It's been documented that Communist Chinese are hacking US social media and attempting to influence our 2024 elections.

I have no idea if City Data Forum is aware of this and monitoring any political posts coming from overseas, particularly China.

Most of the posts are describing Biden as Satan, etc and people in these forums are believing and re-posting these ideas including all the dis- and mis- information they contain.

US Chinese relationships are complicated but it is well known that Trump's America First policies could encourage China to invade Taiwan which is one of their goals. They also like the fact that he is attempting to destabilize our democracy by threatening elected officials who don't support him personally.

It's all of our civic duty not to post anything that's not true and also to not blame the current president for every single thing that happens, whether it be Trump or Biden or any other President. They are NOT supposed to be dictators!!! Our democracy runs on the voters and the checks and balances of houses of Congress. Packing the Supreme Court with those of only one political slant is also against the rules of our democracy- or at least it used to be!

You might want to start practicing what you preach about posting things that aren't true.

While you may not like the SCOTUS, all of the rules were followed.

One could argue that you are pushing Chinese misinformation about "court packing" and not being a democracy.

The US has aid and other such physical offices in many other countries whose main purpose is to train political operatives and influence and shape the entire system in the US-based globalist image.

Nothing new, really, since empires began thousands of years ago.

Posting here is fun, but I highly doubt that it has any significant influence on anything, especially these particular echo-chamber political theater forums.

Now some of the local and technical forums are actually helpful in real life as a practical matter.

Seems the left didn't realize that the Russia, Russia, Russia narrative didn't work, since they're now trying a China, China, China narrative. Our country meddles, other countries meddle, always have and always will, it's just a fact. People need to smarten up and not believe everything they see online.

You don't need to go to China for your political thoughts, all you need to do is open your eyes and watch things happen in real time.

Are you giving the mods a warning to monitor your postings?

Biden* is a "Satanist pedophile"? Well, Biden* pedophile yeah but not Satan. What makes you believe people are getting the idea that Biden* is a pedophile from China? All they have to do is watch the videos of him groping and sniffing little girls and see his own daughter's diary entry to get that idea. Many of these things had been seen long before Biden even ran for president...and none of it had come from China.

You're trying to the discussion to stop dissenting comments?

You advise others that it is their civic duty to not post anything negative about any current or past president which you neatly sandwich it in between your own negativity about Trump.


Btw, the only one who'd threatened to pack the SC was Biden*.


Just as with Russia, China prefers and wants Biden* to be president...both countries have 'millions' of reasons why they prefer it that way.

All of this propaganda about China and Russia etc.. influencing our elections is dumb when it seems that the Dems have it all locked up in this country. When you think about the Left wields so much influence especially on the Low Information voter types. They own and influence Social Media, Cable TV, Hollywood, Public Schools, Colleges, NPR radio and so many other outlets.



The fact is that China wasn't happy with Trump because he challenged them with Trade. Was it coincidence that Putin waited until Biden was in the WH before he invaded Ukraine? I don't think so.



There is no way that China or anyone else can influence any Voter one way or another when all we have to do is take a look around this country to see that Biden and the Dems lousy policies are wrecking this place.



Is it a crime of "Collusion" IF the Chinese merely point this out to us? China wants Biden so why would they go against him?

These days one's perceptions are one's truth..

And most of us have no clue of the origin of half the stuff we believe to be true. Whatever that is.

I wasn't expecting well considered comments or educated readers who vet their sources. What I got was the word "pedophile" which is nowhere in my post. NO one appeared to have read the link about Trump actively interfering with the way a state operates its election- to favor himself of course.

The whole thing is quite sad really. May these people get the president they deserve.

Maybe that's a Chinese curse.

That was from a quoted comment in the BI link that YOU had posted, a quote which you had intentionally altered to drop the word "pedophile" so that it would just read as 'Satan', for whatever reason you had in doing that...though I have a very good guess as to why you'd intentionally wanted to drop the word "pedophile" when talking about your gropey guy.

From your BI link:

The report described several Chinese government-linked accounts — sometimes referred to as "Spamoflage" — pretending to be avid Republicans and fans of former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, with some accusing Democratic President Joe Biden of being a "Satanist pedophile."

I do not need the Chinese to tell me about court packing in the USA. I have Mitch McConnell.
