Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Two weeks after the election and we're still deep into re-counts, ballot challenges, and other legal machinations. To help us sort it all out, we asked Powerline's Steve Hayward to sit in for Rob Long and (as John Lennon famously said) give us some truth. And to give us even more truth, we welcome Sean Trende , Real Clear Politic's Senior Elections Analyst. He takes us through many of the legal cases and we try to get some explanation for much of the polling that turned out to be dead wrong. Then, a gear shift as welcome Antonin Scalia. No, it's not a supernatural event (talk about burying the lede), Nino (as he likes to be called), is the great jurist's grandson and he works in the James Madison Program at Princeton and hosts Madison's Notes, a terrific new podcast that coincidentally is carried right here on Ricochet. Finally, several of us on this podcast are residents of California. Last week, our Governor Newsom attended a dinner that gave him indigestion. But not for the reasons you might think. And yes, we've got, a new Lileks Post of The Week, courtesy of Ricochet member Ekosj. Say that three times fast.
Music from this week's show: The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow) by The Jam
Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Steve Hayward, with guests Antonin Scalia and STSean Trende

As do so many whose living relies on words… Please try to stay awake... Please... (Peter is struggling to stay awake, and seems to understand that Sidney Powell is NOT Adam Schiff... )
This is not business as usual... we are at a critical turning point... The mainstream media is not just being their usual selves... they have transformed into something properly described as evil...

I'm getting dangerously close to actually having to join Twitter just to follow Catturd.
No, no, no, not Twitter! Anything but Twitter!

Within the first 5 minutes, Peter fumbles an important point/statement, by saying that the "accusation" is that Dominion shifted a couple million votes from Biden to Trump.
Not an auspicious start.
And not only did Peter not realize his mistake and correct himself, but at least up to the 14-minute point where I am now, nobody else pointed it out either.
