Iā€™ve heard a lot of the military votes by mail too. Are those votes fraudulent? Also he needs to be asked how much of the alleged fraud is from Democratic votersā€¦just to see how absurd his answer would be.

Trumpā€™s new ridiculous ā€œhave it both waysā€ narrative is that heā€™s both a powerful wartime president making tough and strong decisions, and (whenever confronted with his direct quotes playing down the coronavirus) heā€™s also ā€œAmericaā€™s cheerleaderā€ who blows sunshine up our collective asses because he doesnā€™t want to incite panic.

When we said ā€œjust the fluā€ we really meant ā€œholy shit just like the Spanish fluā€.

Yeah. Thatā€™s the ticket.

And of course have to say Spanish flu to justify calling the this the China virus.

Well those are obviously sealed and secure and when these big strong military squarejaws submit them they have tears in their eyes, these big rough and tough guys, and they hand in their secure ballots with military stamps and seals on them, they have tears and they say, ā€œSir, sir here is my patriotic ballot that hasnā€™t been out of my sight and you have my vote, Sir.ā€

Canā€™t some hacker bust into the Fox News feed and run their own chyron during these things?

His base is probably already 100% behind this as a way to handwave away all of his previous downplaying. If it hasnā€™t been pushed by Hannity it will be today.

Haha. That would be funny, but would be hard for hackers to control both the chyron and the button the director uses to put the chyron over the video.

Along the lines of Rivermanā€™s trolling suggestion and perhaps easier to implement, I think it would be great if White House Press corps just started laughing at him when he spews some bullshit. That would send his lawnmower into orbit.

Iā€™m pretty sure theyā€™re all reflexively holding back laughter now. They donā€™t even have to do anything fancy. Just telling everyone to react normally to bullshit would go a long way.

Would you believe that monologue was not in the book? The Coens wrote it for the adaptation, but it sounds as though it was lifted word for word from McCarthy.

The original monologue:

I sent one boy to the gas chamber at Huntsville. One and one only. My arrest and my testimony. I went up there and visited with him two or three times. Three times. The last time was the day of his execution. I didnā€™t have to go but I did. I sure didnā€™t want to. Heā€™d killed a fourteen year old girl and I can tell you right now I never did have no great desire to visit with him let alone go to his execution but I have done it. The papers said it was a crime of passion and he told me there wasnā€™t no passion to it.

Nobody can ever explain why voter fraud would legitimately be partisan. It is such a ridiculous topic and just baked racism.

Reminds me of Judge Smails

ā€œIā€™ve sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didnā€™t want to do it but I felt I owed it to them.ā€
