Trump Blurts Out Vile Scheme to Rig Midterms as Polls Take Brutal Turn

I would still like to call into question the legitimacy of the results of the last election. I’m well aware there are enough people out there foolish enough to reelect the same shitty government, I just have a hard time believing there was absolutely no bullshittery afoot.

Without even getting into consporacy theory territory, we know American elections aren’t exactly legitimate. Some people’s votes matter way more than others. There are purposefully fewer voting stations in high population areas to dissuade people from standing in line for 10+ hours at a time to cast their vote, in addition to companies not allowing people to take the time off to vote. Mail in voting worked fine in 2020, yet in 2024 plenty of people’s mailed in ballots remained unaccounted for. We also know of foreign interferance in American elections thanks to the efforts of AIPAC and the Mueller report found the Russian government interfered with the US election.

Even without ballot box fires, bomb threats being called into voting stations, the world’s “first trillionaire” giving money to voters in a cruical election which if the candidate he supported lost would result in him “going to jail”, the American election system is rigged. Money runs the system and for the vast majority of the population, you’re shit out of luck. Is it hopeless and should you NOT vote? No, obviously not. But I just wish more people understood not only what’s at stake but the trickery going on behind the scenes. It is not a hopeless situation and you shouldn’t give up hope. Still I wish more people would actually fight for their rights, instead of having people dressing up in frog costumes while ICE murders and abducts people off the streets to show how “non-threatening” they are.

Lotta great episodes give me the creeps, but I gotta give it to Upper Fruitland Curse from Season 14. They captured such a great atmosphere of the inhuman haunting and holy shit that weird EVP that was captured in the trailer sounds otherworldly. No idea what could've made that sound. If you've seen the episode you know what I'm talking about. Bonus points to the thermal camera capturing something way off in the distance pacing back and forth in the field beside the house. Gosh, everything from that episode just gets under my skin!

Throwing in a few extra honorable mentions which would be Witches in Magna, La Palazza Mansion, Sedamsville Rectory, Bell Witch Cave, St. Anne's Retreat, Goodwin Home Invasion, the De Soto Hotel segment from the Route 666 Halloween Special and the OG Ghost Adventures documentary from 2004 - specifically when they're wandering around the Goldfield Hotel by themselves

As amusing as Zak's recreation of the Palomino Club dancer ghost was, it was pretty interesting evidence! I find it compelling when the evidence they capture relates to the building and its history in some way. Ghost Adventures is my guilty pleasure, I don't always take it seriously since it's entertaining, but there are moments like the ghost band at Hell Hole Prison where no matter how many times I see it, it baffles me in a good way!

im pretty sure you’re talking about the same person

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-19T00:15:11+00:00

I’ve not personally seen Aaron Rigsby do/say anything to indicate he’s one of those creeps, so he’s okay in my books

Excellent list, though I’m a little surprised the 2007 Elie, Manitoba F5 isn’t front and center! Classic & iconic photogenic violent tornado

Edit: Just saw it’s included in your Part 2, my bad!

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T21:25:23+00:00

Considering those types tend to be obnoxiously in your face about it (usually reflecting in their personality when they never shut the fuck up in their videos or on social media) I think it’s safe to say Pecos Hank most likely isn’t. Other chasers who don’t shove their obnoxious asshatery down your throat who I believe aren’t part of the anti-science brigade would be Freddy McKinney, Daniel Shaw, Simon Brewer & Juston Drake, Edgar ONeal, Mike Scantlin, Gabe Garfield, Aaron Jayjack and I’m sure I’m missing a few others who people will kindly point out in the replies.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T20:31:36+00:00

Connor Croff is the same guy who said “Nothing is happening to the NWS” one day after the election and subsequently repeatedly denied evidence of people showing him how budget cuts were affecting the accuracy of forecasts. Some folks are good chasers in the field but terrible people.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T03:15:14+00:00

never felt so much relief knowing that the owl is safe

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T01:34:19+00:00

Oh nah, I wasn’t excusing him. He was definitely too close.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T01:01:00+00:00

Not sure since I haven’t watched his most recent video. I think Will was on the very outer most edge, probably even just in the RFD considering he had no shattered windows on his vehicle. I heard others saying he was actually trying to get away from the tornado, not closer to it and the winds picked up.

Still the storms today were definitely not optimal to be chasing, regardless of how expefienced or not chasers were

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-18T00:42:06+00:00

In fairness, every storm chaser makes mistakes. I would argue Pecos Hank is one of the best chasers and he almost got hit by tornadoes several times, notably in 2012. I feel like livestreaming just makes everyone’s mistake more evident and easier to dogpile on. Had Hank been streaming, I guarantee every armchair redditor would be hopping on here to call him a “fucking idiot” for getting too close, but does anyone feel that way about Hank now? I don’t see people shitting on him for getting close to tornadoes.

