Anyone who believes Trump "Hasn't been interested" in whether his name is on the list or not...
Anyone who believes lifelong Republican and Trump Collaborator J. Comey can see the future...
Anyone who believes that the Biden administration went through the trouble of doctoring evidence to set up Trump just in case he was elected in the future and pressured to release the files...
Anyone who believes that he hasn't already decided to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her compiling a list of 100 of Trumps enemies...
Is a fucking idiot, even by MAGAt standards, and that's already as low of a bar as it's possible to have.
MAGA still believes MILLIONS of votes for Biden were from migrants bused in from Mexico.
If you took all the busses in the entirety of the USA, and used them at once, you could, at most, be able to transport 800,000 people.
And that's if all the busses in the US were doing it at once. Something that would certainly be noticed.
MAGA are just dilusional. Unfortunately, nothing based in reality can change that.
That's really, really stupid, but even that isn't as dumb as "There is no list, and if there is a list I'm not on it, and if I am on it it's Biden's fault, and if there's proof I'm a pedo it's a hoax, and I haven't even thought of pardoning Maxwell, but I totally could, and If I do it's not because she produced a bogus list that I'm not on but all my enemies are."
I don't like Trump and I'm positive there weren't millions bussed from Mexico to vote. I also don't like disinformation.
Just looking at school busses, there are approximately 480,000 school busses in the US. Enough to carry 10-30 million people at once, depending on average bus size
I don't have time to dig deeper, but im sure there are enough city busses in the US to carry a few million more.
Ah. It's not disinformation. I wasn't going off figures of public school buses that in no way could be rented. I was going off the amount of busses in service for private operation.
From the transit authority database: https://www.transit.dot.gov/ntd
Which based on your math is enough to carry 800k to 2.4 million at once if used to maximum capacity (and depending on bus size).
I was going to say that those school buses all would have been busy transporting children on election day, but then I remembered that most schools are used as polling places and thus the buses would have been free. However, I am a school bus driver myself and I probably would have remembered being told to drive to Mexico (from Philly!) and pick up a load of migrants.
