  1. almost, but not

    almost, but not 
    everything is 
    rigged, so we tell 
    ourselves as we fold 
    up the new york 
    times’s athletic 
    section for the 
    third and final 
    time, knowing that 
    the winner is always 
    the one that drives 
    the predictions, 
    watching, waiting

  2. If Democrats are secretly manipulating voting machines, they may want to request a refund.
    Their operation has produced the peculiar result of repeatedly electing Republicans, handing Trump two presidential victories and leaving the alleged masterminds of the conspiracy standing outside the halls of power wondering where their rigging went wrong

  3. Ultimately, #Republican “leaders” were forced to abandon the rest of the week’s schedule & send lawmakers home for the Independence Day recess earlier than planned & without the accomplishing anything.

    It was the latest flare-up of a fight in the #GOP over Trump’s demand that #Congress deliver him a sweeping measure to crack down on #mail-in #voting & impose strict new #VoterRegistration & ID requirements.

    THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED.

    If you are poor, starting a buisness to escape poverty is near impossible. And that's intentional; You're instantly buried in mountains of 'red tape', expensive permits, and compliance laws designed to break you.

    That endless bureaucracy isn't 'safety'; It's economic gatekeeping, it's designed to keep you poor while the rich only get richer.

  5. So, if we called this a "prediction market" where you could use your skills and knowledge to try to ~~win~~ earn money, but you kept seeing shadowy figures in hats and dark glasses come out of a door marked "Staff Only", move to a table, place a large bet, win handsomely, and then immediately disappear through the Staff Only door again, would you consider it a safe place to ~~play~~ invest your money?

    Or would you look around, realize you can't spot the sucker, and recognize that that means you're the sucker?

    These things absolutely should be illegal in Canada.

  6. The report, produced by the #ODNI [oh boy, that’s now #BillPulte], concludes that #VotingMachines could be further safeguarded by, for example, updating their software, the sources said. It does NOT say the vulnerabilities have led to votes flipping, but examines security gaps in how the machines are used during #US #elections.

  7. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j. "Donald #Trump walked out of an #interview with NBC’s Meet the Press after he repeatedly made #false #claims that the 2020 #presidential #election was #rigged & faced questions about #compensation for those charged in the January 6 #insurrection... Trump falsely claimed that the #California #gubernatorial race was 'rigged' while asserting untrue claims of #cheating in the 2020 #US presidential election."

  8. Canada is a the world leader in rigged markets that pander to MBA fck-wits: “If I was WestJet’s CEO, I would not want any competition. I would want to make it as monopolistic or duopolistic for maximizing profit,” he told the Star.

  9. #Funfact Of the 8 #trumptarded voter data lawsuits claiming the Presidential election #DrumpfLost to #Biden were #RIGGED, half were in cases overseen by #GOP judges appointed by duh #DonaldInDenial.

    Thursday’s dismissals bring the record so far to 0-8 out of the 31 spurious so far conspiracy theorist lawsuits brought via Todd Blanche's minions against our own US states and the city of Washington, D.C

  10. The recruits are being offered signing bonuses, the opportunity to work from home, & even the flexibility to keep their day jobs & moonlight as judges after hours. New hires can earn up to $207,500 a year and 25 percent signing bonuses in some Democrat led-states such as California.

  11. The firings come as the #Trump admin is simultaneously implementing policies that make it more difficult for immigrants to prevail in court. Under new orders from the #DOJ’s Board of #Immigration Appeals, judges have been refusing to grant bond hearings & are dismissing cases at the govt’s request so that defendants can be arrested. They are also being advised to grant #asylum more sparingly. Asylum rejections doubled from 2024 to 2025.

  12. The hiring spree follows the #DOJ’s firings of >100 #immigration judges since #Trump took office, an unprecedented #purge, & a similar number have retired or resigned. >140 new judges have been appointed so far to replace them, many of whom have NO stated experience practicing #ImmigrationLaw &, according to the National Association of Immigration Judges, are receiving less training than previously offered.

  13. #Trump officials hire ‘#deportation judges’ with less training, experience & hella-sketchy track records

    
Trump is remaking #courts to clear a backlog of #asylum cases. Hires include an attorney for #Jan6 rioters, a lawyer who championed #Minneapolis #ICE raids, a divorce lawyer who has vowed to “fight exclusively for the rights of men,” & a judge who denied a #gay Serbian man #humanitarian protection because he didn’t look “overtly gay.”

  14. What marginalised groups long knew – that “the #system is #rigged” – is now widely felt. Across #Europe, frustration with rising living costs, insecure livelihoods, and a sense that political and economic institutions no longer serve them is fuelling urgency and openness to new ideas. People are asking existential questions about their future and showing greater appetite for bold alternatives,’ said the report. 

  15. City get a home game and we’re away. It never changes. #rigged

  16. Since its peak last fall, Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has lost almost half its value. Nearly $2 trillion of wealth has evaporated from the global crypto market since October. We have one question. What took so long? Outside of crimes and scams, the technology is useless, and its economics are even worse.

  17. Everything is fine.

    "Most Americans say that they can afford basic necessities like their current housing costs, groceries, utilities and gasoline. But large numbers across income levels also say larger expenses and the cost of things associated with an enjoyable life — including taking a weeklong vacation — are out of reach"
