    They got caught and from reading the details , caught pretty easily.

    Which just reinforces still further the fact that committing voter fraud at a meaningful level is extremely difficult and highly unlikely to succeed.

    You might have missed it, but trump himself committed voter fraud recently - both Trump and this NJ person got caught.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/06/donald-trump-felony-voter-fraud-florida.amp
    On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that when Trump registered to vote in Florida, he claimed the White House as his legal residence. On the same day he filled out his voter registration, however, Trump formally declared himself a “bona fide resident” of Palm Beach, the location of his Mar-a-Lago club. The president therefore tried to register to vote under an out-of-state address that is not, in fact, his legal residence.

    Under Florida law, providing false information on a voter registration form is a third-degree felony, punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

    Trump doesn't care about elections or mail in ballots for that matter. He's only throwing shade around about massive voter fraud so that he has a convenient excuse if he loses in November. "They cheated to win" blah blah.

    Trump is now (in a likely desperate effort to get people talking about anything but his refusal to take action against his boss in the Kremlin over killing US soldiers) literally tweeting videos of and thanking 'white power'.

    https://twitter.com/KatyVotingBlue/status/1277225441657577475

    He also apparently made some porkers about cuomo to distract from this.

    He’s a traitor pure and simple. Evidently, American soldiers in Afghanistan were killed by these bounties.

    First he called it fake news then he said uhm actually I was never told (bullshiiit) all the while he golfed and continued to push for Russia to be returned to the G8.

    He’s done I can’t see him winning this. You know for a kicker he also wants to defund the Stars and Stripes, an independent newspaper circulated for the military that gets most of its funding through federal dollars. I suppose he’s terrified that the paper will oh you know, report on some of these goings on. How can troops and vets still back him when he doesn’t have theirs?

    What do you make of Fauci? Do you think he knows what he is talking about or is he a chancer?

    Is that a serious question??? Look at his CV:rolleyes:

    How can you say on one hand that the Trump rally could spread the virus but on the other that events like this wouldn't spread the virus.

    This picture was played out in 2000 Us towns and cities.


    Biggest difference that I can see is that pretty much everyone in that photo is wearing a mask. Trump rally had very few if any people wearing a mask (same in places like TX, AZ and FL, very little/no mask wearing). If anything the protests have (imo) proven the efficacy of mask wearing.

    That's some brazen reasoning. If you believe it, that's your own choice and bending reality to fit your needs.

    Much like bending reality that the protests caused spikes right?

    Not that brazen when it’s a data driven conclusion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84,916 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    What’s really brazen is ignoring a Russian threat: as early as 2019, Amb. Bolton briefed Trump that Russia was paying bounties to the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. He received a detailed briefing in writing as late as February of this year. In that time US soldiers have indeed been killed by Taliban fighters, and Trump has even continued to push for Russia to rejoin the G8 (currently the G7).

    Trump has tried calling this a hoax, and now his apologists online are trying to excuse him for “ignoring” the briefing, ‘oh presidents don’t read those briefings’ they say. No question about why Trump shouldn’t be roaring, then, at staff who didn’t bring it to his full frontal attention like you’d expect a normal president to do when they, supposedly, learned of something so outrageous through the press.

    Even as the DNI and CIA Director issue statements decrying these intelligence leaks, Trump continues to call it a hoax, etc. which is a fun song and dance we’ve heard before: it’s fake but we’re mad you found out about it..

    So now that, clearly, Trump knows about these events as surely we all do now, hold your breath for him to issue sanctions on Russia :rolleyes: - if Trump continues on autopilot as he has this year there’s little chance of re election. He’s done nothing but attack science, teargas the clergy, make race relations worse, promote ‘white power,’ and, oh, he wasted taxpayer expense mailing out ‘be sure to thank me’ letters to individuals who received stimulus from Congress. No leadership from Traitor Trump, the Bunker Bitch.

    Texas, Florida, California Georgia and Arizona are in serious trouble with coronavirus, breaking records today.

    All seeing record hospitalizations and they are not the only states.

    The incompetence is so breath taking it's hard to know what to think.

    No president gets re elected on this disaster. Incompetence from top to bottom.

    Seriously - What the hell are Trumps campaign team doing with their time?

    After last weeks Non-answer to the question from Hannity on "What are your 2nd term priorities" , he gets another shot at it on Sinclair from ex Fox guy Eric Bolling and he STILL can't answer the question coherently!!
    "We're going to make America great again. We're doing things that nobody could have done," the President told Sinclair's Eric Bolling, before listing achievements from his first term.
    At one point, Trump said, "We've got to bring back our manufacturing," before immediately claiming he already had, saying he had "brought it back very big."
    "We're doing it -- whether it's trade, whether it's military -- all made in the USA. It's so important. Made in the USA. ... We've got to bring back our manufacturing, and I've brought it back very big," he said.
    "But we have to make our own pharmaceutical products, our own drugs, prescription drugs, we have to make our own things. ... So we have a lot of things we can do. We've done a lot, but we have a lot of things we can do."

    You'd think that they would have given him a scripted answer for this - It's not like it's an unlikely question or anything and clearly Bolling was giving him a shot at a do-over and the best he can come up with is "We're doing things and we'll do more things"

    Trump is out wagging the dog faced pony soldier with a surprise press conference, seemingly forced to do so to keep up with his rival, Joe Biden, who held a presser earlier this week where he put President Trump on blast for “dereliction of duty” by allowing the Taliban to collect bounties offered by Russia on our soldiers without any recourse, and in fact in the months since shilling for Russia to be restored to the G8.

    https://www.mediaite.com/trump/watch-live-trump-holds-surprise-press-briefing-at-white-house/

    I’m sure it’s chocked full of “nasty questions” Trump won’t answer about this treasonous behavior or indeed even about his flagrant promotion of white supremacy in recent days.

    One thing is for certain though is this conference wouldn’t be convened if Biden hadn’t done one this week. Trump is the follower in this race and it makes him look entirely feckless.

    I hope she doesn't take too long to start singing. Good bye, Randy Andy. Good bye, Alan Dershowitz. Maybe good bye to Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, too.

    One can hope, I suppose.
