He DOES KNOW you can actually buy a short sleeve shirt, am I right? Everytime I see tht guy he has a long sleeved shirt rolled up. Every time.

Faux News will then run with it, and it will be up to the legit media to mount a full frontal assault against the bs.

If Trump loses in a landslide, he will still call for armed resistance. It seems inevitable.

Sep 2020

From the article:

"The president is urging his voters to go to the polls that day while Democrats out of concern for health, are urging mail-in balloting. "

Actually, the Trump campaign is urging voters to vote by mail. I've goyten flyers and robocalls from the Trump campaign asking me to vote by mail. The flyers contain application for an absentee ballot.

Headline from an article at Fox News:

"Trump encourages Florida to vote by mail, calls system 'Safe and Secure'"

because it's easier to "cheat" with voting machines and paper ballots, and it's all a scam to get people NOT to vote by mail! because he knows mail in votes will help Democrats win!

in order to maximize voting volume.

They're betting on Democrats voting mostly by mail, IMO.

Something to talk about.

Anytime I see one of thsee op-eds that refer to "some say" or some other baloney, I want to use it for toilet paper, because that's all it's worth doing with it.

I can make up bullshit too, just pay me enough and I'll be happy to.

Actually it might be 9pm ET because Florida will go for Biden. Michigan, Ohio, etc...Trump will be the
"loser" before polls in California close. Hard to believe, but that is what will happen.

He will do it before results are all in, and then he'll start screaming that we're cheating and 'double voting." There is absolutely NO doubt in my mind after watching this nasty piece of SHIT for the last 3.5 years. . . .

The article does not say.

Why would any sane person fear something that would be meaningless?
