    I wonder what the odds are that he’s lying, based on the tens of thousands of previous times he’s lied? I know what a Bayesian would say.

    So… the guy who has lied and continues to lie about 21 times a day, far more than any other president…

    Even though he doesn’t deserve it, if we gave him the benefit of the doubt, he has actual proof of such serious accusations, right? Waiting for it…

    While it won’t solve the systemic problem of sheer evil and complete idiocy in the Republican Party, I cannot wait until this asshole is dead and gone just so I no longer have to see, read about, or hear the ugly gasbag anymore.

    Here’s hoping for that well-earned and exceedingly painful deadly heart attack to arrive soon.

      Agreed on both counts.

      While Trump is an especially malignant tumor rather than the underlying cancer, a tumor can still itself kill you if not excised in time.

    Who still remembers 6th January 2021.

    His speech is another dog whistle to mage cult and supporting media.
    A dog whistle to those who are willing to destroy what America is supposed to represent in exchange for power and the biggest grift in history.

    World leaders should be watching very closely and think about doing deals with the tyrant’s administration

    Up next is probably trump getting mad we’re ignoring his unfounded conspiracy rants and using abusing the cell phone Presidential Alert system that we’re not allowed to opt-out to shove it in our faces against our will.

      This is part of the current Republican modus operandi.

      Start by accusing your opponents of false crimes. This excites their base and fills the media landscape with “that didn’t happen” language.

      Next, you explicitly commit the crimes that you falsely accused your opponents of. Claim it’s not happening, but if it were, it would be justified because the other side did it already (which they didn’t), then re-use the same “that didn’t happen” language your opponents originally crafted. Now an ignorant public isn’t sure who to believe.

      And it’s working.

      Make no mistake: this is the biggest sign of any that Republicans are going to attempt a wide variety of election tampering, voter suppression and voter fraud tactics to tip the balance of the November (2026) election.

      And it doesn’t have to be wide scale: they just need to disrupt a few urban districts in highly contested states. Any crimes they commit won’t be addressed until after the elections are over. See Musk’s million-dollar voter bribes recently maybe being considered illegal: big deal, the fascists already won and have deployed goons into the streets to deport and murder people.

      Get your cameras ready.

      It has never been truer than with this group of people.

      As a rule I bet it has a 100% hit rate. To the extent that it seems like they havent done every single thing they’ve accused the other side of, it’s only be they either don’t have the ability yet or it hasn’t been discovered yet.

      Accusation in a mirror, a propaganda and hate speech technique.

      These people for sure studied how such propaganda works. And if you listen closely, the patterns of speech give it away. I have seen it used in the Brexit debate, and it already smelled like Fascism to me.

    70-80% of what he said were things we already knew about, tried to fix, and got blocked by republican stone walling in previous administrations. None of what was true dealt with actual vote tampering but interfering with people’s opinions and who they voted for.

    If he really declassified serious documents, then he knows that. Especially because independent studies from peer-reviewed third parties dropped those reports pretty consistently. It’s just been a decade of non-stop bullshit so it’s hard to remember, but he didn’t say anything we didn’t already know, and actual voting was never the problem.
