If he was ever going to follow through with it at all (doubtful), it was a hollow pledge that wouldn't have affected most of the tipped income or helped most tipped workers in the country anyways:

Now things that Harris proposes like re expanding the child tax credit (refundable meaning paid out even if the person doesn't pay taxes) could provide a huge boost to workers with kids, for just one example. Or for another, Trump's proposed tarrifs costing each family $1700 a year on average. Or another, Harris continuing to appoint labor friendly individuals to the NLRB, helping to fight employers engaging in union busting activities. Easy choice.

"Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they're gonna vote for me, they're gonna vote for me because it's not just on Fox, it's on Fox is a smaller part of it. You're on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you're on, you're all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down"

Can anyone help? I don't have a senile narcissist to English translator!

Well the username is apt at least

But ultimately, Miller said the goal may be to garner headlines and get the mandate before the conservative-leaning Supreme Court.

Welp we'll find out how low the supreme court wants to go I suppose

Look number one, whether or not she is xy has not been confirmed. It was reported by a Russian controlled organization only after she beat a Russian fighter, and they haven't actually released their results or methods.

Second, what the posted article is referring to, if she was indeed xy (which is just suspect Russian heresay at this point), is androgen insensitivity syndrome. Meaning she wouldn't be able to derive benefit from testosterone anyways. This is also different from trans individuals on a number of levels. Though Russia of course sees it as beneficial both for smearing anyone that beats their own athletes, as well as stoking popular lgbt hatred in their own country.

The only story here is Russia co opting international sports organizations for their own purposes once again, just like when they had state organized doping of their athletes that went all the way to the top involving the flipping FSB. Now they are also using it to try and spread fear and hate of trans individuals, even though it wouldn't be trans in this case it would be intersex if what they said is true, and we have no actual confirmations that she is intersex anyway. I'll believe it when an organization not controlled by Russia shows it (and even if they were correct it's very likely she wouldn't be deriving any advantages from it).

They've made similar unsubstantiated claims against another boxer. They still haven't released any specifics of their testing, and they only made these claims after they claimed world championship titles in each case. What a coincidence.

I doubt either of them is actually xy. This Russian boxing organization was banned by the international community for good reason.

There's nothing in the source you linked about Maduro releasing results online and some "hack" not allowing it. Maduro has not released any results.

The source you linked does report all the things I've said in my comment again though.

And it's not just rhetoric, he is jailing his opposition.

Michael Steele is commenting and was a former RNC head, so he probably has some kind of idea of the scale of this being impressive. Would have been better to have some sort of past numbers published for comparison though as you say.

The government did not release them, and you've provided no source for your claim. Also, showing up to a courthouse as they're all rounded up and being thrown in a jail? Give me a break. Many countries are calling for the release of the results, including leftist governments like Colombia and Brazil.

Evidence was literally uploaded by the opposition, and has been analyzed by multiple news organizations already who agree with their conclusions. Not to mention the exit polls and other available public evidence.

Here's another organization that independently gathered many of the polling receipts with similar results:

The opposition leader is in hiding (who was barred by Maduro's government for running, among many other tactics with government powers Maduro used to try to tilt the vote in his favor). Maduro has rounded up over 1000 members of the opposition already to try and prevent this data from being gathered and take more political prisoners. The Carter Center, who Maduro government themselves invited as a monitor, said that:

“Venezuela’s electoral process did not meet international standards of electoral integrity at any of its stages and violated numerous provisions of its own national laws.”

The only one fighting transparency and trying to hide results here is Maduro. These tallies were all stored on qr codes. Maduro could have released them at anytime and chose not to. Could have instantly been released the night of the election, as they were coming in if he wanted. Can't believe people on here are still falling for this dictator's bald faced lies.

Yes they've been compiling them here:

So all the authoritarian sympathizers in this thread who are falsely claiming that the opposition is making it up can look for themselves. Maduro could just release the full data set with all these polling station receipts anytime he wants too, but he continues to refuse. I wonder why....

While Maduro tries to imprison them all and prevent the release of any results, the opposition is working hard to compile all the results they can get their hands on online for anyone to see:

The only person that can't be trusted here is Maduro.
