    All conveniently overlooked by those congratulating them.

    Then in the case of AOC the Chicoms are likely fellow travelers.

        Do you think people should be blocked from exercising their political opinions? Do you think the Chinese should be allowed to influence our elections?

          I'm no friend of TikTok or AOC's suspicious ability to findraise without using conventional means. Doesn't change the fact that Trump lost a huge amount of political capital. The idiot thought there would be enough people that he'd have to talk *two times*!

          He threw a party and no one showed up outside the single tooth brigade.

          What an absolute loser.

            You're telling me you actually believe Parscale's claim? There were cops on hand all day (we know because a peaceful protestor was arrested for no reason early on). Where's the video evidence of all this violence? Where are the arrests? You're telling me that video evidence of Parscale's claim wouldn't be *solid gold* for making ads with?

            Where is the evidence outside of Parscale desperate to keep milking Trump through November?

              Are you so sure of that? If people were posting about huge crowds attending an event, would you go? If people were threatening those who attended, would you go?

                Trump believed they were going to show up! That's why they set up the enormous overflow area and built a second stage so he and Pence could deliver two sets of remarks.

                Make all the excuses you want but loser Trump believed they were going to be there which is why he looks so dejected upon arriving back home.

                    How does it benefit Trump to not even fill a third of an arena in a deep red state when he believed they would need an enormous overflow area which went unused? What an absolute weak loser it showed him to be. You simply can't spin this and you know it.

                        1) *TRUMP* believed the crowds would show up. *TRUMP* believed it. Does that make weak loser Trump "very slow" too?
                        2) *HOW* am I being played by Trump making an absolute fool of himself and costing himself tremendous political capital? If all it takes for him to humiliate himself is for me to likewise make myself a fool then sign me up.
                        3) You will have to explain how the fact that TikTok is a Chinese company demonstrates Chinese interference. Did you know that Facebook was took a huge amount of Russian money at the beginning? Does that mean Facebook is guilty of Russian interference?
                        4) You seem to have tons of time to read threads on here despite working on a military base. Doesn't sound like something that would fly.

                          True, and it's a shame so many people are taken in by that. Hitler had charisma.

                            Apparently you haven't heard. Trump requested that China help Trump in his 2020 election bid. As for your other assertions of threats, typical Lilpix bull.

                              Who was blocked, Lilpix. As for China interfering, apparently you think it's okay, because you're supporting the guy who requested they interfere.
