You said "This is going to be more dramatic than a Mexican soap opera." But why say that when it's exactly how liberals will react to perceived injustice. It will be taken as indifference to that injustice and critical of those who do despite the fact that it is actually a part of your moral code of ethics causing a distaste for hateful reactions. I think it would be fine to express a distaste for hateful reactions after you acknowledge that it was injustice that produced them. Vile claims were made without definitive proof. Many people see that as evil. To me it's just a product of being mentally ill, full of hate and intending harm. In the past such assholes might be challenged to a dual and people were more careful about opening their vial traps.

Mulla Nasrudin went to a train station to catch a train. While buying a ticket a boy ran buy and knocked off his hat. The Mulla did nothing and people said to him he shouldn't let that brat run wild like that. Nasrudin answered that. not how this is working out. Some time passed and a soldier got in the ticket line and the boy did the same to him. The soldier took his rifle off his shoulder and shot him.
The point here is that we have one fellow making unsubstantiated claims, and a few others jumping on the band wagon because they want it to be true. That will anger Harris supporters and cause some of them to respond. We end up with a boat load of drama based on a contrived situation. Sounds like a soap opera to me.

Until someone comes up with hard evidence, I don't believe a word of it. I won't accept the word of someone who makes the claim then can't remember the gross details. Seen that happen, didn't buy it back then and won't buy it now. Criminal accusations that are politically convenient are always suspect.

Absolutely none. It's one idiot on X making wild claims without producing any evidence. Why would I bother looking into it? But it will produce much gnashing of teeth and cries for censorship. This has entertainment written all over it. If it turns out to be true, which seems extremely unlikely, it will be a shit show of biblical proportions.
You don't have to worry. Musk in is charge of censorship on Twitter. That's why he allowed this and barred the reporter who released the JD Vance dossier.

The bots and russian trolls are really piling on this one, every article I've read about it is filled with comments about how it's been 100% proven true.

Yeah it popped in our local facebook group yesterday. Took the admins 24 hours to take it down. Also said that Obama was a pedophile as well.

This is just painful to watch. The trump supporter is unable to stay on topic and just keeps on with what about diversions, while simultaneously claiming he doesn’t know the facts….yet as pointed out refuses to accept facts as facts.

The logical fallacy argument style is so humiliating for anyone that can see it.

It’s seriously just like posters here such as greenman or pcgeek.

Exactly. The right wing propaganda bubble is so effective that it rivals flat earth level conviction.
If you say up is up, you must be lying and I must oppose you.
The brainwashing is almost complete... And if you lose in three weeks. Shit man. You shoulda capped Murdoch while you had the chance. Metaphorically speaking of course.

Unsurprisingly, the MAGAs believe this "victim" with every fiber of their being. They're praying this story is true. Imagine hating someone so much you hope a story about them raping someone is proven. I HATE Trump but I don't want any female to be raped by him so I can gloat about what a shitty person he is.

I asked one who was ranting and raving about what a POS Walz is for this how he felt about the dozens of females who have come out accusing Trump of rape. He never responded, but one of his fellow cultists said - word for word.

And we all got to hear the specific allegations and how absurd they were. Now let's hear this fella out.

Maybe I'm biased because I hate Trump, but allegations from females about rape from the guy who bragged about being able to grab em by the pussy don't seem absurd in the least to me lol. And there are over 20? I know it's a damn lot. Yet, all it takes is 1 random person accusing Walz of the same shit and it's as concrete as you can get. "let's hear this fella out" Meanwhile we don't need to hear the countless females out because they're all clearly lying right? Trump is orange fat and nasty, the only way I see any female having sex with him is if he pays them, or forces himself on them.

Yep, pretty scary.

Here’s another one that reminds of the brain dead people around here

Fairly credible evidence points to the Black Insurrectionist being Ali Alexander. (Founder of Stop the Steal)


Shortly after this was exposed, the account went silent and was deleted.


You can't make this shit up, I've never heard of this guy, but it's MAGA irony fitting to read that he's been accused of doing the shit he made up about Walz. And as I figured, the MAGAts are brushing off the allegations against him as baseless attacks, but are still fully pushing the narrative about what he accused Walz of. You'd think him being exposed and having deleted the account he made would have them at least backtracking a little. But they're deadset here, well if nothing else at least they're consistent.
