Just wait till we find out how much mail in voting focus is distracting us from them rigging the in person voting machines…
END. GAME.
I mean, they get you coming and going that way. Force you to use them by destroying mail in voting and make sure they record a vote for Trump no matter which button you press…

The Trump administration places high importance on transparency, as you can see by how transparent this is.

“inflammable”
Never could understand why people got that word wrong, since it comes from the word “inflame”. Oh, well. I guess we needed the word “unflammable” for the dunderheads.
Although there is a word, “uninflammable”, but that would probably just make their heads explode.

Thankfully Arizona has paper ballots. If my ballot is not sent to me on time I can get a blank one at my county Registrar’s office, fill that bad boy out as they watch and hand it back to them.

Well, they could always point out that Donnie and his wife are using Mar-a-Lago as their residence, even though their agreement with the local government was that they wouldn’t do this. It’s not Pennsylvanian dropbox fraud, but clearly it’s only a small step from this to printing multiple ballots for your dogs!

The latest. With a bonus appearance of someone who is actually fit for the office at the very end.

Actually, I think it evolved from “go to the mat”, which I believe derived from wrestling (as in, “go all out to knock them down and pin them to the mat”).
I wasn’t aware how this has evolved into something from American gangster movies, but definitely heard the “mat” version while on a school wrestling team back in 8th grade.

As I said above, totally unrelated, did not evolve from “go to the mat”. “Go to the mattresses” means to hide out in poorly furnished temporary digs, eg. just mattresses on the floor. From The Godfather.

Just imaging the hair on fire reactions from the goobers if Obama had behaved like trump…for which the goobers sit silently by.
And as we sit and type our posts Barr is getting ready to unload on Biden and smear hom as an Obama lackey who drips corruption of the worst sort. Of course the Lincoln project could fire up an hour solid of trump scandals giving each about 30 seconds of explanation and finish with trump’s 20,000 and counting lies.

Just a quick reminder: w/ the previous patterns of psychological projection at work in/with Republican’ts–and this pResident, in particular–an accusation of theirs against Democrats is often best understood as a confession.
So, when Cult45 says this will be a fraudulent election–they need to be investigated as to what frauds they will be perpetrating.

Got to love that Judge Ranjan issued order 8/13 requiring production of supplemental responses and responsive documents no later than 8/14!

Weird co-inky-dink.
Fight until one side or another is victorious, as in The governor said he’d go to the mat for this bill. This term comes from wrestling and evokes the holding of an opponent when both contestants are down on the mat, the padded floor-covering used in matches. It has been used figuratively since about 1900.
