No no, that would be cruelty animals. I mean, think about what would happen if a Republican like, oh I don’t know…say Louie Gohmert were to be push–er–I mean accidentally “fell” into the moat and…umm…

—silence—

Sorry, I lost my train of thought there. What was I talking about?

Team Facepalm 1: America 0

Here’s how you really fix it: you hire a couple people as actors who will jump the fence, maybe carrying a baby or an elderly person, and then fake the SS mercilessly riddling them with bullets no-questions-asked style. Make sure the MSM is in on it and pretends it’s all real.

Make sure the MSM is in on it…

They’d claim to be, but then turn around and shriek about Obama LIEING to the 'merican pubic, and that the whole thing was really a cover to divert attention away from (insert faux scandal here). From a random sampling of reactions: Issa would demand hearings, Gohmert would say something about asparagus, Landrieu would give another death scream about oil pipelines, the Palin brood would get in a bar fight right after condemning Obama for not showing leadership, Chris Matthews would get another thrill up his leg, Wolf Blitzer would continue to make no sense at all, BillO would mess himself, Rush would light up a cigar and pop some Oxy, the horse dancing guy would state in the driest voice possible that if he were president… Oh, and John McCain would make the rounds on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Trolls underneath as a deterrent? Hell, the semi self aware American people just gave trolls the majority on both houses!

It was done, thats for sure but we will never know how or by who while we continue to use voting machines. Paper ballots with a transparent count are the only way to insure that the vote is counted correctly.
