They need to ask Spicer this question every day. Every bleeding goddamned day.

And another thing!,…

This is a huge win for our cause.

The fact that this so-called investigation has gotten no where and apparently no not even Republicans outside this WH have any interest in it, much less funding it, is a huge win for the progressive cause.

The Bush admin / Karl Rove deeply politicized this issue by pushing hard on this canard (and fell hard) going so far as to fire a number of U.S Attorneys who refused to pursue political prosecutions on a handful of individual citizens for alleged voter fraud. The attempt was to prosecution individiuals around the country and them Rove would use those to claim a wave of voter fraud is sweeping the nation, etc.

For those who weren’t here at TPM at that time, it was Josh Marshall and his team that uncovered this story and pushed it hard for a period of months. This coverage won them a Polk award.

This is like the loons who routinely mount expeditions into the mountains in Turkey in search of traces of Noah’s Ark. To me, it’s like sending an expedition to the North Pole to track down signs of Santa’s Workshop.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when the commission meets to review the evidence of massive voter fraud.

Commission member: “How will we apologize to His Majesty?”

Pence: “Leave that to me. I am the only one who must apologize to His Majesty.”

(Bonus points for ID’ing the line.)

Trump’s policies have been grounded more than a naughty eight year old.

“Voter fraud” investigation-grounded.
Muslim travel ban-grounded
ACA repeal/replace-grounded
The Wall-grounded
Repeal the Russian sanctions-grounded
Tax reform-grounded

His policies are apparently like Trump Airlines was- always grounded.

“AG” Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III will be doing all he can to suppress the vote, so Trump’s “investigation” isn’t needed.

It’s a tiny little probe, just like his hands.

Trump’s Voter Fraud Probe Still Hasn’t Gotten Off The Ground

It will probably get started as soon as they write up and implement the Obama care replacement. So never.

Just a little prick!

Trump’s Voter Fraud Probe Still Hasn’t Gotten Off The Ground

One thing the Trump WH is learning is that every time that they try to get something moving it blows in their faces. So basically they have avoided doing anything in the last few days, and that includes sushing Kellyanne and not tweeting…

Had to do a double-take - my eyes read “Russian malfeasance” the first time.

Millions of felonies committed by non-citizens, and Trumpp’s only action so far is to mumble the name of his VP.

The Trumpp action figure is going to have to ship with a mattress and pillow.

They need to call in US Customs and Border Protection to get this probe off the ground. And have them bring the catapult recently discovered attached to the south side of the border wall in Arizona.

(Yes, Rep. Franks, it was used for launching nuclear-weapon laden bales of marijuana into your state.)

“The crime in my neighborhood is terrible! Houses get broken into every day!”
“That’s weird, I live one block over and we have no crime. Does anyone call the police?”
“Er, uh, we’re looking into that.”

Once seen, that cannot be unseen. Now the image is burned upon my brain.

You’re welcome…ha ha ha! To me even funnier than the little prick, the one between the dolls legs, is how real the face looks, i.e. the “big” prick.

The act of saying “let’s have a task force” isn’t “naming” a task force. What an absurd thing to say to a roomful of Reporters.

“Naming” a task force means identifying who is on that task force.

OMG! How hideous is that? Let’s get these in the stores by Christmas!

But hey, Trump and his merry band of silly billies have created lots of empty rhetoric! To their diehard fans, that’s just as good as having actually made real plans and followed through on them.

I can’t believe that even Pence is stupid enough to do it, even if the Asshole-elect wants it. Sad.

Probably not nearly as bad as the real thing, but sadly close.
