^ Don't know why you're shocked.

Globalist war mongers exist in both parties.

Globalist war mongering? Trump’s abdicated any responsibility and has handed Afghanistan back to Russian influence; he seems to defer to Putin.

He’s screwed the Kurds, allowed the Sultan of Turkey Erdogan that Islamic fundamentalist in a suit to be in NATO while screwing their neighbours and weakened the US internationally. Some feat.

Not shocked. Just a reminder.

Really don’t get the outrage over the Afghanistan stuff. Surely Russia’s position there is as legitimate as America’s (or ours for that matter). The real moral outrage is that the US are still there.

Seems to me that it’s Trump who’s trying to lay that groundwork by sowing doubt about postal ballots. Shows he thinks he’s going to lose and is already preparing excuses.

If I was running for office in America I'd be concerned about interference too. The Democratic primaries had a few 'interesting' moments.

It's probably always something worth keeping an eye out for, but I suspect that most claims of shenanigans have been exaggerated (from Sanders supporters, #Resistance libs and Trumpists alike). The real corruption of the democratic process, I'd argue, remains gerrymandering and voter suppression, which have been practised wantonly in every election in recent memory.

Nah. I'm on to something. The deep state are planning to f#ck Trump over with an unprecedented level of election fraud, so their surrogates in the fake news media are trying to preemptively demonize Trump for calling it out. I bet Soros is behind the whole thing. (Sad)

Soros? Seriously? Come on. :lol:

Also, while I somewhat agree with his critique of the too-easy Biden endorsements from Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, Dore's response to (his own preferred candidate) Tulsi Gabbard's sell-out move, endorsing Biden nearly a month before Sanders dropped out, was ... a little different, to say the least:
