    What is it with Trump and people that he supports and supports him like Alex Jones that makes them want to deny the deaths of Americans?

    I honestly think they don't see people in P. R. As real Americans and probably other citizens as well.

    The unsolicited text has been perfected by Berto Francis O'Rourke.

    I bet my Texas brethren got it. His text message campaign is unrelenting.

    I think of it more as his appeal to anti-intellectualism than his appeal to xenophobia. The 3,000 deaths is a modeled number, using statistics, instead of counting noses. I understand statistics and appreciate its power to deliver insights, but plenty of people are suspicious of statistics and see it as a socio-political weapon. So, if he can cast the 3,000 as an egghead number, that's enough for some people in his political target zone to dismiss it as made up.

    Seems like a good idea with any other president.

    I am about fed up with unsolicited text messages from the Beto campaign. I certainly hope they pass some kind of legislation to prevent this type of harassment in the future.

    Well, might be more appropriate to complain about it on a different D&D topic. But curious, if its so annoying, have you requested to be taken off? Have you blocked them?

    Seems to me you like the opportunity to have something to complain about O'Rourke.

    I have asked to be removed (obviously to no avail) but I have not blocked anyone. This is my company phone that I also use for personal use. I do not block anyone. It would not do much good anyway since most every Beto text is from a different number.

    OK, that would get annoying. Are you sure they are from the O'Rourke campaign?

    Somebody posing as Beto O’Rourke’s campaign sent texts proposing voter fraud

    An “impostor” asked for help transporting undocumented immigrants to vote.

    ...you'd think...what with how that whole Planned Parenthood sting operation a few years back went...

    ...somebody would have figured out how NOT to fake a scandal...

    ...I mean, if Hillary Clinton could do it all these years and not get caught...
    ...how hard could it really be?

    I seem to recall another group of his supporters who denied the deaths of millions of Europeans during the 1930s and 40s.

    Coincidence? Some people say it isn't...
