A lot of his typos/misspellings seem like puns. Ogurisama posted... What if it was proven that it was rigged but Trump was unaware of a third party rigging it in his favor? Couldn't happen because the counts are done with. However, if rigging was found at all during the recounts, the rigged votes would be removed (if they were added) or, if it was changing votes, they might be able to fix it. If they couldn't, it's possible they'd need to redo the thing for certain districts. ParanoidObsessive posted... Duck-I-Says posted... At worst people were swayed by foreign propaganda disturbingly easily which I guess might be worse To be fair, in most elections the vast majority of voters are being swayed by domestic propaganda disturbingly easily. Is it really that much worse if people are believing lies coming from another country as opposed to the lies they're being fed in their own home? Most voters are incredibly ill-informed, and have no real interest or desire in educating themselves. Until that problem is addressed in some way, where the lies are coming from is almost immaterial. Plus in every election, foreign powers try to influence US voters and the US consistently tries to influence foreign voters. In Russia's case, there's no way of knowing what they were actually trying to do because there wasn't much rhyme or reason to the ads they bought -- other than to incense the public -- and they pretty handed over anti-Trump info in that dossier. Honestly, the initial CIA conclusion -- that Russia was just fucking with us in retaliation for Hillary trying to undermine their vote -- might be the case. wah_wah_wah posted... "I don't have the evidence but I know for sure that the election wasn't rigged" - posters We know that it wasn't rigged (by Russia, anyway) because the US government has tight controls over the system -- which is why they ridiculed the idea it could be rigged in Hillary's favor (even if she turned around and claimed it was rigged to favor Trump) -- and we subsequently ran a recount which found no evidence of rigging either. After a certain point of having a conspiracy theory which keeps getting disproved, you have to give up the theory or just be crazy. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:889342622] in So what ha...
