The PM I sent you? In order to avoid embarrassing you further in public, I detailed another distortion/reading failure over what was written in a post. You clutched your pearls over someone


I think we both know why you switched to PM. Because you were flipping out, misreading others while accusing others of being unable to read, and making a general fool of yourself for everyone to see. Please show me where I said "PhDs never misread anything". Of course I never said anything of the kind. I have been criticizing others with PhD, in my papers and elsewhere, so that whole thing is just empty words again. BTW it's very interesting which parts of my posts you don't want to quote.

I just got my PhD a few minutes ago. I wrote it myself in crayon. Damn though, that Helvetica font they use sure is hard to emulate by hand! I also had it undersigned by the homeless guy down the street who swears he's Henry Kissinger - I have no proof NOT to believe him! He put real LATIN on it as well: Veni, vidi, ego venit iterum

FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/mi-sec-state-official-caught-video-telling-volunteers-count-multiple-ballots-signature-audit-votes-antrim-county/
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/breaking-antrim-co-forensic-report-bombshell-reveals-dominion-machines-set-68-05-error-ratemeaning-68-05-ballots-sent-mass-adjudication-giving-individuals-ma/
THE REPORT:
After the forensic examination of 16 Dominion Voting machines in Antrim, Co., MI, Allied Security Operations Group has concluded that the Dominion Voting machines were assigned a 68.05% error rate. DePerno explained that when ballots are put through the machine, a whopping 68.05% error rate means that 68.05% of the ballots are sent for bulk adjudication, which means they collect the ballots in a folder. "The ballots are sent somewhere where people in another location can change the vote," DePerno explained. The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is 1 in 250,000 ballots or .0008%. Following the  findings by Mr. DePerno and his team of IT experts, a "risk-limited audit" was ordered by Sec. of State Benson. Constitutional Attorney Matt DePerno was invited to observe the "risk-limiting audit" of Antrim County's vote that took place yesterday in the Kearney Twp. hall in Bellaire, MI., where 6 officials from the Secretary of State continuously walked around the room observing and correcting the counters who dared to stray from their objectives.
--------
Mr. DePerno, who acted as an observer to the "risk-limited audit," doesn't agree with Ms. Benson about the integrity of Michigan's election and has provided us with video and photographic evidence to prove that he was again able to debunk her statement about the "most secure election in our nation's history." The first video provided by Matthew DePerno shows a bin of ballots from Mancelona Township, Precinct #1. The bin was delivered to three of the 20 bi-partisan volunteers that included several Antrim Co. city clerks who agreed to assist with the "risk-limited audit." Inside the bin, tabulated ballots were mixed in with ballots that were never tabulated, and several blank ballots were mixed in as well. Mr. DePerno referred to the bin of ballots as "an absolute mess!" On December 16, we reported about photographs taken at Mancelona Township's Precinct #1 on November 27, 2020, that showed both of the security seals on the Dominion Voting machine were missing.

The second video was taken at a table where ballots were being counted in Helena Twp. The volunteers can be seen questioning why there were fewer ballots in the bin than the original number that was recorded in the previous recount? Shortly after asking the question, a male SOS official approached the table with a bag marked "spoiled ballots" and told them to count them. ATtorney Matt DePerno witnessed the unidentified male SOS rep pulling the "spoiled ballot bag out of the bin and delivering it to the volunteers who were "auditing" the ballots. DePerno also witnessed the SOS official telling them to add the "spoiled ballots" to the count.

The third video was taken at a table where the ballots from Central Lake Twp. were being counted. In the video, a male counter can be seen questioning "multiple ballots with the same signature." According to Matthew DePerno, 138 ballots had write-in-votes where the penmanship was exactly the same. In the video below, the SOS official can be seen demanding that the counters ignore what they believe is voter fraud and count the ballots. At no point does the SOS official assure them that the issue of the multiple potentially fraudulent ballots will be addressed, but instead demands that they count them as if they were all legitimate ballots.

I actually agree with this one. Would not be surprised if we hear more from Trump's ranting and raving than from Biden over the next few years. :D

I'm positive that those of us who supported Trump will get over it at least as quickly as the people who opposed him did back in 2016.  ;)

You chose your path with obvious conviction, no good whining about it now.  :)

Encouraged people to behave safely and responsibly?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/21/president-trump-urges-americans-to-wear-masks-to-prevent-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus.html

This probably belongs in the covid thread rather than election commentary, but I think it's pretty obvious that Trump and Trump supporters have been downplaying the virus, while Democrats have been playing up the virus. Regardless of who is right, that has been the general pattern. The covid thread on this forum started back in May - it has a good sampling of the contrast.

Ratman, it's interesting that you cite "Trump urges wearing masks" as an example of encouraging people to behave safely and responsibly. There was indeed a point where Trump urged Americans to wear masks in July. However, it hasn't been a consistent message, as evidenced by Trump supporters here in this forum often opposing mask-wearing. Again, regardless of whether who is correct or not. The opponents here to mask-wearing are saying that it is safe and responsible to *not* wear a mask. But your example is just highlighting the inconsistency of the message.

If you believe the media, Trumps most consistent messaging was to drink bleach.

Luckily no one here was stupid enough to believe that.

Yeah that was another massive facepalm moment from the media. Of course Trump being Trump didn't phrase it anywhere near clarity (antiviral drug cocktail would not be something I ever expect him to say)
I think it started with a poorly phrased "can we use some sort of disinfectant internally?" ->"OMG Trump says we should all experiment with drinking bleach, true story!"

Mistwell

He was referring to light therapy:

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you're totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you're going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"

He continued.

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that, so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we'll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That's pretty powerful."

Seriously that was unbelievable.  The headline should have been POTUS TRUMP SAYS SOMETHING DUMB, DENIES IT NEXT DAY.  END OF STORY. Instead we get 6 months of medical experts coming on TV to discuss the dangers of internal use of household cleaners.
