I-Voted-2020.jpg


I voted 2020! Now time to personally hand my ballot over to an election official.
The person on the wrong side is often the one doing the name-calling.

Posting a picture of a completed ballot is illegal in some states.

If you mean the previous President then that's easy ... universal health care.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



I think if Gene Roddenberry were alive today he would be thrilled that the USA chose to design a logo that resembles his creation. It's the US Space Force and not "Trump's Space Force". Can't help haters gonna hate, but the agency is here to stay.
You're a Trump supporter who likes Obamacare?
 
I wonder what is going to happen with Biden now?

Are they going to shut things down at 9:00 AM every day now and only play prerecorded and virtual things for him moving forward?

They obviously don't want anyone asking him to confirm he has been caught in another lie. Which would force him to either double down and make things worse for if/when more things are released. Or what I believe is more the case, they are afraid at what he will say if he becomes unhinged or starts to loose focus on key items, and he comes of as crazy/losing his mind - which occurs easily.

Neither Biden or his son Hunter have has said these emails are not real, neither have said that the meeting did not occur.

The furthest they will go is to allow someone on behalf of Biden claim it was not on his schedule that day. They won't go any further than that.

It's about as damning as an admission at this point for Biden and his son given what has been shared so far, as can be.

I can't wait to see what is coming next.
 
Make no mistake, the insignia, flight path around the insignia, text border, three distinct star sizes, and the largest star appearing in the top left quadrant were clearly lifted from the Starfleet design. Whether we frame it as "inspiration for the final design" or "ripped off" -- a copycat is still a copycat. ;)

You also wrongly assumed that I was against the Space Force, which indicates questionable judgement on your part. I'd also appreciate it if you'd keep your childish personal attacks to yourself. You do realize that the Starfleet photo was intended as a joke, correct? Your bitter responses seem totally random and you say I'm the one with TDS?

In my defense, I'm an Independent, which means I actively choose which candidate I support. Gregory-samba, you have no concept of what that's like because your candidate is automatically chosen for you. So don't tell me about my biases until you get yours fixed first.

You're mistaken in the fact that I'm accusing you of having TDS. It was a general statement to indicate that anything Trump is for the Liberals are against. It wasn't also meant as an attack as realizing certain people suffer from TDS is more of an observation. However, your dislike of the logo did seem to indicate you weren't in agreement with the similarities, which is odd because you claim to approve of the Space Force in general. I don't think they ripped anything off from Star Trek and I'm sure if Gene Roddenberry were alive today he'd not only approve of it, but feel grateful as he was a real patriot and wouldn't side with the Liberals on this issue.

What emails? Is it about Biden's quid pro quo in official Government negotiations (Burisma) to get his son a job? If that's the case Biden already admitted guilt to that on live TV. Biden braged about the quid pro quo in an interview that surface during the hoax Impeachment trial of Trump.

EDIT: I'm all for starting the impeachment of Biden as soon as he wins. It's now precedent to impeach a President because your side can't deal with the fact they lost. If you think I'm being sarcastic I'm not. We should start a campaign to impeach Biden the second he wins. I'm already creating promotional material for a local non-profit that is moving in that direction. Hopefully we can impeach the crook the second he takes office. Hey, there's precedent now, nothing wrong with it, right? Impeachment as a political tool is now the norm.

GS, there is one specific email that was uncovered that proves Biden lied in the past about this. I can find the details later. - Also don't lose hope, wasn't Hilary also considerably out raising Trump in 2016 with money? I don't think it means anything.

Wonder if this means more things are coming soon.

I haven't lost hope for the USA, but I've lost hope on these forums. Gbatemp is full of liberal idiots and the only thing liberals know how to do is take and destroy. It's sort of suiting that a liberal population would hover around a page dedicated to stealing Nintendo games. The thing is if these liberals get into power they will destroy the USA as every town will turn into a cesspool of drugs, crime, pollution and perversion just like San Francisco. Their model is one of failure and hopefully they don't get into power, but if they do expect Chicago level crime to overtake the entire country.

This will be my last post. It's not healthy to keep visiting a page that is full of people trying to make you feel like shit and only want to take from others who work hard and participate in perversions. So I'm out. Peace.
 
I disagree with you with a lot of subjects.
But it's healthy to leave when it starts to affect you that much.
Take care.
 
So conservatives are going ape shit over what seems like a fake email and a supposed pulled of a hard drive.
First red flag within this story (which seemed to originated from NY post)
Was the computer was just "dropped off" with no pay or anything... and it took until now, when it was claimed that it was dropped off in 2019? that doesn't make sense. Trump would be all over it, why is the story just breaking now?
But it was recovered without pay?
Also can we just take a moment at the email?
I'm not aware of any ukrainian people who just put ".ukraine@gmail" at the end
It's almost if this was perhaps made up. Google doesn't require you to put your location at the end. If they did, well, my email would have United States at the end.
Another questionable aspect is the "recording"
Computers don't just save recordings when ever. You have to tell it to record... Which is kinda like as if, the recording is made up. Especially given that it's only talked about, when you know. You could of posted the video of the damning evidence? rather than speaking about it?





