This Election Is Being Rigged – But Not by Hillary Clinton

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump established what's alleged to have been an entirely fraudulent "university." He has a hard-earned reputation for screwing over contractors and investors, a long history of hanging out with mobsters and has been named a defendant in 1,450 lawsuits. And yet he's dubbed his opponent, who's been subjected to dozens of investigations that all came up with bupkis, "Crooked Hillary." No candidate in history has taken projection to such remarkable lengths.

But an even more impressive example of projection can be found in Trump's constant claims that this election is being "rigged" for Hillary Clinton. There do seem to be a lot of actors trying to manipulate the outcome – or at least having that effect – but they're all lined up behind the guy who won't stop whining about election-rigging.

It's unclear whether WikiLeaks is actually in cahoots with the Russian government. But Reuters reported this week that U.S. intelligence officials are investigating "a campaign they believe is backed by the Russian government to undermine the credibility of the U.S. presidential election."

Meanwhile, a small town in Macedonia called Veles has become a "global hub for pro-Trump misinformation," according to BuzzFeed. The village of 45,000 people hosts 100 websites that spew Facebook-shareable nonsense about the election – and Hillary Clinton's many "crimes."

1. I was just about to post my own theory on this.

Trump and his propaganda masters have accused Clinton of everything they themselves have done or are guilty of doing. (Or, just pretended to they're going to fight against everything that Trump is: elitist, bully, cheater, etc. The lastest astoundingly Orwellian move being King Bully's wife making an anti-bullying speech.)

This constant harping on election rigging by Dems seems to me to be a clear sign of their own rigging activity. I don't say they do this as psychological projection--though there's certainly some of that going on--but as a cynical propaganda move.

2. He's sort of shut up about that, now, though- since he thinks he has a chance.

I was thinking that might be one sliver of a silver lining to the FBI shit- it will make it harder for him to claim it was stolen, when he loses.