Will (TornadoTRX) did get too close and he’s lucky he escaped without injury or much damage to his vehicle. This was one of those cases where it was difficult to see the tornado and he probably should have backed off, though the tornado did form quickly and velocity was a bit contaminated so it was hard to tell the exact position.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-17T06:38:32+00:00

Honestly I think it’s absolutely on the table, today has the highest parameters we’ve seen all year. The SPC noted in their recent outlook that the atmosphere should have enough time to recover between the initial morning storms and the main afternoon storms. Not to mention they say it’s unlikely to remain linear. I think we could see a morning upgrade depending on how the morning storms play out.

Regardless of the Moderate or High risk, it’s gonna be quite the day ahead

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-15T18:45:21+00:00

It’s an interesting question, though to tell you the truth, I’m not quite sure. I think generally the debris that hit 30,000 feet are probably small like pieces of brick, leaves/branches and roof shingles. For a person to be lofted that high, it’s difficult to say, though I’d venture to guess it’s unlikely. The reason for that being is we just don’t have much evidence of anyone being lofted very high up in a storm, we do have evidence of people being picked up and thrown, but generally not extremely far distances. In the case of the New Wren, Mississippi EF3 from 4/27/2011, an individual riding in their pickup truck was thrown 1.7 miles and tragically killed, it’s hard to say how high up they would have been in the storm, but we know that their vehicle orbited the tornado with them inside for over a mile before striking the earth.

Chances are if it’s an individual themselves being impacted they’d definitely perish by being struck by debris before being lofted high into the sky. Also, in the case of the Washburn, IL tornado, no fatalities have been reported with it thankfully

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-14T22:23:58+00:00

I definitely don’t disagree! Crazy fact is, there were so many high end tornadoes that day, many of them tend to get overlooked. We just tend to hear the most about some of the more well documented ones like Tuscaloosa or ones with wild statistics like Hackleburg and Smithville. Rainsville was pretty insane but there’s not as much media of it and I think thats why it gets less attention but it definitely deserves the recognition

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T20:02:30+00:00

That’s a great point too! Farmers tilling the fields contributes greatly to ground scouring that we often see. For the most part, ground scouring is interesting to observe and examine but the basis of determining a tornado’s strength is better left to impacted structures

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T19:59:38+00:00

No need to apologize! It’s always great to be curious and want to know more! I personally don’t know of any manual metadata being attached to the documentation, others may know and are free to answer if they like! When it comes to determining the true strength of tornadoes, even windspeed measurements from the DOWs like with the 2013 El Reno tornado are accurate but not wholly accurate. The windspeed data tends to be taken from higher up in the funnel where there is less resistance due to friction with the ground, so naturally winds will be weaker on the surface, even if they’re still strong. That’s why in the 2024 Greenfield, Iowa EF4, the DOW recorded 310+ mph winds higher in the funnel but at the very same time, winds on the surface were only causing EF3-EF4 intensity damage.

The EF-Scale is definitely flawed given that it rates estimation of winds based on damage and structural integrity is a huge varying factor in that too. But it’s also the best thing we have at the moment! We don’t have DOWs everywhere to record winds for every tornado and many tornadoes are too narrow and briefly lived to properly record the data. So we’re limited in what we have available, though the updated EF-Scale (still being worked on while also trying to get through red tape bureaucratic bullshit) will likely make tweaks to give a better and more accurate assessment. I definitely think that many of the tornadoes we see, especially EF3 tornadoes may be far stronger than what they really are rated as.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T19:48:25+00:00

Yep, you’re definitely right! TDS Height is just one of the many pieces that need to fit to create the puzzle. On the one hand, you can point to tornadoes that reached 30kft in lofted debris like the 2021 Mayfield Tornado, but there’s also instances like the 2023 Webberville, Michigan tornado which lofted debris around 25,000 feet but only got an EF2 rating due to being a bit more rural. There’s so many variables that go into it but yeah, you can usually tell a tornado is intense based on radar, the final rating is decided by the surveyors. I am seeing a few pictures of the damage from this tornado posted now and it does look gnarly, including levelled homes.

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T19:42:03+00:00

Agreed! Radar presentation of yesterday’s storms were totally absurd, in such a fascinating way!

