That's a cryptic comment. Why don't you clearly state your opinion?

...and yet, MAGAMorons still believe it was “stolen”. Just how dumb are these Zeros?


The corruption so bad, the fraud so widespread, the deep state so deep, it's all just more censorship!

The MAGAMoron POV.

Will not filter into the cults awareness, not close what they choose to believe.

It's a quote of a pointed observation made by a TV character
in Community. It's funny because it's true.

Please clearly state what you want my opinion on.

That would depend on your neighborhood of course.

You answered the question with your response "It's funny because it's true".

It ain't true and it ain't funny.

What's not true?

Have you watched the Community episode about Glendale College's creation of their generic race/gender free mascot, Human? Although if you had seen it, you just may not have gotten the joke/point.

Yes, of course. This is true of any city that I know of.

I would say the number is about right. It would be just a little below 1/3 of all Americans and put it at most voters. I agree with that figure. If course, I've not been brainwashed by the MSM (including FOX) since I've not had television in my home since 1997. I pull all news, as opposed to let nonsense be pushed to me.

YMMV.

BTW, you'll notice I don't post much any more. Barking dogs never bite.

And the non-seized, not-in-Germany election servers did not belong to the CIA but to Scytl, a Spanish company, who has no offices in Germany. Geez, do you fact check anything you read?



Is it though? Where exactly and how? Can you show me something in the Constitution to this effect? The military obeys only legal orders and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has already said that there is no role for the US military in determining the outcome of an election.

I will not go down the rabbit hole of whether Trump acts in the country's interest or in his own. If you really believe the former at this point there's nothing I can say to change your mind. However, I will ask you this: Trump has been publicly predicting and "agonizing" over voter fraud for the last 4 years. What has he done about it? Can you name a single policy, initiative, or bill that the administration has put forth to combat voter fraud? If you can't - and you can't because he hasn't - as yourself how that complete lack of action accords with how you portray him in your paragraph above. If election fraud was such a dire threat to our democracy, and Trump knew about it - WHY HASN'T HE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT?
Yes. Of everything I've used to support my arguments, this particular case was by far the weakest of all. Yes, you nailed me on it. I actually regretted posting it almost immediately. I almost brought it up on a "real" political site I used but DID fact check it first and after seeing the consensus from all sides, I chose not to post.

However, this article below may best describe what is going on with this story. It's not the latest, but what I think may be the best analysis of the whole thing. It appears there may be some real news and some added nonsense - like virtually all news stories - but some sources ran with all of it, putting a lot of egg on a lot of people's faces, including mine.

Why there likely was a server seized. Why there was probably no firefight. How that server is now being used as a high level bargaining chip, and why it will probably never be made public.

And, of course, you can google the whole "Scytle/Germany" thing at any time. However, be warned, Google is just going to throw up the "it never happened stories" right up front. To get to articles like the one I posted you need to try Dogpile, Duckduckgo or Bing.

Google is becoming much like Wikipedia - very useful for non-controversial stuff, but pretty useless otherwise.
