Posts: 2682Yes, I do need more proof than that.
CheckMate has already answered your accusation with the links to related sources, but because some people have deep reading comprehension issues, allow me to pinpoint exactly why anyone with even half a brain would need "more proof than that".

2. A few days after, Khelif was abruptly disqualified by a shady organization called IBA run by Russian national and Putin's friend Umar Kremlev.
3. Khelif's disqualification meant that Amineva retained her undefeated status.
4. In 2022, after a series of scandals, the IOS permanently banished IBA from the Olympics.
What is the IBA? Governing body behind Olympic boxing storm has Russian ties, troubled historyThe most powerful organization in amateur boxing for decades is now governing a reduced roster of national federations while keeping up its fight with the IOC. Nearly three dozen nations, including nearly all of the prominent Western boxing teams, have taken the extraordinary step of leaving the IBA to form World Boxing, a new governing body, in a final attempt to keep boxing in the 2028 Olympics.
AIBAs final Olympic downfall was triggered about six years ago when it elected president Gafur Rakhimov, an Uzbek businessman described by the U.S. Treasury Department as an organized crime boss. Rakhimov, who denies those allegations, finally resigned in July 2019, a month after the IOC suspended ties.
The group changed its name and elected Kremlev, a Russian boxing functionary and an acquaintance of Russian President Vladimir Putin. That only made things worse between the IBA and the sections of the international boxing community not beholden to the bodys financial support, unlike many smaller boxing nations.
Kremlev introduced Russian state-controlled Gazprom as its biggest sponsor and moved much of the IBAs operations to Russia after he took over in late 2020. He also fought off a challenge to his leadership two years ago by essentially scrapping an election in highly dubious fashion.
This week, he (Kremlev) released a series of English-subtitled videos on social media packed with insults, saying the Olympics burns from pure devilry and calling Bach (IOC President) evil and urging him to resign urgently. Kremlev has ended some of them by saying hes sending Bach diapers so he doesnt soil himself, then punching the camera.

Posts: 7457Countdown to Georgia?
Harris has taken the lead on Nate Silver's Bulletin and we already know she is ahead in the decisive Battleground States of WI, MI snd PA on that site:
https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-si...on-polls-model
Harris has taken the lead in RealClearPolitics' 5-Way Consensus:
https://www.realclearpolling.com/pol...-stein-vs-west
And now Harris has taken the lead in WI, MI and PA on the new 538 Polling Site, with GA potentially coming on strong for her:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...ident-general/
In all probability, Georgia will flip to Harris after the people in Atlanta have had a chance to fully digest what they saw and heard at her and Trump's rallies there.
Until then, gee, it doesn't seem like some of the folks here who used to post about the polls all the time are all that into it anymore.

Posts: 7457He'll probably claim it's a Deep State Hoax or Hit. MAGA numbskulls will swallow it.
While President Joe Biden is still busy conceiving, spearheading, co-ordinating, leading and guiding unprecedented, difficult, nearly impossible, complex and complicated bi-partisan domestic and foreign policy negotiations and achievements, the twice impeached, multiple Felon, election fraudster, incoherently glitchy former president Donald Trump is also achieving something unprecedented that most historians thought impossible:
Ex-Trump White House officials, dozens of Republicans endorse Harris
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/04/trum...ndroidappshare
It is very likely there will be many more even more high profile former Trump Administration / White House officials and staffers endorsing Harris to follow this first wave. How could there not be? The USA Economy, domestic and international democracy, human rights and freedom depend on it.Vice President Kamala Harris campaign on Sunday flaunted over two dozen presidential endorsements from Republican party members, including some who served in former President Donald Trumps administration.
Nearly 30 GOP members were cited as part of the new Republicans for Harris initiative launched Sunday. These include Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary under Trump, and national security official Olivia Troye who worked as Vice President Mike Pences national security advisor. Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, Republican cabinet members under President Barack Obama, were also listed.
By publicly defecting on the Republican presidential nominee, these officials leave a target on their back for attacks from Trump.
"We have to purge the Party of people that go against our Candidates, and make it harder for a popular Republican President to beat the Radical Left Lunatics. Geoff Duncan is a loser who is disintegrating on his own," Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, referring to the former lieutenant governor of Georgia who has endorsed Harris.
The Harris campaigns new initiative targeting Republican voters comes two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Harris. Since then, the vice president has enjoyed a groundswell of early support in the form of record donations, volunteer sign-ups and a surge in the polls closing the voter gap against Trump.
Despite Harris initial momentum, she and Trump are still in tight race that could be decided by just a slim margin of voters in November. That statistical dead-heat is why the Harris campaign is targeting undecided Republicans within who may be persuadable against their partys nominee.
"Donald Trumps MAGA extremism is toxic to the millions of Republicans who no longer believe the party of Donald Trump represents their values and will vote against him again in November," said Austin Weatherford, the Harris campaigns national director of Republican outreach, in a memo.
"Vice President Harris and our campaign are working overtime to earn the support of my fellow Republicans who care about defending democracy and restoring decency," he added.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