I've worked in computer repair. The only time you make a copy of a hard drive, is at the very beginning of the recovery process to make sure if any mistakes occur on the main drive, it gets fixed. But after the device is fixed. you then end up deleting the backup of the drive and start working on another computer. So the idea the guy made a backup there and then? When he should of done it before the process? And even then still questionable that he is holding this copy illegally, and then the fact that the video evidence has yet to surface combined with the email feeling like one of those oldest scam tricks in the book.
This entire thing is beyond questionable

I was thinking it was illegal to take a camera into the polls, but I couldn't remember. Also, I can't believe you smooth brained dunces are still hung up on this hoax. It's moved from being funny to just sad. I mean, you're not gonna convince anyone here otherwise, either, so regurgitating bullshit propaganda just to stroke yourselves isn't doing anything for your cause.

You mean what you've been doing this entire time? Go start you a Trazodone regiment, buddy. I hear it greatly helps one ween themselves off of copium. I'm also still having a hard time understanding why you think liberals are the only people on the left. Your ignorance is just mind blowing. You indeed have drank entirely too much kool-aid. So yes, please recede to wherever you dwell so you can keep living in fear of the liberals and Jews like the cockroach you are. Like I said, you conservatives are such fragile snowflakes. You can sling shit but you sure can't take it.

Yeah GS, I would say don't take it so personally. I would also say don't go.

As you probably see and realize there are very few of us on either side that care to comment or get involved in debating things like this on this forum. I believe the majority here don't care enough to debate it. But I bet many lurk and do read these threads. So there is a chance someone (from either side) will see a point that they had not considered previously.

I usually lurk.

I agree that there is a chance they could destroy this country but that is only if they have control at a house/senate level. There are still checks and balances until that changes.

Polls and dollars generated do not directly equate to end result. 2016 is an example of that.

And it's not done until it is done. It's getting interesting now :)

I am actually now seeing a heck of a lot more discussion surrounding how big tech is complicit in certain things. This whole hunter biden laptop hard drive has painted a very clear double standard with both certain liberal media outlets ignorning, and social media censoring. That even people that don't pay attention to this kind of stuff are now talking about.

I think it will all work itself out in the end.

A bunch (and we have not even seen the rest) of real pictures of Hunter Biden that no one else has have come to light, along with emails (again more that we have not seen yet) and you want to think they are fake?

So the pics are real, but the emails are not? I am curious what is left that is coming next.

LOL

And coupled with the fact that neither Joe or Hunter will deny this, and his campaign will ONLY commit to claiming it was not on his schedule so it did not happen.

This is not some far fetched conspiracy, and we can see what the peoples reactions are. I get other what ifs, but removing those for what it is, there are a few things that Joe/Hunter could do to help stop this, which they are NOT doing.

I also think this brings up other valid point that plenty of people are discussing right now. There are numerous things that are blasted by the media as being true and social media for Trump that are wrong and no one steps in to stop those on either platforms.

Social media should not be censoring things like this.

If something is fake, it's fake. Occam's razor tends apply more often than not. When the writing is blatantly on the wall before you, there isn't always a hidden message behind it from the boogeyman. What gets me more is that you who align to the right seem to have this fear fetish. You all choose to live in so much fear that it controls you and impedes your ability to think rationally and critically. And hypothetically, if it is true, who the hell cares about someone smoking crack? He's not running for president. Our current president is performing so many crimes against humanity for everyone to see, and yet that's somehow fine. Why do you think I called Trump supporters white supremacists? If you weren't one, you'd find his actions against minorities abhorrent and deserving of being penalized by the law. You'd say "yeah, this guy is bad for our society as a whole", but instead you're all cowards who can't say what you really think; "YEAH, WE HATE BROWN PEOPLE, TOO". There's no room for you in this day and age, and unfortunately for you, the people on the left are the majority. Conservatism is going to die. If you don't like it, you can always get out. I know you like saying that to the other side. We all know you don't have the stones to do that, though, so just spread them butt cheeks for us because we're about settle in and get comfortable.

No seems plausible. Store owner alerted FBI, FBI took laptop in December, store owner of course made a copy once he snooped on content, then went to - edit Guliani. Timing is because of the elections.

Stupidity happens.

Also the doxed Hunter Bidens private email

Rebuttlle on the democratic side also is telling: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bi...port-suggesting-then-vp-met-with-burisma-exec

not to mention it takes a damn warrant by the fbi/police to seize evidence or it cant be used in any legal proceedings 4th amendment also if the guy truely did this he's done something illegal himself not only is it unlawful entry into a computer system at that point but also blackmail

Which is illegal. There was a lawsuit against Apple recently because there were store employees stealing photos off of customers' iPhones brought in for repair and putting them on the internet. They'd also note the owner's phone number so they could spam them with nudes and other forms of harassment. As a repair shop owner, you're not allowed to dig through somebody's personal property just because they never returned for it. I'm quite convinced the whole story is a lie, though, considering said shop owner is a far-right conspiracy theorist who has made his boner for Trump very public. This whole thing just reeks of confirmation bias.

