sense is about to land in the next couple days. This POS has a TELL,and that is he will circle back to anything Hillary or Vote Totals when it comes to a Court Ruling over Election Meddling or his Crime Family.

El Paso and the Dipstick's Responses and Actions as well as the Kiddie Cages are cutting his legs off.

Ted Lieu explained it pretty well in a hearing earlier this year: To paraphrase: if you don't want bad stuff coming up in your google search results, don't do bad stuff.

On 9 June 2016, the Youtube news channel SourceFed published a video in which they accused search engine giant Google of manipulating results in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:

While researching for a wrap-up on the June 7 Presidential Primaries, we discovered evidence that Google may be manipulating autocomplete recommendations in favor of Hillary Clinton. If true, this would mean that Google Searches aren’t objectively reflecting what the majority of Internet searches are actually looking for, possibly violating Google’s algorithm. According to a research paper cited in this video, that kind of search result manipulation has the potential to substantially influence the outcome of actual elections.

While the claims posited in the video displayed above may sound like the workings of a conspiracy theorist, SourceFed didn’t fudge any of its evidence. We double checked the videos findings and confirmed that Google does return different results than Bing and Yahoo for searches such as “Hillary Clinton Cri” and “Hillary Clinton Ind.” For instance, Google completes the search “Hillary Clinton Cri” as “Hillary Clinton Crime Reform”, while Bing and Yahoo complete the search as “Hillary Clinton Criminal Charges” and “Hillary Clinton Criminal.” Google provides this result despite the fact that “Hillary Clinton Crime Reform” is a less popular term on Google Trends.

However, that does not mean that Google is manipulating search results in favor of the Democratic presidential candidate. Google’s autocomplete function uses a variety of factors, including the popularity of a search term, to determine results. Furthermore, Google has also said in statements that its autocomplete does not provide offensive or disparaging results when partnered with a person’s name:

It's quite a leap to think if someone found 'crime reform' instead of 'criminal investigation' in a Google search (for example), that they would then vote for Clinton instead of Trump based on that alone.

It's absurd, of course.

WHAT IS EASIER TO BELIEVE:

1. There is a huge conspiracy to make Donald Trump look like an idiot, led by the media, intelligence community, scholars, and his own words.....

2. Donald Trump is an idiot.


Every day his tweets demonstrate the correct choice.
