Are the Media Gaslighting the USA?

He was interviewed on TV.
You're not looking good here.
This is one of those times when unfamiliarity wit a topic isn't helpful to you.

Was he?

I didn't see it, so your word isn't proof for me that he exists.
 
Currently we are being "gaslighted" by the MSM, which has "called" the election for Joe Biden. This despite the fact that there have been challenges in six or seven States regarding the voting results...AND that as of today (11/11/20) NONE of the results have been certified.

Ladies and gentlemen, the MSM does not decide who wins. NO, that is done by election rules and starts only after each State's voting tallies have been certified. Even then, it remains for the Electoral College to actually VOTE. BTW, anyone recall all those efforts back in 2016 to encourage unfaithful electors?

You don't strike me as a young man. So I am going to assume you have seen several presidential elections. Was the media gaslighting the American people when it called the 1980 election for Ronald Reagan before the results were officially certified by the states? What about in 1991, was it gaslighting the American people then?

I am not sure if you are simply being intellectually dishonest, or if you are actually under a genuine delusion.
 
Joe doesn't know who he teamed up with.

With so many Trump team members jailed, indicted, heading for trial etc. if anyone doesn't know who they have teamed up with I would put my money on Donny Dip Shit as being clueless in that regard.

:ROFLMAO:
 
Let's take this one point at a time.

1. There are no "clear results" yet. That's the point of President Trump's refusal to concede the election.

2. Meanwhile, as of today (11/14/20) not a single State has "certified" their results.

3. The Media does not give the "title" of "President-Elect." NO ONE is "President-elect" until the Electoral College "elects" him/her. It does not matter what the media "report."

4. If there is an actual "loser" on election day, then of course they would not have any "power to delay transition." However, until the "loser" is factually determined, then there can't be a "transition." Do try to recall Bush v. Gore in 2000.

5. Trump does have several "paths to victory," until enough of those challenges are resolved in such a way as to eliminate them.

Now the fact that YOU believe everything you've said does not make it a sound or valid argument for the rest of us to perforce accept it. 🤷‍♂️

Having said all that, I am NOT saying Trump will ultimately succeed, but I am not going to presume he will not until we know for sure.
Not even one of these "points" is even close to accurate. The results are as clear as day, the media has been calling the presumed winner President elect for decades usually on election night like Mr. One and done in 2016. The one term mistake is a loser and THE loser of the election. Bush vs Gore was an election where 500 votes in one State determined the winner. Nothing like 2020 where Biden has a 306 electoral vote "landslide" And finally there are absolutely no paths to victory and he knows he has lost but is punishing Democrats for calling 2016 tainted by Russian interference.
(CNN)President Donald Trump told an ally that he knows he lost, but that he is delaying the transition process and is aggressively trying to sow doubt about the election results in order to get back at Democrats for questioning the legitimacy of his own election in 2016, especially with the Russia investigation, a source familiar with the President's thinking told CNN on Thursday.

Convince you?

Hardly, I'm, here to EXPOSE you.

Violence is the main tool of the left, which is just an expression of tyranny. We expect Brown Shirts roaming cities engaging in terrorism from democrats - and that's what we get.

But decent people are different than democrats, we are not violent and seek a functioning society. We will only react when life is untenable.

As long as their is food on the shelves in stores, gas at the gas stations, electricity to keep beer cold, and no one is showing up to drag people off to force labor death camps, decent people, conservatives, aren't going to do anything.

But then, that the rub isn't it? Because with the proposals of democrats with the Green Raw Deal we won't have electricity or gas. And with the moves by AOC and Robert Reich, death squads will be out in full force, and THEN things change.
So much fear.

Put the conservative media down for a week or two.

You'll feel better, I swear.

We will welcome you back with open arms, fellow American. We've all gone astray at some point.
 
Your problem is that when you find something to your liking you stop thinking.
OK.

Problem is all the consumers of conservative media have been spraying specious nonsense since before the election. Dozens of lawsuits have been thrown out of court.

And it's nitpicky bullshit in the first place in the middle of a pandemic when trump's toady dicked with the post office after it became apparent there would be a lot of extra mail come election time and all. All of this in the hope that enough eligible voters made mistakes that you can somehow overcome tens of thousands of votes.

Playing games to delay things or set up other means of overriding the will of the American people on accusations and technicalities where no one had any nefarious motive.

