Hey look! It's Round 2 of Ghot posts fake Twitter screenshots as though they're legit!

I know that you're not actually going to care that you post fake news, but I'm a petty homosexual who has nothing better to do. I went through all of HuffPost's Tweets on June 19th, and the Tweet you posted doesn't exist. No sites that archive deleted tweets have it either.

The link in the Tweet goes to a 404 page. The Tweet itself is merely a Photoshop'd copy of HuffPost's 2016 Tweet about Clinton and Trump.




Hey look, it's round 237 of someone who can't tell a joke from reality. As in the second pic.


/e Btw, the top half of the first pic is true... and was posted somewhere in here in 2016... https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=72969075&f=119

Nah fam. The only joke is you. You're the literal physical manifestation of the Boomer meme who posts Facebook memes unironically. You get informed by fake news left and right.

There were some awful models that were done. FiveThirtyEight has his chances going in at 23%, which is something that happens all the time. The NYT and the usual culprits pushed out ridiculous 99%+ figures with promises of a landslide.


Yea, it's a bit complicated. The popular vote was dead nuts correct. Here is 538's model: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

I think the issue is the swing states, with Wisconsin being the biggest miss. However, 16% chance is still within the realm of possibilities. I remember that the "now-cast" for 538 shot up to 80% or something like that once we started getting data from Pennsylvania. People flipped the fuck out and called it a shit model but if Pennsylvania suburbs were leaning towards Trump...shouldn't it follow that the rest of the rust belt might be swinging that way as well? Turns out, they were absolutely correct.

Here are some other models:
NY Times - Hillary 85%, Trump 15%: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/presidential-polls-forecast.html. I love this little tidbit here: Mrs. Clinton’s chance of losing is about the same as the probability that an N.F.L. kicker misses a 37-yard field goal.
Huff Po: Hillary 98% https://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2016/forecast/president
Daily Kos: Hillary 92% https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/11/8/1593119/-Daily-Kos-Election-2016-forecast-The-final-version (I actually know Drew Linzer)

I don't know of any other models off the top of my head. I think people like to laugh at Huff Po because they also said they weren't covering Trump anymore during the GOP primary lmao.

For like the 57th time... I don't go on facebook... ever. And the only time I go on twitter is to read what someone else linked.

Boomers aren't stupid enough to have twitter or facebook accounts. Just sayin.

Official Trump merch.

I'm having a harder and harder time explaining these away with "wow that's just a really dumb error".

either someone in the team really likes winking at Nazi symbology OR this really is a case of just a completely inept job on their media team.

NO, this is not similar to USMC or Presidential seal eagles. does that mean Hitler didnt really die in Germany and is actually still alive working behind the scenes with lab created organs and cyborg implants to play Trump like a marionette? No. what it means is either someone likes Nazi symbols or even several pending scandals aren't enough to teach the media team how to separate themselves from these "coincidences". They need to hire someone just to research Nazi symbols and cross check designs to avoid them. It's honestly worth paying some staffer 50k salary just for this job because this shit is embarrassing.

inb4 "that's not a Nazi eagle". its not holding scrolls or anything but a circle, it's facing right, it's bill isn't like American bald eagle symbology, etc. so don't @ me with that nonsense.

Its a case of TDS leftists thinking everything is secret nazism and dog whistles and gullible people believing it.

Its a royalty free stock image from a guy who makes 'holocaust remembrance', 'international migrants day' and 'love wins' images





Eagles holding things is racist fascism

but you said 'inb4' so lets pretend its nazism
Its a right-facing eagle so its extra fashy now. case closed

There's like half a dozen 'america first' eagle designs logos. There's only so many ways to display an eagle lol. It's a nazi dog whistle because the head is facing to the right?
