Maybe Trump Did Cheat

Phage making a thread does that. Also flags do not mean people agree with the op.

You're misunderstanding.

I'm talking about a statistical anomaly here.

The OP is speculative yet likely, that's a factor.
It's mudslinging, another factor.
It's late night Wednesday...

These theoretically should only generate a typical weekday flagging patterns.

Phage being the author seems to be an unimportant factor, his ratio for this is perhaps 5%. Which is still a good hit rating actually.

Therefore: Anomaly.

On ATS anomaly generally = aliens!

a reply to: muzzleflash

Wow going low accusing folk on Ats.
Same tactic when Clinton wins eh? claim cheating.

a reply to: muzzleflash

It's definitely odd, we've seen other posts and threads about trumps taxes and they don't pull this many flags. It was quite a jump too. It went from mid 20s to 120+.

Phage you have to agree that it's a bit odd considering the subject matter and how right leaning ats is. I don't think you have anything to do with it, its just a weird anomaly. I mean cmon 120+ flag for a small paragraph about trumps taxes and no revelations in 15 pages..

I watched it climb to 60 or so then was gone for a while. When I next logged, couple hours later it was up there (not sure where).

I chalked it up to primetime. Maybe it was aliens.

I think it's a pretty cool thread though.

No, I accused people not on ATS in one of my postulations.

My secondary concept proposal involved people usually not on ATS.

I explicitly apologized to Phage and exclaimed he wasn't the subject of my fascination.

4chan...it was 4Chan...

I'm not blaming anyone man, I just noticed it earlier today and someone said they noticed the same thing so I posted.

Maybe it's the Russians... Or a 400lb hacker in his parents basement.. Lol

Edit.. OK so I ended up blaming someone...

a reply to: PlasticWizard

The Russians are on Donald's side.

I think many are hard to choose which one is the least disliked.

a reply to: PlasticWizard

I'm a possible non-voter this go round, bud.
For President, that is.

a reply to: dragonridr

It's a matter of who will do the least amount of damage in 4 years until we get another crack at this president thing. They are both just terrible..

a reply to: Phage

I'm a definite non voter.

I don't want to contribute to the false paradigm of believing in these fantasies.

a reply to: muzzleflash

In the past I've managed to come up with some sort of reason to vote for one or the other.
Not there this time. Yet. But Trump is way off the radar.

a reply to: Phage

I'm afraid that this mud slinging circus is what we have to look forward to election wise from here on out. At least until propaganda through the media is illegal again.

a reply to: PlasticWizard

Yeah. We need to bring back the USSR. Good times.




Wait, which propaganda?

a reply to: Phage

The only person I'd vote for is me.
I Trust me, most of the time.

I did vote once in 99 Bush vs Gore. I don't like to talk about that. That election taught me a valuable lesson about how it all works.

I'm reluctant to admit I voted for Gore. But isn't it ironic the Bush pushed the wars (hence actual real life gore)? Ok stupid joke... I'll shut up now.

a reply to: Phage

Well, I consider the CIS and it's subdivision the CSTO the modern iteration of the USSR. It's difficult to gauge the differences in power, there's too many factors.

Oh and this election cycle is really bizarre in a lot of ways.

Note that the Repubs are bundled with the Russians, a completely nontraditional pairing, and the Islamic factions, which are politically very conservative and hardline against Dems basic policy ideals, are being grouped together.

It is an uncanny juxtaposition. I think the media must be manipulating it on purpose as this big self contradictory joke.

a reply to: muzzleflash

A joke? I don't get it.

But you know, if nothing else, Trump has shaken things up. That's a good thing.

Him for President? That's not a good thing.
