    It doesn’t fucking matter. He can splatter an infant against a tree like an old testament god and nothing will ever happen then either.

    Here we go again. Even when he’s literally found guilty, it makes no difference because there’s just not the will to make it stick.

    He can confess to multiple murders and show the bodies on stage and nothing will happen. The US “justice” system only applies to poor people.

      Yep I am not giving to many conspiracies but I do believe he cheated in many states. Only how he could win the popular vote. But unfortunately he still won because of sexiest and racist.

        What evidence do you have other than “a feeling”? Which is what the republicans have been insisting on since 2020.

        MAYBE there was limited election fraud in swing states. Nation wide, there was consistently lower Democratic turnout in basically every county in every state. That is HOW trump got the popular vote. Because people were too fucking stupid and selfish to go fucking vote.

        So unless trump controlled every single machine in every single county? He won. And if he DID control that, he would have won by much larger and much stupider margins.

        The problem was not “the computers” (that is gonna be the 2026 and 2028 problem…). The problem is that we spent the past 8 years smiling and nodding when self proclaimed leftists can’t go five fucking minutes without ranting about how nobody’s vote matters and we all deserve to suffer because their candidate didn’t win in two thousand and fucking sixteen.

    “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

    Trump is so old he probably means human computers. They were still around when he was a young man. Right? He meant the people counting the votes, right? Heaven forbid he actually tried to monkey with the voting machines. Because that would be illegal, and totally unthinkable for someone with a stainless reputation like His Orangeness…

      Don’t assume there’s anything meaningful behind what he says. His algorithm is mind-numbingly simple: say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

      That’s all there is. There is no thought and no feeling. He has no more inner life than a cockroach.

        say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

        And that’s exactly how he gets away with all the stuff he does: people simply assume he’s talking crap, until they realize he wasn’t.

        Trump should not be allowed to say anything remotely controversial without meeting fact-checking and extreme resistance at each and every step. Either that’ll teach him to be careful with what he says, or he’ll eventually get caught incriminating himself. If people let him say any old thing because of the sheer volume of bullshit coming out of his piehole, he’s gonna keep getting away with everything.

      Do you have a source? I don’t remember it and I’m not turning much up by searching.

          It looked reasonable on the surface, largely because of the “factual” claims he made. But as soon as you start peeking into the publicly available numbers, it falls apart. He said 11% bullet ballots in NC. It was around 2.2%. That’s the one I verified myself.

          In North Carolina, which saw 11% of votes for Trump cast as bullet votes.

          NC had 5.67m presidential votes. NC had 5.54m gubernatorial votes. A difference of 128k. 128k/5.67m = 2.257%

          I checked a couple other NC races as well. It doesn’t get close. Not to mention places like NYC went more red too. Do we think they cheated in NYC too? Did they cheat literally everywhere?

          Of course the bullet ballot guy makes the claim that the swing states and the surrounding states are different, but they really weren’t. His numbers are just lies.

    Some people may think that, but from the video it is not clear. He just mentions Elon knows computers very well. There will be enough real news with president Trump, we don’t need this kind of journalism.

      It sounds like standard demented Trump. Musk -> Technology -> Computers -> Voting Machines -> Hey, everybody remember, how I won the election?!
