Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

Yes

russian influence has been turbo charged

Then we have Elmo, in conjunction with a couple of russian oligarchs and the Saudis buying twitter

Elmo proclaiming no alliance and free speech a few short years ago .. to now?

Yes, there is now more outside interference & misinformation than ever... which is dangerous given the number of sheep in the USA.

Harris drifting again since y/day morning. Back to 2.40 , Trump $1.61).

Sobering and concerning.

Like the polls, the odds are determined by numbnuts putting money on one side or the other. You don’t reckon you can manipulate the odds?

We're all being subjected to it

TikTok needs to heck off asap as well

FMD - even reading news.com is appalling at times

That’s what I thought originally when we were talking “just” tens of millions backing Trump. Loose change for Elon and Thiel

But now far bigger money is coming - well into the billions - and recent money is backing Trump. That’s why it’s concerning.

BUT for foreign political actors like Russia and China I suppose it’s still relatively small.

Gotta keep believing

Elon has probably put a lazy $100M on Trump winning...

It's why I avoid most social media platforms, including Tik Tok.

Brad Raffensperger (republican) pointed out the disinformation that is already happening in Georgia, stating that it is coming from Russia. There is so much at play here for the 1% and the foreign players hoping to have some control over the US with trump in the Whitehouse.

Now I am sure this shit ISNT just limited to Fox News. But for Jesse Waters - one of the more annoying heads on TV - to act in a predatory manner and cheat on his wife with the stations young intern by LETTING down her car TYRES causing her to get a lift home with him….seriously that is so ****** up

Are you suggesting that there are sexual predators amongst us and that they seem politically to be right of centre?

There are sexual predators on every side. It is not just the domain of the right wing.

yes .. there are

Yes, there are likely 2 (hopefully remaining) ex-USA presidents in the Epstein black book - from both major parties.

I'm seeing a lot of these Harris = Clinton posts but I don't know that it's a reasonable comparison. Clinton had a lot of baggage that went beyond just being a woman. I don't think Harris is a particularly charismatic candidate but she was able to fly under the radar in a way Clinton really couldn't.

Surely the biggest ace the Democrats have is how Trump performed as President when Covid hit.

It was a clown show and he then got voted out of office

Surely people won't forget how he performed when some actual leadership was required

For those playing at home, can you just explain again which side are the "goodies" and which are "baddies"?

I agree with this in principle but think a lot of people have memory holed COVID. If there was an ace in their sleeve, I think it's the SC overturning Roe v Wade. That could potentially mean a gender divide where women break hard for Harris and though Trump is more popular with male voters, historically women have been shown to be more likely to vote than men.

Might send the pink ones.

More likely to send to his mate Putin to end the war...
