Crazy, I didn’t think Australia was about the size of the lower 48.
 
I like Kamala’s chances at the moment, and hope the convention will provide even more momentum. We could use a blue wave, and a big win for the Oval Office. The potential for tumult and chaos is certainly there.

Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America | Carole Cadwalladr

The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated?
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com


Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob found each other online, descended on Washington, stormed the Capitol and threatened the vice-president with a noose. But that was the good old days.

……In Britain, the canary has sung. This summer we have witnessed something new and unprecedented. The billionaire owner of a tech platform publicly confronting an elected leader and using his platform to undermine his authority and incite violence. Britain’s 2024 summer riots were Elon Musk’s trial balloon.

He got away with it. And if you’re not terrified by both the extraordinary supranational power of that and the potential consequences, you should be. If Musk chooses to “predict” a civil war in the States, what will that look like? If he chooses to contest an election result? If he decides that democracy is over-rated? This isn’t sci-fi. It’s literally three months away.

None of this is happening in a vacuum. For a brief minute after 2016, there was an attempt to understand how these tech platforms had been used to spread lies and falsehoods – or mis- and disinformation – as we came to know them and to try to prevent it. But that moment has passed. A years-long effort by Republican operatives to politicise the entire subject of “misinformation” has won. It barely even now exists in US tech circles. Anyone who suggests it does – researchers, academics, “trust and safety” teams – are now all part of the “censorship industrial complex”.

A US congressional committee headed by Republican Jim Jordan, convinced that big tech was silencing conservative voices, went on the warpath. It subpoenaed the email history of dozens of academics and has chilled an entire field of research. Whole university departments have collapsed, including the Stanford Internet Observatory whose election integrity unit provided rapid detection and analysis in 2020.

Republicans are really excited about Kamala Harris as president.
First they do everything they can to get Biden to quit the race for the 2024 election to help Kamala get the opportunity instead.

Now (again) they want to impeach Biden which would literally expedite the process of Kamala Harris being president. Not to mention trump literally wrote a check to Kamala Harris.

Trump scares his followers with talk of "illegals," but border crossings are lowest in four years

A new tally by border agents shows that illegal crossings are at a steady decline, down 32 percent since June
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

During Donald Trump's press conference at his Golf Club in Bedminster, Trump rattled off misinformation about Kamala Harris wanting to "end detention of illegal alien migrants, releasing vicious monsters into our communities to rape, maim and murder." And this has been a popular loop-de-doop of his for years, regardless of who his opponent is. But it's usually not based on facts by any stretch of the word.

In a Friday afternoon feature by The Washington Post breaking down the decline in illegal border crossings, they highlight data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection showing in July a 32 percent decline from June and the fifth straight month that the figure has fallen," with officials attributing the change "to executive actions Biden announced this spring that effectively shut off access to the U.S. asylum system for migrants who enter illegally."

“The Biden-Harris Administration has taken effective action, and Republicans continue to do nothing,” White House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said in a statement on the numbers, adding that Republican lawmakers “are more interested in cynically playing politics than securing the border.”

From the time Biden took office through Jan 2024 there were 7,254,386 encounters at the southwest border. That is encounters. There were 3.2 million expulsions during that period. During Trump's 4 years, The U.S. averaged 290,394 deportations per year. During every single year of the Biden administration, more deportations occurred than Trumps per year average.

It is the Republicans that shot down the most comprehensive border bill in decades because Trump said he wanted to run on the issue.

According to the WSJ editorial board: "By any honest reckoning, this is the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades. Previous immigration talks have involved trading security measures for legalizing more immigration. There is little of the latter in this bill—nothing for nearly all of the Dreamers who were brought here illegally as children, no general pathway to citizenship or green cards for most illegal immigrants already in theU.S. This is almost entirely a border security bill, and its provisions include long-time GOP priorities that the party’s restrictionists could never have passed only a few months ago. Republicans demanded border measures last year as the price for passing military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Pacific allies."

The Democrats wanted aid forUkraine so they gave many concessions and then the Republicans said no because of Trump being for himself.

The term 'misinformation' most commonly means 'technically true but bad for the narrative'. The term sounds like 'disinformation', which are untrue statements intended to deceive, but because whatever it is may be completely true they can't call it disinformation. It is like Cheap Fakes versus Deep Fakes. One actually happened but it is devastating so they give it a name that sounds like a thing that was fabricated.

So your story is that Trump was saying true things that were damaging to Kamala's narrative... carry on.

This is the reality. The Biden Admin's border policy was a continuation and escalation of the Trump admin's border policy. And the dems were more than willing to make it even more draconian. It's funny because on one hand, I hate that the dems, who heavily criticized the harsh border policy of the trump admin, have now taken on the same policy and are forced to defend it. But on the other hand, it sure is ironic when the hogs go after the Biden Admin for the ongoing invasion.

It's all just BS from both sides recently TBH. Nobody has any consistent principles when it comes to the border.

Swing and a miss. You like to think you can just change definitions of things by saying things like "most commonly means" (which is simply your opinion)

What misinformation actually means is:
false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive. Like when Trump says at a rally that there are 10 million illegal immigrants coming from prisons and mental institutions raping and robbing all across America. Then at his next rally it's 15 million. At the next rally it's 20 million. This is trump spewing false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive. Misinformation.
