Trump ally Roger Stone peddled himself as a WikiLeaks conduit in 2016, campaign officials told the special counsel.
Same thing happened with Burkman's last conspiracy theory. The so-called "witness" failed to show.I'll just embed so people don't have to click on it:

Some of those kids look Middle Eastern.
And if they've been walking for thousands of miles, where do they have the energy to play games?
cyberdyne?
I love how he says "securing our border." Not "borders." Because the only one he's worried about is the border with Mexico.
We clearly need 20,000 troops. 15,000 isn't going to be able to handle it. Glad to see Mattis is on board.
Good practice for the populace to see for nov 2020 when elections are suspended![]()

She's from Canada. You wouldn't know her.

Brief cameo to remind everyone: please vote.
It is remarkable that even people who are active on political forums still sometimes either forget or convince themselves that because of {cynicism, despondency, depression} their vote does not matter.
IT DOES!
It also feels really good to become politically active, as I have discovered over the last 6 months. The feeling of powerlessness is most acute when all you do is read and/or type angry screeds on a keyboard. Getting out and meeting other politically active people and talking to voters -- participating in democracy and democratic institutions -- goes a long way to fight back the twin enemies of democracy: apathy and ironic distance.
Reading the headlines one is still of course angry, but channeling that anger into productive efforts to defeat the causes of that anger is fulfilling work.
tl; dr:
Fellow liberals: It's still not too late to get involved, do phone banks or volunteer at an election day precinct table, or just hang signs and hand out ballots.
Sincere Conservatives: There's still time to save your party by punishing the disease that has taken hold of it.
Dumpies: Listen to your leader! On Election Day don't leave your homes; cower under you beds and rattle your jewelry.

Happy to hear the last six months have been rewarding for you! This board desperately misses you, but I hope for your own sanity you continue to avoid it.
