The Donald vs Big Tech

[Kurt Cocaine]

Yep, needed a few smoke bombs and firecrackers I thought.

At the very least! Zuckerberg should have made the most of the video call possibilities and had this image displaying behind him:

I really enjoy watching them. Talk about being out of your depth.  An awful waste of everyone's time.

Obviously there are issues that need to be addressed with these large tech companies but the republicans in the senate are just upset that they can't spread lies and misinformation. And if they could control these platforms and the information shared on them they would be only delighted. They'd love us all to believe in Hunter Biden's laptop and that Donald won the election.

But I love how they often descend into tech support with silly questions from Cruz, Graham and others about their emails and search results!

There was one a couple of years ago, Steve King asking Google's Pichai :

King: "I have a seven-year-old granddaughter who picked up her phone during the election, and she's playing a little game, the kind of game a kid would play, And up on there pops a picture of her grandfather. And I'm not going to say into the record what kind of language was used around that picture of her grandfather, but I'd ask you: how does that show up on a seven-year-old's iPhone, who's playing a kid's game?"

Pichai: "Congressman, the iPhone is made by a different company. And so, you know, I mean..."

King: "It might have been an Android. It's just, it was a hand-me-down of some kind"

Pichai: "You know, I'm happy to follow up when I understand the specifics"

A line I've often had to use in work!

When you have state officials admitting on the news that fraud to some degree will be discovered , you can't but blame the Trump camp.

Link?

It was on a Tim Pool video, I'll have a look later.

"We are going to find that people did illegally vote. There are going to be double voters. There are going to be people who did not have the qualifications of a registered voter to vote in this state. That will be found. Is it 10,353? Unlikely."

Whoever one might prefer in the race there the whole thing is pathetic. Use fucking paper votes and have them vote in person. Problem solved. Load of bollix the whole lot of it. If someone can't leave the house, have a ballot box brought round to their house with observers from both sides. The fact that the result is even in the slightest way disputable (and no matter who lost it would have been disputed) is actually ridiculous.

Mail in voting has been used for ages in the USA. Between 2000 and 2012 there was 491 cases of fraud in mail in voting out of billions of votes. And it works brilliantly. Just cause Trump cast doubts on it does not mean it is now working. It means he's a sore loser.

It leaves every future election open to dispute. When you have state officials admitting on the news that fraud to some degree will be discovered , you can't but blame the Trump camp. Pollsters have lost all credibility too, and not just in the presidential election. Several republican candidates crushed the opposing democrat despite polls predicting their defeat.

It does not leave future elections open to dispute. They haven't identified any voter fraud that's outside the normal tiny percentage of fraud. 22 court cases brought so far. 21 dismissed and 1 successful that affected a tiny number of votes. Can I blame the Trump camp. Defo. They lost convincingly but the cry baby won't concede.

[Caomhaoin]

Who hasn't identified any voter fraud? You? You claimed that guy Fleccas' claims were debunked but didn't actually explain how. I believe that Biden probably did win the election, but there is quite a stretch to claim that no fraud has been detected.

Here's a snippet from TC

Jesus Christ lad you are so unbelievably biased it's gas. I love Trump, love the man, but there's little doubt he got fewer electoral votes than Biden. That doesn't mean the dark arts weren't being practiced to ensure the result.

[Blizzard Beast]

What's going on here, are you arguing with yourself  ^

[Caomhaoin]

No. I don't think the fraudulent voting turned the election in favour of Biden, it seems as though he would have won anyway. Nevertheless, there was quite a bit of dodgy carry-on to ensure that Trump would not win.

I actually said in my post theres always a tiny miniscule bit of voter fraud. In every election. I never said there was no fraud. What I'm saying is it is normal, it's not new in any way and it's been screamed by a cry baby who has no evidence of the widespread fraud he is suggesting.

[Kurt Cocaine]

Biden may have gotten more votes than Obama but  most of those votes weren't for him. They were for who he wasn't.. 
Great record that....

Yup, four years of it!
(Sorry, but that was an open goal... )

This is, unsurprisingly, total horseshit. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Tucker Carlson (lol!) because this was posted on the 6th November, but you posting it today? Every single point raised in it has been investigated and rejected, such as why in certain mailed in votes hadn't been counted ahead of time, etc.

Plus, "Don't Let the Ruling Class Get Away With It!" on Rupert Murdoch's Fox News? Bahahaha! The guy is responsible for more propaganda than probably any single person in the history of humanity!

[Caomhaoin]

Whatever TC said on the 6th of November, or any other date for that matter, was right then, and it's right now.

And the open goal analogy...I don't need to tell you what we used to do to teams who came down from Wicklow to play hurling challenge matches against us or any other school in Kilkenny, let alone from the Gaelscoil!
