Only Way Dems Win Is Through Election Theft, Texas Lt. Gov Says

What he’s REALLY saying:
“We’ve cheated so damn hard that the only way they can beat us is to cheat more.”
And the slimy weasel would still be wrong.

GOTV!!! T minus 4 days and counting…

See, the trouble with radio is that punctuation doesn’t come across.

“The Democrats have just decided this election, Mark, we don’t have to pay attention to any laws,” Patrick told radio host Mark Davis in an interview Thursday flagged by the Texas Tribune

That should have read: “The Democrats have just decided this election, Mark. We don’t have to pay attention to any laws.”

A perhaps silly question.
I’ve noticed that upon login and entering the comments section that I am automatically logged out and asked to login a second time.
Is this a new security feature?
Is it being done to all users?
Or just to us sub-primes? :wink:

That is true. Anytime a Republican speaks, they are looking in a mirror and describing what they see.

Reminder: Dan Patrick, like Trump, was a small-minded media creation (local radio talk show host) who was elected to a position completely beyond his abilities. He excels only at divisive rhetoric.

Let’s not make that mistake again, folks.

Power. And in a true democracy they wouldn’t have any.

A better question is why they are all genetically incapable of not projecting out loud?

No, they are creating a narrative that justifies their actions: “Republicans don’t cheat because they want to, they cheat because democrats make them have to.”

Projection can be innocent.

Less innocent is priming their supporters in the media and elsewhere.

It would be a nice gesture on his part if he could be an example in this. But he’s probably on the GOP super-secret health plan, so he’ll be ok.

That, and auditioning for a gig with Fox. This is certainly not the way an elected official talks, but it sure is the way Hannity and crew do.

And know it hasn’t worked and they are going to lose. These people are so transparent.

Theft? Like his taking away all but one ballot box in each county in Texas? Or DeJoy removing all those mail sorting machines from post offices right before the election? Not the old ones but the bright, shiny new ones that process mail the fastest?

At least Democrats have the courtesy to make accusations only after theft has actually occurred and there’s evidence – see Stacy Abrams.

I can only think they’re terrified Texas is going to slip away and that they need to grease the wheels for a cry foul case. It’s all so Trumpian. Who votes for these people? I mean, really.

Uh, Dan, you dipshit. The only reason your party controls things in Texas is through cheating. If it was a fair election with easy access to the ballot without gerrymandering, you’d lose. And you know it.

When wingnuts are talking to each other, they think they’re the only ones who can hear themselves. I think it’s a side-effect of all the dogwhistling.

My thought was “unclear pronoun reference” but yours is better.

Only 5 more days until the nightmare is over.

Ware a mask and practice social distancing and wash your hands often and vote for BIDEN/HARRIS.
