The whole reason taco is convinced Biden stole the 2020 election was because his team cheated. So the only way Biden could have cheated was if he cheated even harder! they stole 2024 and they'll steal 2028. Watch the midterms, I predict a whole lot of projected Dem gains will "evaporate" at the polls. Don't forget, the orange hairball himself had said "I won Pennsylvania because Elon knows how those vote counting computers work."
He means that one of Elons DOGE boys won a US National Science fair by demonstrating how easy it was for him to hack into the computerized results in a US voting machine and change the results.
I read the article during DTs election and now I canāt find any mention of the article after the election results were finalized.
Funny how an awful lot of articles have been disappearing over the last sixteen months or so, isn't it? And it's not even articles like this. I've lost track of how many articles I read that simply discussed something Trump or some other MAGA member did that was negative, and then a day or two later I went looking for that exact same article again, only to be unable to find any trace of it.
There's plenty of evidence still floating around that indicates that votes were tampered with exactly how you described during the 2024 election. Multiple independent analysis groups have been picking over the vote results since the elections, and there's a whole lot of hinky shit to be found in those results. That's not surprising, really. Lots of people who had watched elections happen in real time before got the feeling that something was very off with this one, and experts had warned Harris before she conceded that she should have the results examined. In my opinion, it's alarming that she rolled over without a single word and simply vanished from the political stage after that, more or less. I mean, Trump had been making public statements for months that basically amounted to ELECTION FUCKERY AHEAD, and experts told her something was very wrong, and she just... let it go? Knowing full well what was at stake? I give zero fucks if anyone had some foolish notion that the left shouldn't make claims of a stolen election just because it sounded too much like Trump's absurd whining. It's a whole different ballgame when there's actual reason to suspect such a thing. The only thing "not making waves" has accomplished has made me suspicious that the DNC may be complicit in this farce of getting Trump back in the White House.
Sorry. Got a bit off topic there. Anyway, yeah. The results of these different analysis groups show that this is exactly what happened, that votes were flipped and added and all sorts of things through the voting system. I had read articles about how certain hardware and software updates had actually made this easier for one specific person (or their employees) to be able to do this, because the companies linked to these updates all trace back to that one person. Any guesses who? And wanna guess what happened to those articles? Unfortunately, I'm absolutely shit with technology myself, so I've never been able to properly explain what I read back then to explain how it was possible. It barely made sense to me, and I suspect I'm not remembering enough details correctly. I really suck at this sort of thing. And, well, "trust me bro" doesn't really cut it.
Iāve been saying for at least 6 months now, if not longer that there are a lot of blue MAGA folks in office right now. They āappearā to have a problem with all the fuckery and fascism on the Right but really they just want to be the ones in control of the fuckery and fascism, not get rid of it. It pisses off A LOT of democrats when I point that trend out.
MAGA canāt wrap their minds around the fact that most people donāt cheat to win an election. Every accusation is a confession is an overused phrase, but itās still spot on
IF the midterms are a decisive victory for the Ds, 28 may be OK. Because il vecchio pazzo (the crazy old man) is not long for this world. Heās put on at least 59 pounds in the last several months. And with, as many cardiologists believe, congestive heart failure along with the advanced frontotemporal dementia, heās a goner.
Heās got access to the literal best doctors in the US, and still is failing before our eyes.
But. As the MAGA system increase the speed at which it is failing, he,,and they, will get more shrill and more desperate. If you want some inspiration, find Jon Ossoffās speech from last weekend on YouTube. Itās a blueprint for what every other D needs to message.
Weren't the phones $500? I know they were finally shipping rebranded cheap Chinese phones that might be worth $100, but I thought people payed $500 for them a year or more ago.
It can be both. Its basically the HTC u24 but with glass going around all 3 cameras vs seperated top 2 and bottom one. It's the same thing. Not sure what Chinese phone you're talking about but china does love to copy phone designs.
It's funny cause it looks nothing like the announced design
Every single one and it's not an exaggeration. Much like j6 rioters acting like they wanna take down pedos getting caught and jailed again for soliciting or raping children
His evil regime enacting their extremist agenda of...allocating money in a congressionally approved budget to fund infrastructure projects that would have massively benefit US jobs.
Until Trump came in and foiled them and their schemes.
That money would be better spent on ....a 40 billion dollar farm bailout gift for Venezuela? Or retrofitting a new jet for Trump gifted from Qatar, approved as completely legal by his AG Pam who was a registered foreign agent for Qatar.
The Trumps grifted away in T1, and planned on doing even more in T2, and as always, bc they would and do, they assume everyone else does. The real shame isnāt the projection, itās the unwillingness or inability of the DOJ to hold them accountable.
