    Therefore it would be technically impossible to hack voting machines since the paper trail would not match up. Wishful thinking though."

    Yeah if you ask for a recount. The one the DNC never bothered with.

    The one thing I know in my heart and in my soul is these guys will fuck something up so badly that their own base will demand they be torn to shreds before these 4 years are up.

      I wish people would stop conceding even that about Elon. The guy is not some technical whiz at anything that I can discern.

      Does he even have a real degree?

      Virtually all of the self-created myth about Elon seems to be complete bullshit.

        There’s nothing special about starlink. They’re just big routers. And unless an election office is running off starlink, (they aren’t), there would be evidence all the way down the line to the ground terminal used to connect to starlink. Furthermore it would require well over 100 people from both parties and disparate social groups to keep a secret. Because it would absolutely be noticed. And the people whose job it is to notice it don’t stay quiet, it’s kind of their thing.

        You don’t understand they guy is an absolute genius, he’s on the factory floor every day, with a welding machine and soldering iron building all theses Tesla’s. He also wrote all the software himself so we have full self driving cars since 2015, they never crash! I just took a robo taxi this morning, it was kind of big and there where other people in it, but I didn’t have to drive or do anything, all thanks to Elon.

    It doesn’t fucking matter. He can splatter an infant against a tree like an old testament god and nothing will ever happen then either.

        I appreciate your effort but a person is smart people are dumb. OP is correct and not only that his smiting a baby will come with a chorus of applause. This only changes when the idiot masses wake up again but I fear WW3 has to happen first. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. This is the path we are on.

        Oh come on… Maybe in 2020 you could get away with this blind positivity but at this point you’re just denying reality.

        Keep track has existed pretty much since Trump first showed up, “we’ve” accomplished fuck-all. We did however elect a feckless piece of shit who picked another feckless piece of shit to run the DOJ and together they also accomplished fuck-all.

        Trump is going to get away with literally everything, as he already has, save for some state level civil b.s he can’t use the DOJ to make go away.

        Defeatist or blind positivity, none of it matters. We have no control. You can, as I have, and many others, shout from the rooftops of all the shit we’ve kept track of, but as long as fox news exists, as long as Elon keeps buying social media to control, we will have next to 0 impact getting people to realize.

        Honestly keeping with what I’ve just said, even this means nothing and has no real purpose. I think “keep track” just triggered me. It’s all useless.

          Maybe it’s worth keeping track of so when the dust all settles and it’s all over, someone has a real-time record of it.

          I basically agree with everything else you said though.

        Yeah. Trump and his supporters don’t matter. Take from them everything, and leave them with nothing but regret, fear, and pain.

    He can confess to multiple murders and show the bodies on stage and nothing will happen. The US “justice” system only applies to poor people.

      And Democrats. You’re going to see the DOJ move at light speed now. Moved at glacial pace with the previous administration but now that vindictive retaliation is on the menu they’re going to give Sonic a run for his money.

        Maybe, or maybe we’ll get a lot of firey talk, sternly worded letters, terse lunches, and frustrated phone calls from both sides.

        And then they’ll all meet on the green at 2pm and have a leisurely game of golf before going home to their mansions in their gated communities.

        And the media will jingle the next shiny thing for us to look at.

      He could rape and murder kids on stage and nothing would happen, and his supporters would dismiss it by saying that the kids deserved it. He’s a narcissistic psychopath, and he holds the nuclear codes.

      Good luck, America.

    “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

    Trump is so old he probably means human computers. They were still around when he was a young man. Right? He meant the people counting the votes, right? Heaven forbid he actually tried to monkey with the voting machines. Because that would be illegal, and totally unthinkable for someone with a stainless reputation like His Orangeness…

      Don’t assume there’s anything meaningful behind what he says. His algorithm is mind-numbingly simple: say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

      That’s all there is. There is no thought and no feeling. He has no more inner life than a cockroach.

        say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

        And that’s exactly how he gets away with all the stuff he does: people simply assume he’s talking crap, until they realize he wasn’t.

        Trump should not be allowed to say anything remotely controversial without meeting fact-checking and extreme resistance at each and every step. Either that’ll teach him to be careful with what he says, or he’ll eventually get caught incriminating himself. If people let him say any old thing because of the sheer volume of bullshit coming out of his piehole, he’s gonna keep getting away with everything.

    Some people may think that, but from the video it is not clear. He just mentions Elon knows computers very well. There will be enough real news with president Trump, we don’t need this kind of journalism.