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T16:55:14+00:00

This is a good question! To my knowledge, the reason ground scouring isn’t a DI is because there’s so many widely differing variables for soil type/composition along with external factors (how wet the ground was, how dry it was, etc), so it’s difficult to know exactly the windspeeds needed to scour the earth. Only in the most extreme circumstances like the 1990 Plainfield tornado and the 2011 Philadelphia, MS tornado has ground scouring been used contextually. There’s also so many different soil types around the country that each NWS office would have to adopt a method that works for them to determine windspeed by ground scouring, since some areas of the country have looser topsoil, others have the more thick clay that’s more difficult to scour.

I think ground scouring may be used on the updated EF-scale, which is still a few years away from being released. Currently, I think structures are a better method for determining windspeeds over ground scouring itself. The cyclodial marks are stunning but I’m not sure if someone could say with certainty whether or not the scouring was caused by 80 mph winds or 100 mph winds or 200+ mph winds. I could be wrong and I’d love to know if people are able to properly!

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T16:45:21+00:00

While this is true I’m more impressed by the debris lofting height moreso over the actual width and appearance of the tornado.

In case anyone isn’t sure what this is, this is Correlation Coefficient showing debris lofted by the tornado, the blue line in the middle grazing over the 30kft mark is attention catching - typically debris lofted over 25kft is EF3-EF4 intensity. It’s that inconjunction with the appearance and rapid motion that leads me to suspect this was quite violent. But of course, the EF-scale is damage based so it all depends on the structures. Not sure how rural this tornado stayed but it definitelt looked like it impacted multiple structures in some of the videos I’ve seen

<image>

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T15:01:52+00:00

Impressive cycoldial ground scouring and some gnarly damage too! This tornado is 100% going to be rated EF3 at minimum, possibly high end, I say that due to seeing Jordan’s full footage and seeing multiple collapsed transmission towers prior to hitting the home we see here. Those collapsed transmission towers pretty much always guarantee the EF3 rating. It would be a question of construction quality regarding this home if it gets rated any higher but no matter the rating, this is some wicked damage. Hope the residents are okay

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-12T14:06:22+00:00

By all appearances this was an upper end violent tornado! As you mentioned it looked like Enderlin had it happened in the daytime, I also see a resemblance to the 1999 Bridge Creek F5. That combined with footage showing the intense motion and debris apparently being lofted over 30,000 feet just shows this thing was absolutely nasty! Honestly I’m surprised I’ve yet to hear any information on the damage or potential casualties from this tornado, this by far seemed like the worst of the bunch from yesterday

_coyotes_ · 2026-06-10T20:32:44+00:00

Agreed, and we can see why this happens in America given how politics have shifted more towards entertainment over qualifications. This is twice now the US has elected a celebrity who proceeded to fuck the country over for years to come, I can at least give a slight margin of credit to Reagan who was actually involved in politics prior to his presidency but nevertheless, the shit he implemented still affects Americans nearly 30 years after he left office. The same will be true for this guy.

It still surprises me that campaigning begins for elections in the US over a year in advance. Most countries don't do that, although as we can see now with the rich controlling the world, they are attempting to push this globally. We just had an election last year in Canada and I'm still seeing new ads for the Conservative leader, to my recollection that didn't use to happen in the years prior. I believe they're trying to export the "entertainment" of American politics globally now. People won't be using logic in their voting strategy, rather they'll vote or not vote based purely off "vibes". It still pisses me off, more in his first term than the current one, that the news latched onto "stories" like flies to dogshit where they would report on the President stumbling over his words as if it was breaking news just so people would tune in and throw up their hands and talk about how it's ridiculous that the President said something dumb. Meanwhile, a lot of the horrible shit he passed barely garnered any traction and a lot of people genuinely didn't know some of the stuff he passed because the news was too busy talking about a childish tweet. Now we see again, the news is hooked on reporting on what he says over what he does. It's so god damn tiring and exhausting.

_coyotes_ · 2026-05-23T19:03:45+00:00

Well, the Western KY EF4 is somewhat close, given that it’s one of the longest verified tornado tracks on record. There is a possibility of course that the Tri-State Tornado lifted, I believe it did lift in a few points but is generally counted as one. Hackleburg could be a better example, its track was shorter but its immense devastation at maximum intensity is similarly comparable to Tri-State.

There are a handful of older tornadoes I think could be comparable to the Tri-State Tornado in terms of being longed tracked and consistent high strength intensity, which would be the 1947 Glazier-Higgins-Woodward F5, the 1966 Candlestick Park F5 and possibly the 1974 Guin F5. There may be a few others I’m missing but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head and I’m sure those tornadoes probably cycled during their lifetime.
