It's like someone told him the routers could prove that Arizona actually voted for him...that he NEEDED to get them...and, without having any understanding of what they were talking about...he went balls deep on the idea.

Yeah, I’m gonna guess the Cyber Ninjas guys said or tweeted something about routers with compromised Chinese firmware or whatever. China and shifty Cyber shenanigans will always hook the Deplorables.

Did he just mix up the words network log with routers? Furthermore, I doubt the voting machines are connected to routers, it would cost a lot more for no reason. The voting machines would be most likely connected to switches. Those switches would be connected to a router, that uses a VPN tunnel to the central election office of the state of Arizona.

Even if the router does get compromised, the data would be encrypted end-to-end, and to hack into a voting machine would require bypassing the firewall on the switches and voting machines.

They do not want to give the router network logs for obvious reasons, they do not want the public to know how they made the network. Telling the public how the network is made would be equivalent to telling a hacker how to hack the network.


Pssst....the voting machines are air gapped...no switches, routers, etc. connected.

Sure, but when has objective observable reality gotten in the way of that week's Republican Talking Points.

It follows Brandolini's Law. If enough bullshit is generated, it can't all be countered. The objective is to get our heads so full of it that we can't think straight. Hanna Arendt put it this way-

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.

Yeah one of the advanced logical fallacies is the shotgun argument.
If you pound away with tons of tiny little logical fallacies and lies eventually the opposition will get tired and give up, even though your argument was a total non-sequitur to begin with.
The conservative media has been using it for decades and it works REALLY well because their core audience is not too bright and rarely questions anything.

YOU SEE....
Saturday "was suppose" to be the day that Trump was returned to the Whitehouse, took the oath of office, and became president. However and as typical.... that too never happened. So here was Trump, WASTING his time to fly to AZ to become president of the United States and instead all Trump got was a red MEGA hat for his efforts.
MAD??? Damn straight Donald Trump was mad, and pissed, and he spent all that time on the plane for what? Nothing? Failure?

At this point it becomes obvious that Trump AND his people are living in a make-believe world. And alternate universe. So I say let them believe what they want to believe. Have at it.... Trumpies.
Frankly, I doubt they even listen to what they think they believe. I think this is their drug of choice, to believe in the craziness of it all then acquiring some sort of a high just like a coke addict or a meth addict. They don't really believe Trump will actually become president EVER.... they are only in it for THE HIGH. My advice for the Trumpies, JUST SAY NO!!! Was good advice for the druggies from Nancy Reagan, and good advice for the Trump addicted as well.

But tsk tsk republicans... You'll probably all die of a variant regardless, so why care or bother with Trump in the first place??? Like, why believe Trump will return and why believe that you can fly like a bird on meth? Both illusions are a waste of time, both will never happen, and both can kill you.

The routers have already been replaced by Jeff Bezos. The REAL routers were shipped back to China immediately after Biden won so that Trump could never get them.

Why do you think Bezos went to space?
He had to dump the routers off planet!
We need #MAGA to jump onboard the next flight(s) and go get the routers back.
It's a one way two way trip, I promise.

So that's Trump's plan to get HIS presidency back? Really? Bullshit his way back in like he bullshitted his way in the first time around? Will his flock of lemmings believe all of that crap he flung at them all over again?

Well of course, seeing as if their only alternative is to believe the truth, that nasty nasty truth that always seems to get in the way of their effort to create a safe little fascist state for themselves out of what once was a democracy.

The Repubs are in the process of dismantling the way we have selected our leaders since our nation was created. One man one vote is working against them and their intention is to change the rules in their favor by every devious immoral unethical unconstitutional means at their disposal.

They are relying on the apathy and laziness of our fellow citizens have toward electing our representatives in gov't. They're also relying on their spreading lies and disinformation in order to get what they want.

Our enemies abroad see this and are exploiting this wide open gap in our nation's defenses and the Repubs really don't care seeing as if our enemies and the Repubs are after the same initial result: The destruction of democracy in America.

China??? The greatest mind in the world said that this can all be traced back to Italian satellites changing votes.
