BBC News - US official claims pressure to downplay intelligence reports
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54096520
You do of course realise that this was pure fiction, orchestrated by the Biden campaign.
Not by Joe himself, as he clearly has either senility or dementia to contend with.
You are a Fox News correspondent, and I claim my $5.
You do of course realise that everything there is a matter of public record, from multiple sources.
And Biden never appears to be in any way impaired, unlike Angry Tinkerbell, who can’t walk down a gentle slope without assistance, and needs two hands to hold a cup to drink from, like a four year old.
Which is what he is, by his own admittance.
Plus his speeches are rambling and incoherent, clearly the sign of mental impairments.
I wish I had Bellingcat’s forensic IT skilz, it would be interesting to see where the poster of the above quote’s IP address leads back to...
The IRA, perhaps?...
wonder how long before Donnie bone spurs rings Blowjo with "stop ****ing with the good friday agreement you **** you're killing me with Irish voters"
wonder how long before Donnie bone spurs rings Blowjo with “stop * with the good friday agreement you * you’re killing me with Irish voters”
Biden and Pelosi have already warned that a trade deal may depend on the Anglo-Irish agreement remaining intact, so I'd hope it's a possibility
Two things to remember about our PM and more importantly the power that decicides his thoughs.
He doesn't care.
And
He doesn't care.
I’m really hoping that Putin has logged onto to STW, although I’d probably be a bit more cautious in openly mocking him.
Apparently he only comes here to lurk on the wood burner and coffee maker chat, I don't think there's ever been an "could you wrestle a bear" thread on STW so it's unlikely he'll ever actually post a comment...
Of course I can wrestle bear. I go now to ride my Triton on the trails outside my dacha.
русская печь, best stove.
I am here to see the famous 123m tall singletrack towers.
Best coffee maker is the Novichok.
Roger Stone (the Trump adviser who was convicted of 7 federal felonies which Trump then commuted) has been on good ol’ InfoWars calling for Trump to declare Martial Law, seize power, ignore the “corrupt” election, and arrest Zuckerberg and the Clintons for sedition.
Trump's projection is magnificent - now accusing Biden of taking drugs to get through the debates...!
I read the piece, I used to think that most of these grifters don't believe what they say, they just do it for the (in)fame(y) and money, but y'know, there more I see the way the US is going, the more I see a 2nd civil war happening, Old white people, and militia based morons vs everyone else who can actually think straight. It'll be short but pretty bloody violent fo'shure.
Old white people, and militia based morons vs everyone else who can actually think straight. It’ll be short but pretty bloody violent fo’shure.
Law enforcement have already aligned with "Old white people, and militia based morons" I don't see many indications that the military will do differently. So yeah it will be short, bloody and a genocide on a scale never before seen.
His rally ended up at an airport in Minden, Nevada last night. Population of around 3,000. Nevada governor tried his hardest to prevent it (the state has a 50-person limit for gatherings). So, a spike in COVID numbers in a couple of weeks then 🙄

Is it too tinfoil-y to think they will be very carefully monitoring the public's response online etc to those sentiments to work out if it could be a viable potential strategy.
On that video I’d say less than 1 in 15 were wearing masks. 🤦🏻♂️

Yep. Trump’s favourite tactic is to “joke” about stuff and see what the reaction is on Twitter and at rallies.
If it’s bad he just says the liberal snowflakes in fake news can’t take a joke.

Having covid burn through trump supporters is clearly desirable and if they wear trump cheerleader crap all the time then it could be contained in that demograpic?
I don’t see many indications that the military will do differently.
Don’t be too sure about that, very high up figures in the US military have made it very clear that they won’t be dragged into Angry Tinkerbell’s fascist games.

As CountZero has already pointed out, the US military has made it very clear that their duty is to America and the constitution, not the President.
I think some sort of violence is quite likely, but some on here do seem to be actively wanting a ring side seat to some dystopian apocalypse.
On that note, there’s a documentary on Netflix at the minute called the Social Dilemma.
They interview mostly former/current techs for the likes of a Google/Facebook etc, one of them suggested that if things carry on as they are they’re expecting the US to descend into civil war as a result of tech companies business models driven by capturing attention by any means necessary.
I think some sort of violence is quite likely,
I think ample groundwork has been laid for the next president to be assassinated frankly. Theres been much commentary on how Biden is too old (despite being hardly any older than Trump and obviously healthier) but I doubt you could offer good odds on any democrat following trump to survive their term.
The situation was toxic enough in the run up to the last election - even with Clinton having the majority of the popular vote there was no way she was going to contest the result - Trump has painted crosshairs on her.

