State voting records show that Barr, resident of Fairfax Co, VA, voted by mail in 2019 & 2012.

Like Trump, Barr has himself voted absentee. State voting records show that Barr, a resident of Fairfax County, Va., in the suburbs of Washington, voted by mail in 2019 and 2012.

So Bill Barr is on Fox now claiming that mail-in voting will bring fraud. Good grief. What a hack Barr has turned out to be. He just keeps going lower and lower for Trump.

2. also- the failed Tulsa rally shows that even repugs will avoid going out due to covid

so even in person voting from repugs will be dramatically lower. If they are not willing to go see trump in person, some may stay home. My point is that trump's attack on voting by mail is also hurting his own stupid supporters.

Trump is not a billionaire successful businessman and the A.G. Bill Barr is not about enforcing the laws
or speaking the truth.

This reminds me of the stories that Hitler was Jewish on his dad's side of the family.

So Trump, Barr, and Kayleigh Mcenany all voted by mail?

4. Well, you see, they are allowed to vote by mail because they are white.

You, me, all Dems, and "those brown people" need to stand in line for 8 hours to cast a vote.

... so they have to cheat and pack the courts to keep power.

South Carolina is 35% African American and 11% and growing hispanic
it should be a fairly solid blue state in the not too distance future.

7. Both racial and rural/city demographic changes will doom them

And they know it.

They want to rule America like the white Afrikaners did in South Africa, a minority rule apartheid system.

They are in for a rude awakening.

And they are terrified.
