"Problem ballots," as he calls them.

The idea of elections is a problem for Orange Amin.

"We should just cancel the election and just give it to me!"

and the number of people here who embrace fascist ideals has strengthened my resolve to work harder to nullify them.

Luckily, Cheeto always gives away his game (dementia?) - which makes him that much easier to defeat.

May all this be behind us soon - though as you pointed out, this neo-fascist threat will still be with us.

Today's GOP, after all, is the only major party in the developed world to meet all 14 criteria for fascism.

If it quacks like a duck...

The items read like the republicant's playbook.

Right down the line to (14) Fraudulent elections.

Thanks for mentioning that.

So it would be north of 250 million now (registered, over 160 million).

Turnout last time was 55.7%; it'll probably be around 60% this time (150 million votes) - maybe more, thanks to the boom in mail-in.

No wonder the Fat Bastard's re-election strategy is just to have the Extremes throw out all mail-in ballots in one fell swoop.

"Because we say so!"

Here's hoping voting will be compulsory someday soon - with plenty of early voting and mail-in options, of course.

The GOPee would be reduced to third party status.
