All conveniently overlooked by those congratulating them.
Then in the case of AOC the Chicoms are likely fellow travelers."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

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

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.
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.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 06-21-2020, 08:39 PM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

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."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

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.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostNever 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?
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.
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.