You had an Olympic competitor who has trained for years if not decades and gets in the ring and she just quits for no reason? It is pretty obvious what happened is what she said happened. She was hit by a punch like she had never seen before like 3 X harder. What do the douches think? She is a wimp? Really?
I was on a soccer team in high school. We played the women's field hockey team and none of us had picked up a stick in our lives, and we beat them like 20 to 0. John McEnroe fell out of his chair laughing when asked if he could beat Martina Navratilova in tennis. Chris Evert was like, "Look, guys, McEnroe is not a sexist. My brother beats me all the time when we play. ".
But you look at Hollyweird and it is nauseating to see women and men fight. The women never lose. In Star Wars, the original series was about a young boy reaching his potential, having to work, being humiliated, facing his demons, smacked by reality, and then finally be triumphant. That is what it takes to be a successful man. In the second set, you saw how one guy, a decent guy, can become evil. Good stuff.
In the final set, we got the story of Rey Skywalker a woman who picks up a light saber and with no training is better than anyone. Men got so sick of these movie women who were better than men with no training, they came up with the term Becky.
You look at Princess Leia versus Rey Skywalker, and we all swooned over Princess Leia as kids. You were not watching the movies if you thought she was weak or submissive, but she was a realistic portrayal of a great woman.
Rey Skywalker? Rey is unlike any woman I know. She is a feminist fantasy, and the thing about it is if you had to pick a Becky, a Rey Skywalker in real life, you would come up with Kamala Harris. She has not earned shit. She has just showed up.
The latest scandal with Harris is that her husband fucked and got the family nanny pregnant when married to his first wife. And? Oh, you mean we are supposed to believe that a woman who sucked her way to the top is not using marriage as a political prop? This black / Indian /75% white woman is "in love" with this super white Jewish entertainment lawyer? Kamala Harris literally has no morals so I do not know why anyone would expect morals from her political prop husband. Scandal? It is what I would expect from someone marrying her.
Ram, but you got to admit that this Olympic fight is pretty symbolic. This is what is going to happen to Kamala if she steps in the ring with Xi or Putin. It is going to be that ugly. The only chance we have is if she gives them the Willie Brown treatment, but I have a feeling Putin and Xi already have way better than her.

AP laid out time tine and background to this story.
Perhaps before one regurgitates info they heard from the convict or other siloed sources, do a little google search, and look for confirmation of story from other sources.

