This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind.

Not sure how fond anyone here is of Tim Pool - I personally think he's about even on his hit/miss record - but I found this video today and I had so much catharsis.

"Mail in Voting BACKFIRES, Democrats Jump Ship In Panic As Mail Votes Get REJECTED In Large Numbers"

Also lol FuckYouTube put in a "Here's some context that'll frame the narrative the way we want it c:" marker above the title.
I enjoy watching Tim. He's okay, but a bit on the delusional side if he thinks anyone doesn't get he's a classical conservative and not a former-'berniebro'. lol I first saw him on Joe Rogan some years back. Let's see now, my playlist is something like: Tim Pool, X22Report, and MrObvious. Of course, there's always Mr. Jones who seems to get his show on YTube through other people 'stealthing' it in. Pure comedy! xD Also, I watch any videos about the streamers. ANY. I consider it all to be FUD to some extent. Like any broadcast news stuff. Just be careful and take loads of grains of salt. Of course, the 302s are being released... good reads those - if you like black bars protecting the villains.

Wow. Watching Pat and deadDMwalking spread FUD for Biden and the Democrat Party is like watching the theater audience clap for Tinkerbell to not die.
As usual, you're a fucking idiot who can't even read. I was questioning the narrative that Biden won the debate.

Clap louder for Tinkerbell,. Pat!!

To those of you who seem to think Gropey Joe is the answer to our prayers:

Sell me.

No, seriously. Put your salesman cap on and show me why this barely-cognizant zombie should get my vote. Particularly with the Democrat platform planks of 'repeal 2nd Amendment' and 'punish self defense'.

Trump hasn't been perfect -- hell, I snort at people who insist he's the BEST PRESIDENT EVAR -- but for a guy who keeps getting painted as 'the theoretical child of Sauron and Cruella deVille' (to quote OotS), he's not bad and he's hardly the monster people want him to be.

A shame. Part of me almost wishes he WAS that monster.

Obviously. They mayoral candidate has a foreign-sounding name, so he's clearly not guilty. And it's OK because they do it all the time in his native culture. And the Republicans are doing the same. And it's a Russian scam.

Greetings!

The Dan Bongino program is awesome! I regularly listen to the Dan Bongino program. Bongino is an experienced federal agent--he was in the Secret Service and before that had an extensive career with the New York Police Department. Bongino's analysis on politics and current events is generally far more valuable, insightful, accurate, and trustworthy than the majority of academics, politicians, and worthless fucking journalists out there in our society. He's a great guy. Straight shooting, and genuine. Bongino is intelligent and provides a lot of common sense, sharp analysis, and embraces excellent values. I highly recommend tuning in to the Dan Bongino program. I typically watch his program on You Tube.

Semper Fidelis,

At this point, it almost seems like someone is purposely trying to cause enough Chaos to invalidate the election, no matter who wins.

1. Give people a week to vote, with one guaranteed paid day off to any worker during that time.
2. Voter ID system, with the gov’t paying for it.
3. In-person voting with paper ballots only, or solicited mail ballots through an application process, provided voter rolls are proven accurate.
4. Official party and neutral 3rd party auditors.
5. LEO security of ballots.

What we have now is a fucking return to Boss Tweed days.  “Vote Early!, Vote Often!”

It’s a national disgrace.

I live in a 3rd world country, where voting is obligatory, and voter ID is required. It's seriously absurd to think that the United States couldn't have Voter ID work.

Voter ID is waaaaaaaaaycist!!!



It's quite obvious that any black Americans in Harlem who believe they actually have ID or know how to get an ID are suffering from delusions caused by the constant oppression from white supremacy.

There is literally no other explanation for this video.

I've to admit it's a mistery to me how in the USA the simple concept of "you need to be able to prove your identity to a police officer" is seen as somehow an attack of personal freedom.
In Italy, you're supposed to carry either the ID card or the driving license or the passport (all 3 are valid for identification purposes) on you at all times. So, of course, that also stands when you get to vote.

In fact, in Italy to vote you need both a way to prove your identity AND a second piece of paper called an "electoral certificate". This is basically a piece of paper with some data and a bunch of spaces in it, and every time you vote one of the squares gets stamped with a governmental rubber stamp. Once all the spaces are filled, you need to get yourself a new certificate. The certificate is issued by your municipality on request and basically proves you've the right to vote (which could be revoked for e.g. some types of felonies).

At this point the democrats are begging for a Starship Troopers (book) type voting thanks to all the chaos they are trying to sow.

So...Twatter suspended the account of the New York Post for exposing Biden's lies regarding the Ukraine debacle and Hunter's ties. Of course, Farcebook is making the story disappear as well.

What happens next might be quite interesting.

Back in the day, the NY Post was known for its tough, working class attitude and its "tabloid with facts" approach. I have no idea if anyone at TNYP has a nutsack anymore, but California's soycial media clowns may have fucked with the wrong people this time.

If America wants a future, we need the tech giants imprisoned.
