While on the Subject of Dimwit Hypocrisy...

Unearthed Paper Shows Biden-Linked Group Demanding ‘Robust’ Audits & Admitting Machines Are Hackable Even Without Internet Access.

Y'all remember the 2016 election, right? You know...the one wherein the dimwits came up with "Russia, Russia, Russia - Trump Collusion"? How they sung a very different back then to what they're signing now.

Here are a few juicy quotes from the above paper:

“Voting machines that record votes and tally them are run on software that is vulnerable to cyberintrusions. Well-resourced hackers, whether funded by foreign governments or criminal syndicates, have the access, ability, and motivation to infect computerized voting machines and tallying systems across America. This can occur even if the machines are not connected to the internet. Attackers, for example, can deploy software such as Stuxnet and Brutal Kangaroo to target offline voting machines.”

Admittedly, I'm no nerd. But I'd love to know how voting machines can be "vulnerable to cyberintrusions" if not hooked up to the WWW. How can the above mentioned software infiltrate voting machines without an internet connection? Just askin'...an inquiring mind wants to know.

And then we have this tidbit:

“Old voting machines are prone to hacking, as many rely on outdated computer operating systems that do not accommodate modern-day cybersecurity protections… Piling onto these concerns is the fact that weak chain-of-custody practices leave voting machines vulnerable to tampering. For example, an individual with only limited access can infect a machine with malicious malware and other viruses that can corrupt honest vote counts. Some electronic voting machines even include accessible ports that are an open invitation to hackers, who can plug in laptops or smartphones in order to add extra votes. Even with strong chain-of-custody practices, hackers can remotely infiltrate an electronic machine’s operating system, and without paper-ballot records, it is impossible to know whether a hack occurred or if votes were changed.”

https://thenationalpulse.com/news/bi...backed-audits/

And don't forget to read the section that pertains to audits. After the 2016 election, the dimwits who wrote the paper were very big on audits. Of course, now...not so much.

I heard that Democrat politicians are entrepreneurs ... and their business is enriching themselves and expanding government.

Let Them Eat Cake: Obama Lied – Massive Party Tents Set Up on Martha Vineyard Compound in Advance of Lavish B-Day Bash on Saturday

I love Psaki's defense of Obama's bash:

Psaki shamelessly defended Obama’s birthday party plans and said he’s allowed to have a super spreader event because he’s been a ‘huge advocate for vaccines.’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...bash-saturday/

So...the moral to the story is if you're big on the Jabs, you can have super spreader events.

P.S. I'm sure they'll find the right knife to cut into BO's cake but there's not a knife sharp enough or a machine-operated saw powerful enough to slice into dimwit hypocrisy.

It is amazing how some become extremely wealthy in office living 10x better than anyone else making a similar salary in the private sector.

When the value of the perks are far in excess of a salary, this becomes more understandable. What is passed under the table is the source of wealth in politics.

The biggest jokes are paying an exorbitant amount of money for politicians to speak on subjects they know next to nothing about. Look at the amount of money Hillary Clinton got after being secretary of state and her failed presidential runs for making corporate speeches. What the hell does she know about running a for profit corporation? She never even ran a lemonade stand.

do you think they claim the 'fair market value' of those perks and add it to their taxes?



Kerry needs a private plane to 0bama birthday party of close family and friends because he is important (Nancy Pelosi was one of the few that got cut from the giant birthday party).

I will see your John Kerry and raise you Al Gore. For the longest time Al "Global Warming" Gore lived in a mansion that was racking up utility bills over 20x that of an average home, while also flying around the country on a private jet preaching the ills of global warming. After his extreme hypocrisy about his living arrangement he had solar panels installed, which most likely don't put much of a dent in his consumption from the power grid. To power a typical home the whole roof needs to be covered.

The skinny has it that BO pared down his guest list to only about 500. Possibly the reason for this is that I also heard that he is requesting that his guests make a party donation to offset the costs.

Should be obvious.

Pay someone on the inside to insert a thumb drive with malware on it into an external port for a few seconds when no one is looking.

For machines without external ports, have someone posing as a technician from the voting machine vendor show up to perform 'routine maintenance.'

So...such a thumb drive could, theoretically, adjust the vote counts, correct?

From the specs that I've read, many of the electronic voting systems use Windows as the OS and Microsoft SQL Server as the backend database.

If that's true, the answer to your question is Yes.

It wouldn't be hard at all to write an executable malware program and copy it onto a thumb drive.

When the thumb drive is plugged into an open port the program self installs itself onto the root directory. That process should take all of about 10-15 seconds.

From there, the program could monitor legitimate updates to the database as votes are counted, and periodically 'flip' a predetermined percentage as needed.

Look, I'm not saying that actually happened.

But I am saying if someone wanted it to happen badly enough: It could definitely be made to happen.
