You have assumed people are thinking logically.  That all disappeared when blogs and other disinformation sources targeted the minds of adult children.

For example, Sinclair broadcasting long required their TV stations to read editorials from their ring wing corporate officers.  They now order all 185 TV stations to report, on the local news, any story written (invented) in the corporate office.  Even if intentionally false.   One report, read word for word by all Sinclair broadcasting stations, said Biden soiled himself in a political rally.   Does not matter if false.  That is all quite legal now that people will automatically believe whatever makes them angry or empowered.  The target market is adults who are still children.  And it works quite well.

A man brags that he can kill someone on Fifth Ave.  Is proven in court to have raped women.  Has cheated on every wife.  Trades them in for a new model about every ten years (notice Melanie is no longer seen). Lies repeatedly.  Covets thy neighbor's goods.  Has defaulted on loans to every major bank.  Insults and demeans people - routinely.  Demonstrates racism and misogyny.  Is loved by the KKK, White Supremacists, and Nazis because he promotes hate.  Never goes to church.  Loves despots such as Putin and Kim. Even believes them over Americans.  Has stated contempt for democracy.  Brags how he never pays taxes.  Routinely defaulted on payments to contractors.  And is admired by evangelical Christians?  For doing what would otherwise get him excommunicated from any church.

How dumb must one be to become a brainwashed disciple of a religion?  They cannot even see he is their anti-Christ?  That is the power that brainwashing has over adults who are still children.  Who let religion replace all logical thought.

Disinformation is not only legal.  It is appreciated by the most religious.  Who intetionally ignore Ten Commandments when ordered to by their religion.

That doesn’t seem likely unless there’s an underlying outside influence. With the prohibition of political intervention provided by the Johnson Amendment (passed in 1954) to the US tax code, the government’s main concern was unaccounted money being put into political action via religious organizations. Removing their tax exempt status would let everyone know that the religious organization, which doesn’t have to report its income, was questionable as it could be taking money from other domestic or foreign special interests groups (including criminal elements) to illegally influence elections. It was to keep churches from becoming unregulated super PACs. Churches that become politically active without straying financially aren’t really on the IRS’s radar since the technology for monitoring that has improved dramatically and too many legal challenges can be made around equity in application without an underlying outside influence.

 

"My beautiful Christians"

Thankfully that whole voting thing will be behind us.
 

Donald Trump What a fucking idiot.

The video above is all I needed to hear that Donald Trump, is an idiot, and if you don't see that. I won't say what I want to.

A notable development in national security, former congresswoman, previous presidential candidate, current National Guard Lieutenant Colonel and Iraq War veteran Tulsi Gabbard says she's been placed on the "Quiet Skies" terrorist watch list for flying. From what I gather, she inquired about herself and immediate family members being subjected to increased TSA security screening measures. Sky Marshals Service whistleblowers purportedly informed her she was added to the list.

Tulsi Gabbard noted the action quickly followed a televised interview in which she heavily criticized Kamala Harris and admonished against Harris as president. Gabbard believes it to be political retaliation. Members of Congress are questioning the TSA. It'll be interesting to see whether or not she was targeted: if so, was there justification and (either way) at what level the decision was made.  

Oh, she wasn't criticizing Bruce Springsteen.

(President Barack Obama said about Springsteen: I'm the president, but he's the boss.) 

Maybe it’s a reference to the Obama-Springsteen collaboration and Springsteen, who sang Streets of Philadelphia for the movie Philadelphia, selling his music catalogue to Sony for $500 million.

That’s all I got.

The boss owned Philadelphia.  With sold out concerts in the big stadium.  Apparently constant news reports from the so many reporters - Springsteen fans - don't get out of Philly.
 

Tushi Gabbard, a former Democrat, has now endorsed Trump.
I wonder why? (rhetorical):

Vance is continuing to throw fuel on the anti-immigrant fire.Targeting the underdogs won't play out well for him. This is America after all. They could have a nuanced conversation about numbers and costs but Maga prefers open racism.

“If the path to prosperity was flooding your nation with low-wage immigrants, then Springfield, Ohio, would be the most prosperous country- the most prosperous city in the world,” Vance said in a CNBC appearance yesterday. “America would be the most prosperous country in the world, because Kamala Harris has flooded the country with 25 million illegal aliens.”

“Which makes me wonder, what country does J.D. Vance think is the most prosperous country in the world, since he doesn’t think it’s America?” Buttigieg retorted on CNN later the same day. “And also, does he really think that immigration has nothing to do with American prosperity?”
