the whole problem is knowingly spreading false info to vulnerable people

Key difference is that Trump was lucky to not face any major crisis except for the pandemic while Biden was unlucky encountering multiple no-win situations.  In Siena college survey, historians rank Trump 17th and Biden 34th in luck.  Luck is the only measure where Trump ranks higher.

New book by Pulitzer prize reporters expose myth of Trump as a good business man.   "Lucky loser: how Trump squandered his father's fortune and created the illusion of success."

Yep. 

Of course the uninformed have no knowledge of that.

So many examples of that in sports too where LUCK (either good or bad) played a major factor in a win.

Media matters report that fox (fake) news is in denial of reality. Rejecting data showing a reduction of violent crime, record energy production, falling inflation and fewer illegal crossings under Biden administration.  Instead fox news promote bogus migrant crime narrative. Dismissing fact that climate change is driving up costs of insurance, food and other things.

 ABSOLUTELY!   FOX NEWS follows the playbook of the CONVICTED FELON: 

if the facts don't support extraordinary efforts to publicly smear opponents then

IGNORE THE REAL FACTS and JUST MAKE UP SHIT!!

JD Vance has adopted that trump policy too!

Polls show 70% of republicans and 16% of democrats believe voting fraud is a problem.  Republican national committee is laying the ground work to challenge potential election losses despite no evidence of widespread fraud in 2020 election.   So far, 120 lawsuits in 26 states to challenge election processes.  For examples, restricting voter registration. mail voting and voters list.   Legal experts say republican aim is to sow doubts about system legitimacy so that they can cry foul when they lose.  Uncertainty could give local officials opportunity to interfere with outcomes.  For example, refusal to certify fair election results.  Apparently, republicans know they cannot win without lying and cheating.

Precisely!

And they are extremely likely to do just that!

The hope is that if they can create enough of a block to certify a Harris victory over the CONVICTED FELON then the process will swing over to the HOUSE to declare a winner by their votes... So that way, the pop vote loser/electoral loser can usurp the majority votes against him and be declared the winner by the republicans in Congress.

In general, economists disagree with Vance's claim that immigration is a major cause of unaffordable housing.   The biggest factor is housing shortage from insufficient new construction for years.  So biggest remedy is to boost supply of affordable housing.  That means more construction.  But deporting millions of immigrants could worsen housing shortage because 1 of 3 workers in construction industry are immigrants.  Harris plan includes financial incentives for construction of rental housing and starter homes.  Also subsidies for first time home buyers and working families.

The Baltimore bridge collapsed six construction victims were all immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico who were working to support their families. 

Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes: 35 years old

Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera: 26 years old

Maynor Yasir Suazo Sandoval: 38 years old

Carlos Daniel Hern¨¢ndez Estrella: One of the victims

Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez: 49 years old

Jos¨¦ Mynor L¨®pez: 37 years old and the main provider for his family of three children* 

*Google search: AI Overview

Polls show most republicans believe there is anti-conservative censorship in social media.  But this conspiracy theory is baseless according to research from Stern center for human rights.  Actually, social media platforms through algorithms are more likely to amplify right wing content.  Since misinformation and hate speech are global threats, social media companies are under pressure to moderate contents.  Far right extremists are more likely to be censored because they share more misinformation and hate speech.  Political imbalance in enforcement doesn't imply anti-conservative bias by social media.

Kremlin confirms Trump is lying!

He did send Russia Covid-19 tests, after [the racist, rapist, fraud, FELON] publicly denied Bob Woodward claim

  Outlet supporting a convicted felon
- the Gateway Pundit - now admits:
'There was no widespread voter fraud'

RS -
The editor of a website that singled out two Georgia
election workers and baselessly accused them of
manipulating ballots in the 2020 election
has now admitted the entire story was FALSE!

Jim Hoft ¨C founder of far-right website Gateway Pundit ¡ª
posted a mea culpa to his site in which he admitted
that there was no truth to his claim that Fulton County,
Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss
did anything illegal in the election, the Guardian reported Saturday.

This is despite Gateway Pundit first amplifying the false claim,
which eventually was picked up by [the convicted felon's]
personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani.

Watching a Johnny Depp movie with the grand children and bingo having a weird flash of a right-wing version of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, with Trump as Wonka and lots of MAGA-loompas¡­Amazing!

Disturbing that Trump prioritized the health of Putin over that of Americans. Sending covid testing equipment that is hard to obtain and desperately needed in pandemic that killed over one million Americans. So much for "America first" under Trump administration. Public health official Rick Blight warns that more Americans could become sick if Trump is elected.

Oddly, republicans pretend to protect election integrity while actually working to undermine democracy.  Many Trump supporters have been indicted in election interference cases.  For examples, Trump, Giuliani, Bobb, Epshteyn, Meadows, Eastman, Roman, Chesebro, Powell, Clark, fake electors and others.  Despite no evidence, Trump falsely accuses democrats of trying to steal elections.

@thirdperson

 I do not think that the TNC scheme is made to protect the election process, I would strongly suggest that the scheme is to protect the narrative. If you want to forward a fraud/stolen/cheated narrative that Trump clings to then the wacked out extremist way that the TNC attacks the process is critical to keep the whole farce in place.

Down here in AZ it is bizarro TNC world, people are on a witch hunt to crucify anyone who is not on board with the scheme, even if that person is a GOP registered citizen. I watched this series about the Maricopa Recorder and the way that the offensive extremist vice chair hunted him down and threatened him because he did not support the steal  agenda. He was elected in 2020 and had to come on board during the Maricopa witch hunt from the TNC and he refused to go along with the agenda and said he would not lie to protect his own party agenda, even though it ended up costing him his job. The vice chair attacked this guy and made it her mission to make sure he was not re-elected and yet the GOP elected recorder did not join the TNC scheme but was voted out of the primary from the GOP and will not be in the position after the end of the year.

Trump does not care about the sanctity of the process, he cares about forwarding the scheme and protecting the ability to continue the scheme in the future.

very disturbing 

and naturally he rump lied about that too 

I thought these frauds filed for bankruptcy resulting from their lies

CNN fact check reveals probably the most misleading ad from Trump campaign.  Claiming that Harris would increase taxes but omitting key words "for the richest Americans."  Also ad presents a made-up statistic of $2850 increase for family tax bill supposedly from Tax foundation.

@thirdperson

rump and his maga cult seem to believe that misinformation ,disinformation , and telling lies is so much more effective at persuading gullible fools than speaking the truth with facts

Jan. 6 MAGA rioter
who assaulted police
admits she was duped
by Donald Trump lies   

NBC NEWS -

WASHINGTON ¡ª A Donald Trump supporter who stormed the Capitol and assaulted law enforcement officers  says she was "duped" by the former president's lies about the 2020 election.

Dana Jean Bell was sentenced to 17 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly on Thursday.

In Pennsylvania, billionaire racist Elon Musk,
who has endorsed Trump and put $75 million
into supporting the pro-fascist campaign,
also baselessly suggested that Dominion voting
machines were rigged and attacked mail-in voting.

(Musk himself has voted by mail in multiple elections.)

@fubah2

 billionaire racist Elon Musk

Justice department warns Musk that his sweepstakes may violate election law banning payment to people to register to vote.  European union warns of sanctions if Musk fails to moderate disinformation and hate speech on social media X.  Musk has already been fined in Brazil.  According to Science feedback, Musk or X is the biggest promoter of online misinformation.  Reliable information is the foundation of a functioning democracy.  But on the internet, lies spread fast while truth slowly emerges over time.
