Yeah especially after our Navy seal team blew up the Nord Stream pipeline (worst act of environmental terrorism in human history) and then ludicrously tried to claim Putin did it himself.
In 2013, at age 44, I didn't know crap about English football or the history of Swansea City. At that point, my only football concerns were the USA and Polish national teams. But for whatever reason, probably it's expansion on NBC TV, I started to look at the Premier League, if not follow it.
Right away, Swansea City just jumped out. The fact there were two little Welsh clubs going against Man U and Chelsea and Pool was intriguing, but it didn't take long to figure out that the club I liked wasn't the blue option.
My early days I remember are as being a casual observer more than a fanatic. The 2-0 win over Cardiff at a time the Swans were really struggling was the first point where a Swans loss would have ruined my day.
I was pretty psyched for the start of the next season, at Old Trafford. By the end of that match, I was all in.
By the next season, I had convinced my partner that we needed to go to Wales to watch some "soccer," which we did over the holidays (vs West Brom, @Palace, @ManU), and that experience bound me for life.
Other time I saw the club play was on the preseason trip to North Carolina/Virginia, which honestly was pretty lame. Awful memory, as I met Jason Levien and bought into his bullshit. But my support and my love of this club hasn't waivered a damned bit from that day in August 2014, when KSY and Gilfy made me believe in God.
I've lost track of how many times I've thought of Siggy in recent years. And it's always when we line up a free kick within 35 yards of the other goal.
I've already said how I know for a fact it was rigged.
Sure, there's a million allegations of actual voter fraud, and even a movie (2000 Mules) that I haven't seen but apparently is quite interesting. But stuff like that can always be brushed off as hoaxes. Video can be manipulated or taken out of context, etc.
So why talk about stuff like that, when the other side doesn't even try to deny the truth about the rigging done by the FBI and Anthony Blinken's 51.
And as for the consequences of this proven election rigging, let's even say, for argument's sake, that 90% of those 17% of Biden voters were lying when they said they wouldn't have voted for him. Perhaps 90% of them were already having buyer's remorse knowing what a disaster they had elected. Fat chance of that, though, since the poll was taken in early 2021. But let's entertain it anyway...
If 1.7% of Biden's voters in every state simply did not vote, that changes the outcomes in:
Arizona Pennsylvania Georgia Wisconsin Nevada
And Trump wins the electoral college in similar fashion to 2016.
Rigged elections certainly have consequences. 400K people might still be alive in Ukraine, for starters.
And "knowingly false claims" is part of the narrative about "what Trump definitely did."
And he definitely told everyone that day to "make their voices known, peacefully and patriotically."
Which is about as un-insurrectionist as language can get nowadays about political opponents, especially compared to the corrupt evil that is laser-focused on stopping the people from having their say in November.
Just out of curiosity...if Trump isn't popular abroad because his policy is "America first," you are obviously implying that any alternative to Trump is better because it WOULDN'T put America first.
So why does it then also baffle and flabbergast so many on this thread how Trump still has American supporters?
The FBI coerced social media (Twitter and Facebook) to censor anyone from talking about the Hunter Biden laptop information in the weeks before the election, using the lie that it was Russian disinformation (something they knew was a lie, because they HAD the laptop).
And Anthony Blinken (working for the Biden campaign) personally organized the "51 intelligence experts" to also claim that it was Russian disinformation.
These two things aren't conspiracy theories. They are documented facts that nobody even denies.
And while it doesn't matter whether their efforts worked or not in order to be considered "election rigging," one poll shows that 17% of Biden's voters would NOT have voted for him, had they known that the laptop was real.
Had it been Trump who weaponized the FBI and "intelligence experts" to censor and squash a potentially election-turning story in the weeks before the vote, Congress would have impreached him for it immediately. And, for once, with good reason.
But the really bizarre conclusion to this Nord Stream embargo tale is the fact that Biden IMMEDIATELY rescinded it all in Jan 21, and I believe Nord Stream construction began again weeks if not days after his inauguration.
Nobody batted an eye.
Because of course, the hideous orange guy everyone said was Putin's Puppet for the last 4 years was gone. So why worry about the possibility the new POTUS whose family is getting millions from Russians closely connected to Putin because.......zzzzz.
Notice your biased articles featuring all the gaslighting from Trump haters like Bolton never mention one word about the sanctions Trump placed on Russia?
And how those sanctions held up construction of Nord Stream (a VITAL cog in the Russian economy) for years?
Nope. Because even though it's a key point in the discussion, really it's THE key point, it doesn't fit the narrative.
The propaganda is only going to get even more fierce as the polls get even better for Trump and reality sets in.
Which makes me really worried about the massive violence that will follow Trump's victory. Practically everyone who doesn't already hate Trump can see right though the propaganda media by now, so they aren't winning over new converts. But what they ARE doing is radicalizing their base, and all the blood will be on their hands.
Ok, here we go again. What has Trump ever done for Putin that makes you think he's his puppet?
I'm not going to rehash everything about the sanctions Trump placed on Russia (which - again - Biden immediately ended when he was installed as POTUS), but I'm curious if there's anything beyond pure ignorance that allows people to hold on to that fully debunked talking point.
Interacting with people who still believe Trump is Putin's puppet feels like I'm talking to grown adults who still believe in Santa Claus.
That's a fair argument, and no doubt while we a diverse group of free thinkers, some MAGA supporters will knee-jerk support a side simply because our adversaries support the other side.
Just not to the degree of Democrats, who only suddenly thought preventing illegal immigration was horrible and evil simply because it's one of Trump's top calling cards. Democrats like Bernie Sanders, who once was (as a true socialist) very vocal about how illegal immigration hurt lower-income Americans, before he had to suddenly forget he ever believed that because "Orange Man Bad."
Due to the corruption in Ukraine, it's hard for me to get too heavily behind either side, but I'm certainly not on Putin's. We've sent them over $200 billion now, and we need some auditing done as apparently much of it has ended up in some very deep, very corrupt pockets.
Again, I don't waste time worrying about the tabloid tactics people with severe Trump Derangement Syndrome sink to when their attempts at a substantive argument all blow up in their faces.
When you have children all along the USA's open southern border being sold into slavery, things fall into perspective pretty easily.
Speaking of which, add to my earlier list of people who desperately don't want to see Trump return to the White House in January:
* The Chinese Communist Party * Iran * Putin * Human Traffickers and Drug Cartel Leaders Getting Rich at the Open Southern Border
"Fraud" - as determined by a New York prosecutor who wants you to believe Mar A Lago is worth only $18 million. Even though much smaller vacant parcels nearby are worth five times that.
Sorry to see people ignorantly fall for this nonsense. It'll take the SCOTUS about 5 seconds to overturn it, in any case.
