<div dir="auto">Exhaust his slush fund? No, he's cleverly set it up so he can take the funds as income or use them for living expenses; he only has to make a show of attempting to overturn the elections and keep the fundraising going. There's no actual legal defense fund, it's just a marketing term for a Leadership PAC. More details, from actual lawyers and investigative journalists, in the most recent episode of Just Ask The Question: <a href="https://pca.st/episode/7a3d4fb4-3c15-4958-89e5-ce6a86389a50">https://pca.st/episode/7a3d4fb4-3c15-4958-89e5-ce6a86389a50</a><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 7, 2020, 7:04 PM Rick Moen <<a href="mailto:rick@linuxmafia.com">rick@linuxmafia.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Quoting Dire Red (<a href="mailto:deirdre@deirdre.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">deirdre@deirdre.net</a>):<br>

It probably says something about me that I'd never heard the Beck<br>
original before, only the Weird Al parody medley.<br>
<br>
Anyway, even after the President-Eject exhausts his $200M slush fund and<br>
toddles off to the Jamaica Bay Home for Senile Slumlords, IMO the real <br>
long-term problem is that QAnon malicious conspiracy-mongering has now<br>
became a self-sustaining meme engine and is seeping into all corners of<br>
public discourse. Debunking doesn't help much, because by the time<br>
you've proved 'No, Gov. Newsom did _not_ sign a bill erasing criminal<br>
penalties for child sex abuse', the meme engine has moved on and has<br>
generated half a dozen more baldfaced lies and injecting them into <br>
dozens of alleged news Web sites and gotten babblers to repeat them into<br>
conversations.<br>
<br>
We're going to have to deal with a few tens of millions of severely<br>
delusional conspiracy-thinkers for the next long while.<br>
