Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas all refused requests from Russian officials seeking to monitor U.S. polling places.

Take that, Donald!

Can someone please, please, please try to get a response from Trump to this? I really want to see a commercial of him saying that he trusts Russian officials more than ours to ensure voting integrity with the “Your’re a puppet!” exchange from the 3rd debate.

Russia isn’t worried. When Trump loses, he’ll be all theirs and they’ll be able to recoup their loans to the Trump family however they see best, but at least it won’t be by way of political influence.

Putin’s Puppet: I only trust Russia to conduct US elections fairly. This is another attempt to undermine my victory. All Polls in Russia show me comfortable in the lead.

The head of Russia’s Central Election Commission told RT, the Kremlin-backed media outfit, that “Americans obstruct Russia’s attempts to monitor their elections because they see them as a threat.”

Fuck. Off.

The fact that this is even considered is beyond belief. No state should allow anything remotely like this. This should be federal law for all elections.

Well, to be fair, it’s true: we do see Russia as a threat, and we have evidence to back that up and justify that perception, and we should block them from observing our elections as a result.

Sure…as long as Assange is the observer.

These Republican secretaries of state really have it in for Donnie, huh? Now they won’t even allow these upstanding Ruskies to lend a hand.

This is Putin’s attempt to assist Trump in d-legitimizing the election. Putin hopes the assumption will be we will not let them observe because someone is afraid corruption will be exposed.

How could the amazing Russians, who contributed so much to the defeat of Hitler have declined to the point that Putin is their leader and Donald Trump their idol? Either they want DT to win and destroy the US from within or they are enamored of their image of the American Plutocrat who they believe beat them?

Man, I would love to have that on billboards and plastered everywhere: look at what a bunch of commies you’ve invited in, right-wingers!

That would be profound. Quietly profound. It would stick in the crawl of the people who’ve been openly rooting for Putin (against President Obama, of course) but simultaneously give them a hard stomach ache because they know deep down they’ve only been rooting against Obama and not (in their minds) America … and now that Obama will be a private citizen come mid-January, it’ll hit them hard that this is what they’ve been rooting for all along – Russia meddling in our affairs. Yes, this would make a great billboard:

Lots of clean maroon space … forces the reader to think. Good for the main highways, especially near stop lights and stop signs. Paid for by Concerned BeattyCats of America.

Of all the states they could have picked, they chose Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas??? Why not a battleground state? Except for Texas, which might get exciting this year, LA and OK must have the most boring elections in the country!
