Speaking of the whole 'election rigged' thing that Trump is pushing, a lot of people evidently (and unsurprisingly) believe it: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/poll-41-percent-of-voters-say-the-election-could-be-stolen-from-trump-229871

I have no idea how that compares to previous years. Probably wasn't even asked in previous years.

A lot of people think there is some fraud going on in elections.

Probably because... yeah it keeps happening. The only solace is that so far the cheating hasn't won anyone an election.
It keeps happening in the same way that people keep getting struck by lightning. Which is to say, so rare that we don't talk about having a "lightning problem".

Uhuh, is it going to be CNN ? Or maybe ABC or MSNBC right ? You people are being willingly ignorant and it's sad.

If the source wasn't from a 'known huckster', maybe I'd pay attention....

Everyone here loved wikileaks when they were releashing shit on the Bushes and TPP. Now you're all saying they're a russian propaganda tool. How can you people engage in such mental gymnastics ?

Hey, guess what, organizations change. Back then, they were actually doing what they claimed they were founded to do. Now, they're willingly working with the Russians, the very people they claimed to work against so long ago, in an attempt to influence our election because Assange happens to have a huge grudge against Clinton. If there's anyone here engaging in mental gymnastics, it's you and your attempts to claw hypocrisy out of nothingness.

Also back then they weren't conducting a political campaign during election season seeking to discredit a candidate by manipulating stolen information.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Clearly all the emails are fabricated by Putin to get Trump elected because Russia is oh so scared by Nato and America. Do you even have any sort of proof that Assange is conected with the russians considering he's been FUCKING SEALED IN THE ECUADORIAN EMBASSY FOR SIX YEARS BECAUSE OF YOUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT ?
Furthermore, I love how you bastards call Trump supporters conspiracy nuts, and when the Republican HQ gets burnt down you all imediately assume it's a false flag by Republicans. I'm done with this thread and I am going to laugh so hard when you fucking brainwashed idiots lose. It happened with Brexit, it will happen with this.

... well, it's nice when a living embodiment of lacking self-awareness stops by, I guess. Have fun doing whatever it is you do.

I'm pretty sure he isn't hermetically sealed with no access to ANYTHING, do you REALLY think that he has had absolutely no access to telephone or internet for six years?

  • Use of phrase "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight" in attempt to sound superior
  • Strawman argument
  • Ad hominem attack
  • Characterisation of disagreeing parties as united block even though two of them despise each other on a molecular level.
  • Treating floated theories as dogma
  • Brexit in the Ameripol thread
  • "I'm done with this thread"

It isn't THAT uncommon... But usually it is like... an extra 100 votes or something.

Cheating of any sort of scale is pretty difficult to do.

Also he's been hiding in that embassy for 6 years because he doesn't want to face a rape charge in Sweden. I haven't seen any evidence of US involvement in that.

Oddly enough, the average for lightning fatalities is around 40-50 a year in the US, with the strikes themselves having around a 9-10% chance to kill. So a hundred extra votes would actually be substantially less common than people getting struck by lightning :V

I took a look at his profile for no particular reason and his timezone is anywhere BUT the US. Not to mention saying his saying 'your' rather than 'our' government.

Simply making an observation here.

Also, it wasn't THE republican HQ, it was an office in NC.