Posts: 7457I guess Glitch is the new Last Stage of Dementia.
I just know actor Kevin Costner will post an open letter in Breitbart any minute now begging Trump to drop out over this.
And every pundit and anchor in Mainstream Media will surely speak of this in hushed tones of grave concern for the welfare of America every hour of every day until Trump's poll numbers take a minimal dip and the dumb Repub hillbilly donations dry up, seriously hindering down ballot Repubs' chances of competing, who will also line up to request he drop out for the sake of democracy.
Then, for the benefit of America, to Make America Great Again, Trump will finally drop out and hand the top of the ticket spot to hetero-sectional VP candidate Vance.
Right? Lolol.
Donald Trump 'Glitching' During Rally Sparks Speculation.
Aug. 4, 2024
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...lation-1934276
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump,78, stumbled over phrases at a campaign rally on Saturday, sparking speculation about his cognitive abilities from critics on social media.
Speaking at a rally in Atlanta on Saturday night, the former president slurred and mispronounced "wrecking" as "reckting," "mobs" as "marbs" and said "place" instead of "police" before correcting himself.
"Together we will stop Kamala Harris' nation reckting...I'll tell you what...," he said before changing the subject, and then later "She will not stop, she said she was endorsing defund the place, and, the police, and she said violent marbs, let the violent mobs keep going."
Newsweek has contacted Trump's campaign via email for comment outside business hours.

Posts: 7457So, now rappers are refusing to appear at Trump's rallies for fear of having to submit their birth certificate, a DNA test, photos of their parents, cranium, facial and body measurement reports to The Great Race / Ethnicity / Appearance / Religion Detective, Donald J. Trump, for his approval?

Sad.
Why did Trump spend so much time complaining about the swaths of empty seats in the auditorium if "every seat was filled" as that overly effusive Trump fan boy in your link claimed?
https://youtu.be/X9DeoeNitpY?si=WOoeg73USJwm1HeQ
It turns out to be much easier to lie about crowd size at those rallies when they are staged outdoors in public parks, public beaches, public fairgrounds, roadside fields, etc where passersby and daytrippers are likely to show up anyway, might be drawn by curiosity to the source of the loud music and shouting along with arial photos to "support" the claim than in those enclosed environments and venues.
But then everyone faces a higher risk of being shot and killed by a Loony Repub with an AR-15 practically bought and handed to him or her at birth thanks to Repub Party Family Values policy. So there is that major downside.

Ok, we'll take that as No, neither Biden nor Harris sent a SWAT Team to Mar-a-Lardo.

https://people.com/politics/why-call...ng-polarizing/
And, no, Trump did not die as a result of that FBI search despite his later claim that he only "nearly escaped death". He wasn't even there at the time, according to prior arrangement. And the FBI search followed the same standard procedure followed in the search of Biden's property:
FACT FOCUS: Trump distorts use of deadly force language in FBI document for Mar-a-Lago search.
https://apnews.com/article/fact-chec...f108e4911f191e
Also, at this point in time, Joe Biden is still the President of the United States of America and still leading, co-ordinating and completing complex, complicated and unprecedentedly successful historic multi-national foreign policy negotiations and accomplishments as well as historic bi-partisan economic achievements no Repub and especially Trump was ever capable of accomplishing.
Meanwhile, VP Harris is involved in those as well but not in the clear and unanimously agreed upon leadership level that Biden is. She splits her time between that and chasing Donald Trump through one typically cowardly Trumpian dodge and Big Lie flaming hoop on the campaign trail. Beating him in the polls on that count, too.

Race has no place in politics!
The first time I went to the a country on the African Continent the name of the country was South Africa still during the days of Apartheid. When I arrived the customs agent did not tell me I could only operate in the designated homelands. He said, welcome to South Africa you are our guest. So, I am out in the country and I go into the store to buy something and ask for it. The store clerk asks: Are you American?. They did not say, welcome back my brother.
When I goto Colombia I present a my passport. My passport is issued by the United States of America. They say to me: enjoy your visit.
When I goto the Dominican Republic I present my passport. My passport is issued by the United Staes of America. They say to me: enjoy your visit.
When I return to the United States of America. I present my passport. I get sent to secondary. Not riding dirty so I clear. But I miss my flight. I finally make it to my destination. I collect my bags and exit the airport. First thing I hear is: n***** go home. Shit! I was born in dis mother fucker. Where am I suppose to go? Where am I? Pulaski, Tennessee.
Racial division serves the economic interested of the Plutocracy of the United States of America. Not a means of economic control and suppression (although it does serve that purpose) but as a distraction from the gross inequities of wealth distribution in the United States of America.
