Judging by the online summaries.
The 2020 election was subject to interference from Chy-na. The system is broken, millions of people voted who shouldn't have and they'll do it again unless we stop them.
(subtext is any result in Midterms that isn't a Republican majority is worthless)

From CNN re the dump of declassified documents produced as evidence now on White House website
The documents are part of an attempt by the Trump administration to make the case that foreign countries are aggressively interfering with US elections. It’s worth noting that Trump has spent nearly a decade denying the unanimous conclusions from many of these same intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the 2016 election.

Aha! Schrodingers declassified documents!

BruceAndNosh · 17/07/2026 02:54

I think we should worry more about the US Government interfering in elections rather than foreign governments...

Ach. I can't get it. But looks like the bingo card got a few.

Ahh, CNN have a text feed now. So that means all the worst of the madness is sanitised. So yeah. Commie plot. Chyna.... against him.

Total bollocks of course. Because Chyna, as in the Communist Party of China, wanted Trump to win. As did Putin. And I would guess Iran and the DPRK Because he is like a God send to the authoritarians. Yeah I know, the CPC are atheist.

It is all well documented. Why else was Trump so keen to get control of TikTok. It's all about discord and sowing distrust in democratic systems. Exactly what he is doing now.

And it really does make me wonder. Is he doing this for free for them ? Is he really so thick that he thinks this damages the CPC ? I mean really... Jesus wept... did Uncle Xi give him special secret gold CPC membership card ? Member number 1 ?

In the category of 'horrifying but nor surprising' the ICE agent who killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.

Seventeen percent.

That is how much of humanity alive on earth today live under the full control of the CPC. No elections, no political parties, no democracy. No self determination at all.

And that dumb fuck in the Whitehouse is empowering the CPC.

Have a look at this PRC State Media article from 2021. Explaining, why the Party is good, US democracy bad.

And how the orange turd wants to hog the world airwaves to make an announcement .... that US democracy is bad/ corrupt/ broken/ crap.

Goebbels Barbie is back then.

And this wee snip from what she said at the podium is worth a look.

"This past weekend alone, ICE arrested a Mexican national and gang member convicted of second degree murder in California, a Dominican national convicted of aggravated manslaughter in New Jersey, a Saudi national convicted of indecent liberties with a child in North Carolina, a Mexican national convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child in California, a Nicaraguan national convicted of second degree child molestation in Rhode Island, and a Mexican national convicted of lewd acts with a child under 14 with force in California."

All terrible crimes. And it is fantastic that ICE are out there, protecting society from these terrible people. I had a look at the DHS website to check on what their status was before ICE got them off the US streets. But these ones Goebbels Barbie mentioned are not on the latest "worst of the worst" list. I wonder why ?

Ahh yes. Because look at what she said. MAGATS should. Because they are already convicted. And on previous occasions when she has named people ICE have arrested, it has been easy enough to look them up and find out THEY ARE ALREADY IN JAIL. Mostly with deportation orders already, for when they finish their sentence.

ICE just go into the jails, arrest them, and SET THEM FREE in their home countries. Or in some cases I previously found, they just bus them into Mexico and dump them there.

So if you are a convicted child molester with 10 years left to spend in Jail, just phone ICE. They will bus you across the border and set you free.

So maybe when Goebbels Barbie says this (as she did in the same press conference) - " And our law enforcement professionals, God bless them, are arresting criminal illegal aliens across the country, including those convicted of the most heinous and violent crimes.", maybe she is Christian after all. Turning the other cheek and all that.

Speech: Donald Trump Delivers a Primetime Address to the Nation - July 16, 2026 — Trump Archive (trump-archive.com)

A couple of bits -

"... reveals that members of the Deep State -- a very, very famous group of people, in many cases -"

"And the reason they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was wise to them. Charged them billions and billions of dollars' worth of tariffs"

"....this is a group of bags that were used to destroy information, given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned, it was supposed to be burned."

" our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack. "

"...corrupt Maduro regime in Venezuela, and that's exactly what happened conspiring to digitally rig their own country's elections in 2020. And that's what they did."

"Took a month to count the votes. I wonder what they were doing. This is worse than any third world country. There's no third world country that has elections like we have."

"They want to protect the radical left. "

"All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty in reporting".

The transcript might be what he was scripted to say, but it's not actually what he said. He definitely said "in formation" which is distinctly different from "information". The transcript has really cleaned up his ramblings

I think that transcript is auto generated... so it does lose some of the choice bits.

