(131,252 posts)Seems to me that these rando vidcasters' bombshells are mostly just wet farts advertised for clickbait.

(930 posts)99% of the videos are just click-bait bs that never goes anywhere.

Provide a summary.
Post it in the videos forum.

(17,764 posts)Like a time stamp of where pertinent information is, or a synopsis of what the video shows.
But I agree that the vast majority of them are "wet farts advertised for clickbait". I rarely take the time to watch.

(17,764 posts)How do I find the transcript?
RetiredParatrooper
(226 posts)Open the Youtube video. Below the video is the title, and below that is the creator's name. Under the creator is a box with the video description.
Usually, there will be a '...more' that you can click on.
Click.
The description box will expand, and if you scroll down you will see 'Transcript', and a button that says 'Show transcript'.
Click.
The transcript will appear on the tight of your screen, complete with time stamps.

(317 posts)I understand that these type of allegations have a tin foil hat ring about them. But can someone please explain to me why, in comparison, Trump's allegations of "rigged elections" are treated with kid gloves and allowed to hang out there and infect the electorate and the political dialogue. Even when the so called media mentions that there is absolutely no proof to them, and they have been thrown out of court - what 68 times? - it's always added as a throat clearing, sotte voce, post script to the main headline. Why the double standard?
We know that Trump always projects when he is attacking, and that he is corrupt as the day is long, so is it that hard to believe that he would try to rig the election?

(2,053 posts)To Trumps claims of stollen election usually had a disclaimer saying it was unproven and unfounded.
In this case, I have not seen any elected democrats make the claim the election was rigged or stolen. I certainly havent from Harris herself. My guess is the media would have made the same disclaimer if she or other democrats were saying that.

(2,158 posts)Trump has told us from the get-go that he'll do anything to get what he wants. Nobody even seems to believe the stories told by victims of trump. I believe the victims, I see no reason for them to make up these horrifying stories. Trump is a child rapist and a child murderer and if you can murder a child you can cheat in an election.
