He may have been practicing for his ICE interview... gaining experience and sharpening up that Resume.

"CBS News is fact-checking President Trump's speech on election security Thursday night, in which he raised new allegations regarding China's access to U.S. voter data and claimed that the "deep state" in the U.S. intelligence community sought to "actively suppress and downplay" China's actions.

He also made accusations about voter registration fraud in the U.S.

Here are some of the claims and CBS News' ratings and context for Mr. Trump's statements:"

"No credible intelligence has emerged showing that the vote count in 2020 was manipulated by foreign actors.

Repeated audits and reviews -- manyrun by Republicans, including Trump's own then-attorney general -- have found no significant fraud occurred in 2020.

He did not raise doubts about his election wins in 2016 or 2024."

- its always "no relevance", "no major affect" ... why does this matter?

In 20 years, perhaps the most assinine assertion ever posited here.

Amazing, really.

"No public evidence exists showing that China rigged or altered vote tallies in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. During a prime-time national address on July 16, 2026, President Donald Trump revisited his long-standing claims about the 2020 election.

He announced the declassification of intelligence reports alleging that China accessed 220 million U.S. voter records and engaged in a broad influence campaign against him. (Wall Street Journal)

However, U.S. intelligence agencies, cybersecurity experts, and independent reviews provide consistent information on several key points:

No Vote Tallies Were Altered: Independent assessments confirm that neither China nor any other foreign entity modified ballots, manipulated voting infrastructure, or altered final vote counts.

Data Access Does Not Equal Rigging: While declassified intelligence suggests Chinese intelligence analyzed or accessed public or semi-private U.S. voter registration logs for public opinion analysis, cybersecurity experts clarify that accessing voter records does not give an adversary the ability to manipulate actual vote tallies. (CBS NEWS)

Distinction Between Influence and Technical Interference:

Intelligence officials draw a clear line between influence operations"such as public messaging or social media disinformation campaigns"and technical interference.

While there was a minor dissenting view within the intelligence community that China utilized social media to denigrate Trump's campaign, all agencies agree that no technical infrastructure or tabulation was compromised. (The New York Times)

According to reports from CBS News and The Wall Street Journal, the newly declassified material highlights China's ongoing cyber capabilities and intent to monitor U.S. politics, but it does not support claims that the election outcome was fraudulent or rigged." (CBS NEWS)

There is no relevent new evidence that China worked against him in that Election.

You are merely simping and pimping for they Cult you pretend not to belong to.

Worse, you only belong to it because it's your only way to strike out at liberals and progressives who dare to disagree with your asinine, fallacy-filled assertions about... well, about everything.

Truly pathetic.

'speech' and I use the term loosely, video:

- like Biden did.

From the World's Most Dependable Source of Logically Fallacies; the Whataboutism.

Not an argument at all, but a charge of supposed hypocracy by or for someone else.

So, a waste of space.

James Talarico on Morning Joe | Full Interview

Jul 16, 2026

"The first words out of my mouth when I launched this campaign back in September of last year was that the real fight in this country is not left vs right, it's top versus bottom.

My party talks about turning Texas blue. The Republican Party talks about keeping Texas red. I honestly think the best color for Texas is purple. I think she would look great in purple because we have to end one party rule."

"Iran: Trump's Inner Circle Focusing on PERSONAL Profit, not Peace.
Thom Hartmann Program"

All he's going to do is lie.... including about how China cost him the 2020 Election, or was it Dems? Even though all his own experts at the time, and now, say that neither of theose things ever happened.

It's funny how Fundies Know THE Truth, whether they are theists or atheists.

Of course, we don't really know what gravity or dark matter or even our own conciouness is, but we damn sure know that!

#108 should be more concerned about removing the, "plank" (or log) from their own eye before attempting to remove a "splinter" (or speck) from someone else's.

Just sayin'.

There are many liberals who follow JC's teachings naturally without being Christians much better than some self-proclaimed people with many fewer such traits.

In many cases, they're called Cultural Christians for that reason; 2000 years of a Culture that was pretty much the direct opposite of the Greco-Roman Brutal Oligarchy Culture having weathered our modern culture across much of the world.

Before Chrisitanity, it was normal behaviour in the Roman Empire and elsewhere that a father could legally tell his wife to leave any and or all female children outside to die of exposure, a very common practice.

On the one hand atheists won't judge you
one the other hand atheists call you stupid
F atheists (you said it, not me!)

There are weak-minded, self-serving fools on all sides.

Reporting is that that's what a whole lot of Republicans who are trying to keep their cushy Congress jobs are asking... Why talk about this rather than push back on the economy or even the war?

Which answer is likely that DJT doesn't want to talk about those thing; not with his Base Only popularity polling.

He's not going win back swing voters with these well-proven LIES about the 2020 Election.

But he's a Drama Queen Extroidinaire, and riling up the Base is all he's really good at. I mean, telling the Truth at this point is pointless.

- Only took me 2 seconds

BJ's Cult reccomends that he not listen to anyone but his Lard God Trump.

- there are Christians who are believing Trump has had divine protection.

There are rwing prosperity gospel faux-Christians, mostly white nationalist evangels, who put a, 'Faith Office' in the WH, ffs!

Who are part of what is very like what the NT descibes as the Falling Away of the Church from JC and towards a vile, evil leader of the most powerful country on earth, and who loves gold, makes PT Barmum look like a modest person, puts his name on everything, and is the catalyst for a world war starting in the ME.

Now, that might not be Trump, so maybe he's just vile and evil, but that; his known history of crime and corruption and unpatriotic, illegal Election Interference... should be enough for any actual moral, ethical, law-abiding person to refuse to support him, muchless anyone who thinks they might be a Christian in any real way.

Wherein he again lies about China interferring in the 2020 Election (thought he loved him some Xi!)

... also immigrants, blacks, women, and Democrats interferring with actual votes by... actually voteing!

This Preview lays out the facts about HIS OWN PEOPLE, the DOJ, the AG Bill Barr and SO many others quoted at the time, some under Oath, that there was NO EVIDENCE at all of any significant voter fraud.

I keep BJ, Visitor, thebullsh, msgt and others around for laughs and the amazement of such thick skulls.

also there's this:

THIS is what happens when you invite a Hill William to dinner... he shows up in overalls, and then steals the silverware.

In January Trump encouraged the Iranian people to rise up... and that we would come to their aide if they did.

Instead, he sat on his tiny hands while 40,000 of them were killed.

Why MAGA Cult Attracts Weak Men with Big Trucks

Previous vice presidents and senior administration officials traditionally told the Secret Service of travel plans days in advance, especially regarding their families. But one unnamed agent told MS NOW that the Vances "change everything."

"They don't stick to their schedules, and that costs ---- tons of taxpayer money," the agent said.

"The detail is tired of them not giving notice on things and making everything an OTR," an unnamed source told MS NOW. "He [Vance] thinks he can still move around like a U.S. senator."

Agents have made coins and badges mocking Vance's last-minute travel demands, incorporating the vice president's secret service name, Bobcat.

The coins and stickers have a picture of a Bobcat's head with the words "Bobcat OTR Survivors Club." The logo includes the motto, "Advance. OTR. Repeat."

Aw, well. The Heir to the Throne gets to be as prissy as the Demander in Chief!

Agreeing, but saying something is not going to happen because whatever reason including risk or efffort is rather self-serving pessimism don't you think?

What it actually is is a form of cognitive bias:

This is a brief video today from Konstantin Samoilov, a former nuclear plant builder from Russia, who became a dissodent and left after Putin invaded Ukraine.

I've been subbed to his channel since then, and know him not to be a liar about anything.
