What to Know
Merriam-Webster treats the phrases couldn't care less and could care less as synonymous, both meaning "not concerned or interested at all."

Good for you.  The research must have been painful.

OK, conservative news sites, they are allowed (like Fox).

What to Know
Merriam-Webster treats the phrases couldn't care less and could care less as synonymous, both meaning "not concerned or interested at all."

"We understand why could care less sticks in your craw: it appears to mean something rather opposed to what it purports to mean. The person who says “I could care less” is, on the face of it, stating “Yes, it would be possible for me to care less deeply about this matter than I do, and therefore I am betraying some unspecified degree of care.” But if you are the kind of person who cries out against this abomination we must warn you that people who go through life expecting informal variant idioms in English to behave logically are setting themselves up for a lifetime of hurt."

"Both could and couldn’t care less are informal, and so you are unlikely to use either one in formal writing. If you have need of using it in some other context, and would like to avoid alienating some portion of your audience you should stick with couldn’t care less. And if you can’t get past some people continuing to use could care less, and the fact that there’s nothing you can do about it, you may console yourself with the notion that at least they are not saying “I could care fewer.”"

An early innovator in social media, Leahy founded Top Conservatives on Twitter in 2008 and organized and hosted the February 20, 2009 conference call of a handful of activists, including Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots, Dana Loesch, and Star News Digital Media co-founder Christina Botteri that launched the Tea Party Movement one week later.

"Should President Trump run in 2024?" a fundraising email from the Trump campaign sent to supporters Tuesday evening asked.
"Let's make something clear: the Radical Left STOLE this Election from President Trump," one email stated.
Well send him money. And his supporters are asked to believe he needs money to correct the (bogus) election system plus help two folks in Georgia to win senate seats.
Hopefully Craig has some expendable income from shooting big waxed and lit boats in the studio to send at least $5000.
Now if he looks at the legal fine print on the donation page, it says Trump is raising money for the US Senate runoff elections in Georgia, but it shows that 75% of the funds donated up to $5,000 will go to Save America, this new Trump fundraising PAC launched after the election. Save America could become an way for Trump to continue funding political operations as he weighs a presidential bid in 2024 (if not in jail), or go into his little pockets and recall he said he'd bankroll his entire 2016 campaign.
Since election day the Trump campaign has sent supporters at least 498 fundraising emails and 170 text messages begging for money. His campaign had raised more than $207 million since. Come on Craig, help the poor guy out, put all that money where your mouth is, he's broke (but he's also a billionaire), yeah right.

OK, conservative news sites, they are allowed (like Fox).

But the very first sentence rings alarm bells in my head:
More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections – including last month’s hotly contested presidential race  -but their fraudulent votes weren’t canceled out, according to state election officials.

Including last month's, how many? No such data.
According to which which election officials? No such data (you'll recall, many pages back, when another news source stated they had reported sources about Trump's pardoning his lawyer, the same guy posting the URL above dismissed it).

"The majority of double voters were Democrats who cast an absentee ballot either by mail or drop box and also voted in person on Election Day, officials said, which is a felony under state law".

How many were Democrats and there were Republicans? The horror. How many? No data.
"The highest share of offenders were from Fulton County, which includes Atlanta – many of whom were allowed to cast a second ballot by poll workers, officials said".

Allowed to, and what share, what officials? No data.

"Though the number of suspected double-voting felons is the largest in state history, RealClearInvestigations has learned that no cases have been referred to the state attorney general for criminal investigation.

“This office does not have any referrals on double voting cases so far from the State Election Board related to the June 2020 primary or November 2020 general [election],” said Katie Byrd, spokesperson for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican"

Ah, the deep state again: Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican!

“After the primary elections, Raffensperger announced that his office identified 1,000 people who voted twice in the primary".
So 700 on November 3rd? No data.

No reason to go further.
And Craig asks if we read it. Read, reviewed, suspicious of the piece. Craig eats it up, hook, line and sinker.

Since you failed the very first point so miserably, I think I’ll disregard the rest of your rant.

My election contributions are done for this cycle, but thanks so much for the heads up.

Or lack of facts you'll ignore in the article you posted and I brought to light if I can be so kind.
What's next something from QAnon? 🤮

What a surprise.

Yea, simply because the bulk of his objections are answered in the article.

You really didn’t read the entire article, did you?  If you did you missed many of the answers to the questions you asked.

[digitaldog]

You really didn’t read the entire article, did you?

You have this odd habit of asking questions of others, when your posting history and agenda show/prove, you have no desire or ability to accept any answer. No need to ask.
Two of us so far are not buying the waxed goods you are selling. Others may as well. But you are largely not being taken seriously here, perhaps you haven't caught on and I know either way, you don't care. Look on the bright side: Without absurdity, many here would have no one to laugh at. Thank you for your contributions to the forums. 😝

Well since you say you read the entire article why did you ask the questions you did when answers are available in the body of the article?

Perhaps this will sink in:
Imate tu neobičnu naviku postavljati pitanja drugima, kada vaša povijest objavljivanja i dnevni red pokazuju / dokazuju, nemate želju ili mogućnost prihvatiti bilo kakav odgovor. Ne treba pitati.
