TRUMP IS A MENACE TO THE WELL-BEING OF AMERICA. HERE HE IS AGAIN LYING, LYING, AND LYING...


or too elephantinely stupid to know the difference between actual ballots and ballot applications.

Vote the nincompoop OUT! in November.

The good people of America deserve better than this toxic pile of lies, cheating, and deliberate disinformation.

 Nevada Gov. Sisolak: "For the President to threaten federal funding in the midst of a pandemic over a state exercising its authority to run elections in a safe and legal manner is inappropriate and outrageous." 




This is one of those lies that'll be lost in the history books because there aren't enough pages. But it's menacing in this moment. The president is spreading egregiously false information that will incite his base and fuel talk of a rigged election.

Trump knows the only way he wins an election is if nobody can vote. The GOP are going to try to cheat their way into another 4 years. That would be a disaster in many ways!

AMETICA'S NEW NORMAL. MIGHT AS WELL GET USED TO IT. TRUMP WILL LIKELY CREATE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISES IF HE LOSES. HE WILL PROBABLY REFUSE TO CONCEDE, HIS CASE HE IS ALREADY BUILDING THE GROUNDWORK AND FRAMEWORK FOR. ILLEGALS VOTING, DOUBLE VOTING, DEAD PE0PLE VOTING, AND MORE WILL LIKELY BE THE CONSPIRACY THEORY REVISITED. ONLY IN 2020 IT WILL BE ON STERIODS IF HE LOSES. HE WILL LIKELY CHALLENGE THE ELECTION RESULTS IN COURT IF HE LOSES.

OUR SICK, IMMORAL, NARCISSIST, MISOGYNIST, CORRUPT, AND MURDERING PRESNIT HAS NO HONOR AND HE HAS NO SHAME. PERIOD.

As a resident of Nevada, let me chime in...

3 of our last for Secretary's of State have been Republican, including our current office holder. All of them have certified every election they have overseen as free, fair and a true vote of the ppl of Nevada. And in those years, we have experience a huge number of mail in votes, early voting and motor voter registration.

President Trump and the rest of the ppl interesting in limiting the franchise of voters in my state, need to give it a rest, or put up and show where the fraud is, has been, or will come from.

And the same is true around the rest of the country. To believe we have been victimized by massive voter fraud, requires those making those charges to show us the proof not just of the fraud, which we know doesn't exist, but to show why a great number of GOP Sec's of State are lying when they certify their state elections.

Jim Wright: "Trump, like all autocratic authoritarians, knows he cannot win an election if everybody gets to vote.

Republicans know very well that their ideology of hate and fear is in the minority in America. Men like Mitch McConnell do not appeal to the majority, and they know it. They know they cannot win, if everybody gets to vote, if the playing field is level, if they have to run on who they actually are.

They know it in their bones.

They crave power, but the idea of changing, of becoming the sort of person, the sort of leader, who appeals to a broader range of Americans, becoming someone who leads by example from a position of compassion and understanding and wisdom, is utterly repulsive to them. Because giving up their violent warmongering xenophobia, their violent selfish religion, their violent racism, their violent gibbering fear of the other, is unimaginable.
They simply cannot imagine any road to power that does not involve the violence of hate and fear.

The Republican Party who follows Trump is not the Grand Old Party of Yore. These are not the Republicans who elected Abraham Lincoln or Dwight Eisenhower -- or even Ronald Reagan. These Republicans do not believe in democracy unless the vote is restricted to only themselves."

Here in Idaho, we have vote by mail. We have a solid GOP establishment, there is
no chance of losing it. It comes as no surprise that we have had no input from the
fraudulent resident of the White House. Perhaps he is too busy eviscerating the
finest group of health physicians/scientists on the planent (WHO), or firing the
latest sycophant who hinted truth to power. The US proceeds to decline in the eyes
of the world and most of us as the arrogant bully wastes over a hundred years of
the decency and honor of a former proud nation.

RN, Dave, and BB-Idaho,

Trump voted by mail. RN is correct. This is all b.s. to set up Trump's inevitable charges of voter fraud when he loses in November.

Americans need to keep in mind everytime Trump opens his mouth, that he is first and foremost and liar and b.s.er.

This is Dan MacCready writing in the NYTimes:

"To avoid a repeat of the situation and hold a fair election in November, when America may still be in the middle of a pandemic, elections experts and public health officials say we must ramp up voting by mail. Voters on both sides of the aisle agree, as do Democratic and some Republican lawmakers. But mail-in voting has a loud opponent: President Trump. He’s calling for Republicans to fight it, saying it’s a recipe for fraud.

The thing is, fraud isn’t Mr. Trump’s true concern, or the Republican Party’s. I should know. Ballot fraud is extremely rare. But when a case was uncovered in my congressional race in 2018 — orchestrated by my Republican opponent’s campaign — the president and party officials looked the other way. Mr. Trump’s concern is more sinister: Alleging fraud is a cover to rig elections by suppressing Democratic votes.

It’s part of a playbook that Republicans have deployed for years in battleground states like Wisconsin and my home state of North Carolina. If we don’t legislate now to make mail-in voting easier in November, the Republican Party might just steal another election. This time, it won’t be a congressional race at stake. It will be American democracy itself."
