3. I dunno... Even Mike Johnson is saying it.... and Musk is spreading it

These lies grow and grow and grow.... and if they keep repeating a lie people start believing it.... stupid people that is.

Everyone knows instinctively that Mike Johnson is a corrupt puppet of the Trump administration too, so can we just get rid of him on vague vibes?

On Sunday, the billionaire and key GOP donor boosted several posts that were questioning the results of the mayoral election and baselessly suggesting that Democrats were engaged in fraud. On Sunday, Musk first reshared a post by venture capitalist and Sequoia Partner Shaun Maguire, which read: “It takes a conspiracy theorist. To believe California’s election is secure.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO then boosted several posts that tried to claim that Raman’s performance was a “statistical impossibility”—even though Los Angeles is a deeply blue city—and that itself suggests evidence of fraud. The billionaire also reshared an X user’s question to Grok, amplifying a conspiracy that Pratt had received 0 votes amid a major overnight drop of 24,000 ballots—even though the post he was citing already had an X community note citing a DOJ statement disproving it. Musk also suggested that it would be a “worthwhile exercise” to interview “1000 homeless people” in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Skid Row and ask them who they had voted for.
