Ha! I can’t argue with that! My “patriot” relatives are kinda coming around on the AZ thing. One of them posted today that all they ever really wanted was a complete and fair audit, and it’s a mystery to him why the Democrat party (ugh 🙄) put up such a fight. If they really won they shoulda embraced the audit. The fact that there were several audits before the ninjas is lost on him. ---

Sept 29, the cyber ninjas will tell the court that "delays caused by Antifa have hindered us. We will get you the report in … two weeks. ---

Oh, we both know they are never going to produce the “report”. But the Superior Court of Arizona has told them to produce their e-mails and other communication including funding, consultation with partisans, and input from conspiracy theorists by the 29th (at the latest). Be nice to see them refuse and end up in contempt and spend a few nights in jail until they decide to cooperate. But that might be too much to hope for. ---

I’m guessing the Cyber Ninjas at this point aren’t fearful of the state of Arizona but more the secret donors who gave them millions . When the Ninjas come up empty handed the donors are going to want their money back or someone to pay dearly. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “Antifa hacked our server and we lost everything” I think it is going to be worse than that. I believe the Arizona Republic and the other news sources are going to get their e-mails and other forms of communication, and what is more, there WILL BE revealing conversations of the “How can we overturn this election and steal the votes” by all the major players – but no T\*\*\*\* supporter will change or back down at all. No one will be held accountable and those of us on “our” side of things (or ‘sane people’ in all future references) will be righteously pissed off and nothing will happen to the conspirators or their masters. It has taken a great deal, but I finally accept that those who support the former president would literally rather die than back down or change their talking points. (Evidence of same): [https://news.yahoo.com/us-state-lowest-covid-vaccine-163912661.html](https://news.yahoo.com/us-state-lowest-covid-vaccine-163912661.html) They are a lost cause and nothing will ever change them except they will eventually die off. > [@DMC](#): > > We could always just put them in jail indefinitely, but revisit that decision in two weeks. I will support this measure. I am willing to put on a suit once every two weeks and take the light rail down to 3rd to see if they want to release the information now. I will take the first four months, if they hold out longer than that, somebody else can tag in. > [@Hampshire](#): > > I’m guessing the Cyber Ninjas at this point aren’t fearful of the state of Arizona but more the secret donors who gave them millions . > When the Ninjas come up empty handed the donors are going to want their money back or someone to pay dearly. And this is why they will remain in contempt forever! ---