I personally would be OK with a postmark requirement that would allow a reasonable delivery by election for mail ins. That way, nobody gets disenfranchised because somebody else screwed up. Which would be the effect if your angle played out. Punishment for something someone else's did.

To be more accurate, serious accusations and election illegalities.

:ROFLMAO:
Who looks more lost without a script to read? Donny Dip Shit or Truth Over Facts Plugs?
 
More importantly, do you still hold out reasonable hope you and Team Trump can stop Biden from replacing Trump and becoming the next POTUS?
I have no idea what will happen.
But, more importantly, if the accusations are true, should he?

Unlike you, in 2021, I fully expect Biden to replace Trump as POTUS. In fact, I would risk money on it!

Based on past experience, you and I could never come to agreement on prioritizing the multitude of accusations. From my view, if the American judicial system ultimately convicts Trump, I want him to face appropriate punishment, including the possibility of incarceration.

The FBI has the laptop and there has been corroboration from a real live person.

Bobulinski never had access to the laptop. All of the text messages and emails Bobulinski provided to Fox News and the Wall Street Journal show that Joe Biden did not have business dealings with SinoHawk Holdings nor did he take money from them. The Wall Street Journal determined that his "evidence" counters his allegations. That's why Fox News never shared it: It countered the narrative they wanted to push for partisan reasons:

From PolitiFact:

the Journal reported that the text messages and emails Bobulinski shared from 2017 "don’t show either Hunter Biden or James Biden discussing a role for Joe Biden in the venture."

The venture in China "never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter," the outlet reported. "Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden."

The Journal also quoted Gilliar, the British national involved in SinoHawk, as saying he was "unaware of any involvement at any time of the former vice president." Gilliar added that "the activity in question never delivered any project revenue."


The New York Times reached the same conclusion about Bobulinski’s records.

Financial disclosures and tax records for Joe Biden show no indication of any income related to the venture at hand, as the Times and Vox reported.

It was all a narrative cooked up for election purposes.
 
So much fear.

One year ago I lived in America - now America is gone. I would have never believed Americans would surrender so much basic liberty, that any American would let the Marxist rulers tell them they must give up Thanksgiving and Christmas, cannot visit a dentist, that the rulers would crush 30% of all small business for the corporate behemoths they work for.

And fear, panic porn on a disease that 998 out of 1000 will recover from if they get sick, is the tool that you Maoists have used to end liberty and civil rights.

Y'all need new narratives.

Where will you be going for the holidays?

Oh that's right, the peasants are prohibited from celebrating holidays.

Well, maybe you can go to a nice restaurant? Ooops, those are outlawed. Well, perhaps catch a movie? Nope, outlawed. The beach? Nope, outlawed.

I have to hand it to you though, America was defeated without a shot fired.

What part is less than 100% accurate?

I want my country back, and may have to insist. Move to Venezuela instead of destroying America.

This country doesn't belong to you alone, it never did, you belong to this country, along with well more than 300 million other unique individuals.

I am not a traitor. Nor is the rest of the left.

You have been sold an alternate reality, are being led around by your neurochemistry.

But all that aside, remember this:

Conservatives always follow progressives into the future.

Kicking and screaming and clawing and scratching the whole way.

This brings us to ground zero for election fraud — Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth illegally changed its election rules before and during the voting process. Essentially, the Commonwealth Court and the Secretary of the Commonwealth ignored the General Assembly and the U.S. Constitution to rig the election on behalf of Joe Biden. The American Spectator’s Paul Kengor and Jeffrey Lord have covered this chicanery here, here, here, and here. We are expected to believe that such stories are conspiracy theories, despite videos showing Democrat election officials evicting Republican election observers from vote-counting locations and erecting physical barriers to prevent them from watching.

Finally, we come to the Smartmatic/Dominion software that was used to tabulate votes in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As this Fox interview with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani reveals, this software was developed in Venezuela and banned from the U.S. a decade ago. It’s now been brought back into the country under the aegis of a subcontractor. Its major design feature is that it allows the vote counters to calculate how many votes they need to win. Jeffrey Lord has more here. The Democrats want you to believe this is a conspiracy theory. It isn’t. The Democrats knew they couldn’t beat Trump honestly, so they’re stealing the election.
