I would exercise caution at this stage until further investigation is conducted

Even if this is a true and accurate report it doesn’t matter. You’re relying on private companies to do investigations when you should have an independent electoral board that runs this shit.

We’re watching the collapse of an empire in real time. Will be a fun few decades I think.

(Edit: also, this article is so loaded with eye rolling commentary - like are we really using tweets from Elon as evidence of election fraud? Jesus Christ it sounds like Dem political conspiracy theories. The entire world just did another collective cringe)

He would have 1st account of rigging it. After all, he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers

Trump says a lot of shit.

So did Gore, with physical ballots to prove it.

There was a recording of Trump talking about how certain states voting systems were “on track”. It was pretty obvious he was talking about rigging the electronic voting.

Where did that go now?

According to New York Times reporting, on October 5—just before Starlink’s DTC activation—Musk texted a confidant:

“I’m feeling more optimistic after tonight. Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.”

Then, an hour later:

“This isn’t something on the chessboard, so they’ll be quite surprised. ‘Lasers’ from space.”

I'm more skeptical of this than dumbass repubs were who latched onto a narrative that fit their desires. I actually want a lot of proof. I won't consider this to be serious until there are multiple corroborations by sources that I recognize and trust. None of them will be the MyPillow crackhead.

What's missing from this report is that Peter thiel bought the parent company that owns pro v and v. The article mentions musk but nothing about this.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

I think by this point, anyone who has the ability to see anomalies in numbers easily isn't surprised.

The real problem becomes: "now what?"

The only remaining thing I can think of that would peacefully work is a general strike. Make the billionaires suffer as we have.

We ought to leverage it when these wingnuts get something right. MTG and Tucker on war has been all over the front page today. Noted dipshit Mike Lindell just got his ass handed to him in a defamation suit but promises he 'will not stop talking until we don’t have voting machines in this country.' I'm OK with this. These machines are bullshit, any software guy will tell you that. XKCD has told us that.

"Even more shocking: Donald Trump received 750,000 more votes than Republican Senate candidates in these districts." WTF!?!? I recall Krasnov saying he did not need the Pennsylvania votes to win. I'm certain there are people in the NSA, CIA and FBI that know exactly WTF happened.

I wanted her to win so desperately, but these headlines just hurt honestly.

I guess maybe if there was irrefutable evidence that she won it might restore a tiny bit of my faith in humanity.

... but Trump is supreme leader eternal now, and any day now WW3 is going to start. "Who actually won" isn't very important.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The truth is always important.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Is it though? In a practical sense? I don't think it's going to change anyone's day to day.

Ww3 started when russia invaded ukraine It's a slow one this time.

[–] TheSlad 3 points 1 week ago

I feel this too. War looks so different these days, but with all the bullshit going on with israel too, its hard to argue that we aren't already in the early stages of a truly global conflict.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Supreme leader eternal? There's a better than even chance that he strokes out sometime in the next 43 months. He deliberately sabotages anyone who could take his place, so there's no viable heir to hold MAGA together once he's gone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's a reference to dictatorships where whatever leader remains so in perpetuity even after death. I can't remember for sure but I suspect this is the case in DPRK.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It would restore some of my faith that my fellow Americans don't suck as much as I currently think they do. Y'know, before we all get rounded up to die in camps together.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

And nothing will come of it.

So many propagandists in this thread.

Congrats mods and admins, you lost the bot war
