If he can find anyone out in the open. The really pathetic thing about all of this is that he doesn’t give a shit about the presidency, voting, the people, or much of anything else other than being branded a LOSER. He doesn’t care about being the president, but he dreads being tagged with LOSER. News flash for you Donny: YOU’RE A FUCKING LOSER! ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > The Atlantic article should more accurately be titled “Trump Brazenly Attempts to Sow Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt About the Validity of the Upcoming Election”. He can’t stop states from distributing absentee ballots, or going all-in on all-mail elections. Elections are under state control. It’s also very uncertain that he could shut off funding to the states. I quick-read that as Trump Brazenly Attempts to _Slow_ Fear… and wondered for a moment if you’d lost your mind. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Completely oblivious to the fact that those were _applications_ for absentee ballots! Update: He deleted that tweet after getting a smack down from Jocelyn Benson, the Michigan Secretary of State, and replaced it with the exact same tweet except he added “applications” It makes even less sense now. ---

From Snopes: > [@](#): > > Trump has used the absentee voting system in at least three elections: Trump voted by mail during New York’s mayoral election in 2017, cast an absentee ballot during the state’s midterm election the following year, and again used a vote-by-mail ballot in Florida’s primary election in 2020. So, maybe it really is an indication of illegal activity. ---

He’s also attacking Nevada for the same thing, apparently not realizing that the Nevada Secretary of State is a Republican. The only statewide Republican in the whole state. ---

Conor Lamb (D-Pa.), a Marine Corps veteran, as an “American fraud” and “puppet for Crazy Nancy Pelosi” as the president endorsed the lawmaker’s rival on Monday. > > Trump goofed up the attack, referring to Conor Lamb as “Connor Lamm” as he pitched Republican candidate Sean Parnell in the election for Lamb’s Pennsylvania seat. > > Trump appeared to be unaware that Lamb, far from being Pelosi’s “puppet,” was one of only 15 Democrats in the House who did not vote for her to become speaker in 2017. _More at the link._ ---

I wonder if Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will finally do the right thing in response to the [plea from the husband of deceased Lori Klausutis](https://www.axios.com/trump-tweets-scarborough-staffer-death-twitter-delete-936c7d26-6df7-4faf-a3ee-506c437864f4.html).
