The whole Trump campaign is nothing but a floating dumpster fire…

The Trump campaign and Republican Party have fought legal battles in several states to limit the counting of ballots… even if postmarks show that the votes were cast on time.

Government IS the problem. Republicans make sure it is.

Garbage, lies, and incitement – the unholy trinity of Trumpism.

Are Jason Miller and Stephen Miller related. If not, they are at least cut from the same cloth. They both repeatedly prove what we have always believed about Trump and his minions: Nothing that comes out of their collective mouths has even the least element of truth. All they know how to do is LIE!

This is so pathetic, Trump needs to know on election night/next day who will be the next POTUS. This info is important because he needs to know how much time he’ll have to steal more money from the taxpayers, and what time to set the timers that are connected to bombs he has had staff all around the the Executive Office. Someone needs to install a camera on the shredders, and tap the WH servers.

And again "Vote for Joe so we all can stop imagining the unimageable. "

This can’t be repeated enough, but unfortunately those who wallow in conspiracies won’t believe it. They are not likely to be strong on history and to understand how elections have always happened.

Yeah, Square that with the Pennsylvania counties that have already said they won’t even start counting ballots until November 4.

What would one expect from Jason Miller? He’s a corrupt slob. From Politico, June 5, 2020:

After the 2016 election, Miller was named White House communications director. But weeks before Trump’s inauguration he backed out after reports emerged that he had an extramarital affair and impregnated another campaign official, A.J. Delgado. In the ensuing months they were engaged in a legal battle that came to focus on attorneys fees and child support. Miller later stepped down from his position as a commentator on CNN and has an ongoing lawsuit against an online media outlet over what he has called a defamatory report about his personal life.

The entire discussion is so imbecilic it could have only originated with Trump and the GOP. I guess they have completely given up on the sentient vote this year.

The guy looks like a douchemook. I’ll also give 10 to 1 odds he puts his phone on speakerphone all the time and talks loudly into it while holding it horizontally flat in front of him.

“If you speak with many smart Democrats, they believe that Trump will be ahead on election night, probably getting 280 electoral [votes] — somewhere in that range, and then they’re gonna try to steal it back after the election,” [Miller said](https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/shared/78QSlU1IOKYosNCgVPriyH7vqfMPvZ3lZqDaDUidbuurCmm42YHuKQFzPdmER_dtu0Ja7nD8t0gdEk0q7jeIquF12Vk?loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=334.92).

280? Is that what Vlad said this year?
Unfortunately for Donnie and him, they can’t fix mail in votes.

If you would accompany me to a local watering hole you would learn they have no idea what you are talking about when you bring up history.
This is not snark.

Unfortunately, dumpster fires can burn us all. The legal challenges the trump campaign is either pursuing or setting up would and should get struck down hard with a normal judiciary. But given the judges trump has appointed, and his propensity for loyalty oaths, I just don’t know which way they’ll fall.

I’m glad to see some officials getting ahead of this vote count jackassery; I want to see more. That Rick Klein tweet calling Jason Miller’s BS “a point” is god damn chilling.

And that’s where they’re headed: downstream, never to be heard from again. Eventually.