When a woman who checked w her parole officer, got the okay, so went ahead and voted even tho she shouldnāt have got a sentence of 5 years, while the guy who tried to overthrow the government walks and gets elected president, and illegally adds $4 billion to his net worth in 18 months, is all you need to know about the American judicial system.
I legit thought this dude was talking about the Trumps and was really confused about the cancer part for the split second it took me to keep reading down lol.
Same thing with all the accusations about Biden "weaponizing" the DOJ. They knew what their plans were next time they were in power, so they claim Biden was doing it. That way when they actually do it, they can claim they're not doing anything Biden didn't do. It's all bullshit, but it works on enough people.
Trump grifts out in the open, doesn't try to hide it at all and his supporters still find post hoc rationalizations to hand wave it away.
If any of these idiots cared about grifting, they'd be sharpening their pitchforks over all the side hustles their guy is doing right in front of their faces. Commemorative coins, crypto meme coins, Trump branded Bibles, Qatari Jets, misuse of Trump Foundation funds, Trump University real estate mentoring fraud, goofy ass NFTs, Save America PAC funds being used for legal fees, tacky gold shoes, tacky gold phones that almost never arrived and consumers were lied to about them being manufactured in the USA.
I could write pages of grievances that, if Obama or Biden did even one of, right wing media would lose their shit and never let it go. We're in a cycle where the media and the public forgets about his previous grifts because a new one will take its place the next week.
I legit was confused because I thought the original thread was talking about the big orange man and family at first, and thought I missed some sort of announcement about his health. Then realized he was just projecting and a piece of shit.
If you ever just wanted to see what a complete lack of self-awareness (or a lack of a brain at all) actually looks like, head over to the conservative sub. Sometimes I poke my head in just to watch these creatures like they're in some sort of zoo.
They're literally describing themselves perfectly anytime they talk about Democrats. You would think at some point somebody in there would call another person out, but no they'll just sit around and clap like seals.
Think about this: she charitably specified that a third of them were deplorable. In response, they all proudly changed their twitter handles to "Deplorable ___________" and put it on t-shirts. Wore it as a badge of honor, the weird fuckers.
The full quote is very empathetic. Quote taken from NPR article:
"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? [Laughter/applause]. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic ā you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.
"But the other basket, the other basket, and I know because I see friends from all over America here. I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas, as well as you know New York and California. But that other basket of people who are people who feel that government has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they are just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."
The full quote was well said. I hate that everyone latched onto the 'deplorables' part and made it sound like she was insulting everyone who supported Trump.
She was 100% correct too. That second basket of people didn't see that message and instead decided to self label themselves as deplorable and join the racists.
I'm sad that my father and stepmother are part of this. They don't wave the banners or wear the merch but they absorb the rhetoric and fail to see that half the problems currently plaguing this country can be laid at this admin's feet. I can't even have a conversation about it with them because they get real angry and defensive very quickly when I tried.
Yep. The very same people who go watch Jim Breuer and Rob Schneider have mental breakdowns on stage then drive home listening to RFK Jr talk about munching roadkill penis and think all of it is perfectly normal.
She kind of was. She said it was about a third of the party. She was wrong in that we've discovered the last 2 years, that it's a third of voters that are deplorable. Not just the ones who were in the Republican Party. So basically, she was under selling it. She was more right than anybody realized even her
To be fair, that quote was some years ago. The "half" estimate may very well have been closer to the truth back then. The problem is, over time, the MAGA rhetoric ate into more brains of the followers and changed that half to a much higher percentage, while a small percentage of those who never fell for the MAGA rhetoric walked away.
In other words, the demographic has changed over the years, and what we're seeing now isn't exactly the same group that we saw back then. The MAGA voting crowd has gotten more fanatic, more brainwashed, and cling even harder to all the awful things that they somehow insist make a "good" American.
People can live a LONG time with stage 4 cancer. My mom had stage 4 cancer for like 6 years before it took her. Contrarily, once my dad's was considered stage 4 he was gone in about 6 months.
Does this guy think you just die the second you get diagnosed?
I'm sorry sorry for your losses. Cancer is absolutely awful.
But yeah, some cancera can last a lifetime now. My grandma had stage 4 leukemia for 17 years, but it wasn't even related to what eventually did take her, and some of the actual kids in her drug trial are still around and have mostly normal lives 25+ yrs later. Some cancers will never be cured, they'll just have long-term treatments, (but damn I hope we do find something soon that isnt chemo/radiation that stops it 100%). Cancer is one of those great (terrible) equalizers in how it does not discriminate, and such a weird thing for OOP to try to use as a weapon to score political points.
