?


Taking a "quote" and altering the target without any indication to the reader as to this having occurred means you are no longer quoting, but instead attempting to deceive the reader - Mr Carr did not discuss Mr Barr, Mr Barr's actions, nor (given he didn't discusss those actions) did he discuss how those actions may appear.

The question of "unsubstantiated voter fraud" in your statement (ignoring the fact that it refers to a different person than Mr Carr's statement did) also is questionable (at best), given reports such as:

Source: https://www.factcheck.org/2020/11/thin-allegations-of-dead-people-voting/
If true, then substantiated voter fraud did occur, negating the entire premise of your personal assertion\deceptive "quote"...

There is also the point that the "democratic process" is designed to permit challenges to the election (either the process or the votes cast\counts), and by trying to deny access\use of this mechanism more damage is done to the "democratic process" than would "occur" should the challenges be permitted. At worst, in permitting the challenges, they are found to be baseless, while by preventing them you give rise to the appearance (whether accurate or not) that there is something being concealed.

It's called deductive reasoning Bric.

Barr is a Trump appointee (he was appointed as attorney general by his master in Feb 2019)

He of course is pretending to act on what he claims are voting irregularities based on spurious rumours promulgated by Trump and originating from QAnon.

His participation in this exercise to disrupt the democratic process in the US election fits in with what Bob Carr was exactly saying about reprobates and proto-facism.

Texas social worker charged with 134 counts of election fraud for trying to register mentally incapacitated people as an unlawful third party.

But that would mean the entire premise of the following was false, given the indication of substantiated voter fraud...
