    This is the most amazing hack of all time. Don’t you see? They got Doom to run in Trump’s head.

      He’s scared that the Republicans are going to get swept in November and is desperately searching for a reason/way to block or cancel them.

      This seems like a joke but what is happening is fucking dangerous. The more desperate they get the more deadly the outcome.

    “we cant trust the electronic voting machines! Immigrants stuff paper ballots! You’re not allowed to mail in vote!”

    …sooooooooo how do we vote? Oh we just don’t and you decide who won I guess? That seems to be the goal.

    This is so fucking funny.

    I’ve been watching friends play Doom on any number of devices, including calculators and flippers and such, for decades.

      Yes, and to be fair it is a security breach. Sure there are memes. I’ve booted Doom on some stupid things in the past, just to see if I could. But national security isn’t the place for memes. If someone has managed to boot Doom on one of these, it means they accessed it with some sort of storage that was previously plugged into an external system.

      A dirty USB drive breaks any kind of air gaps that may have been implemented for security. Computers in secure military facilities are actually configured to instantly bluescreen whenever anyone plugs an unapproved device into them, (and you’ll quickly be surrounded by very grumpy soldiers who will not-so-gently “escort” you to your boss’ office before you get court martialed). The forced kernel panic (blue screen) is specifically to prevent a rogue device from accessing anything on the affected machine.

    Okay so what he’s saying is both times he was elected, it was wrong? Just saying, if there’s some ability to do this, and there’s some conspiracy here, why did he win twice?

      No, quite the opposite.

      He’s saying that his win in 2016 was fair, because Obama ran a fair election.

      But his loss in 2020 was unfair because he was in charge at the time. He was super corrupt and ran a corrupt election, so his loss was invalid.

      And then in 2024, Biden had managed to repair things and ran another fair election, so Trump’s 2024 win is valid.

      But now that 2026 is on the horizon, he’s now saying that his corruption will prevent another fair election, so when congress flips it will be invalid.

      He’s also saying that it’s his fault: he was in charge when the election was supposedly stolen. He won when Obama was running things, then again when Biden was. According to him, the election was stolen while he was running the government.
