    Tried for the 4 seasons hotel, got the 4 seasons landscaping instead.

    Then pretended that was the plan all along and that they hadn't stuffed it up royally.

    Then held the event in a dingy run-down carpark between an adult store an a crematorium.

    Then their first star witness to attest he'd seen voter fraud, was a convicted pedophile who's famous for running as a tinfoil hat candidate for a different party every election.

    Then in the midst of Giuliani's mentally deranged speech, the networks cut away to call the race for Biden.

    Crazy on every level.

            Apparently, the Repub poll watcher called up by Rudy is a political gadfly and convicted sex offender!

            The movie is going to be incredible - a mini-series perhaps.

              I didn't say it wasn't true, I said that it is dishonest to pick an extreme example of something and imply that it's true for all conservatives.

                I did not see anything in either news story that would in date your conclusion. Though I find nothing in conflict here with the view of Conservative evangelical nor objections to Paula White.

                    Paula White Asks God to Override ‘Will of Man’ and Keep Trump in Office; Her Son Urges God to Bring ‘Rage’ and ‘Fury’ Against Those Who Resist Him

                    "Those who rise up against the destiny of your people, those who rise up against the purpose of your will, those who rise up against the freedom of your church, those who rise up against the proclamation of your word … I thank you that you hold them in derision. For you say, ‘What do they have that I have not made?’

                    Speak to them in your wrath, God, and terrify them in your fury. God, those who reject you, God, those with even the extension of mercy, God, refuse to submit their flesh because they love whatever they love too much, God, now’s the moment for your wrath. Now’s the moment for your fury. We know that you’re a God of mercy, but you’ll give us what we asked for. And God, let not your children who worship you and sing praises to you and know you, God, let us not suffer in this country and across the world because of the will of the wicked."
