Just for the sake of clarity and simplicity, instead of calling it the White House, just call it the Lie House.

Of course they’ll want to call it the White Lie House 'cause, you know, racism is part of their brand.

Clearly, it’s no skin off Trump’s nose if his supporters take his nitwit advice and commit voter fraud. Similarly, I doubt he was worried about Michael Cohen’s legal liability when Cohen was dashing around making hush money payments to adult film stars.

There is nothing to verify…Trump committed felony - Period!

Where is your self respect McEnany? Or should I ask, do you have any self respect at all?

Georgetown and Harvard University…is this the example of your graduates now? Shame on you too if you do not speak out against one of your student’s repeated and shameless mendacity!

Look on the bright side. At least he’s soliciting election interference in our own country instead of abroad.

A deep game (in the minds of the fevered-brained Base)…one in which “the president said so” and “I made an honest mistake” are paltry penalties juxtaposed with the opportunity to actually vote twice.

“The president is not suggesting anyone do anything unlawful,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insisted, by way of explaining the president having suggested that everyone do something unlawful.

Even if it were true that Trump was suggesting that his supporters vote by mail and then show up at the polling place on election day to confirm that their ballot was received and would be counted, having masses of non-voters show up on election day would create delay and confusion, which is exactly what Trump wants.

As with almost everything else in this maladministration, even the benign after-the-fact rationalization leads to nefarious results.

From Wiki

A graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard University,

and

Cotton was accepted to Harvard after graduating from high school in 1995, and majored in government. At Harvard, Cotton was a member of the editorial board of The Harvard Crimson , often dissenting from the liberal majority.[5] In articles, Cotton addressed what he saw as “sacred cows” such as affirmative action.[6] He graduated with an A.B. magna cum laude in 1998 after only three years of study, having written his senior thesis on The Federalist Papers .[4]

After graduating from Harvard, Cotton was accepted into a master’s degree program at Claremont Graduate University. He left in 1999, saying that he found academic life “too sedentary”, and instead enrolled at Harvard Law School.[4] Cotton graduated from Harvard Law School with a J.D. degree in 2002.[7]

WTF is going on at Harvard? I thought liberal institutions like Harvard were supposed to brain wash people into being liberals?

Well at least we know there is no admission system that is keeping the GOP out of Haravard, yet they will still “straw man” that!

If the election were a baseball game, Trump would be arguing that his team’s batters get four strikes. No, sorry, Trump just tweeted again, five strikes. And that the other team has bribed the umpire to give them three strikes.

If this were a baseball game, Trump would long ago have been ejected. Sigh.

Yeah. It’s not normal to the point of being downright felonious.

It is not normal for the president to encourage voter fraud, attack mail-in voting and try to stop states from sending out VBM applications and using ballot drop boxes. Perhaps most frightening is that the media won’t call this out for what it is–an assault on Democracy.

For all of Trump’s crazy, there is something really, really off about Barr (as in sinister, not MWPTC, way)…his contempt when he is questioned by MoCs and serious journalists, his feigned ignorance of obvious legal questions, and willingness to lie, repeatedly. He’s dangerous.

Having some people vote twice seems to be the very definition of “fixing” an election.

Oh, did Kayleigh lie about something or other again? Was she unprofessional again? Was she all smirky and annoying and high school again? Just trying to stay abreast of current events. Hobby of mine.

Cotton, McEnany, the Mooch, Rosenstein, Dershowitz. The Trump years have tarnished the HLS rep, to be sure.
