They had to Make sure Trump was rock solid and unable to be switched out before they made their move. Perfect timing for them. Hopefully Trumps competition will be revealed soon. I doubt it will be Kamilla because she is unwinnable. I think she gets offered a cushy high paying low work job that she doesn't have to suck a dick for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) I can totally see the Dems playing it that way. And they've realized because of polling it isn't looking good for them. Something that really bothers me about them other than the policies they push is they've known for quite some time Biden isn't all there and flat out lied to everybody by saying they support him 100%, he's as mentally fit as anybody, sharp, intelligent etc. The dishonesty about it was so wrong. That's how smart they believe their voters are. Edited July 19 by john510 2 Quote Link to comment

That's how smart they believe their voters are. Of course they support Biden... until they don't! Support and party unity must be both preserved and evident to the voters. Hell the GOP has no other option and supports Trump and that must really wrangle them. Quote Link to comment

IZRL Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) May I add, so you think it's coincidence that this happened after a failed Trump assassination and months before the election. Sounds about right. It's become the norm right around election time. Microsoft/ Bill Gates just happened to have their biggest hiccup in their history right before, arguably the most important election ever. Edited July 19 by IZRL 1 Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) But since Biden is unfit to drive,let alone run our country,that'd be doing everyone a huge favor. On the other hand,if he doesn't step down,Trump's sure to win. Decisions,Decisions...... Maybe his staff could get him to campaign in Gaza? Edited July 19 by angliagt 1 Quote Link to comment
datsuntech Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Some details on what exactly has happened. First, there is no hack or cyber attack. You may hear that two companies are being blamed. Microsoft and CrowdStrike. Microsoft is not really to blame, they are only getting blamed because they have a monopoly on how many copies of Windows are in use around the world. The real company to blame is CrowdStrike. You have probably never heard of them before, but they are one of the largest software and network security vendors in the world. Yesterday they released an update to a piece of their software that caused Windows to blue screen and crash. This update was pushed out automatically to all their customers. The fix for this is to manually reboot each affected computer to recovery mode and manually delete a file and then reboot, and then let CrowdStrike’s software download a new update to make their software work again. This is going to take some time for all the systems worldwide to get fixed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes all of a sudden after the debate Biden was unfit for office. Not the day before or the week before or even two years ago. Just like that the Dems that propped him up for years turned on him and stabbed him in the back. What a pathetic party. 4 Quote Link to comment

Logical1 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 I am as dubious of just about everything that happens in the modern world not being a coincidence but IMO linking the internet outage to a political party (either/or) is straight up....
