Trump and allies ratchet up disinformation efforts in late stage of campaign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

For President Trump and his allies, it was a week spent spreading doctored and misleading videos.

On Aug. 30, the president retweeted footage of a Black man violently pushing a White woman on a subway platform under the caption, “Black Lives Matter/Antifa” — but the man was not affiliated with either group, and the video was shot in October. White House social media director Dan Scavino shared a manipulated video that falsely showed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden seeming to fall asleep during a television interview, complete with a fake TV headline.

And Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the second-ranking House Republican, released a video splicing together quotes from activist Ady Barkan — who has Lou Gehrig’s disease and uses computer voice assistance — to falsely make it sound as if he had persuaded Biden to defund police departments.

For the president and his top supporters, it was a campaign push brimming with disinformation — disseminating falsehoods and trafficking in obfuscation at a rapid clip, through the use of selectively edited videos, deceptive retweets and false statements.

Trump drained the swamp and emptied his septic tank into it.

1. The only ones buying is the base. The failure of his campaign- nothing beyond the base!

2. The Pelosi hair salon set up was another instance

Republicans are going to try every trick in the book to depress voter turnout and to sow disinformation and confusion. They have no record to run on, and they're in trouble. We need to stay cool, work hard, counter the bullshit, and get voters to the polls. There's a sea change election coming in eight weeks.
