They are paying the $100 for signing a petition, not voting.
Isn't the petition a sort of get out the vote movement though? (hoping to get out the vote for Voldamorange implying he is the only one who supports the first and second amendment)

It's such an obvious figleaf, though. I wonder if that sort of thing holds up legally.

It's not even a plausible fiction. A campaign where signers are paid to endorse a particular opinion has no value as an opinion set, which is what a petition purports to be.

At yesterday’s rally in PA, Trump spent time talking about the size of Arnold Palmer’s penis. I’ll just leave at that.

Kamala Harris overturning roe v wade was the worst thing to ever happen to this country. Trump tried so hard to defend it with his Supreme Court but couldn’t stop the rigged deep state DEI operatives embedded as the minority from voting early and often to overturn this critical protection for women.

It’s not only unfunny but irresponsible in a time when AI trolls the internet to build its language model. But for some spreading disinformation is the whole point.

I don't think they're trolling. I think they're just being sarcastic in light of Trump's constant attempts to reframe the abortion issue as something he actually fixed. If I recall correctly, waiting is pretty anti-trump.

No one made that claim, just to be clear.

Zarathud was speaking to AI bots that scour the internet for their language model - who would take the text that waitingtoconnect posted and echo it.

Some media outlets are FINALLY reporting on DonOld's mental decline. Too little, too late? Perhaps, but nice to see just weeks before the election. (October) suprise!

Oooohhhhhh...you mean LAME stream media.

I don't see any mention of this on Fox News. I do see an opinion piece entitled "How Big Do You Think Trump's Penis Is? 13 Inches or Bigger?"

It's poking through a bit, but not getting nearly the heavy coverage that Biden would get for saying "billion" instead of "million". It's improvement, but there's a long way to go.

Clearly I was being sarcastic before. I am very much an anti trump conservative.

Although I am conservative I am not pro-life. Real conservatives believe with rights come responsiblites. The reason we don’t have a Bill of Responsibilities to go with the Bill of Rights is because some truths are supposed to be self evident. Abortion is something between a woman and her doctor. But Trump and his cronies have blamed Kamala and Biden for all this nonsense he inflicted on us all.

I’d much rather be debating about real freedoms with you all. Such as the freedom to strap your dog and its kennel to the roof of your Dodge Colt wagon (with wood paneling) and going on a cross country drive.

So, did he work the fry machine at the McDonald's in PA yesterday because he couldn't let go of the idea that Kamala Harris worked at a McDonalds while going to college?

I just need him to coast across Election Day, lose bigly, and then fully experience the medical crisis he's clearly in right now.

I want him to lose bigly enough that no Republican ever wants to emulate him.

After that? I don't care what happens to him.

I appreciate that McDonald's is being pro active in giving convicted felons a second chance, but I think it's unfair that it's an unpaid temp job. They should also wait until after he serves his sentence.

Yeah, I was trying to imply that he may be free of the virus - but he's still a carrier - if he frames it as "I'm not pro-life."

It was a Enlarge Image moment.

I have found meidas touch to be heavily, heavily anti-trump, and more than willing to take a splotch on his tie to announce his pending involuntary admittance to a psychiatric hospital.

My point is meidas seems to get the facts right, but their opinion on what those facts mean are incredibly biased and goal oriented.

All true. It was the only place I saw citing media finally acknowledging DonOld's decline. Of course the media just want a story, and with Joe out of the picture this is what they are left with. I think up until now they were soft peddling DonOld "just in case" he got elected (though he has already stated publicly he will rip their faces off). Now that a Harris victory is on the horizon they want to belatedly join the winning team.

Meidas is a left-wing equivalent to a site like Daily Wire. Wildly biased and plays fast and loose with facts.

I tend to agree with their opinions (because it usually falls along the same lines as my own) but I don't put much stock in any "reporting" they do.
