They’re scum. No idea why such an article was ranked here.

Guilt by association? Have you looked at that site? Here’s an excerpt from an adjacent article: “Is it common sense to open the borders of your country and then to spend truckloads of taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and nurture the millions of illegal migrants who have poured in?”
Every other article fellates Trump and talks about how Tucker Carlson showed us that Jan 6 was peaceful and other unhinged if not outright bad faith writing. Jesus fucking christ, talk about common sense…

We speak of the Wild West as “lawless”. I assure you there were very much laws against murder and theft then. They just had sporadic enforcement. Much as roads and highways are in many parts of the country. In California I see racing, 100mph driving, weaving like mad. In the ride home from the airport I watched teenagers race and crash. Drunk driving all over wine country. Never once saw anyone like this pulled over.

Something tells me you can’t believe this nonsense you’re spewing. You’re attributing the greatest economic boom the world has ever seen, not to being the sole winner and survivor of WWII, but because the borders were tightened. You must be a troll.

Yes, we will lose our first amendment rights if people can’t get rich off of telling obvious lies and slander against grieving parents. Look at yourself in the mirror and try again.

Curious to see if this conviction continues with any election fraud. I hear that a lot but sounds like this was a cut and dry hush money case.

I get it, and never post that. In this case, due to conflicts of interest, I think it is justified.

Why is this being downvoted? Are these bots, or have the downvoters not even listened to the links? There is not only resemblance in the “attitude” of the voice, but in the overall timbre.

This article is a paid hit-piece. Trumpian language and all: “people are saying—very good people, the best people—that the voice wasn’t copied. It was a perfect call.” It is so obvious that her voice was stolen, and they are paying to try to cover it up.

Ask it for an image or for some text. Then cross-check. Many times you can see: it doesn’t make stuff up, it steals and remixes. Same thing here.

No kidding. I get the sentiment but the argument doesn’t hold water. A scam is a scam. There are big scams and small. There are lies big and small too. We can even call the small ones white lies. But they are still lies.

Strange hill to die on. Lots of people scam by expecting to right their wrongs in the end. Hell even Theranos may have believed with enough scam money they could eventually have made right with the tech. Still a scam. Same here. If it’s not what you’re selling, it’s a lie, and a lie is a scam.
