Random (okay, topical news-related, but random to this discussion) hivemind question:

Is there a clear, succinct answer to the online peeps who insist that it doesn't matter that the soon-to-be-former administration and its supporters are 59-1 in the courts because almost everything was dismissed due to lack of standing, which to the STBFA's supporters is just a cowardly dodge that means none of the merits have ever been addressed?

That belief of theirs that the standing argument is a cheap dodge that invalidates everything feels like bullshit (and I know that every single claim of fraud that could be either proven or disproven has been investigated and disproven, albeit never in court--but why waste everyone's time on it all over again in court?), but I am a million miles from a lawyer or a Constitutional scholar and I can't articulate why it's bullshit. Is there some brief, clear "Here's why" out there?

Is there some brief, clear "Here's why" out there?

There's literally nothing fact-based that they would accept as a valid explanation. The only answer they'll accept is "You're right; the election was rigged in favor of Biden, so therefore your guy gets to be POTUS for life."

You're right; you're right; I know you're right.

(Also, I am so annoyed that, as of the last time I checked, there still wasn't a good gif of that line; there really needs to be.)

G*d bless you, -t! I've been looking for that for years!

Yay!

Since it's all based on 2019 taxes (ie pre-pandemic), ND and I don't qualify for stimulus. Alas.

That is such a gap, and a great reason why means testing everything isn’t great.

That sucks, Pix.

I found another pattern of dishes. I thought they were newish, but 70s it seems. [link]
