Notobtuse will be along now to rail against that kind of carry on. He's all about fair elections
Here's the kind of guff that One America News was putting out shortly after the election.
It shows an overwhelming majority of US states went red, even California. This is the kind of misinformation people are lapping up. OAN had to retract some of their more pointed conspiracy theories after threats of being sued by Dominion voting systems came about, and lawsuits are a language that even the most rabid American conspiracy theorist understands.
But the idea that massive voter fraud took place has taken root in the minds of American Conservatives and Trump-lovers worldwide, despite a complete lack of evidence. Evidence is not needed for it has become an article of faith. They believe what Trump said prior to the U.S. election (and this is a great example of why he has to be the worst U.S. president of modern times) - "The only way we can lose this election, is if the election is rigged."
That’s the hilarious part about it all. What states do they want audited: Az, Ga and Pa.
All republican run states. Do they think the Republican Party conspired against their own candidate?
It because they thought that they already had the fix in but they still lost and they can't get their brain around it when a greater number of people actually get a reasonable opportunity to vote.
If you truly believe that Trump won the 2020 election, I have a pillow to sell you.
Sh*t, I just remembered that Mike Lindell promised some explosive evidence that China hacked the 2020 US elections, went to look it up and.... rambling symposium. No evidence. When asked about evidence said, "Forget about the evidence!".
Interesting and unsurprising response from conservative media outlets to the suspected attack on Congress yesterday.
I saw another clip where one Fox host actually went so far as to say that 'As yet, there is still no word as to a motive.'. Despite the suspect posting hours of social media clips giving out about Biden and saying that Trump was robbed. Fox is actually playing a significant role in radicalising terrorists.
Mo Brooks actually went so far as to sympathise with the suspect.
Can only imagine how Fox, Mo and the rest would react if Ilhan Ohmar, for example, commented on a suspected Islamic Terrorist in a similar fashion.
Valid quote. Here's the trainwreck interview...
Story by an Irish journo too :P
Was this some random claim from one guy? I think the looking for bamboo is something the media is making a mountain out of a molehill in order to shed a cloud on a valid process, and means absolutely nothing. But if it is important to you please link me the article and I’ll comment on it. Heaven’s forbid someone claims they saw aliens stuffing ballot boxes, or the media would be creaming themselves for weeks on end.
notobtuse is still pretending to have me in his ignore list so someone else might need to quote this.
I only comment on legitimate processes that are actually being undertaken. How is that a conspiracy theory? Maricopa County, AZ, is the state’s largest county and a Republican stronghold. Biden has always been know as a worthless and brainless career politician to Republicans always on the wrong side of everything. Biden winning the county makes zero sense.
The "forensic audit" is not a legitimate process. The legitimate processes, audits and lawsuits all showed that your guy lost, and quite comfortably too.
Wow, now there's a blast from the past. How you doing girl? Still carrying around that katana?
Georgia has been invaded by urban liberals escaping their liberal states, high taxes, and loss of freedoms for decades now. What really confuses me is why they bring their progressive nonsense with them, and try to institute it there, which is what they were escaping from in the first place.
And that didn't happen in the states you're crying about?
Oh, bother! I don’t understand why the concept is so hard to grasp. If you are more than 150 feet in line you can get all the water, treats, button, literature, nail files, and other trinkets you want to your hearts content. If you are within 150 feet YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE IN LINE VERY LONG BEFORE YOU GET TO CAST YOUR VOTE! I’m just glad they ended the law that forced pubs to close on election day.
Makes sense to me.
Maricopa had historic turnout - 3.4M votes cast, and only 1.5M are Republican. Not to mention that's John McCain country, whom Trump was far less than respectful to, even after his death. Not to mention Trump disaffected a lot of Independents.
I would be happy with a forensic audit of anywhere where the results make no sense. And our government pisses money away like it's water. Forensic audits at least makes useful use of taxpayer dollars like $172 million in five years on overpriced penis pumps.
What exactly make sense to warrant the audit then?
7th time of asking
Yet, the results do make sense.
But I find the fact you don't feel that way, oddly satisfying.
Fun fact too: Arizona runs a semi-closed primary, so the number of registrations for Republican may not accurately reflect how many voters were likely to vote Republican in the 2020 election
so in the same page of comments I see someone complaining about liberals moving to conservative areas and bringing their beliefs with them but also the same person claiming those areas voting liberal makes no sense. It’s phenomenal what your mind can do.
Makes me wonder how the Republican controlled AZ state senate qualified their 2020 election auditor? Did they have their degrees from Trump University? This would be consistent with the methodology used.
PA is not a republican run state. It's been Blue for some time now, and getting even worse with people from NY and NJ coming here and escaping their overtaxed, expensive and fascist states.
Maricopa county is the most culturally diverse County in Az. It also has the highest median income, I suspect.
These 2 things are a pretty good predictor of a Dem win.
Maricopa county has been slowly swinging Dem for the last decade. I like to think I had a little influence when I lived there a decade ago ;).
I would suggest you’re commenting purely from bias and not from any sort of critical examination. Before the election Az was always in play and it went Dem. There really is nothing to see here.
Which begs the question why he didn't move to extract any Americans or Afghan allies during his term even though he had 11 months in office from the time of his agreement with the Taliban to do so:
President-elect Joe Biden will inherit a backlog of tens of thousands of such cases from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and a bureaucratic tangle that refugee advocates say President Trump ignored or made worse.
“We have a moral obligation to those who served shoulder to shoulder with our men and women on the ground and who put their security and the security of their family members at risk,” said retired Gen. David H. Petraeus, who commanded U.S. forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
The backlog includes about 17,000 Afghan translators and others who helped U.S. forces or diplomats and who are seeking special visas to resettle in the United States. With immediate family members who would come too, those applications represent an estimated 70,000 Afghans. The number for Iraqis is estimated at about 100,000.
Many claim harassment or death threats, and the danger may increase as Trump plans to withdraw additional U.S. forces from war zones where Americans have been deployed for nearly 20 years.
Thanks, but I already have two My Pillows, and they're worth every penny. 😉
(Do you have any?)
Did you get them in time to cry into them when Biden was declared president?
"Fascist states"? Jesus. I know sometimes American English can mangle some words but in what way do those or any states in the US fit the definition of fascist? Also what did you call all those actions Trump was trying to take to undermine democracy in the US? Do you have your own version of reality?
No. I am mad at myself for, in stuffed pillow fashion, not “inventing” the stuffed Trump teddy bear that sold to so many bikers back in 2016. Wonders. Will there be a secondary 2024 market?
🤑🤑
Jaysus that Lindell lad is mad as a bag of shpiders.
Says all you need to know about Trump supporters if they believe anything that comes out of that unhinged guys mouth.
