“Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (R-Ga.) last week downplayed the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, comparing the mob’s breaching of the building to a “normal tourist visit.””
How will MAGA and QANON supporters react to the revelation that Sidney Powell has admitted to lying about voter fraud?
The interesting things about the Kraken story are:
- it emerged, fully formed and with amazingly specific detail
- but with not a speck of evidence
- and with no suggestion of how and from where the story had emerged.
Additionally, the “Kraken” was not “unleashed” until the less outrageous myths (dead people, forged ballots, dumped ballots etc) had been thoroughly discredited.
I would suggest that the Kraken claim (which actually has no connection to any specifics of the election) had been developed months, even years earlier and kept in that glass-fronted cabinet labeled “In case of emergency, break glass”.
While the theory was outrageous and completely unprovable, it had one attractive feature – it could in a single stroke explain millions of “fake votes” in dozens of states.
In short, it was the final, desperate “Hail Mary” play.
Rep. Katie Porter Totally Embarrasses Arrogant Fossil Fuel Executive
Representative Katie Porter has a reputation for being a fierce opponent during House hearings, and she reminded the country why that is again this week when she took a fossil fuel executive to task for attempting to lie to her face. The executive tried to claim that oil companies don’t have special tax rules, but Porter was there to remind him that they do, and listed the differences between their taxes and the taxes of other corporations. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
