Daily Shaarli

One of the best parts of that clip is that people start heckling her during her big applause line. The crowd then starts groaning and booing, leaving her to pretend they are actually cheering for what she said. Everything about her is so contrived, and it just oozes from every word and mannerism.
Harris has a record. She has a record of comparing those who disagree with her to fascists and claiming they are an existential threat to democracy. She has a record of attempting to jail her political opponents. She has a record of trying to score political points at the expense of vulnerable Americans. She is not looking to "make progress." She's looking to continue the prior four years of failed policies. //
No one is buying this stuff, and it's simply too late to change the narrative. You can't go from comparing your opponents to the Third Reich on the Washington Mall earlier in the week to preaching unity a day later. All that does is make her look even more inauthentic and fake. //

Former McDonalds fry cook and garbage collector becomes President of the United States. Trump may have just been trolling Biden/Harris but he also served as an example of the American Dream. With imagination, a positive attitude and hard work anything is possible. //

Democrats: We have to unify! We have to lower the temperature!
Also Democrats: Except for those 90 million Trump supporters , their familes, and anyone aho has any connection to them. Then you can go all Maxine Waters on them.
Media / democrats: Trump voters are fascist garbage, and Trump is a totalitarian Nazi dictator who is Literally Hitler® and will kill women who have abortions, lock up anyone who supports it, deport every Latino in America, and is going to send the media to concentrationc camps based on his enemies list. He is an immediate threat to democracy and all we hold dear if he is elected. He will start WW3 and get a billion people killed. He must be stopped!
Trump: I love America and its people. There is no reason for these problems were have, and I intend to right this ship back to prosperity for everyone like we had before. The working men and women of America have been the backbone of the nation and give us everything we use, and I intend to give them a place at the table again. The elite ruling class has shut them out and mocked and impugned them for wanting back in. You can't lead America if you don't love all the American people. Let's make America great again for everyone.
Media / Democrats: Trump needs to tone down the hateful rhetoric and stop sending code words and dog whistles to his radical followers before someone gets hurt or worse.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office posted passwords to statewide voting systems online for anyone to access. The Colorado Republican Party, which uncovered the security breach, is seeking accountability.
The office of Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who tried but failed to kick former President Donald Trump off the ballot, posted an Excel file online with a “hidden” page of 600 passwords to voting systems in every county but one, according to an email the Colorado GOP sent on Tuesday. Anyone could “unhide” the page and view the passwords.
On Wednesday, the Colorado GOP said it is seeking “legal relief in the courts” and calling on state lawmakers for an emergency audit, saying Griswold engaged in a “cover-up.” Colorado voting is already underway, according to the secretary’s website, with more than 1.27 million votes already cast.
“This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado’s elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted,” Griswold’s office claimed in a press release. //
Just last week, Griswold held a press conference about voter fraud in Mesa County, according to KUSA. There, she claimed there was “no reason to believe that there are any security breaches or compromises in the state of Colorado.”
DUTCHESS COUNTY, New York — “I’m sorry sir, but you already voted.”
“No I didn’t,” 55-year-old Mike Miner told a Wappingers Falls election worker on Sunday — yet that’s not what election records showed.
Miner told The Federalist that he decided to vote early, just one day after early voting began on Saturday.
“I went up to the table and was told I already voted,” Miner said. “I ask, ‘Where did I vote?’ Because, of course, this is very surprising to me. And they told me I voted in the town of Fishkill [which is located next to Wappingers], 22 minutes after early voting began on Saturday.”
Miner was given an affidavit ballot, which is a provisional ballot that is secured inside an affidavit envelope. A bipartisan team at the Dutchess County Board of Elections investigated the situation and determined that since the signature provided Saturday did not match Miner’s actual signature, Miner’s affidavit ballot will count — but so will the fraudulent vote cast Saturday in Miner’s name. That’s because once a ballot is cast, the vote itself becomes anonymous, making it impossible to identify the fraudulent vote and remove it from the bunch. //
But Miner says it’s “ridiculous” that a system — which is supposedly “secure,” according to Haight — doesn’t require ID to vote, which could have prevented the fraudulent vote from being cast.
“You don’t have to show ID to vote, I think it’s ridiculous — anyone can walk in, just as what happened to me, and say ‘I’m so and so’ and vote. So I don’t believe the system is safe right now,” Miner said. “And I know I’m only one vote, but I have the right to vote and my vote should count. Someone shouldn’t steal your vote and that be able to count. I don’t know the outcome of that vote — what if it was opposite of what I voted? Then it cancels my vote out.”
But Miner’s situation could have been avoided if New York wanted to have an ounce of integrity in their elections. The Empire State is one of 14 states that do not require voters to show ID in order to vote.
But the left should keep this in mind: The people who are engaging in these acts tend, broadly speaking, to see political violence as a dial, like a dial on a stovetop, where the heat can be turned up a little, down a little, as the recipe calls for. But many on the right see political violence as a toggle - with the preferred OFF position marked "peaceful discourse," and the other, less desirable, to-be-avoided ON position marked "raise the black flag and start sorting some stuff out."
And I would also remind any would-be rioters or looters of an old Alaskan saying: "The wolf's strength lies not in its fangs but in its pack."
Part two of an investigation into how the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating social media sites to artificially boost their popularity, spread election disinformation, and skirt election laws. //
In part one of this investigation into how Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is deceptively manipulating online platforms, it was revealed that the campaign is operating a Discord server that directs hordes of volunteers to use their social media accounts to deceptively push election propaganda.
The goal is to artificially manufacture consensus by making pro-Kamala Harris messages on social media appear more popular than they are, and it is often done in violation of the Terms of Service of the social media platforms. In more extreme cases, they are encouraging people to skirt election laws and using these “astroturfing” campaigns to spread disinformation they think will help win the upcoming election.
Yesterday’s report documented how the Harris-Walz campaign has seen great success in manipulating Reddit’s algorithm, but that isn’t the only social media site they’re manipulating. The campaign has also been targeting Elon Musk’s X, perhaps the most influential site for political news. One particular goal, according to a user of the Harris-Walz campaign Discord server, is to get campaign volunteers to swarm the site and “block [community notes] we don’t like.”
