No surprise that this list is full of sources of tweets that are regularly posted by disingenuous conspiracy theorists and bots on this forum. It's a shame that there is no interest in removing people who post here primarily to spread misinformation.

Researchers combed through 45 million tweets that sowed doubt on the 2020 election. Here are the "top spreaders": https://t.co/7X8u0CO61n pic.twitter.com/4lE1Xi66pH

As a proud Cal alum whose parents met at Cal in the mid-1950's, I must say that I am truly embarrassed by the lack of moderation on this site. It really begs the question as to why someone would allow this forum to go on as long as it has, with the same 3 or 4 posters spreading misinformation and outright lies, without any genuine interest in discussion.

I share your concern.

Early 60's for mine!

I think there's a compelling request to be made to Greg to get rid of just a few, not cancel it for everyone.
BF is currently the worst offender per this referenced furtherance of misinformation.

The repeated lies and racist posts in the "Junteenth" thread were disgusting.
The posts by HTP and Kelly09 were flagged, but apparently that makes no difference here.

Pretty sober testimony today by Rusty Bowers, Speaker of the House in Arizona.
Pressured by Giuliani.

And Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin now implicated given testimony given today.

Team Trump knew it was illegal.

"The lesson that we're seeing is that the people who drank all the Kool-Aid, they become increasingly unhinged and untethered to reality as the process unfolded," Foley said. "They just doubled down and then tripled down, and spun more and more off into their own delusional world."

These hearings are simply devastating.

More and more crickets from Capitol Hill Republicans.
Next they will be turning on others to save themselves.

I figure right about now, they are calculating their own exposure and who all will be the fall guys. Problem is, most are implicated, that's why it's taken 18 months to get to here.

But these are devastating.

What I can't get over is, there used to be a time when devastating stuff like this would come out... and actually have an impact. Now, the vast majority of the GOP tribe is hear-no-evil.

Still, I think Trump's armor is slowly being chipped away. Disgustingly slowly, though.

Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani slandered 2 Black women election workers as "hustlers" and drug addicts to push the lie about a stolen election. His racist followers harassed and threatened to kill them.

Not one 'Christian Trump supporter has condemned this.

"The House Jan. 6 committee carefully laid out today the stunning extent of former President Trump and his allies' campaign to pressure election officials to act on their false claims of voter fraud, Axios' Alayna Treene writes.

The big picture: Yet again, it was conservative Republican witnesses Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, top Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling and a host of Trump associates testifying behind closed doors that provided the most damning testimony.

Four key takeaways

1. Trump's direct involvement.

Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel revealed in a taped deposition that Trump personally connected her on a phone call with conservative lawyer John Eastman the architect of the "alternate elector" scheme to ask the RNC to help coordinate false sets of electors.

Bowers testified he received a call from Trump and Rudy Giuliani urging him to replace Biden's electors in Arizona. "I do not want to be a winner by cheating. I will not play with laws I swore allegiance to," Bowers wrote in a personal journal at the time.

2. Key figures knew plan was illegal.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified that Meadows, Giuliani and several of Giuliani's associates were in a meeting in which the White House counsel's office informed them the alternate elector scheme was "not legally sound."

3. GOP lawmakers implicated.

Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) chief of staff texted an aide for then-Vice President Mike Pence telling him that the senator needed to hand Pence an "alternate slate of electors" from Michigan and Wisconsin during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. The Pence aide replied, "Do not give that to him." Johnson told reporters today he was "basically unaware" of the exchange.
Bowers testified that he received a call from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) urging him to support decertifying Arizona's electors.

4. Outlandish gambits.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the committee obtained text messages indicating Meadows wanted to send Georgia election investigators "a sh**load of POTUS stuff, including coins, actual autographed MAGA hats, etc."

Michigan GOP chair Laura Cox testified that a Trump campaign representative told her fake Republican electors were planning to hide in the Michigan Capitol overnight to satisfy the requirement they meet in the state Senate chamber. "I told him in no uncertain terms that was insane and inappropriate," she said."

My first thought is, no possible way I would do something "not legally sound" to try and overturn an American election.

But man, autographed MAGA hats?!? All bets might be off...
