At worst they exaggerated the stupidity of what Trump said. Here's a guy with more resources for information than anyone in the world, and he spouts crap like this that's beyond his comprehension in the first place. You gotta laugh or cry.
Meanwhile, dolt-stream media lies constantly and horrendously. What about that influence? |

Here's a good criticism of US media.
After Lying Barbie's last misinfo presser, a female Brit reporter asked "Isn't the president just being a sore loser here?" She asked twice, and of course there was no reply from Barbie. She followed up with "Is the president not accepting the results of the election?" Good stuff. This is what the press should be doing, not letting these lying liars off easy. |

There's no doubt that a ton of toxic, lying drivel has flowed from the White House, and I guess by Bubba's standards, that would amount to interfering with the election.
Didn't McEnany start off her WH role with the promise that she'd never lie? She must've needed an emergency nose job after that one. |

Not only did he speculate about injecting disinfectant, some of his moron followers actually ingested it. And Lysol brand actually had to, you know, advise against it.

Trump has completely lost interest in the pandemic now that he sees that there's nothing in it for him. He mopes around, feeling sorry for himself, and doesn't seem to give a crap about all the people dying. Poor baby. Anyone who believed a single thing he said about the pandemic is apparently a sucker. Trump feeds off suckers.
It's obvious that America lost faith in Trump and voted him out. It was a fair and free election. There were no frauds except the odd one here and there, usually involving a Republican. Given technological advances, this was probably the most solid election in the US ever. Trump lost and he's being a baby. Pathetic. |

Here's a great example of election fraud. The GOP in NV have forwarded a list of members of the military to the DOJ for prosecution. They seem to think it's illegal for active members of the military to be allowed to vote in their home state, despite this being their right.
No wonder Trump lost. His party is not only stupid, but nasty. |

He is who we thought he is, only worse. He has no idea how to handle adversity because he's always just given up and had others bail him out. He is the single most cowardly president in my lifetime, and likely in the history of this country. He once commented that he'd have gone into Parkland during the mass shooting there in search of the shooter. It is to laugh; this draft dodging snowflake would've crapped his pants and waddled away as fast as his loaded pants and fat ass would take him. Yeah, he's a real hero all right.
Now he cowers in the White House, eating fast food, hoping that others will again bail him out, and he won't feel the ignominy of getting tossed out. Fat chance. |

I am very surprised that Mitch McConnell hasn't put on his big boy trousers and made some positive steps to reduce Covid infections with the GOP. I believe there are some near future senate run offs coming that may allow the Democrats to take the senate. I imagine that if USA fatalities reach 400,000 in near months and if the Republicans do nothing, McConnell is simply handing the senate to the Democrats. McConnell seems to have lost the plot.

Donald Trump doesn't love this country, he doesn't care about it at all. He's not a law and order president, he's a "what's in it for me" president. This latest voter fraud, fraud, isn't out of concern for our democratic process, it's a "**** you" to his perceived enemies, a binkey to his bruised ego, and another grift with which to fill his coffers to eliminate campaign debt, recount debt, and boost the RNC's operating account. He's aware he lost the election, he just doesn't care, and knows he can con enough morons to **** things up. He's humping the flag, jizzing into the constitution, while running a long con on his credulous supporters. Voter fraud, "who cares?" It's entirely about the grift. And the republican party want's its share.

Why hasn't Trump conceded.??
Why did Hillary tell Joe "Do not concede, no matter what"..? Did the Founders see this coming? Watch it before they make it disappear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBcQ...ature=youtu.be |

Why yes comrade. Again, glad I could help, but it seems you need more. I can recommend any number of volumes but perhaps one of the most important would be a work by Carl Sagan titled Demon Haunted World. Along with another by Michael Shermer called Why People Believe Weird Things. These books are only tangentially related to the topic, but do provide insight into the nature of credulity, and perhaps a way forward from that tar pit, but as with all things, that is left up to the individual. It really is a shame that many are so lacking in critical thinking skills, but it is up to us to offer a bridge over that abyss.
Oh, and by the way, Joseph Biden is the 46th president of the United States of America, like it or not, ridiculous conspiracies or not, abject credulity in the face of objective reality or not. This is a fact regardless of any Trump temper tantrums, or adventures in grifting gullibles. 0 for 16 is no way to go through life son. If you need more in-depth instruction, I suggest your local community college to get your feet wet in pursuit of actual academics, versus the stagnant cesspool of social media where you are currently mired. |

Didn't Q-Anon tell you!?! Trump is pretending to raise $60,000,000 for a legal fight. However the fine print says the money can be used to settle pre-existing campaign debt. Trump ran out of money. He needs to get Republicans to keep paying off the campaign.
"Money raised for Trump's election fights would help cover campaign debt" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...onations-debt/ "Trump fundraising push for election challenge would also pay down campaign debt" https://www.masslive.com/politics/20...aign-debt.html |

Not speaking for TGZ, but the thing that worries me about the smart people doing nothing to stop Trump is the way that eggs on the really dumb people who seem to make up so much of his strutting and strident base. It's one thing to have an uninformed constituency; it's another thing entirely to deliberately want them misinformed.

There is no evidence of significant vote fraud.

I am worried that smart people make it a habit to use Trump-like figures to control US policy and enrich themselves: Trump has set the precedent that a for-profit Presidency is perfectly compatible with the Emoluments Clause as long as you have the Senate.
No doubt adversaries like Russia and China are already brainstorming how they can field a candidate controlled by them or, in the case of Russia, another candidate. |

IMO yer wrong about the vehicle, as he appears to be facing a camera clipped to the rear view mirror. Furthermore his southern-ish accent indicates he is all american. But to the point...when all one offers in response is silly stuff, does that mean zip is all that you have on the issue?? What of his claim suggesting the founders saw this day coming?? He claims HIllary was aware of the process when she exhorted Biden and his lawyers "Do not concede, no matter what." Could this be why Trump is not conceding?? |

No, what Trump actually said....(before MSM removed the third word) is as follows:

No. The words "Injectable Disinfectant" are seen on the Healight AYTU UV therapy literature, which I posted a few moons back, on another thread, which you pissed on.

OK, Lemme get this straight.... So you two actually believe that the guy (trump) actually meant injecting household disinfectant such as bleach or Lysol...?? Is this what you are saying?? Really?? Can you see how MSM's 'reporting' on this influenced the election? (they have yet to mention Healight AYTU UV Injectable Disinfectant) Speaking of influencing the election by supporting TDS, here is some more on censorship, seen in comments on the disinfectant issue:

Conspiracy or not....this is how "impartial" MSM and the Social giants influenced the election. Back to my question...please confirm, do you two (Resume and eerok) actually seriously believe that the guy (trump) actually seriously meant injecting household disinfectant such as bleach or Lysol...?? for your convenience, a chance to review and reconsider:

I'm not seeing any success at all with Trump's allegations of fraud. He complained about what Harris would do in the role of VP, which was a slip up. He doesn't really believe that he won. It seems he's just milking the GOP fund-raising machine and pocketing the cash. That's classic Trump, a sleazy POS to the end.

He said inject disinfectant, as had been demonstrated, and some of his idiot follower did. Period.

Thanks Resume,
So you say Trump actually meant cleaning products...? This was in his talk which BTW began and ended with reference to Light therapies and UV Light therapies. You actually believe that in the middle of talking about Light therapies, he rambled off and actually proposed or suggested injecting Lysol or bleach into the body??
Quote:
You are sure he had not seen or heard of Healight AYTU UV Injectable Disinfectant, before he began his talk about Lght and UV light therapies?? |
