Trump enters the stage

Sure, and buying a bucket of worms could have been a cost effective lunch, we don’t talk about every possible cost effective option. I don’t know why you’re still talking about this. The man is on some ballets. Oh well.

There IS something to that, as a matter of fact some things which are of considerable concern. My own opinion is very decided in many issues, too many, to late, reflecting the very closely edged double interpretation of who says what, to whom, why , etc

There was a glitch here, to download the link so I copied a part of the pertinent version. That it’s neutral from my point of view, does not demonstrate a particular bias for I believe the game is of smoke and mirrors. None dare call it a conspiracy, and it is a major theme that necessarily may hide contentiously,

That’s your point of view, not mine…

I can talk about whatever I like… do philosophy or f*ck off you demented tool, and take your childish arguments with you.

Doing philosophy is just talking about whatever random ideas might be effective options for things we don’t even care to achieve? Damn, I’ve been doing philosophy wrong the whole time.

What do you think is the best way to get an elephant into my house? I just have normal sized doors. It’s time for some real philosophy hours now. Show me how it’s done Magsj.

Reeling, from when I said that you weren’t smarter than me… it’s left you bitter and twisted.

Go bore someone else!

Oh, THAT’S what’s supposed to have offended me. Lmao. I completely forgot you said that. I think you’re more obsessed with yourself than I am honey. I haven’t thought about it once since reading it.

.
Of course not… ; )

You have a lot in common with Iambiguous. He also does this thing where he says something, convinces himself in his own head that it’s gotten under other peoples skin, and then keeps vaguely referring to it later. He’ll say something silly like “that’s the only thing you ever could have done”, and then get high on that for weeks, thinking that that was some massive stroke of genius that’s just weighing on peoples minds, influencing everything they say to him because they can’t get over what he said.

Meanwhile nobody else really thought much of it when it was said.

You gotta relax lmao. Nobody’s smelling your farts as intensely as you are.

.
I don’t need to convince myself of anything…

Just remember, your own sense of self importance is always bigger than other people’s sense of your importance. Big yourself up too much and you start to look really silly. Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth.

Anyway, back to the topic, Trump.

It’s truly amazing how much he managed to milk the presidency for personal gain. Completely unabashed flogging of useless tripe. I think my favourite part was him selling Bibles that he signed. Is that sacreligious?

Sounds more like plagiarism to me, the authorship has been compromised, that’s far more serious

Here is a case developing from last year’s playbook about dubious authorship, that gives the now essential need for some kind of clarity about how cyberpolitics can influence public perception and vica Versa. Can cyberreality self correct?

The emergence of a third state, is sorely needed and the stupor of some established media channels , like the Washington post displays only frightful apathetic fear to jump from nihilistic fear, of jumping to new , and doable frontiers.

Sorely, the New left was left in sorryful dirmancy, and a new-new Left MUST be the one to take the republican babies and cradle them for better or for worse,before those loving arms transform into spiteful figures of deception , throwing the last chance civilization has to self correct human folly.

Pennsylvania Has Already Become Ground Zero for Election-Fraud Claims

Trump and supporters are amplifying doubts in a key swing state before any ballots have been tallied—alarming state and local officials

Nuns in Erie falsely accused of perpetrating voter fraud. A suburban Philadelphia election-line snafu amplified worldwide in under half an hour. A Tuesday night rallying cry by Donald Trump: “They have already started cheating in Lancaster.”

Across Pennsylvania, local and state officials are warning that efforts by Trump and his supporters to call into question the integrity of the presidential election in the crucial swing state are ramping up—before a single ballot has been counted.

The state’s top election official, Republican Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, said Wednesday that in just the previous 24 hours, several widely disseminated videos lacked context or were false.

“Sharing social posts filled with half-truths or even outright lies is harmful to our representative democracy,” he said at a press conference, urging voters to get information from trusted sources and adding that “mis- and disinformation” about the state’s election is “likely to continue in the coming days and weeks ahead.”

Authorities such as Schmidt have said that they worry the attacks could erode faith in the system while many citizens are still preparing to vote, and that it is setting the stage for fierce post-Nov. 5 legal challenges.

“I don’t think it’s a secret how important Pennsylvania is in determining who will win the race for the White House or control of the Senate,” Schmidt said, of the forces drawing election skeptics to the state.

With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is considered a must-win for both Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, who are virtually neck-and-neck in the state. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden defeated then-President Trump by about 1 percentage point.

While Pennsylvania faced an avalanche of unsuccessful litigation by Trump and his allies challenging the 2020 results, those efforts largely emerged after Election Day. Now, the push to cast doubt on the state’s electoral system is already well under way.

