    Okay she didn't say that exactly.

    In a filing today her lawyers argued that no reasonable person would believe Sidney Powell's assertions that the Dominion voting machines miscounted the votes in the 2020 presidential election. I do believe that there was at least one DegreeInfo poster that liked referencing this statement of hers that she now claims no reasonable person would believe. She made those assertions today in the filing for the Dominion defamation lawsuit filed against her.

    A number of people have used this defense with varying degrees of success. Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones come to mind. Also Coke's claim that no reasonable person could infer that a product called "Vitamin Water" would be healthy.

    As someone who considers the whole Trump movement to be an American disaster, her argument that Trump supporters must be unreasonable has a certain kind of amusing appeal.

    And what a disaster that movement was, and still is!

    What percentage of Trumpsters would you say believed Sidney Powell?

    That's a good question. I would trust the opinion of a Trump supporter far more than my own guess. Although I'll point out that in a Quinnipiac poll published on December 10, it was found that 77% of Republicans believe that there was widespread fraud in the election and that 66% of Republicans thought that Biden's win was illegitimate.

    I would think if you went out and asked a bunch of random voters who Sidney Powell is, you'd mostly get a bunch of blank stares. The name sounded familiar to ME, but I sure couldn't place it (though I'm not a voter).

    I don't click on CNN links, but I did do a DuckDuckGo search earlier and read some stuff about her.

    Sidney Powell was just one of the many lawyers that were pushing the many election conspiracy lies. Her particular speciality was pushing the theories revolving around the Dominion voting machines. The issue isn't so much her personal credibility as much as the more relevant question. "What percentage of Trumpsters would you say believed" the Dominion voting machine election fraud theories. I think she's going to have a very difficult time convincing the court that no reasonable people believed these lies.

    You think the court will find that the Trumpsters are reasonable people?

    There are still debates and discussions about whether vaccines cause autism, whether the Earth is flat, and whether prominent politicians are in fact lizards. The people who are in charge of investigating Election-altering malfeasance have not found any.

    A panel with Ben Carson, Michele Bachmann, and Jim Hoft is not convincing anyone.

    Exactly! The people in charge of that stuff are professionals. Stop questioning.

    Flat-Earthers and anti-vaxxers, hahaha, excellent point.

    That's an absurd strawman. I'm not trusting anyone on blind faith. I am asking why after dozens of lawsuits, multiple recounts, and investigations in Statehouses and Secretaries of States offices across the country (both Democrat and Republican) can't find any evidence of election-altering misconduct, why do you think that there is evidence to find?

    Lerner, are you saying that the Dominion election fraud theories espoused by Powell as debatable and in need of investigation?

    Yes, I agree that "election-altering" should be the standard. A lot of people miss that, and I'm glad you keep making that point. If State bodies have decided that the findings won't change the outcome and there's no need to look deeper, then I say stop with the questions! Yeah, maybe some fraud here and there, but nothing on a big scale (and probably Republicans are just as guilty of it if not more so, amiright?). These people are like Holocaust deniers :rolleyes:

    Enough already.

    You never answered the question.

    Why after dozens of lawsuits, multiple recounts, and investigations in Statehouses and Secretaries of States offices across the country (both Democrat and Republican) that haven't found any evidence of election-altering misconduct, do you believe there is evidence to find?

    I skipped over the question because it didn't make sense that it was directed at me. Just thought you had me confused with Lerner. I hope there wasn't election-altering fraud. I don't believe there was, so I don't believe there is evidence to find. So the question did not compute.

    All things considered, I like how the uSA's presidential election turned out.

    This is fine if its not convincing you. But not anyone, it resonates with many millions of Americans.
    It's becoming more and more obvious that there is no tolerance to other side views.
    One may address the opinions, debacle views, another reserves to listen to what these persons have to say, some "shoot" the messenger and have no tolerance to other then their view messages..

    Bill,

    I think that when someone brings accusation about a person or a company especially in public, then they better have evidence.
    When election pole workers testified officially about the other workers what in their view seemed as suspicious fraud like behavior, I think this needed to be checked.

    Now you recall that allegedly Russian hackers used an application some blamed Solar Winds. Texas-based SolarWinds sells software that lets an organization see what's happening on its computer networks.
    Stop and think, what does this mean?
    Can any company claim in our day that their products are 100% secure and can't be compromised with the help of others?
    Our agencies were exposed to hackers for 9 months or so, and this is what we think we know.

    Now its a different thing to accuse the company it self as willing perpetrator.
    As we know there was no credible evidence presented.

    Ho-ly cow.

    I strongly suggest people to not believe CNN or..... anyway, I am very much disappointed in what people allow themselves to believe.

    For those who give two shakes, following are source documents. If you just WANT to buy into the narrative, or if your reading comprehension and ability to follow a legal argument is dick, then stay plugged in to CNN, WaPo, NYT, and Twatter or whatever gets you through the day.

    1- Dominion v. Powell, defendant's motion to dismiss: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e80e0d236405d1c7b8eaec9/t/605aa61421059b1663c2576a/1616553493203/Dominion+022+MTD+%281%29.pdf
    2- Memo in support of defendant's motion to dismiss: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e80e0d236405d1c7b8eaec9/t/605aa5d774179f7f6643e4f6/1616553433029/Dominion+022-2+MTD+Memo+%281%29.pdf

    I quickly read through the entire memo just because I found it to be very interesting, but the section that most pertains to the assertions made or referenced in this thread really begin around the 21st page of the Memo In Support.
