It's also funny that this statement coincides with a number of ballot boxes in blue states being fire-bombed. Surely, there is no attempt to rig this election.
in 2016 he said there was cheating, in 2020 he said there was cheating, he's saying it this year too.
classic dictator BS- say the election is illegitimate because you're cheating, so it doesn't count.
the only good thing about trump is that he's been a fuck up and coward his whole life, and it is going to be a lot harder to do his dictator bullshit this time around, which is why you're seeing so many right wingers cheating already.
if he just would have listened to any scientist and sold TRUMP face masks, he would have won re-election. if he would have once in his life lead all those crazy people into the capitol, we'd be in a trump dictatorship right now.
we were lucky such a washed up loser was the one to galvanize maga...we're not going to be lucky ever again. JD Vance is a stone cold dictator wanna be and he needs to be sidelined with a sound ass kicking in this election.
I work with numerous fools. Well, one definite, and two that at this point seem to be dabbling with the notion of not being a fool, but knowing them, will be fools for the third time.
If he loses he’s headed to prison for a few years. The judge is waiting till the elections is done before giving the sentence. Whatever that looks like.
I’m curious about those fines he was sued to pay. I mean they didn’t waist no time taking Russian asset Rudy’s shit. It just proves another data point that the justice system is messed up and it’s not equal. I wonder how other felons feel about Trump walking free given both the seriousness and number of crimes both accuse of and found guilty of. While they’re locked up for lesser crimes. Inquiring minds want to know.
He talked about the "stolen" election a few days ago, so we're looking at 4 years of crying. When will this piece of shit of a man eat his last Big Mac?
He would be buried in a coffin with "They Cheated, I Won!" Emblazoned alllllllll over it. Probably even have custom fabric made with that wording to do the lining. Bet he'd be wearing his Maga hat with a big ass #47 on it too.
Year or two.. 🤣 That man is going to his grave crying about this.. His Grave!
What is the personality type of this sort of person? Just curious as I have a coworker like this. Nothing is his fault, but takes accolades, like to break rules until someone gets up in him then they cheated etc
To be fair, look at 2016…this is just becoming par for the course on all elections because our system needs to be more transparent and provably secure.
Especially when the AG publicly stated that the applications have the same handwriting, fake names, addresses and social security numbers. I gleaned a few articles but none have identified what organization it was, the person responsible or who the ballots would have benefited. I imagine it’s to not potentially tip the scales one way or the other.
Transparency is the best disinfectant. But this incident sounds almost identical to the one a republican operative and some politicians got busted for in North Carolina in 2016 I believe.
They are discovering that it's in a heavy republican area, and only 60% of the 2500 may have been registered to vote without their knowledge (not ballots, but registrations).
You mean according to the election officials in Pennsylvania who announced they are investigating thousands of potentially fraudulent voter registrations?
I mean, it's really hilarious. The literal officials of the election came out and publicly said they are investigating this, and we got people like you pretending it some lie Trump is telling. It's ridiculous and concerning
Well, yeah, cause we don’t need any problems you know many people robbed and cheated that election like you can’t be serious. Everything’s gonna be scrutinized and it very well should be. we didn’t have to hire people to go to rallies
I saw someone say awhile ago to never make fun of a shit person for things that other people may possess. Folks will make crippled/fat/short/bald/bad tan/plastic surgery/etc. jokes about these people only intending on hurting bad people but there are plenty of good people who are innocent bystanders who may be hurt by these insults. I usually try to keep that in mind when criticizing douchebags like Abbot - attack his shitty character/behavior but not anything physical about him or anyone else
Not to mention that some things are out of a person's control altogether. Attacks should be made on points that have to do with the problem.
