President Trump is continuing his crusade against statewide voting-by-mail, a program many states are working to expand for the November general election to make voting safer as the country continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump is going to recklessly beat and smash the voting process with his sledgehammer - and he doesnât care if he destroys the system ⌠because that is in fact, his intent.
The more it looks like he is losing the majority of the country - the more he will try to instigate angry mobs who will violently & leathlely disrupt the voting process.
Rather than run on his record, Trump is setting the stage to cast the election results as tainted and not legit. He and the RNC throw a distraction from his poor management of the pandemic rather than own up to 100,000 dead Americans on their watch.
He will leave no stone unturned, either to affect the results or to taint them if he loses. The funny thing is, though, that besides there being virtually no voter fraud* in the US, and that mail-in voting doesnât tend to affect outcomes (Republican versus Democratic), both red and blue states are pursuing this. Mail-in voting could be one good thing that comes out of this pandemic.
*I heard a statistic that there have been 37 documented cases of voter fraud over the years, covering billions of votes cast.
In a Tuesday morning tweet, Trump baselessly__________ [fill in the blank]
Trump is being especially cruel and evil today.
After the widower of Lori Klausutis wrote a letter (which was published with consent in the NYT and read with consent on Morning Joe) to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey begging him to remove Trumpâs tweets that cruelly slander his deceased wife, Trump decided to tweet some more about Loriâs death.
Trump has also tweeted that if it wasnât for him and how well he did his job, that we would have lost up to 2 million people to COVID-19. We should be thankful that that only â100,000 plusâ will have died.
Trump and the Republicans want to force in-person voting because they know the liberals will stay home just like they did in Wisconsin. OhâŚwait.
President Tirade is an idiot.
âŚand here we go. âFake election! Fraud! I won! I won! Itâs all the DEMOCRATS! Obama! Hillary! Ukraine!â It will be non stop until election dayâŚand after, when he loses.
Trump knows that if he loses the election, this will result in serious negative consequences both legally and financially. He cannot afford to lose. He will use every lever he can pull to ensure that doesnât happen.
He is setting the stage. For what? I shudder to think.
The end times must be near, Iâm starting to sound like Castor_Troy.
Does TPM have some burning need to lead every column with a picture of the Murderer-in-Chiefâs disgusting face? Iâm being serious. You guys seem to find new and âbetterâ (so to speak) ways to stick his ugly mug where thereâs only a tenuous connection. [Yes, I realize this story is about him.] Iâm one of those persons who turns off the radio when I hear his disgusting voice, and leave the room (if I canât change the channel) when heâs on TV.
I have heard that some people are triggered by clowns; otherwise Iâd suggest posting a pic of Pennywise instead of the Murderer-in-Chief (since theyâre both evil, murderous clowns). But Iâm sure there are other alternatives.
Trump has no conscience. He accused Scarborough of murder without any basis. He claims- without proof- that Scarborough and Lori Klausutis had an affair. He does all of this without regard for the womanâs husband or her family. Anything to distract from 100,000 dead Americans. His corrupt and depraved indifference to truth and human life knows no bounds.
Matt Breunig has been saying approximately the same thing; Breunig also talked about how Obamacare has saved only 30,000 lives per year, so the Murderer-in-Chiefâs record is actually better. FSM spare us from these morons.
You best nip that in the bud.
One of the replies to Trumpâs tweet about only losing â100,000 plusâ AmericansâŚ
This maybe part of whatâs bothering Trump also: Seniors vote!
A very encouraging sign:
Yet for months, Biden has been more popular than Trump with seniors. A national poll of registered voters released by Quinnipiac University last week shows Biden leading by 10 points among voters over 65. A Quinnipiac poll in late April found 52 percent of Florida seniors supporting Biden to 42 percent for Trump, while a Fox News poll around the same time found Biden narrowly ahead.
Dart boards across the country require regular replenishment.
I know itâs been said before but it bears repeating 
O/T We just crossed the 100k threshold. Sad day all around.
âWords can be powerful, but talkative fools make things worse. They donât know how to shut up. Theyâre incapable of silence. They think that if they keep talking, theyâll eventually say something true. But even if they hit the truth, they wonât have the sense to know it. They canât tell where theyâre going or where theyâve been. They canât even tell where they are! Fools drift aimlessly. A nation is in big trouble if its rulers are demagogues and its lawmakers are drunks. Laziness in high places leads to broken windows, leaky roofs, and weak walls.â

living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get [a ballot].
When we moved to Colorado and registered to vote at the DMV nobody asked us how we got here. A clear case of rampant voter fraud.
That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote.
Kind of like the RNC and every political campaign in the history of forever. The only way to save us from the patent fraud of elections is to return to the fair and honored system of primogeniture.
