Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "There's An App For That"
"There's An App For That"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2921
Well, that sure was some skanky-ass to-do we had out in Iowa this week. Sanders was looking really good to take it, but then they suddenly "delayed" the results because of an issue with a skanky vote-reporting app — a skanky app coded by a skanky company operated by old Hillary campaign stooges and which has also worked for the Buttigieg campaign.
I'm so not into the tinfoil hat thing, but when the DNC announces their new "troll hunting" campaign against "disinformation" on the Internet, and then their vote-tracking app built by a bunch of Hillary hacks implodes as Mayo Pete declares himself the winner — kinda like that Guaido guy — you just can't help thinking something is really, really stanky around here.
You couldn't expect less from an outfit called Shadow, Inc. Look out, Nevada.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Vote Undead"
"Vote Undead"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2918
Like sands through the hourglass... so are the days of our Jack. DC City Councilman Jack Evans — you will recall — was recently forced to resign his Council seat in disgrace after a wave of scandals including the WMATA Board Of Directors and Colonial Parking.
So, slimy Jack — predictably, somehow — has filed to run again for the City Council seat he was recently forced to resign from in disgrace... you will recall... Oh, for the days when disgraced politicians had the class and decency to go away and stay gone...
