There's still time, or, Fake News™ from the failing Washington Post.

'Trump weighs firing FBI director after election as frustration with Wray, Barr grows'
President Trump and his advisers have repeatedly discussed whether to fire FBI Director Christopher A. Wray after Election Day — a scenario that also could imperil the tenure of Attorney General William P. Barr as the president grows increasingly frustrated that federal law enforcement has not delivered his campaign the kind of last-minute boost that the FBI provided in 2016, according to people familiar with the matter.

...

In the campaign’s closing weeks, the president has intensified public calls for jailing his challenger, much as he did for Hillary Clinton, his opponent in 2016. Trump has called Biden a “criminal” without articulating what laws he believes the former vice president has broken.

People familiar with the discussions say Trump wants official action similar to the announcement made 11 days before the last presidential election by then-FBI Director James B. Comey, who informed Congress he had reopened an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state after potential new evidence had been discovered.

Trump emphasized the point in an interview Tuesday with Fox News, saying “we’ve got to get the attorney general to act” and that Barr should do so “fast.” The president was alluding to information about Hunter Biden recently touted by Trump’s private lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and based on the contents of a laptop computer purportedly belonging to the former vice president’s son.

“This is major corruption,” Trump added, “and this has to be known about before the election.”

An interesting article on the motivations and ramifications of possible attempts by both Iran and Russia to influence the election:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-22/ ... e/12802922

Right at the end:
It's possible that Iran is just planning to spam voters with frightening material in the leadup to the election to create general unrest.

We may see a second misinformation campaign directed at Republican voters between now and the election.

Russia may get in on this act as well, spreading misinformation to allege that the election itself is a sham, as they have done in several European elections and referendums.

The aim may be to make sure that whoever wins, they will face an incredibly divided nation.

But they will probably get that wish even if they turn off their computers and just watch America take care of that on its own.

I thought the FBI was part of the "Deep State" :ask: which Trump is valiantly trying to bring down with the help of Q.

I think the Deep State is whatever Trump thinks it is on whatever day he thinks about it.

Trump will only accept one result any other will be fraud. He has made that clear. He will push the country into a greater chaos and declare martial law.

Indeed. His campaign are already saying that the only legitimate result will be the one where he wins the election.

This is actually true. Republicans are better at convincing cat ladies and birdfeeder ladies (they feed wild birds birdseed and goodies all year) that Democrats want to kill babies:
It does seem a little bit late. I mean, if the miracle Trump comeback happens, this is something about which they can get a lot of retroactive criticism. I mean, they kept saying that everything we’re doing digitally is fine, it more than makes up for in-person canvassing, which is overrated to begin with. Maybe that is true and they just felt like they had to do canvassing because they want to cover themselves in case something goes wrong in order to show that they put everything else on the field eventually. But it is something that gave Republicans a little bit of help registering new voters.

If the cat lady is safe and secure, democrats have a hard time convincing her Trump is killing migrant birds (he is). If seh is an Audubon member, then she is already a Democrat.

But you said that Trump has it sown up (thanks to the EC and apparently paying the Russians). Have you lost track of the conspiracy theories you were peddling? :ask:

Latinos targeted:

A Florida radio station aired views that a victory by Biden “would mean that the US would fall into a dictatorship led by Jews and Blacks”.

Messages that paint Joe Biden as a socialist spreading among latinos.
