Article about how Republicans started spreading lies about the Pelosi attack just hours after it started.
The comments of 22 of them are shown.
Conspiracy theorists and purveyors of nonsense.

Clicking the link from google should get you the NYT story for free past their paywall.

oh I suppose you could say that about "false flag" claims, but otherwise it was debunking, not theorizing about conspiracy

definitely this occurred. But I think even that was due course, seeing as how some things are too weird to believe the way they have been reported, meanwhile the 911 recording is under wraps still. And there is the matter of using the incident to bash Republicans ... for every action there is a reaction, you know.

If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for reliable sources to publish information

Check the source
Are they trusted on this topic?
Come back later
Other sources might have more information on this topic in a few hours or days"

when I read the article I just see a lot of whining, meanwhile the NYT is fine with the Dems bashing

When Elon is eventually forced to offload Twitter, how much of a loss do we think he’ll take on it?

Elon is a tech guy
Twitter is a social media site
The disconnect is aparrent
He over paid big time and is now running it into the ground. He'll blame everybody but himself for Twitters falling value.
I only check twitter these days to follow the Pike county massacre trial.

Where do you live?
Some places don't have competitive races
I think everybody I voted for last week will lose
I read somewhere that 41 million have voted already
We should be making it easier to vote early

Even I don't think Trump deserves leg irons.
Fox News disgusts me

Not much to talk about.

Despite bold predictions from some, no one knows what will happen.

I won’t be on tomorrow night. Ignoring all media till Wednesday once the red mirage starts to fade.

Saying 'site' I mean DT

But since you asked, Virginia .... in my county there is only one thing on the ballot, who is to go to represent us in the legislature of the US, and the incumbent congressman is a shoo-in

The German owned political newspaper 'Politico' published this article a few weeks ago:

'The voting machine hacking threat you probably haven’t heard about'

'We watched hackers break into voting machines' - CNN

'This is how elections are s+olen'
