What’s worse, being a ballot mule, or selling tamales?
I like tamales.
From the article:
["Rick Hasen, a professor and election-law expert at the University of California, Irvine, says he believes the rigged-election message in ‘2000 Mules’ is just the latest attempt to more broadly lay the groundwork for challenging and overturning the outcome of a future election.
‘If you believe the last election was stolen, you’re going to be more likely to take steps to steal the next one back,’ Hasen said. ‘It’s pretty obvious that what’s going on here is using false claims of fraud as a potential pretext to engage in election subversion in 2024 or another future election. That’s very dangerous for American democracy.’ "]
Biden won – where’s my taco truck on every corner?
(And don’t even get me started on the personal jet-packs we’ve been promised since the 1960s!)
So, what’s your point?
Ballot mules may be made-up bullshit, but there have been a plethora of election jackasses regarding “voter fraud”.
You achieve more optimum, efficient speed if you keep your legs together during flight. Or so I’ve heard.
Most social media sites have become absolute cesspools. I have never joined Twitter, because I don’t need to see everyones’ opinion about the world. I do check FB, mainly for birthdays and funny memes. Instagram and Tik Tok are not for me, either. I prefer to stay here in the friendly confines of the Hive.
By the size of that man’s gut it looks like he enjoys a tamale or 10.
In Arizona, a Republican state senator named Kelly Townsend has encouraged people to camp out at ballot drop boxes and write down license plate numbers of people deemed to be suspicious. “I have been so pleased to hear of all you vigilantes that want to camp out at these drop boxes,” Townsend recently said. “So, do it. Do it.”
The only upside I can see with this nonsense is if the “vigilantes” spot and report each other when “staking out” a drop box.
The image describes how it would probably feel being hoisted into the air while wearing the most uncomfortable suit.
(The horns are just for style.)
Well, I’ve heard that the jet pack exhaust can be used to dry your toenail polish.
We were too poor when I was a kid to have toenails.
Did you acquire some in adulthood?
The real faulty premise here is that Biden needed some kind of fraud to win. Trump was behind in the polls by double digits from the moment Biden entered the race.
Ultimately the issue isn’t one of ballot mules, it’s one of false voter registration-- I can’t fill out a ballot for someone who doesn’t exist and just put it in a dropbox expecting it will get counted, it has to match up with a registered voter. Right now the GOP could prove that there was massive fraud via “ballot harvesting” by checking every single registered voter and asking if they voted in the election, you don’t even have to know party affiliation or who they cast their vote for.
You forget: the polls were part of the plot to seize the White House through fraud.
The fact that Trump was behind only proves that he was in fact crushing Biden. Also, something about time-traveling Knights Templar? It’s hard to keep up on just how deep the conspiracy goes…
There was a time a little while ago when I would read about the latest lurch of the American right towards political violence, and think, “There will be blood.” Then it dawned on me, there already has been blood. There will, I fear, be a lot more blood.
