@ 5:33 the interviewee says: “…[the people in the caravan] could have gotten asylum, they turned it down!..”
Within the realm of bald-faced lies, that one ranks at skull-face.
I think he’d like a dossel. It’s like the top of a four-poster bed, but mobile.
Damn, those prizes that come in the box sure have changed since I was a kid.
Someone at DHS must have told the President that there were some prospective low-pay, undocumented groundskeepers for his golf courses in the “Central American terrorist caravan.” I can’t think of why else he’s said so little about it since Election Day.
Dossels and umbrellas are soft objects which appeal to liberals. Even a roof is kind of wimpy sounding. The MAGAspeak dictionary recommends the stronger term “horizontal walls” to protect against H2O invasions.
He could even get a Marine to hold it for him if he can’t get his digits around the handle.
Holy Heaven. That horse’s hind-end actually said, “But the E-mails.”
If no ID was shown, then why couldn’t you instead switch hats and give them a different name? As long as it matches someone on the roll who hasn’t voted yet, then you can pose as them. IIRC voter rolls are often public records, so finding a list of extra names to use might not be a big problem. (Heck, you could even make a note of some of the names on the big spreadsheet you sign for your real vote.) If you show up at the polling station early enough, you have a good chance of voting before anyone you want to impersonate.
And a good chance of a prison sentence. Other people in line may be that person’s neighbors, or the poll workers may know that person. Who would take that risk for an extra vote that likely wouldn’t make a difference?
No, I’d say there’s a rather small chance of getting caught. The rolls for any given voting station are large enough that the people working there, and the people in line, will collectively know only a small fraction of the voters. Still, even if I were the sort of person who would want to tamper with an election, the risk of impersonating another voter is big enough that I would never do it myself.
Anyway, I’m not saying that this sort of fraud is widespread, or even that it’s happened at all. I’m just trying to provide a more plausible scenario than the one envisaged by Locrian. That is, if they’re not checking ID, then the best way of double voting is to impersonate another voter, not to try to cast two votes for yourself by convincing the polling staff that they crossed off the wrong name.
I seem to recall, as a child, watching TV news footage of US Marine helicopters fly through all kinds of weather and combat conditions–rain, winds, enemy fire–in Vietnam.
But a few days ago, a US Marine helicopter could not fly through a simple rain in France?
I am sure that it could–but Mr. Trump did not want it to.
Mr. Trump pisses me off in many ways, but not paying respects to fallen American servicemen on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, just because it was raining, takes the cake. His helicopter could fly in the conditions; he just didn’t want it to.
Well, in his defense, it must take three or four hours to get that coif just right.
When I was at my polling place last week, I saw the poll workers questioning someone because they didn’t feel her signature looked enough like the signature on the books. I believe she ended up showing ID. I registered to vote 35+ years ago, before I had jobs that required me to sign things frequently. So my signature on the voter books is very legible and deliberate, not like the scribble I usually use. And I’m careful to sign deliberately when I vote.
So even if you glanced at the book, saw the name of someone that hadn’t voted, and gave that name to the poll worker, you’d still need to be able to credibly forge their signature, which I think most people would find difficult - and risky.
Not to mention that it just doesn’t make sense. Your vote is a one in a million thing, a small drop in a big bucket. Who would risk a felony conviction in order to put two small drops in the great big bucket?
Or maybe his trained marmoset has a contractual “no rain” clause.
In my state I don’t have to show an I.D. At first. But I do have to identify myself, and sign on the line. The signature must be a close match, or else an I.D. can be asked for. To attempt to vote in place of a random person is so unlikely that we can call it not EVEN unlikely.
Convincing an election worker that they scratched off the wrong name would be not even even unlikely.
What wold you expect him to talk about. The problem was identified and steps taken. Why keep talking about it? Just so the left can complain, “He keeps talking about the caravan!”?
Trump supporters: Ex-GOP Official Who Accused Dems Of Voter Fraud Charged With Voter Fraud | HuffPost Latest News
“Curtis isn’t the only Trump supporter to have been charged with voter fraud. Terri Lynn Rote was arrested in October after she apparently tried to vote twice, the Des Moines Register reported.”
And another thing about Trump’s claim that one can simply change outfits and then vote again. You know who would believe that such a thing were possible? Someone who doesn’t vote. If Trump voted for himself I wouldn’t be surprised if that was his first and only vote.
Thanks – I needed a laugh today!
“Problem”… ha ha ha. “Steps”… HA HA!
I love it. Comedy gold.
So, just an amazing coincidence that the inflection point of this storied solution occurred precisely on election day? C’mon, even you can’t believe that.
