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.
That's certainly correct. I think Zarathud knows that too.

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

Re: Trump 2024 Campaign - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
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.

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 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.

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.GreenGoo wrote: Tue Oct 22, 2024 11:26 amI 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.Jaymann wrote: Mon Oct 21, 2024 4:18 pm Some media outlets are FINALLY reporting on DonOld's mental decline.

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.