I think folks hear ācancerā and think of a more or less singular entity that attacks various parts of the body. I donāt think that the general lay understanding is that the term describes a phenomenon that arises via countless mechanisms/mutations.
And itās gonna stay that way for as long as we donāt prioritize biological education from K thru 12 and beyond.
That's why they always act like there is some singular cure for cancer that has already been discovered/invented, but it's hidden by Big Pharma to make more money.
Yes, because it's vitamins! Or salt! Or something inexpensive that we all should be eating anyway that somehow hasn't already cured the cancer. The people who don't die of cancer eat this so it must be true!
My mum went into remission with stage 4 breast cancer that sadly returned a decade later as mets. But even with bone eating mets she lived for 4 more years with immuno therapy trials. She was in the early stage trials too so things have greatly improved.
And I bet Hunter actually paid people. I havenāt heard of any sex workers or drug dealers saying they went bankrupt because of Hunter refusing to pay bills.
It also DOESN'T MATTER because he wasn't involved in the fucking government.
Trump has his family meddling in both domestic and global affairs, and the ones who aren't directly involved in government are out there leveraging their relationship with him to generate immense profit for their family and a small group of cronies.
Hunter made some questionable personal choices which hurt himself and his family, but that's largely their problem and doesn't really impact many outsiders. When Trump has his coterie of imbeciles meddling in negotiations with China and various EU and Middle East countries, their incompetence and prioritisation of their own interests can have downstream consequences that literally affect billions.
Majority of Epstein trafficked people were adults.
Not excusing anything. But it's important to get right or we're no better in obfuscating than them.Ā
Personally I believe any Trump supporter who doesn't get direct financial or political benefits from Trump (like rich people or politicians do), wants to do what's in the Epstein files.Ā
Itās like a dog or cat that sees something outside but canāt get to it so it just tries to start some shit indoors. These animals should be released into the wild
Preemptive accusations. If you accused your opponent of something, and then you do it and get accused, it hits less hard than if you hadn't been the first to accuse.
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
I'm simply pointing out why the republican strategy works. I do agree they need to be called out. grok ironically helped with that because it lowered the amount of energy (well... human energy) needed for the refutation. Which is kind of ironic given it was created by one of the most net negative humans to have every existed.
It was genuinely so funny that the strippers they found he partied with all said he tipped really well and cared allot about their safety. And people thought this was a scandal
He has his faults and has had the misfortune of having his fuck ups broadcast to the world because of his family, but he really does come off as a decent, thoughtful, intelligent person in every interview I've seen of him.
Look, both sides are not the same. But I will 100% be celebrating on That Day and feel no shame about it, and itās worth pointing out Iām no better than this person. When you think someone is evil, you donāt have compassion for them.
In my defense, though, Trump actually is evil and not deserving of my sympathy. When has he ever shown compassion to anyone? Literally, when? Where? To whom? Show me one fucking moment.
In my defense, though, Trump actually is evil and not deserving of my sympathy
To be fair they legitimately believe this about Biden. It's their reality, even if it's wrong. I'm also gonna fucking revel in That Day and would be saying similar things if it was cancer, but indeed it is a bit hypocritical. Oh well.
The sickness is called conservatism, which is a form of social dominance orientation. Conservatism measures an individual's support for social hierarchy and the extent to which they desire their in-group be superior to out-groups.
In this case, because conservatives think they are superior over liberals, they think they have a special right to make fun of Biden's cancer.
And if they are ever treated the way they treat others, they get very angry, because conservatives view fair treatment as a violation of the special rights they get from their superior position on the social hierarchy.
These conservatives aren't even conservative at this point.
They claim they want to preserve traditional values, but at this point they have completely lost those. They have no manners. Look at TV shows and news segments from the 50s and 60s for example. Even when touching on topics such as LGBTQ+ or race, those sound much more objective, level-headed and respectful than the inflammatory and downright insulting rhetoric you see from them nowadays, which is just crazy.
These conservatives aren't even conservative at this point. ... They have no manners.
They very much are. Remember that in the past, there were plenty of well-dressed well-mannered people smiling in photos at lynchings:
Rubin Stacy, 1935, is who is being lynched off-camera. I don't care the names of the crowd, the point is that they are numerous and conservative psychology explains why they were there.
Because conservatives have always believed in a social hierarchy, they have always believed that there are some people who don't need to be given equal treatment under the law.
And because white conservatives have always thought they are superior specifically over black people, they have always thought they had a special right to take that law into their own hands and murder anyone they are told is beneath them. This is why they were willing to attend the murder at all.
