    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      All conveniently overlooked by those congratulating them.

      Then in the case of AOC the Chicoms are likely fellow travelers.
      It does; I believe it was Josh Hawley who sponsored a bill to ban it from being installed on any government provided devices to prevent spying (though the idea of someone old enough to work for the government installing an app with a heavy preteen audience makes me scratch my head).

          Can you imagine the reaction from the Left if a conservative congratulated people for a deception? AOC gets away with it for some reason. The Leftist media ignore it.

            They lost their minds when Russian trolls posted images to Facebook that almost nobody saw, and now here we are with a Chinese based app having a dramatic impact on turnout to a rally, and they cheer. Hypocrites.

              But the Trump campaign and Pascale said that the fake sign-ups had nothing to do with the poor showing, which only makes sense because the fake sign-ups who didn't show up had no effect on stopping anyone else from attending had they chose to do so. As many people who wanted to attend did attend, they just didn't get the hundreds of thousands that they were duped into thinking would be there. They are trying to come up with other excuses such as people were afraid there might be violence, but of course they have to come up with some kind of excuse for such a disnal kickoff to the campaign. Perhaps the polls are right and some republicans are wising up to the con man rhetoritician.

                  It doesn't matter. A deception on Chinese-sponsored social media took place, AOC applauded it, the Leftist media turns a blind eye.

                  Now, what was that hysteria about Russia again? You know, the one that the media had a meltdown about?

                    Never said that. What I said is the Chinese just influenced American politics and interfered in our elections. Why are you not upset? Is it because they were helping Democrats and hurting Republicans, showing your concern about foreign influences were 100% bogus?

                    2) *HOW* am I being played by Trump making an absolute fool of himself and costing himself tremendous political capital? If all it takes for him to humiliate himself is for me to likewise make myself a fool then sign me up.
                    How did that happen? Because your Chinese pals played a psychological ops campaign that got you to believe a lie? Good Job, a foreign government just interfered in an election and you can care less.

                    3) You will have to explain how the fact that TikTok is a Chinese company demonstrates Chinese interference. Did you know that Facebook was took a huge amount of Russian money at the beginning? Does that mean Facebook is guilty of Russian interference?
                    4) You seem to have tons of time to read threads on here despite working on a military base. Doesn't sound like something that would fly.

                    • I see in his rally Trump spent several minutes describing the events that led him to struggle to drink a glass of water or walk down a ramp.

                      In the rally he invents and recounts a lengthy fictitious conversation he supposedly had with the general at West Point before walking down the ramp with with that general. (The whole thing was on camera so we can see no such conversation occured)

                      Someone has made this into quite a hilarious segment in the style of a political ad (minor language warning). Well worth watching.

                        The difference being that american teens are not Russians. Besides, what they did, whether you agree with it or not, has nothing to do with the low turnout of Trump supporters, the Trumpsters just didn't show up.

                          Wrong. American teens are not Russians, Lilpix.

                            I see. So if domestic deceptions take place and are applauded by Democrats (like AOC), that's OK. Got it.

                            Besides, what they did, whether you agree with it or not, has nothing to do with the low turnout of Trump supporters, the Trumpsters just didn't show up.
                            Irrelevant to my point.

                                It's because you haven't established that this op has anything to do with China.

                                Again, you have to establish that any state actor was involved in this op.

                                That's true, but I see you checking up on threads constantly during work hours.
