Re: Trump floats idea of delaying the November election

Mystery seeds from China are landing in Americans' mailboxes

Oh, man. That is a whole refrigerator box full of crazy.

Re: Trump floats idea of delaying the November election

We have determined that these seeds are chinese! They smell like comoonism.

Yes but are they demon seeds, born after you gheys had sex with Satan in your dreams?

Re: Trump raises idea of election ‘delay’ as he makes unsupported claims of mail-in voting fraud

It's not much of an article because it just happened less than 15 mins ago, but...

Welp.... Here we go folks! Trump finally is beginning to take the polls seriously.

Well, only Congress decides when elections are held, not a president.

But we can already see his strategy: Complain beforehand that mail in voting fraudulent, contrary to everything we know, and then when he loses, file some-kind of lawsuit that holds back counting the votes of electors in disputed states in order to throw the vote to the House, where Republicans have the advantage.

Re: Trump floats idea of delaying the November election

If you can protest, you can vote in person.

Everybody knows what you're trying to do with mail-in ballots.

Just like everyone knows you have no intention of letting your candidate even debate.

You are fooling no one.

Can you explain what your mail-in ballot theory is? I have heard Trump talk about the possibility of fraud. AG Barr said he had no evidence that fraud would happen, it was just common sense. Ballots would be easy for some other country to counterfeit.

I for one can't seem to think of how such a fraud would be perpetrated.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Its a primary. I am an independent, so I can choose which ballot to vote for.

Most everything is unopposed, but there is a candidate for state senate that I wanted to vote for.

But next ballot....I vote Trump OUT

Yes but how many ballots did you complete? I assume the kids Trump told us steal ballots from mailboxes gave you at least 50 to fill out?

2. You really don't know what that court case said, did you, it never said he couldn't rollback DACA, it said he couldn't do it in the way he wanted to, he had to do it a different way...

The process of rolling back DACA has to follow the process outlined by the general body of Administrative law that has developed over our Republic's history. The executive branch does not have a choice. It must follow the process outlined by the body of Administrative law. The Supreme Court said the executive branch has to do things a particular way (fair, orderly, just). And they are still not doing it. Trump is now openly and brazenly engaging in Fascist strategies. And Trump will start disobeying the Supreme Court in other areas as well. The only thing stopping Trump now is an American public that wants to live in a free country, free from the tyranny of Fascism.

Nah, I didn't have sex with Satan in my dreams. I did with a succubus, though. Even in dreams--no males! :2mad:

LMAO watch the left go absolutely bat**** crazy over this....while missing something that's actually serious go on......

No matter what misguided views one may have about mail-in voting, every American of every political persuasion should go bat **** over Trump's suggestion.

All of these threads should be merged. As I wrote in one of the other’s...

Only Congress decides when elections are held, not a president.

But we can already see his strategy: Complain beforehand that mail in voting fraudulent, contrary to everything we know, and then when he loses, file some-kind of lawsuit that holds back counting the votes of electors in disputed states in order to throw the vote to the House, where Republicans have the advantage.

It's easy. First you gather the signatures of millions of people. Then you hire a forgery expert to sign the ballots...really really fast.

Welp.... Here we go folks! Trump finally is beginning to take the polls seriously.

For a view outside of the White House, you can try "Trump floats election ‘delay’ amid unsubstantiated claims of voting fraud" (from The Globe and Mail).

For the view from the crickets, you can go back and review all of the posts from "conservatives" who were claiming that Mr. Obama was going to cancel the 2012 and 2016 elections to see which posters live by

​

or, as Joseph Welch put it

Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
​

and which have at least some slim vestige of moral backbone left.

It seems that he's trying to spin a narrative already. I just hope that if/when he loses he doesn't trying to explode this into a full on crisis.

Re: Trump raises idea of election ‘delay’ as he makes unsupported claims of mail-in voting fraud

I'm defending it, by calling it in an idiotic statement and saying he literally can't do it.....well ****, that's a new way to defend something....

I covered this response in my post. "All" he's doing is engaging in a coordinated effort with Consigliere Barr and others to delegitimize mail in voting, which will happen in big numbers, and therefore seed distrust in the election results. This isn't some idiot talk show host - that's the President doing it.

And it's funny to you. It's not to the rest of us who are not morons or dedicated Trump cultists.

Perhaps, but more so, I think he's putting ideas into the heads of his supporters. He's setting them up, like he always does.

What's funny is your lack of faith in people in general that don't think the way you do.....

It's taken one person to show how truly ****ed up Washington is.....and pitted party against party......and to me, that's ****ing hilarious...I bet you thought the House hearing with Barr was a good thing that happened...

Agreed, but let's not forget that he did this on the same day the dismal numbers for the second qtr came out, maybe trying to deflect.

Vote by mail works, in AZ 80% use vote by mail. This week, I received my ballot for next week's primary election.

View attachment 67289406

I filled it out, and signed it, my signature is on file at the recorder's office.

I sent it in, and registered with the recorder so that I would receive texts when they got the ballot, and when my signature was verified, and that my vote has been counted. This is NOT a provisional ballot, my vote has already been counted.

I got the texts for each step, as shown here:

All the scare tactics in the world won't work because Voting by mail works!

Voting by mail should be available to every voter in the country. It's great to sit down for a while over the course of several nights and research each candidate, issue, and judge. It's great to get into the minutiae of each question, answer a few of them each night, and still return the ballot before it's due. Mail-in voting actually produces better informed voters (for those who care to be better informed).

Voter suppression is key to his election strategy.

It's always the key to Republican elections. .... This time, however, with a 55% disapproval rating (and climbing), I don't think they can suppress enough votes to hide from the outrage of the country, as a whole, with the Republican party. It will be a bloodbath (politically speaking) for the elephant people on November 3.... even with voter suppression.

It's time to call Trump what he is, a fascist and a traitor.

Well, no. You all should become familiar with the Constitution. :roll:

In the case of the 2020 election, any delay is in the Democrats favor.

The Constitutional remedy for delaying an election (yes, it makes room for it), should the delay in EC vote extend past inauguration, is for the House to elect an interim president.

Do you support delaying the election, yes or no?