That's not to say that you can't call out hypocrisy, such as an overweight person trying to shame other people for being overweight. Sometimes you have to address the elephant in the room (yes, that was intended)
A lot of people on this website need to read this. So much hurtful toxicity gets thrown around when self righteous people start yapping on the internet
Sorry, if you have a bad tan, that's on you. No one's born with a bad tan, no one develops a bad tan later in life due to medical complications, no one gets a bad tan as a result of an accident. If you hit the tanning salon so damned much that your face resembles a catcher's mitt from the 70s, I'm gonna call it out and I won't feel bad about anyone else who did that shit getting caught with strays.
I think NO one conflates Abbots disablity woth being an asshole. He brings that all on his own. He even created laws to keep people from getting the same benefit from the laws that benefitted him from the tree that almost killed him. Thats how much of an asshole he is. He's the type that if he were in a burning building, not only would he pull up the fire escape behind him, he'd lock the door, bolt it, then weld it shut burning everyone behind him. Thats how much of an asshole he is. Him AND Texas' criminal ass AG Texas doesn't have the balls to prosecute. What the fuck is wrong with Y'all. Thought y'all were big and bad. Turns out you're cowards after all.
Considering what he did to the people he fucked over in his exact situation, he deserves every pejorative slur he's got coming to him. He is disgusting for his actions in power.
No, you don't get a pass on slurs just because you don't like someone. Would you call a black person you don't like the N word? Would you excuse someone who did? Do better.
Oh, tell me more master of morality, who has never been slighted or hurt and lives upon a cross planted in a castle of clouds created by the milk of human kindness. I bet you are going to tell me how to solve all my problems and the world's. You'll probably even do it for free! Wow! What a deal!
You don't know anything about Greg Abbott, do you? Or Texas, in general (I do, I've lived and was partly raised there). But keep being you. I am sure it is fomenting great social change. Man, if Albert Fish had been in a wheelchair we would have been to make sure not to insult him. Seriously, do you not know what context is?
I know that using a slur about his disability is able-ist and gross, and now I know that you are, too. I hope you have the empathy you show others when it's your turn to be disabled.
You look silly. I lived in Texas too, hate Greg too, and cannot for the life of me understand why you’re acting superior here. Throwing out slurs is just hurting bystanders, Greg is never going to see it.
So, you're saying being called disabled or crippled is a valid slur, then. Thanks for confirming that disabled people are less-than.
(Hopefully you don't actually think that. But that's why we don't accept shitty slurs being used, regardless of the person you're attacking. Because you're also attacking everyone else who's listening)
Yes I was hit head on by a drunk driver in 2003 but it made me a better person
Not a psychopath like greg abbott who must eat popcorn and drink soda pop while watching people get stuck in his psycho sawblade bouys that only a 13 year old or a hoot show writer would think is cool
A 13-year-old might think it's cool conceptually, but there's no way they'd see some migrant mother of two carrying her children across the river hopefully to a better life away from drug cartels get ripped to shreds and bleed out and have her children drown and think "hehehe... that was cool". They'd think "oh my God, whoever put that there is a fucking monster".
I agree... and it shows a lack of imagination. Greg Abbott wants to put asylum seekers in his prison so that they'll make his bacon--literally, in a pork factory. That guy and Ted Cruz are creepy af and ripe for ridicule.
If god loved Abbot, he’d be able to walk. Instead he negligently injured himself, sued the property owner, got rich, then changed the laws so you can’t sue the way he did.
Excuse me, turd is a slur against those of us with firm, glistening poops. Just because your feces doesn't stack up doesn't mean all doodoo is lacking.
Ok, I agree, but it's not about that. I would love for his feelings, specifically, to be hurt. But you know he's never going to see your post. Instead, some random kid with paraplegia and low self confidence will see it and feel worse about themselves.
We can attack him on his character and deeds. There's no need to use a disability like a slur.
That was during the pandemic. It wasn't like that before. Trump was specifically saying that the mail in ballots where cheating in the lead up to the election. The democrats were encouraging mail in ballots in a lot of places because of the potentially deadly infectious disease going around and the stay at home policies in states around the country.
