The original thread was locked, appropriately I should add. Because it was rather obvious the accusations were a cheap fake. The student who confessed was using somebody else's name and likeness, and the real one has been contacted, denies ever having class with Walz, and says the story is complete bunk. Not surprised, because when you are Trump or one of his sycophants, you stand for nothing. Which means you fall for anything, no matter how bad and obvious the fake is.
That thread was trashed because it was started with just a post on X. We're actually talking now about what our policy should be. My concern is that X is often/usually someone just saying something with no evidence that it's true. The mods a good while ago banned starting threads with emails and Facebook posts for that reason. On the other hand, an awful of lot of information and even valid news can come through X and other social media. So, like I said, it's being discussed. If I remember correctly, Vegasfox started that thread and later acknowledged that it was bogus.
Same reason they've now pivoted to the Kamala minstrel show thread. I haven't even looked in that one. It's just too disgusting go there.
Have they figured out how much Elmo Musk paid this fraudster, with Roger Stone acting as the go-between for the fraudster and the Trump campaign? And let's hope there's no false indignation from any Trumpies, given that that was almost exactly what happened with Stone, Wikileaks, the Trump campaign, and Russia.
There are times when I think, "TH sure seems quiet." Or, "I wonder why x topic isn't being discussed." Then I realize I'm fortunate to not have to read it.
I started the Walz thread and have said I'll eat all the crow anyone wants to feed me. I said early on if the X posts by Black Insurrectionist were a hoax it was an elaborate one.l (which turned out to be the case). vaxcardinal and the meticulous rivergator made strong points that made me think the posts on X could be fraudulent. vaxcardinal said documents had been forged. After a little research I foundi right-wing memer MAZE had made the same point that vaxcardinal made on Black Insurrectionist's account and he got blocked. Huge red flag. Black Insurrectionist had said he had 25+ more tweets he was going to post the afternoon of the day my thread started. When that didn't happen I said it looked like Black Insurrectionist had engaged in a disinformation operation. Given this was the number 1 trending story on X I don't think I did a bad thing bringing the story here to be vetted. I said I had an open mind and the story could be a hoax but I definitely was leaning towards thinking the story was true, given the many high profile accounts that followed Black Insurrectionist (who I'd never heard of before). Bottom line is vaxcardinal and river gator. made strong points and I accepted the story was a hoax inside a day Now I know a lot of you, maybe ALL of you, think I improperly smeared Tim Walz. My position is guys l8ke him need to be vetted before they make it to high office. It's not my responsibility to prove Tim Walz is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt before I present information about him to be vetted. The standard is this: If there is a reasonable doubt as to whether Tim Walz engaged in behavior that makes him a national security threat he should not be the Democrat VP nominee. This brings to mind Joe McCarthy VS Democrats over 70 years ago. Joe McCarthy thought if there was a reasonable suspicion that a projected appointee to a high level position was not loyal to the US you don't let him take the job. The Democrat position was that essentially you had to prove the nominee wasn't loyal beyond a reasonable doubt before you could reject him. McCarthy's position was more in accordance with how nominees were supposed to be vetted per this book by William F Buckley Anyone who wants to feed me some crow go ahead. My position on Walz is he is hiding a lot, certainly his relationships with CCP officials . My 8nstincts tell me his relationships with kids is creepy. I've dealt with pedophiles before One no longer teaches in Seminole County Florida. The other fled Wagonwheel flea market in the St Pete area. Where he went I have no idea. Can I prove what I suspect? No
I’m sad that this turned out to be a fake story…would have been awesome news….now off to the babes thread to look for other fake things
For the record, having voted for Trump today, I discounted the original OP as spurious. A mistake I see over and over is demonizing a group because one person is an idiot and/or makes a mistake. When I agree on a point on the football board with someone I normally disagree with politically I’m more inclined to listen to that person on THFSG. But, feel free to do the victory dance on the bodies of those with whom you disagree.
It's not one person. It's a barrage of lies and misinformation. Haitians eating people's pets Tampons in the boys broom Abortions at birth Harris border czar Teachers are groomers Professors are indoctrinators 30k illegals dumped in Springfield, OH Lies about hurricane relief Greatest economy ever Largest tax cut in history The election was stolen Pelosi turned down National Guard Heck, this is just a handful. There are unending sources of disinformation, too. Go ahead and claim both sides, but nothing like this exists elsewhere, cept maybe Russia.
LMAO @ the gratuitous unwarranted Trumpgasm embedded in the OP... Can't help yourselves, can ya? TBL: there a higher probability that aWolz is a pedo, than that Trump had didly squat to do with allegation.
Trump may not have had anything to do with this lie, but when Trump lies like Haitians eating pets, and his sycophants believe him, it's easy for these same sycophants to believe the Walz story.
Says the guy who will enthusiastically vote for the demonizing liar who tells the lie, for just one laughably egregious example, that "they're eating the dogs." Have you realized yet how little credibility any Trump voter has on....well, any subject whatsoever?
