The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[Katman]

Is that actually a fact, or fake news in itself? because it sure seems like the latter.

Have you even bothered to look into it or are you just guessing?

Let's find out, post your evidence backed findings to show it is true and correct news, rather than the proliferation of fake news so common in these anti-govt echo chambers. Unless you didn't bother to look into it yourself, and are just parroting back more echo chamber drivel that you want to hear. My guess, is of course the latter.

If you're not bothered to look into it yourself, that's your business.

If you're not bothered to justify the stories you promote as fact, that's how fake news takes hold and becomes a problem. This particular item has some parts of truth to it, but has been taken out of context, and there is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that over half a billion dollars to a British PR company to produce fake terror videos. The weak minded believe it though, since it is repeated on many fake news sites, but also links to sites and sources with the true parts in it, to add the appearance of validity to the fabricated conclusions.

Dude, I'm well aware that no amount of 'evidence' will sway you once you've made up your mind.

Eggforbrains.

That's the sort of cop out we've come to expect from fake news proponents. You know on some level the story is fake, so must avoid any reasoned discourse into its validity at all costs. Early on it's obviously blame the reader for being ignorant and expect them to waste time verifying it (or be conned by the frequency of its reposts), next is generally insults and bullying, then finally it'll be off to the next bit of fake news.

Katman, go sit in the corner with Yokel, you've both posted enough fake news drivel this week.

[Katman]

....next is generally insults and bullying.....

You're extremely thin-skinned, aren't you?

[bogan]

You're extremely thin-skinned, aren't you?

Just bored of your false facts and other bullshit. I'm not quite sure why you pick out the bits of my posts identifying your propensity for insults instead of robust discussion as some sort of, well, who the fuck knows, or cares...

[Grumph]

Meanwhile, back in verifiable news....I see Trump is proposing welfare cuts and raising the retirement age.

One of his campaign promises was no cuts but better management with less waste.
This from a guy who pays no tax.....

Interesting too that many people are up in arms about the possibility of Russian interference in the election campaign - conveniently forgetting the American interference that helped get Boris Yeltsin re-elected back in 1996.

If I was Edward Snowden I'd be getting nervous. Donald Trump and Putin seem to be in each other's pockets - for the moment anyway.

Also I read today that Ivanka Trump's company was trading with Iran all through the sanctions period. Of course that could be fake news? It does fit the family pattern though, whereby conventions or laws don't matter as long as the Trumps make money.

Funny, all theough the election Trump was saying "the election is rigged, folks, its rigged" but now evidence points to it being rigged he's "nah, that ridiculous"

[Brian d marge]

Just wait .. see what he does...

sent for a divine source

It is difficult to tell what's fake news and what's not. Virtually everything Trump says is a lie. His latest utterances that the CIA claims of Russian hacking are ridiculous, that the Republican party wasn't hacked, and that you can't tell after the fact who the attackers were, are all false.

The FBI told the Republican party back in June that some of their emails had been hacked and that there was a national investigation underway. Kevin Mitnick says, take it from someone who knows, hacking can be tracked afterward.

The "electors", the actual people who vote in the electoral college, are requesting a CIA briefing on the hacking prior to casting their vote. Some of the electors are bound to vote how their state voted, others can change their vote; with or without penalty

A Democrat party funder is attempting to launch prosecutions against Trump, Giuliani, Comey, and others for treason.

It's all entertaining now but it may get scary sooner rather than later.

It makes you wonder why the CIA haven't managed to provide any actual proof to back up their allegations.

But I'm sure their word is good enough for bogan though.

'Cos there's no way that the CIA would ever be guilty of fake news. No way.

Right bogan?
