2024 US Presidential Election

[Fake Messiah]

Also China is bad. Also cholera is bad. Also Nazis are bad. I say this just in case people think I support those things.

You never said that Hamas is bad and you didn't say that Russia is bad.

A poll back in August showed that pick up thousands of votes in swing states if she promised to work for an arms embargo.

And tell us how would that solve problems when Iran launches rockets on Israel? You know when Iran launched almost 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel recently?

Should Jews just die? Would that make you happy?

[The Grand Nudger]

Israel wont be destroyed by iranian missiles or stop killing gazans just because of some silly embargo.

The two most prominently featured faith leaders (next to Ben Carson) are Ché Ahn and Jenny Donnelly.




Ché Ahn is one of the most respected apostles in the New Apostolic Reformation. He rejects the separation of church and state because he believes Christians should control the "Seven Mountains" of culture. He believes that Christians should "rule and reign over the U.S. through President Trump and under the lordship of Jesus Christ." Ché Ahn is also the apostle of a massive international network of thousands of churches and ministries all around the globe.

Within that network (HIM), Jenny Donnelly (also pictured), is a recently ordained apostle who just staged a mass rally in DC on 10/12/24 (which I mentioned in the topic "Stupid things religious people say") where Ché Ahn was comparing Trump to the biblical character Jehu and Kamala Harris to Queen Jezebel. He invoked the image of the brutal execution of Jezebel and the desecration of her body as a prophecy for this election.

Trump admits he's speaking to Netanyahu "almost every day" to sabotage Biden's ceasefire efforts

[Fake Messiah]

I think he's changed the conversation enough that it makes Trump 2.0 possible. The political conversation in this country the last nine years allows for shitbagging going forward to be accepted as "discourse". We have a huge swath of people primed and ready for more racist, sexist, xenophobic statements that even ten years ago would have been unacceptable. Yet now 70+ million Americans find it votable.

Trump is not a problem, but the failure of the justice system is the main problem. This guy should have been in prison for all the laws he broke and not a Presidential candidate. The decision to put the whole justice system to a halt and "let voters defeat him at the Presidential elections" is a tragedy. This is why the Roman Empire fell: people stopped caring for the laws and just arbitrarily proclaimed their own emperors.

^Trump is precisely the problem. The failure of your justice system occurred to accommodate Trump, nothing else.

The justice system is made to overlook the rich white men. Just look at what Elon is doing with buying the votes.

Also, I must be going crazy but I watched the beginning of that idiot Bill Maher's show. As a first guest, he had Megyn Kelly to tell us why she was voting for Trump, and Maher just let her lie her ass off without correcting her and saying, "Yes, you're right."

She named two reasons. One was that Trump would save the American children from doctors who are, according to her, persuading the parents their children are the wrong gender and thus need surgery. Seriously? Trump doesn't care for children, he even steals money from children with cancer. And, of course, her claims are not true.

The other thing is the problems with the border which Trump will fix. And yet, we all know that Trump is the main problem because he threatened Republicans not to pass the border bill so he can run on it.

'm talking about the electorate that installed Trump and allowed him to stack the courts with judges and justices will to play Twister® with the Constitution. A significant proportion of that electorate is primed for another Trump. Does it require some sort of charisma and panache of a politician? Of course it does. "Twas ever thus -- except for Calvin Coolidge.

The idea that Trump would allow a DoJ prosecution to go forward because of a court order doesn't strike me as realistic, anyway/ He simply go full Jackson and dare them to enforce it.

Russian actors made fake video depicting mail-in ballots for Trump being destroyed, FBI says

Russian actors were behind a widely circulated video falsely depicting mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in Pennsylvania, U.S. officials confirmed on Friday.

The video had taken off on social media Thursday but was debunked within three hours by local election officials and law enforcement after members of the public reported it.

Researchers who closely study Russian foreign influence campaigns had previously connected the video to a Russian disinformation network known as Storm-1516 or CopyCop. The network has previously shared numerous videos with false claims about Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

The video used a Black actor with a foreign accent — a choice that may be intentional as a way to inflame existing divisions on American soil, according to Josephine Lukito, an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin who has researched Russian disinformation.

It’s a common strategy in fake videos originating in Russia, she said.

“It tends to amplify racism, right?” Lukito said. “There’s already this kind of groundswell of discussion about immigrants that are illegally voting or immigration broadly. Russian disinformation absolutely exploits that.”
