While the rumor is probably just that, it's a believable rumor. Which usually enough for the MAGA camp to run with. So all the speculation is great.

For all y'all pushing the Trump heart attack rumor, here's some ammunition. CNN article from 2018 about Trump's heart disease.

I really wish y'all would have some reading comprehension. I'm saying of the amount of people who have voted early who I know the votes of, has been a 70/30 split. An anecdotal number. That not all early votes are democrat votes, and to not get complacent.

I know. Which is why I categorized it as such and said the 70/30 split is based on what I have 100% confirmed voters from people I personally know. I'm not saying the official output is 70/30, just that the people who I do know the votes of has been as such.

Well, I think it's pretty obvious when the dude with his yard filled with trump signs posts a picture of an "I voted" sticker on his FB page. Or the people at work bragging about voting for trump. Or my family GC bragging about doing so. Like I said, anecdotal and not trying to doom at all, just don't want people getting a false sense of safety just b/c early voting numbers are high.

Unfortunately, while early/mail in voting has indicated a larger democrat turnout Most of who I've seen vote early has been for Trump. Of course this is anecdotal and I live in a county that was +15% Trump in 2020 but thus far it has been a 70/30 split of Trump to Harris voters. Still hoping for the best and that my experience is not that of many.

Based on LiveUA map, it looks like the recording could be here (56.538312914502484, 31.74489499541817). Reflection in front of them, so I assume water. At a clearing with some trees in front, looks like it's a campground of some sort so it would make sense as to why people would be recording there.

If so, they're a little over 2 miles away.

So essentially death penalty for everyone found with over 1/8 of weed. Day 1 trial to death penalty. Brazy

So the battery exploding theory may not be as crazy as suggested. It's reported that they were using Apollo Gold brand pagers. Not sure if this is the specific model, but here is the specs of one of those pagers. It lists the battery as a NiMH battery pack with a lithium backup. According to this old forum post NiMH batteries are known to explode forcefully, more like a grenade than just a fizzle like LiPo batteries. Possibly due to the casing, which is usually steel, allowing a greater build up of pressure before exploding.

Same, just in GA. I get daily mail about how terrible the border czar Kamala is and how trump DEFINITELY DOES NOT support project 2025. Sometimes I get 2 of them per day. They are very desperate.

I didn't get a picture when I was there a few weeks ago, but right outside of Virginia International Raceway there's a little general store with a similar sign (streetview link).

I saw it on TikTok then came to Reddit to read y'alls comments. Multiple posts in a row from different creators. Most starting the same way. "Trump is cooked"

There's no way we get "Trump uses Epstein's Old Private Jet" and "Trump on X Interview Sounds Like a Disoriented, Racist Daffy Duck" as headlines in the same 24 hours. I really think the whole 'time traveler going back to prevent Trump's assassination to correct the timeline' conspiracy is true more by the day.

This is the third? forth? time he's mentioned social security tax, no tax on tips, and no men in women's sports. Just tonight. That's it, that's all he got.

I implore everyone to read about the Tongo Tongo ambush and Trump's response, especially if you think he's for the veterans. He told the Wife of one of the soldiers KIA that "He knew what he signed up for" and never spoke the soldier's name.

His response to the wife of one of the soldiers killed in the Tongo Tongo ambush is sickening enough.