Yes, but the story is bigger. National interest - almost... ;) Store owner is not necessarily a journalist, neither is Giuliani, so legaly - you could sue, but that would keep the story in the media for longer, so you dont sue. :)

Main point imho is though, that 'brokering access to a politician' is not a crime. Its what lobbyists do all day. Children of 'figures of importance' get invented jobs all the time, as part of corporations corruption efforts (Siemens famously had an entire department for that.. ;)). Somewhere in the corrupt politicians thread there should be an internal statement of afair deutsche bank on 'how to conquer/enter a foreign market'. And those methods definitely are in there.

But - this doesnt prove corruption on Bidens part. Just, maybe, Insincerity to 'guard' his sons image.
This also is a smear campaign, because they released 'drugged up Hunter had fuckvideo on laptop', which as a non yellow press paper you dont do (not of relevance to the bigger story).
And the entire BS about 'in the end it turns out that Russia was them' in the latest Trump speech is still insanity. Ukraine is not Russia. Biden acted on behalf of Western interests in the Ukraine.
And this is not related to China, which Trump also said it definitely was.. ;)

Idiocy galore. ;)

But who would sue in the first place? The laptop doesn't belong to the Bidens. Supposedly whoever dropped it off was anonymous, which is another red flag. Like, any asshole with enough time and know how can forge emails and spoof their originating location provided the domain chosen doesn't use DKIM keys. Say this site doesn't use them. I can easily use PHP to send an email with an @gbatemp.net address without ever being registered on the server. Malware operators do this all the time to send spam and phishing emails. Photoshop also exists, and we already know that that's used to create false imagery to sell ideas and products. In all honesty, this just feels like a repeat of 2016 and Hillary's emails. They weren't successful there, so might as well try it again since they literally can't find anything else that could make Biden look worse than Trump. This is propaganda, and nothing more.

Story goes, that it belongs to Hunter Biden, who the repair was billed to:
https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/

(See page two of court docs - referencing the receipt.)

Of course it could be made up - but it had nice incriminating detail (about the stickers on the laptop), and it would be a grave risk to make something like this up. You then could definitely sue the newspaper for liable. Which on a story like this, would potentially ruin them. Will see what happens after the election... ;)

Smearing someone with those kinds of allegations, and 'we have a sex video with you, drugged up' in it, you kinda - only do, when you have - something. Of course at this level of play, the sex video could have been provided by a third party, the emails could still be forged - and then you better not sue, because the public will talk about your sex video for the duration of the lawsuit.. :)

Yeah, it's definitely slanderous. But like I said, even if this is true, how does this even compare to the monstrosities the Trump administration has committed? He knew Russians were paying Middle Eastern combatants to take out hits on US soldiers and didn't even warn them. He knew COVID was going to be a massive problem, still hasn't enacted a national plan to combat it, and has lied and downplayed it the entire way while the population of the country loses everything and dies. ICE is sterilizing and euthanizing imprisoned immigrants. He also used ICE to body snatch protesters in Portland. The middle class has now joined the lower class thanks to massive tax increases. People with pre-existing conditions can't be covered by insurance. He suggested we start nuking hurricanes to stop them. He went on TV to say COVID's no big deal after he paid $0 for his treatment (which included using aborted fetal tissue, but boy he sure hates abortion), all the while hundreds of thousands have died from it. When the lockdowns began, the citizens got a measly $1,200 while the airlines and Wall Street received billions, which did absolutely nothing to prevent them from tanking. I'm sorry, but Trump is the definition of evil, and this isn't an exaggeration or "ORANGE MAN BAD DURRR". And this "fuck you, I got mine" mentality that exists within our society has got to go away if we ever plan to survive in something other than squalor.

Stickers on the laptop is a great detail, btw. - if anyone has a photo of Hunter Biden working on his laptop in that timeframe, denying ownership publicly would be very hard. :) Of course sticker could have been aquired elsewhere, same with a photo of Hunters laptop at the time, same with Hunters sex tape... But how you make the public believe that is a different question. :)

Circumstancial evidence is just too juicy. :) Bidens Campaign does good not to push back. :)

Is it worse than what Trump did? If thats all thats surfacing, no. ;) What Hunter allegedly did wasnt even a crime (apart from the drug use ;) ). Biden probably didnt lie under oath either... ;) So its a non story. Smear campaign. But oh so juicy.. ;)

Bigger question is 'abuse of power' in the ukraine persecutor case? But details probably are confidential, and that would be more interesting for the Ukraine than for the US. US very likely doesnt care to release them at all..

Relations with the leadership of Ukraine still very good, just remember, they smeared them with a billion USD credit line.. ;)

Well, sensationalism drives most people's thoughts because they're too 1-dimensional to go "hold up, maybe I should question this and who it's coming from". You create a sensational headline and you can push any agenda you want.