I don't think the voice recognition would work on my Scottish accent. Ken whit ah mean ?

So a load of complete and utter made up rubbish then.

Again, how the hell are ordinary Americans letting him get away with these blatant attacks on them, their country, and their democracy?

Do you know what that is? FREEDOM FUEL!
A pair of New Jersey businessmen — including an NFL assistant coach — with connections to Republican politics were involved in forming a mysterious network of Philadelphia-area gas stations offering discount prices, according to a document obtained by POLITICO.
Baltimore Ravens senior special teams coach Randy Brown and former commodities trader Yoni Gontownik signed the certificate of formation to incorporate the Freedom Fuels Network LLC on June 23, just a week before President Donald Trump touted it on social media.

The network of 25 stations offered discounts of up to 50 cents per gallon around Independence Day, prompting questions as to who was behind the effort and how it could sell gas well below market rate in the area. Despite promoting the network, the White House has declined to reveal who is behind it, saying only that it is a private company willing to take a hit on its profit margins to help American drivers struggling with high prices following the war in Iran.

Though I guess pay for play is only allowed if the trump family & friends do it.

Trump's teleprompter operator has been placed on administrative leave, Leavitt says

Trump's teleprompter operator is on unpaid administrative leave after allegedly making more than $90,000 by betting on Trump's remarks using the prediction market Kalshi.
Leavitt announced during the White House press briefing that the aide was on leave, saying that Trump was aware of the situation and found it to be "deeply unfortunate and frankly, a disgrace."
Leavitt said the teleprompter operator has been cooperating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
"There will be a teleprompter operator tonight, of course, but it will not be the one, unfortunately, in that story," Leavitt said, referring to the president's speech this evening.
Later, responding to another question about the allegations against the aide, Leavitt said that the situation “played out exactly how it should,” noting that Kalshi had notified the CFTC.
"They investigated that, identified the individual, and he will now no longer be working at the White House," she said.

Can't have someone outside the circle doing the same as them and giving the game away.

I was just going to post something similar.
Their hypocrisy is off the scale.

I'm not going to watch his 'address' but have got the main points thanks to PPs on here.

Wondering whether one of the reasons he insisted on a National tv appearance is because he's low on big ticket appearances now that the 250, birthday and G7 spotlights on him have gone out. Still got the World Cup on Sunday tho' - if he turns up... don't think the Spanish fans will be appreciative.

Yup. I cut and pasted the transcript into a word processor, and of the 33954 words in it, the word "Russia", appears once.

"As one assessment states, we judge that the United States' adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure."

TiredCatLady · 17/07/2026 09:22

Another deranged rant to try and discredit election results. More threats to Iranian infrastructure.

Everyone ready for the Friday Market Manipulation back pedal?

SerendipityJane · 17/07/2026 10:12

If foreign governments have interfered in US elections then maybe we need to look wider. Is the Brexit vote valid ? And the 2017 and 2019 UK elections ? Especially 2017 with it's non-majority government.

Trump is asking other countries to join in the instability, it seems. Much like his Iran adventure.

RedTagAlan · 17/07/2026 14:49

China replied to Trump. And here it is:

"In response to US President Donald Trump's claim in a speech that China had interfered in US elections, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on July 17 that the allegation was entirely fabricated and a malicious smear that has long been proven groundless.

Lin said that China has always upheld the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and has neither any interest in nor ever interfered in US elections. In contrast, the international community knows full well who habitually interferes in other countries' internal affairs, indiscriminately conducts long-term surveillance of governments, businesses and ordinary citizens around the world, and steals foreign citizens' data on a massive scale.

"We urge the US side to reflect on its own conduct, stop making baseless accusations against China, refrain from using China as an election issue, and do more to promote China-US relations," Lin said."

And that's it. Totally as expected.

They can just change a few words and wheel it out again next week, and the week after. And while they do that, they will likely put out totally unrelated articles about controls on rare earths. Because while Trump might think he is the first Gangster POTUS, when it comes to being an actual mafia like authoritarian dictator, he does not have a fucking clue.

FIFA says 🍊💩 will be at the WC final on Sunday.

Leavitt told reporters that she did not know which team Trump was supporting in the final.
^^
“I’m sure he’ll have a fun answer for you,” she told reporters.
Leavitt also said Trump will attend a Fifa reception at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday. **Soccer’s governing body opened an office in the building last year.

**Well, of course they did.
