ok first of all, i did not say this DID happen, i said this was how I personally (a nobody with no influence) (stated for the sake of making conversation with fellow nobodies) chose to envision something which had allegedly happened.
The things that WERE actually alleged,
I heard of from The Majority Report with Sam Seder.
THEY heard it from a Politico article.
Politico claims they cross-referenced the statements of 22 people who requested to remain anonymous to protect their positions from retaliation.

truth is, it would be equally as verifiable if the story were that a time traveling extraterrestrial cyborg wizard from the future teleported before joe and sent him on a spirit quest to be visited by the ghosts of past and future presidents who then proceeded to convince him to drop out but I would rather soothe my disdain and contempt for the democrat party (not to be confused with my abject hatred and revulsion for the republican party) by subscribing to the narrative that the people who fucked bernie out of two nominations by arguing in court that they had a right to rig their own primary elections FINALLY might not have gotten their way for once.

Tell me more about this wizard. Did you catch their name?

Glomzarb Σ68 of future-excephalon-3 brought tidings of horrific destruction the Terran Empire had been destined to one day wreak upon the good sophonts of the milky way galaxy and traced the sequence of events back to that very moment; and although xir original timeline is doomed, xhi can at least ensure there are SOME timelines where the rampant fascism of Sol was strangled in its cradle. Joe was unmoved until he saw how it would eventually harm the stock market.

Well I'm glad they decided to help this timeline. It's where I keep all my stuff.

You said you “heard” that it happened. And that “allegedly” Pelosi said some things.

Who did you hear it from and who is quoting Pelosi? That was all I was asking.

That you provided those sources makes it better. But making assumptions about things in order to fill in the banks muddies the water.

Especially when you position it as factual.
