What if the routers were TP-Link? I read a review from a Maga support who said he'd never buy a TP-Link router because they have a secret built in hidden network that you have absolutely no way to access, and cannot disable it. And obviously, this is because China is full of commie spies. I recently bought my 1st TP-Link router, and sure enough there were 2 hidden network available when I got it configured, and I didn't set up any hidden networks. I Googled this and someone else said they are a security measure from TP Link to keep people from trying to hack into your network. But this is could be BS and it may actually tie into be why Trump lost the election. If that's the case until the day I die TP-Link will get 100% of my networking purchases.

TP Link, what about the overpriced routers people rent from Comcast/Xfinity which create a second network for Xfinity customers to use and syphon off your bandwidth?

They don’t really siphon off your bandwidth. They use bandwidth you likely would never be allowed to have but yeah I would never allow that willingly.
If you want to install a WiFi hotspot in my home and have me maintain & power it you can send me a check monthly for doing so.

I've been stunned at people I know - friends or acquaintances -- who believe the nonsense about the AZ election, which Trump, his Cyber-Ninja pals and supporters together with FOX -- have been spinning.

Someone argued "Well! The AZ state legislature voted to authorize the audit!" As if -- you only need to take a vote, and the majority will ineluctably lead you to the Truth.

As I understand it, there were something like four fraudulent ballots, probably detected by the myriad precincts, counties and the AZ state agency. Two by Trumpers, and two instances from the opposition. How would a sane, well-informed person handle this? Is that evidence of massive fraud?

Did they need to give over the entire set of AZ ballots to the Cyber-Ninja contractor? No. Did they need to occupy a sports stadium? No.

They could've random-sampled the ballots, and to an extreme -- picked maybe 10,000 ballots to review and examine. The detection error for such a sample would be fractions of a percent, or the size of the sample could be determined by the vote-spread in the election, which somehow alarmed the Republicans. You'd merely pick a sample size which would be unable to miss any fraud at the level impacting the election outcome.

Then, exclude all the precincts and counties where no fraud was detected, and do a 100% review of those jurisdictions which evidenced some sort of "fraud" or irregularity. The entire review would take less than a month or two.

This has been Trump's delusional public-relations stunt, and it has cost the citizens and the state of Arizona dearly -- in dollars. It's cost all of us. And there have been worries all along about the wisdom of turning over all the ballots and election-machines to the extreme partisans and their "Cyber-Ninja" know-nothings.

And multiple states inculcating in law the ability to throw out results they don't like in a partisan way!

(CNN) Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper says in his new book that then-President Donald Trump raised the idea of shooting protesters who took to the streets around the White House after the killing of Georgia Floyd in 2020, according to Axios.
"Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?" Trump asked, according to an excerpt in Esper's book "A Sacred Oath," Axios reported....

CNN has previously reported similar accounts, including those documented by journalist Michael Bender in his own book titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost."
Last year, Bender's book revealed new details about how Trump repeatedly called for law enforcement to shoot protesters during Oval Office meetings.
"Just shoot them," Trump said on multiple occasions inside the Oval Office, according to Bender's book...

The sad part is that Trump was likely saying this not out of dastardly cunning, but due to his particularly stupid brand of evil. He wanted to do the horrible thing because he neither has a morality filter nor the basic intelligence to realize that shooting unarmed protesters is wildly illegal.

It's been said many times before, but: the US was saved from a Republican autocracy by Trump's gross incompetence. We might not have that saving grace with the party's future candidates.

not only illegal, it would have set a very bad example and blow up in his face because if he had ordered it, it would never been kept quite and most likely leaked out.

This past weekend in a speech to Turning Point Action in Arizona:

“The county has, for whatever reason, also refused to produce the network routers. We want the routers, Sonny, Wendy, we got to get those routers, please. The routers. Come on, Kelly, we can get those routers. Those routers. You know what? We’re so beyond the routers, there’s so many fraudulent votes without the routers. But if you got those routers, what that will show, and they don’t want to give up the routers. They don’t want to give them. They are fighting like hell. Why are these commissioners fighting not to give the routers?”

He want these routers to show that the Maricopa voting machines were connected to the internet during the election so votes could be electronically transferred from Trump to Biden. The Maricopa Board of Elections (which is 4-1 Republican) has said no for many reasons, among which is the fact that a previous independent audit commissioned by the county proved they were not.

Unfortunately his base will believe it despite how unhinged it sounds and how bereft of facts it is.

Must be sampling Mike's stash. Oh, crap, bordering on posting in a necro thread.

100% his line of thinking here is “My base will go nuts if I bag me a couple of rioters”… the other stuff never enters his mind.

Well it worked, or did it????
JD Vance won his race in Ohio. And some say this is bad and shows Trump still has influence. But I'm glad Vance won because now we have a Trump certified candidate going up against a democrat in the midterms. And I totally believe that the democrat will win, and the majority will reject the Trump guy as damaged merchandise.

Should this trend continue across the country with Trump endorsed candidates winning, this will give democrats the chance they need to gain in the house and senate thus holding control.
Trump may be THE BIG GUY on republican campus, but how about with the majority of voters? I don't think so.
Remember, this Trump guy was the one who tried to overthrow our government. Lets just see how republicans do come November by placing all their eggs in one orange colored basket.

Does Donny even know what a router is?

They could write the word on a potato, and he wouldn't know the difference.

Mark Esper can take his book and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. All these "revelations" they reveal now, but then didn't do or say anything at the time just shows they're all just rotten to their cores.

But wait there's more! Why don't we launch missile attacks against Mexico to take out drug cartels?
Trump wanted to take out the drug labs with… “Patriot missiles”. You know, our surface to air missile defense system. I hadn’t realized the cartels were relying on flying drug labs — all conveniently close to the border.

Well, at least Trump didn’t call for just nuking them (as far as we know)

“I don’t like unpatriotic missiles, they’re losers.”

It's obvious he doesn't even know what a Patriot missile is. t was too arcane for him to understand that Patriot missiles are designed for ground-to-air strikes. Or that a missile with a top range of less than 100 miles would fool anybody into thinking that some other country was responsible, but this is the guy who thought we could stop Russia by bombing them with fighter jets with a Chinese flag painted on them. They’re those "hydrosonic" missiles that fire from the invisible planes.


Hydrosonic? Faster than the speed of… water?

We already knew President Shit For Brains wanted to use the military in Mexico and on the border.

Esper can go get f'd.
