“What the president is talking about is efforts on the Democrats’ part to weaken the integrity of our elections,” Murtaugh said.

Like H.R. 1, for example?

Or were you referring to the Democratic House’s efforts to “weaken the integrity” of Russian interference with our elections?

Moscow Mitch is stonewalling so many things these days, you’ll have to be more specific.

“What the president is talking about is efforts on the Democrats’ part to weaken the integrity of our elections,” Murtaugh said.

In other words “What the president said is not what he said, what he really said is that we should all hate the Democrats”

If they’re dampened, please don’t turn them out. Just drop them in the bin, over there.

Well, not so much of a bin.

More of a basket.

Some are trying to thread the needle: Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh explained to the Washington Post that the President is solely warning of absentee ballot fraud and not besmirching the vote-by-mail concept in totum voting by mail for Democrats, while he wholly supports voting by mail for Republicans.

FIFY!

Well, that’s what tsunamis do - they tend to dampen things.

And the blue one that’s headed the GOP’s way is going to do a whole lot more than dampen them.

Out to sea with the m-f’er’s on all levels of government where the GOP have languished and wasted time and watched their constituents die without so much as a mumble.