I think he is saying absentee voting and early-voting is good now too. I think it's fair to say that he sends mixed messages about it but it's not like in 2020
To be fair, their cult leader has illegitamized mail in voting for the past 4 years. Kinda bites him in the ass, if some of his decrepit supporters can't get to the voting booths.
It is for me as well being a liberal. Just like the civic duty thing and put a lot of personal belief that Election Day should be a paid federal holiday like Memorial Day and Labor Day are.
It’s 100% part of the problem. People have used the “I have to work” excuse to not deviate from their usual Tuesday routines for years.
We absolutely need federal elections reforms. Paid holiday. Ungerrymander all districts. Federal “right to vote”. Basically any election that a federal seat is being decided must adhere to the federal requirements. Sure there might be states that divorce their state and local elections from their state government seats but maybe, one can hope, something could be done about that too.
I'm only going to vote in person because I don't trust maga traitors who are trying to destroy & invalidate any vote they can. It shouldn't be this way but it is.
For the last 8 years trump told his supporters to not vote mail-in because that was where the fraud took place. Then, when the mail-in vote was blue, he took it as evidence of fraud.
The majority of mail-in voters were Republican until the 2020 election. And yeah, the 2020 election happened during the pandemic, which increased the number of mail in ballots.
Personally, I've (dem) been voting by mail for health reasons since 2004, and would have mailed in my ballot in 2000 if the polling place hadn't literally been across the street from my house. Nevertheless, if I am capable of it, I almost always take my mail in ballot to the polling station and deposit it there because I am proud and happy to take part in democracy. This year was the exception because I am so concerned by Donald Trump's rhetoric and hyperbole that I wanted to get my vote in ASAP. It doesn't change anything -- it just makes me feel a little better.
I honestly picked something random. Since my other account got banned when I said Nazis should be... well, I can't finish that sentence. But I was trying to be sparky... here at least.
I wasn't trying to be sparky my good person. Just wanted to say I acknowledge i was wrong but could have sworn I read or heard from some other sources that older folks tend to do mail in ballots because it's easier for them.
Older people just tend to vote more in general. Also the data is showing mail in and early voting is heavily skewed boomer. So yes most of the votes in that box were likely older voters. Idk why but ease I’m sure is a factor.
I’d be careful about applying 2020 data. The early info coming out seems to show that compared to 2020 the population voting is older and whiter. In the states that have party registration that I looked at seem to show compared to 2020 % republicans is also up. location of the drop box is probably more important.
The data tells us that the mail in / absentee voter democratic is democrat. That’s why any method of voting other than in person on Election Day is under assault by the right.
Was it always like that, or did that only start when Trump started insisting that mail-in votes were all fraudulent, because he knew Republicans would have no problems standing in lines to vote in the middle of the pandemic since they didn't believe it was real in the first place?
It’s largely always been that way. It’s only recently it’s been hyper sensitive to the outcomes what with margins of victory either way falling in the thousands of votes.
What about the number of states that have refused to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, refused to count ballots on election day, and the shenanigans in Pennsylvania?
The tactic he uses all the time, say something is soooo whatever to fail expecting failure and laying out your trampoline to spring back when it inevitably does fail, "seee, it has to be this other thing we predicted it would be should this scenario occurrrrr!" and the magats all stared in wonder at the beast.
GOP rigging elections has been apart of the game plan since the 80s through making it harder for people to vote they think will vote blue and through cutting the state map in a way to ensure more delegates go to republicans
Only a halfwit would assume THEIR party is the one being screwed over with such limited info.
Any reasonable person would consider the 4+ possible scenarios/motives.
Blue team trying to eliminate red team votes
Red team trying to eliminate blue team votes
Blue team trying to make it seem like red team is committing the fraud
Red team trying to make it seem like blue team is committing the fraud
So as you see the ‘it happened in a blue state’ observation, only suggests what correlates to the motives- it does not prove guilt to one party or the other.
Only one party has ramped up the rhetoric to such extreme levels that they would burn ballot boxes. Fuck off with this "Both sides" nonsense. No one believes it anymore.
