The poopy-pants brigade in action!


Project Veritas still exists, and they were recently slapped with $150,000 in legal fees because they tried to sue Stanford University and failed. I love watching them fail.

An academic blog post in September 2020 from a Stanford-affiliated nonpartisan coalition called the Election Integrity Partnership was at the heart of Project Veritas’ lawsuit.

The blog post questioned a Project Veritas report about alleged “ballot harvesting” in Minnesota. Zilly’s ruling dismissing the lawsuit said “the phrases in the blog post that Project Veritas challenges as defamatory are nonactionable opinions.”

“Ballot harvesting” is perfectly legal in Minnesota. It just means that volunteers will pick up sealed absentee ballots from voters and deliver them to polling places. Project Veritas tried to make a big deal of a normal, legal process as “corruption”, and they were taken to court over it.

Unfortunately, $150,000 in small change to the deep pockets that fund these rotten “think tanks”. What I don’t understand is why they keep pouring cash into these corrupt, discredited jokers. James O’Keefe is a notorious liar with no credibility, who has been banned from Twitter for various disreputable activities.

Right-wing provocateur James O’Keefe, best-known for his undercover “sting” operations and deceptively edited videos, was permanently suspended from Twitter on Thursday for what the social-media site said were violations of the its policy on manipulation and spam.

But, you know, what I find most revealing is that the rich conservatives who pay for his shenanigans, who like to pretend to be defenders of righteous American values, have been overlooking the decadent frat boy behavior of the crew.

As an administrative assistant for the conservative undercover group Project Veritas, Antoinetta Zappier had some unusual responsibilities. She claims she would be woken up in the middle of the night because Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe had lost his apartment keys, or asked to fake O’Keefe’s signature onto thousands of copies of his book, after donors had paid $200 each to receive “signed” copies.

And then, there was the time, Zappier says, she had to buy supplies to clean up a boat after partygoers at an event hosted by O’Keefe relieved themselves on the floor.

In a lawsuit filed Sunday, Zappier alleges that her duties for Project Veritas extended to a particularly debauched boat party for Young Republicans. After buying hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol for the party, Zappier alleges, she was left frantically purchasing cleaning supplies when attendees “defecated on the floor.”

The boat-excrement scene is just one incident alleged in a federal lawsuit Zappier filed Sunday against Project Veritas. The allegations—which also include an abortion, a near-fatal drug overdose, pornography, and secret sexual recordings—portray a conservative group running out of control under O’Keefe’s leadership.

What is it with with these right-wing kooks pooping their pants all the time? And why do the fat cats continue to fund them?

    Horse-paste party on the boat.

    …because they tried to sue Stanford University and failed…
    roject Veritas tried to make a big deal of a normal, legal process as “corruption”, and they were taken to court over it.

    This is unclear. Did they sue Stanford, or did Stanford sue them? Everything up until that last statement pointed towards PV suing Stanford, unsuccessfully, not vice versa.

    What I don’t understand is why they keep pouring cash into these corrupt, discredited jokers.

    The first question is “who are ‘they’?”
    The second question is, “why does our society allow this harmful behavior?”

    Yes. ACORN. IMHO it was one of Congress’ lowest moments to that point.

    sounds like the ass hole has got himself a pretty sweet hustle going on. he parties thinks up some stupid shit to do, poorly executes it, fails to accomplish anything much and with no consequences parties on!

    Sounds like beer shits to me.
    I refuse to shame people for having accidents, because shit happens. At some point, we’re all going to have less control over our bodies, and there shouldn’t be any shame in it.
    But I will absolutely shame these assholes for not cleaning up after themselves and forcing some poor unsuspecting intern to do it for them. Any decent person, at near any age (infants excepted), knows that making other people clean up your poo is fucking unacceptable unless you’re completely physically incapacitated.

    You’re assuming the fat cats bankrolling them are in any way different from them aside from having lots of money. They continue to support them because they like and approve of all this despicable shit.