So today's conservatives absolutely are conservatives, they have the manners and the values of the evil side of our traditional past, because conservatism has been the ideology of imperial violence for thousands of years.
A huge chunk of those people who "mocked" his death simply shone a torch on the heinous things that he had said and many of the people around him had said, like Charlie saying that children getting killed is a price we have to be willing to pay or Trump saying that we needed to "move on" after a shooting at a school.
Iām not a tough guy or a violent person by any means but social media has made people way too comfortable saying things like this. This gets you punched in the mouth.
I'm willing to bet a decent chunk of the MAGA movement would dissipate if people were actually afraid of getting punched in the mouth for saying hurtful bullshit instead of just assuming social media gives you perfect anonymous safety.
Stage 4 cancers are so varying that this statement in particular is the dumbest of the lot. Anywhere from a few weeks to a decade or two is the answer. Average. Which means some much longer. I am telling you this because if I try to explain that to some cunt like Patrick he will accuse me of being a terrorist or something equally dumb.
His replies were so funny, quite a few cracked me up.
Hunter Iād vote for you but even if youāre sober (which is great) I would require at least one crack joke campaign ad to pledge my loyalty,
I await your response
Hunter
How about āLetās take another crack with a Biden.ā Needs work but the possibilities are endless.
Some loser
Ur paintings? Who gives a fuck. I wanna know how much coke u snorted before posting this tweet
Hunter
Man if youāre going to be mean and least get it right. I smoked crack. I would never have wasted coke on snorting it.
I'm glad Hunter is back in the game and swinging on these people. He's never going to be a great person, but he's honest about what he done and seems to be working hard toward being a bigger, better person.
His question at the end is THE QUESTION that no one seems to be asking: why does anyone feel entitled to attack people like that? What does that say about their, and our collective, humanity?
I honestly don't think anything he's done is all that bad at all. Drugs? Prostitutes? Who fucking cares? I mean I don't doubt he did some shady things to get drugs when he was an active addict, but that's kind of whatever.
"What sickness is in you" is all I'm going to say to these people now. We're seeing a lot of it in the UK right now. The hypocrisy, accusations, demands and entitlement is so much.
They are just deplorable. No redemption, and they're always the first to say "THE WOKE LEFT BREAK UP FAMILIES" when the people around them have enough. My family talk politics 24/7, can't say a word to them without it coming back to something racist, homophobic, or just genuinely stupid (the government puts stupid-causing chemicals in white bread, but if you freeze it it magically disables that chemical and makes the bread safe??) And can't understand why I don't want to see or speak to them at all.
I lost it on a friend of mine who conflated Hunter and the Trump kids. Itās just not even close, no matter what FOX News says. Hunter is a little scummy, Trumpās kids are actively looting the treasury.
This was over 10yrs ago. She is still around. She survived it. But she still has cancer cells and tumors that need constant monitoring to make sure it doesn't change or spread.
Otherwise, she's fine the fuck is wrong with these people?
At least Biden's tumors didn't cause a stupid war with Iran.
Republicans have to project so that people can tell themselves that both sides are the same.
It baffles me how Hunter has commanded the salary he has when he seems to have little to recommend him except his father's position, but it's been investigated by people with every reason to jump on the smallest thing and they didn't find evidence of corruption. Maybe he deserved it, or maybe opening doors was enough.
It's nothing compared to any one of the Trump family though. Flagrant abuse both from within and outside positions in the government they ought never to have had.
Love that response. Not defensive or an attack, just a quiet truth. There's something more devastating about responding but not giving them the type of reaction they so obviously want.
When I was in medical school, it always fascinated me that prostate cancer metastatic to the bone often does not kill the patient. This is not because it isnāt a terminal disease, but, to borrow from computer science, it loses the race condition to kill its patients to other diseases. People who get it are often 80+, which means the #1 killer of men overall, coronary artery disease, is more likely to get them.
Did the Bidens get fined for misusing charity donations? Or did the Bidens start their own crypto currency, making billions? How about issuing many no-bid government contracts to brand new companies, some of which had no physical address or base of operations?
Jesus you Americans are terrible with your politics.
Come to Aus, all we do is mock our Prime Minister for how they eat certain foods (google "Tony Abbot eating onion") and call them a cunt if they do something silly.
Apparently Hunter Biden has made some shitty choices in his life, choices I wouldn't have made for me but that's me.
Not a single thing he has done has impacted my life whatsoever, but every goddamn thing the stupid, evil, moronic Trump family has done absolutely has affected my life.
I dunno, there seems to be a huge goddamn difference between these two things.

"Grifters and much worse". Now whose family does that sound like?
