Crime Russian influence campaign, yup all those right wing grifting dorks!

NH is pretty far from Pennsylvania the closes battleground state. In the area don't make sense.

Buddy, you've made a point of contention that is comically trivial. Who the fuck cares if the campaign in NH? Is that a problem for you?

 

[Islam Imamate]

you asked how many people were basing their vote on what either said. I believe there are a lot of stupid people that will just as likely ask Alexa why they should vote for Kamala or Trump as listen to Tim Pool

I believe you're refusing to tell the truth as you see it because you know its inconvenient for your argument, no serious person really believes that Amazon Alexa is just as likely to influence the way someone votes as political commentators with millions of subscribers and views.

 

[AWilder]

Oh... are you willing to take an account bet? You get Kamala, I get Trump, loser abandons their account.

You see, I've made that type of bet before. I doubt you have. So... who's the pussy?

But you won't take this bet? So manly...

NEW YORK -- In a stunning and unexpected move to stop Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from shipping busloads of asylum seekers to New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies used by the Lone Star State.

He wants the bus companies to reimburse the city for the hundreds of millions of dollars it's cost to shelter them.

"New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the cost of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas, alone," Adams said.

Mayor Eric Adams sues 17 charter bus companies for $700 million for transporting asylum seekers to NYC

The last straw for the mayor was apparently Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to send buses to New Jersey train stations connecting to New York City to thwart an executive order.

In a sharp escalation over the migrant crisis, Mayor Eric Adams claimed in stark terms that New York City was being destroyed by an influx of 110,000 asylum seekers from the southern border and said that he did not see a way to fix the issue.

But the mayor’s comments on Wednesday were his most ominous yet. He pointed to new projections that the city’s budget gap could grow to nearly $12 billion — the same amount that city officials estimate that the migrants could cost the city over three years.

In provocative remarks at a town hall meeting, Mayor Eric Adams said that he did not “see an ending” to the migrant crisis and renewed his push for federal help.

You see, it wasnt a national problem when Texas and border cities were dealing with it. But now that shifts expensive and NYC needs billions of dollars to pay for it.

Why do you support human trafficking?

It's also algorithms. There was a study done about right wing TikTok and it only took a few clicks on certain types of fairly mundane content to end up with right wing extremism in your feed.

Yeah, I don't use TikTok, but it doesn't take much time on here for my youtube feed to be full of American politics, a lot of which I find abhorrent.
I do remember seeing how polarised and insulated internet consumption was, especially for the American right-wing.

Are you denying that Russia is trying to covertly influence our discourse despite the indictment in the OP?

Russia, China, even Israel all do this

To what extent is always arguable. But when it's suits your politics, one will always be able to prepare a narrative with it. We've known about the Russian hacker farms for many years, but the actual influence has been overestimated in my opinion

 

[Bwagster]

This dork will definitely be voting for Trump you filthy scoundrels!

Funny how all these countries plus North Korea really thirst for Trump winning…The dots are not hard to connect.

If you agree that its happening why act like its crazy to acknowledge that fact? Is the influence really overstated when it turns out some of the most prominent voices on the right were getting six figure weekly pay outs to tow the Russian line?

Lol accurate.

not gonna lie I would probably do foreign propaganda on a shitty podcast if somebody gave me millions of dollars

The Post:

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

Midtown Manhattan is like less than a mile long lol at the fact that you have to ignore 99.9999999999999% of America and focus on the most unique strip of .9 miles of often non-residential real estate to find a demographic and crime stats that fits your narrative.

If you just expand it to the rest of the Burroughs you're take fails.

"In fact, U.S. rates of crime and immigration have moved in opposite directions in recent years. After illegal immigration plummeted in 2020, the murder rate rose. And after illegal immigration spiked in 2021 and 2022, murders plateaued and then fell”

New York, Chicago and Denver have had an influx of immigrants in the past couple years. Over that same period, murder rates in those cities have fallen. Similarly, border counties in Texas have lower violent crime rates than the state and country overall, the crime analyst Jeff Asher has found.

In reality, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the U.S.“

The Myth of Migrant Crime​

Republicans suggest that immigrants are especially likely to be criminals. The data shows the opposite.

[Mr. Shickadance]

Taking Russia out of the equation it just goes to show that these grifters will sell any story for the highest bidder. So from now on their credibility should always be in question, and there morals are obviously questionable. Or they are too stupid to know what they are doing.

But conservatives won’t care, when you are already living in a fantasy victim world, whats one more lie you gotta tell yourself?

 

[curryjunkie]

Same bet... you get Biden. I get Trump. Let's do it.

So that's a dick tuck on Harris and trump..concession noted

 

[AWilder]

Imagine if fox news gets wrapped up in this scandal as well since many of their talking heads parrot Russian propaganda on air.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

Elon should be celebrated, Yet we tolerate Brazil to ban X
The NFL is playing there..no penalty

“We tolerate Brazil”?
So let me get this straight, we want to be isolationists except when billionaires websites can’t be used in other countries, then We should meddle. Not for other reasons or atrocities that happen across this globe , but for billionaires we should burn the place down. Jesus how bought and sold are you morons.

The irony is that the children and grandchildren of illegals are much more likely to commit crime when they assimilate into the lower class of America. So they become more prone to crime as they assimilate, not less.

This isn't true of immigrants who assimilate into the middle and upper classes of course.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Agree with all of this except the bold text. They were getting paid enough to not care if they believed it or not.

Well, can’t blame the Russians for seeing such an untapped market of morons in North America and then using it to their advantage.

Why shouldn't they? The US does the same all over the world.

Our intelligence services have known about this for a decade now. If some pundit is getting paid to be pro Russian that's still better than what Israel does with our congress. Add in their influence on fox news. Bibi & Murdoch friendship bless

I consider this activity normal from Russia, but it can't be treated like this dark essence that is the sole reason things go wrong for the left. That's just abdication of all responsibility and childish