Interviews and investigations of members of extremist groups suggest more than half of them joined those groups because Facebook suggested it to them.
Yeah it is a problem you see with all social media: the algorithms identify your interests and suggest related stuff. That can be very helpful but can also quickly pull people down an ever-deepening rabbithole.
Their views get more and more extreme, but because they are surrounded by other people in the same rabbithole, those views are normalised and validated to the point that rational mainstream views seem extreme to them.
It's a driving force behind the rise of cults and conspiracies on the internet.
And the more extreme Trumpers could definitely be considered a cult (though same can be said for left wingers too!)
My God! Let's hope the Antifa people don't learn how to weaponize exploding trees.

Well, seems forestry may be a small factor - compared to climate change - but when you look at who is responsible for the forests.....🤦♂️

How they get to the edge of the rabbit hole is interesting too. How britain first got to be the most liked UK political Facebook page was down to them having a year or so of posts that were ‘like if you hate animal cruelty/cancer/domestic abuse’ or ‘like to show support for ‘our boys’/nhs workers’ etc which built an audience for the more colourful stuff. Not everyone stayed obviously, but enough did, and Facebook then starts suggesting other further right wing stuff, and down the hole you go.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46183690/blockquote >Ha, thanks for highlighting that. The trouble is that the only people who will be aware of that fact are the people who like to laugh / despair at Trump. These messages sadly don't get through to anyone likely to vote for him. It's maddening.

Too many words.
Trump: ‘Vuhrry vuhrry confusing. It’s simple. They want you to be confused. Nasty people/the Left don’t want us to solve these problems so they print fake news. But it’s vuhrry simple. They hate America.
Trumpist: (purring noise)
Trump: ‘They will not divide us. BUILD THAT WALL’
(endless purring, some gunfire)
The youtube "algorithm" is getting worse. The main problem for me is just a lack of variety of the stuff I am actually interested in, ie sport and outdoors activities. But actually click on anything political, even left wing content and I get swamped by right wing click bait "Shapiro destroys SJW" type bullshit. The past 2 days I have spent more time clearing some fruitloop american evangelistic MacArthur from my feed didn't have a clue who he was till I googled him (apparently some covid denier liberal conspiracy nut who runs a megachurch), and I don't have a clue how he could have been linked to anything I clicked on recently, so assume he pays to be pushed to everyone.
Finished the Cohen book now, started the Woodward one this morning. Getting a bit 'Trump'd out'.
This amused me. 'Support our troops!' with a pic of some MiGs and Russian's with AKs.

as we're talking Trump here, they didn't make a mistake..........
Ruth Bader Gingsburg died overnight and in an unsurprisng move Mitch McConnell has reveresed his position from the last election and is going to try and ram through Trumps new nominee
Ruth Bader Gingsburg died overnight
Oh bollocks. That's the seat they need to steal the election and stop counting mail-in votes.
I know she was a great women etc and I don't wanna get too tasteless but couldn't they've done a 'weekend at bernies' or at least not reported her death until November? It's not entirely unexpected so expect the GOP to move into gear with a preferred candidate. He /she's gonna be a proper piece of work
The youtube “algorithm” is getting worse.
Never click on a YouTube video suggested by them, create a list of subscribed channels.
When Antonin Scalia died in Feb 2016 Obama ignored the accepted convention in US politics that a new SC justice should not be nominated in an election.
He nominated Merrick Garland; mcconnell and his acolytes refused to put the nomination to a vote in the Senate.
They're saying there will definitely be a vote this time; many of those republicans are still in the Senate.
Here's an extract from a US article with quotes made at the time by various high profile republicans.
Hypocrisy will be rank this time around.
no one led the charge as stubbornly as McConnell:
But it wasn’t just McConnell. This was the default position at the time. Here’s what a not-comprehensive look at what 17 active Republican senators said.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.” (source)
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas):
“I believe the American people deserve to have a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice, and the best way to ensure that happens is to have the Senate consider a nomination made by the next President.
Confirming a new Supreme Court Justice during a presidential election year for a vacancy arising that same year is not common in our nation’s history; the last time it happened was in 1932. And it has been almost 130 years since a presidential election year nominee was confirmed for a vacancy arising the same year under divided government as we have today.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.” (source)
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election” (This was actually what he said in 2018, doubling down on his previous stance. )
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term — I would say that if it was a Republican president .” (source)
Is it wrong to want another human being to be murdered by some nutjob?
I actually would be very happy to see Trump assassinated. He's a ****ing hideous human being.
I don't regard trump as a human being so will shed no tears when he dies; can't happen soon enough.

I see your point,I really do, however it's a no from me.
We dont want this guy martyred. Let him design his own downfall.
