I find it remarkable that there are still attorneys willing to work for Trump & Co. Ray Stern Arizona Republic View Comments Lawyers for unsuccessful Arizona candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem will have to pay $122,200 for filing a baseless lawsuit attempting to ban the use of voting machines prior to the November election, a federal judge has ruled. The ruling puts a dollar figure to sanctions ordered last year by Arizona U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi and covers the legal costs by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. Tuchi reduced the share of the sanctions owed by attorney Alan Dershowitz, who nevertheless vowed to appeal the order "to the Supreme Court." Lake and Finchem, Republicans who lost to Democrats Gov. Katie Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, respectively, won't have to pay any of the sanctions themselves. But their attorneys are accountable for filing a lawsuit in bad faith, said Deputy County Attorney Tom Liddy. "These guys run a lawsuit with no evidence at all and waste $122,000 of taxpayer money — but now we got it back," Liddy said. The ruling orders lawyers Andrew D. Parker and his law firm, Parker Daniels Kibort LLC, and Kurt B. Olsen and his law firm, Olsen Law PC, along with Dershowitz to together pay $122,200, except that Dershowitz's share of the sanctions is capped at $12,220. Parker, in responding to a request for comment, said he would appeal the decision. It comes two months after other sanctions awards by judges in election challenges that they ruled had no justification. Finchem was ordered to pay $40,300, and his attorney another $7,400, for a frivolous lawsuit that sought to challenge the Nov. 8 election results. Olsen and another Lake attorney, Bryan Blehm, were ordered by the Arizona Supreme Court to pay $2,000 in sanctions for "unequivocally false" claims alleging 35,000 ballots were added to last year's election vote count.

Trump: found guilty of fraud, twice, by courts. Trump: found guilty of sexual assault by a court. Trump: under indictment for obstruction of justice and mishandling classified documents. Trump: over 30,000 documented, provable lies. Trump: admitted adulterer. Trump: admits to "pussy grabbing" and getting away with it because he's famous. Explain how Obama or Biden are worse. Details, please, not just Q talking points.

I found a few different color schemes for military chutes. White, orange white, and the quad color (green, brown, white and orange)

There was a chute found in the South Fork Lewis between the Heisson Bridge and Lucia Falls,, about a mile from the Heisson store. Approx. 4-5 mile drift from the FP at 8:13.. The River has big floods.. The chute was never looked at because it was described as orange and white... Cossey claimed the chute was all white.. but his description was unreliable. Its proximity to Heisson store and FP make it interesting.. and railroad tracks follow the River there and go past Heisson store..

Here's the story from the son of the gentleman in question: The son said that ten days after NORJACK, his father and his father's best friend (who had recently been discharged from the military) were down by the Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge 9.6 . While down by the Vancouver side near the water, they found a parachute canopy snagged on a log under the bridge. The father's friend immediately recognized it as a military canopy. With the recent Cooper hijacking on their minds, they left and called the Vancouver PD. The dispatcher literally laughed at them on the phone and never even bothered to file a report. They went back the next day and the canopy was gone. I do not know which branch of the military the friend was in. If he had been in the Navy and recognized a Navy-style chute, then that's pretty remarkable IMO. For reference, Tena Bar is approximately 10 miles downstream from this location. I have the names of those involved, but the father is very ill and the friend is deceased. The son of the friend is alive and well, and could provide additional details about his father's experience, but the name is very common so a search for him has proved fruitless.

No. Ten years ago most conservatives, liberals, and moderates supported being able to have rational discussions with people that had disagreements on policies. They could disagree on issues without needing to vilify the individual. There was some common understanding of the importance of facts. Back then I would have considered myself a conservative except for my positions on personal liberties like marriage equality and abortion rights. Lots of my skydiving friends were way more liberal than 10 year younger me. I didn't want to destroy any of them, and I could have polite constructive conversations with them where we actually could debate the reasons behind our positions. Ten years later I absolutely wouldn't consider myself a conservative. Not because my views have changed that drastically, but because the right has sprinted off towards extremism while I remained mostly sane. I don't want to destroy the GOP, I just would like them to return to reality. I would like for there to be a sanity check around personal liberties, I would like a return to some amount of civility, and I would like people to go back to respecting facts and intellectual honesty. There are currently over a million conservatives who actually believe in the validity of QAnon. There are people way too many people that genuinely believe all of Trump's election fraud falsehoods. Lets not forget all of the anti-science and insane quackery during the peak of covid. Horse dewormer anyone? I didn't willfully sign up to have that be a significant part of my nations political environment. I don't want to destroy them, but some mental healthcare would be a compassionate response.

And you dont think the left wants to destroy the GOP? Hell theres people on here that think and post that the GOP needs destroying. What is it good one way and not the other?
