"When the President said they found a lot of ballots in the river: Where is the river?"

Press Secretary - doesn't answer.

Also, the Pennsylvania incident did not involve a "ditch" or fraud. The have so few "examples" to point to, and she can't even get the facts right on those. She is practically trembling up there.

She has no morals, no sense of decency, and no sense of honesty. She is just like Trump. She is a totally immoral and evil person. Otherwise she couldn't possibly perform the way she does as his press secretary.

Oct 2020

A reporter asks a question about the president's claim of ballots found in a creek and the press secretary scolds him for the press not digging further into the issue.

If any of you still communicate with Republicans, show them this and tell them it's why we look at them like they're stuck in a bad romance. He's lying and we can't believe you can't see the bullshit he's feeding you.

Which is the campaign's entire strategy: Don't trust your lying eyes and ears. Just believe us as we make it up.

These are not reliable narrators; they're simply mouthing the prepared script. The current press secretary isn't informing the press, she's merely touting the company line for an audience of one--Trump.

The entire fiasco is disgusting.

"Do you think we don't know how to use Google, K-Lie? So, since we couldn't find a single iota of evidence on these supposed ballots showing up in a river or who this mysterious they are, I'll rephrase the question.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE NAME OF THE FUCKING RIVER AND WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?"

going "up the river".

If it's an accusation, it's projection.

If it's a vague reference with no clarity, it's anxiety about a specific outcome.

She left a good job in the city where she was working for the man every night and day.
She never lost one minute of sleeping worrying about the ways things might have been.
But the big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolln', rollin', ballots on the river.

voided ballots that weren't properly facing in the right direction when placed in the envelopes, seem they threw a bunch away, don't think a river was involved, no fraud, just repug dirty tricks.
