The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”

“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.

    If only Putin could tell him how to do it. If only they’d had a series of private conversations off the record with only Putins translator present, and a series of trips, and phone calls.

      Being edgy doesn’t help us plan. What are the actual mechanisms?

        You can just look that up, start with control over mail in ballots, what happened to the voting machines, that they’re now owned by a rightwong libertarian (hence rebranding to “liberty voting machines”) the findings on how the machines can be gamed during the calibration steps that happen everyday morning (if you’re in a blue state you can calibrate them to count dem votes as Republican). I suspect that’s what Trump meant when he said Musks tech rats helped him with the voting machines. Then there’s losing ballots ect… There’s a bunch of ways you can manipulate voting without exactly manipuating any single persons vote or voting experiences…

        …and you can also just load election related agencies with loyalists to bias monitoring.

        All of these things have news stories out there. Just google.

            Not a question of whether I’m wrong, these aren’t stories or claims I’m making they’re from news media over the years. I just paod attention.

            So you’re hoping the news media is wrong.