Posts suggesting or declaring systemic fraud in Pennsylvania, propelled by Elon Musk and other pro-Trump influencers on Musk’s X platform, are outpacing public officials’ attempts to explain the realities on the ground. Authorities say the posters are misrepresenting routine or unverified problems, leading to a false narrative about electoral malfeasance.

“Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before,” Trump declared to his nearly eight million Truth Social followers Wednesday morning, demanding an immediate law-enforcement intervention.

Foreign operatives also appear to be playing a role in the escalating effort to portray chaos in Pennsylvania ahead of Nov. 5. Recent viral footage purportedly showing a person destroying mail-in ballots was a hoax created by unspecified Russian actors, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and two other federal agencies.

Many Pennsylvania claims are circulating on X, in an “Election Integrity Community” recently launched by Musk’s PAC as a repository for people to share suspected fraud. Claims shared in the group include one from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of a bus of “non-English speaking ‘citizens’ fast-tracked to the front” of voting lines.

Conservative activist Scott Presler, who heads a voter-registration group called Early Vote Action, is among those zeroed in on Pennsylvania.

On Sunday, Presler thrust Luzerne County into the national spotlight, relaying a “scoop” to his 1.7 million X followers. He shared a video of a county official speaking at a public meeting about a batch of last-minute voter applications, some dating to June, delivered by a former election worker. “If we do not address these inconsistencies,” Presler wrote. “Pennsylvania voters cannot have confidence in fair & free elections.”

“This needs to be investigated,” Musk chimed in, reposting Presler’s message to his own 202 million followers. That had been reposted 17,000 times as of Wednesday.

Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce, a Republican, said Monday his office did investigate. “None of the registrations were fraudulent,” he said in a news release.

Yet Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo doesn’t expect the suspicion to end. “There are people that, no matter what we say or do, are not going to believe that we’re following the system,” she said.

A PODCAST FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

P ennsylvania Becomes Ground Zero for Election-Fraud Claims

W hile administrative hiccups or local complaints always arise in elections, the difference now in Pennsylvania is that they are being spread globally by influencers with millions of followers.

In less than 30 minutes Tuesday, the complaint about county workers in Bucks County outside Philadelphia closing down a line too early raced across social media—from the X account of the Trump campaign’s political director, to reposts from conservative celebrities, including commentator Jack Posobiec, to his two million followers.

Bucks officials blamed miscommunication for the fact that people lined up to apply for an on-demand mail ballot were “briefly told they could not be accommodated.”

Trump’s campaign on Wednesday sued the county, claiming its officials violated state election law by turning away voters. Later in the day, a judge extended the deadline for voters to apply for and receive mail-in ballots in person at a local election office.

Trump has called out two Pennsylvania counties, Lancaster and York, for what he said was election fraud.

Authorities in Lancaster County, about 70 miles west of Philadelphia, said Friday they were investigating about 2,500 possible fraudulent voter-registration applications submitted to the elections board on the cusp of the registration deadline. The workers noticed irregularities, didn’t process the applications and referred them to law enforcement.

Officials said the potentially fraudulent applications included people registered in both parties.

Schmidt, the Republican chief election official, called Lancaster County’s actions a sign that “safeguards in our voter registration process are working.”

During a campaign rally in Allentown Tuesday night, Trump portrayed the investigation as complete—and voter-registration applications as actual votes cast in Lancaster. “They have cheated. We caught them with 2,600 votes. Now we caught them cold, 2,600 votes.” He echoed the same message over social media.

The blatant lies… this is how they make Trump look evil, by blatantly lying by editing his orations.

That made me laugh. So the first clip has all these various news sources quoting trump saying “whether the women like it or not” as if that was not what he said, but then the second clip literally ends with him saying that exact quote.

.
Keep acting deliberately obtuse… and no, I won’t be entering into any bullish (on your part) dialogue.

I can only surmise that you’re bored, if you’re not trolling.

Keep bringing the laughs magsj, that video was a good one.

“Look at all these lying news orgs saying he said this line, when really the reality is… he said this line.” Too funny.

I’m literally not even bothered he said it, I just find the information presentation in that video hilariously bad.

The video shows clips of like, I didn’t count, maybe 10 news orgs showing that clip. The implication is that they showed the clip out of context, but the editor of the video literally cut out the rest of the context from at least 9 of the 10 news orgs he was criticising.

He’s trying to prove they clipped it out of context by himself cutting out context. I’d bet money most of those news orgs showed more of what he said than what was shown in that video you linked. They didn’t all just show him saying “whether the women like it or not” with nothing else.

That’s the irony. And people fall for this stuff.

.
The fact that the Dems keep declaring that Trump is anti-women kinda supports the claim in the video, to the point that he is being made to seem evil and even demonic.

Why did the maker of that video want trump to seem evil and demonic?
