    Some very questionable things on that list.....


    Strom Thurmond is listed as a Democrat, despite the fact that he represented Democrats for 10 years, and Republicans for the next 39.


    Jared Fogle as a "politician', or in any way a prominent Democrat, is something I'd want to see some evidence for.


    Bernie Ward was a radio host, not a politician.


    Dean Westlake is included, but not Roy Moore for some reason.


    That's just looking through very quickly.

    I haven't gone through every person on that list but, I have looked up some of them.

    I don't think it's unfair to say that the majority of the names on that list is accurate.

    I only posted it to prove that there are genuine newsworthy stuff being posted on QAnon. As I've previously stated I browse it for news not as an avid follower of what is posted as I know most of the stuff posted isn't true as there is often no evidence to verify the claims in their posts but, on this occasion that particular post seems to be true.

    Go on try the same for Donald Trump there

    why? I doubt there anywhere near the comparable searches

    Well if you try it in Bing, "Does Donald Trump have dementia" also auto-conpletes/gets suggested.

    I think they're very comparable searches, what with them both being elderly Presidential candidates going up against each other.

    Here's another one for you; try "did Donald Trump have a stroke?" in google search. Doesn't get suggested, but does on Bing. What does this prove then?

    LOL my top searches suggested for did Donald Trump / did Joe Biden:

    did Joe Biden marry his sister

    did Donald Trump shut down Roblox

    Well his response to covid deaths was

    "People are dying, it is what it is"

    So honestly this doesn't surprise me at all.

    I'd rather he was tried and convicted in court but I won't be losing any sleep over a cold blooded killer getting killed himself.

    He doesn't deserve any sympathy IMO and Trump knows that too.

    He didn't get to murder anyone else, didn't hit the police and his kids are now safe.

    Good riddance to the totalitarian prick, he dug his own hole.

    As was his right under the Constitution but we already know that Trump only cares about "law and order" when it suits him.

    Considering some of these are stated agenda of this president, why has McConnel killed these bills that have passed the House and wait on his desk?

    It's also very interesting that when you go to the BLM page and hit donate you're taken to the actblue website, easy to see why Democrats have been very vocal in the their support for BLM.

    not that interesting. ActBlue is just a technology platform. It is basically gofundme for those lefty liberal types you despise so much.

    Nice try, but their website clearly states that they only accept donations for Democratic candidates

    "That’s why we’ve built a powerful online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot"

    https://secure.actblue.com/about

    Can you show me any Republican candidates that you can donate to using actblue?

    it is more likely that people are not recording their employer when they donate. ActBlue gives the name of all donors to the federal government.

    Is it possible to get a similar list of all donors to republican party?

    the republicans have their own platform.

    But they don't have a platform that funnels BLM donations to their presidential candidate and other Democratic candidates.

    what makes you think that the donations on that BLM page go to anything other than BLM?

    the page seems quite clear

    I didn't treat them as credible I merely stated that I've checked their posts for news.

    Why would you check sources you don't consider credible?

    Because sometimes on rare occasions they post something that is newsworthy such as the previous example that I have posted.

    Their not credible 99% of the time but on rare occasions they post something that is credible and newsworthy which is why I sometimes browse their posts.

    But its not newsworthy as its shown to be incorrect and untrue in various places as shown by a previous poster.

    We've talked about cognitive bias before

    He didn't show that any of the charges were incorrect or true merely that the person's political affiliation was incorrect he also only listed 4 people when there was well over 50 people on those lists.

    One or two discrepancies doesn't make the rest of the information posted untrue or not newsworthy if they are all proven to true and accurate now does it?

    Feel free to go through the list and point out the inaccuracies and false stories if there are any false stories.

    Then come back to me and talk about cognitive bias.

    So, this is this week's distraction thread from the fact they're lagging the fundraising race. $210mn in August (vs. $354mn for the Democratic party.) https://www.npr.org/2020/09/09/911191349/trump-republicans-raise-210-million-in-august-far-behind-democrats-haul

    TBF - $210mn would've been a record. Pretty interesting to me so much money's coming in, lots of interest in the last month.

    have you done that? did you know that the 4 already pointed out were incorrect? Or did you just assume it was all correct?

    Just so I understand you.

    You ignore MSM because you believe it not credible, but on this occasion, you are willing to run with this story despite acknowledging that they are not credible.

    So is it that you judge each story on its merits or that the credibility of the organisation has a bearing on your view on it?

    Becasue I don't understand why you would avoid MSM on that basis
