This is probably one of the most disturbing things I have read since Trump's inauguration, as this can be used to justify voter suppression:

In relation to Trump's authoritarian tendencies, I saw this, where the article quoted Garry Kasparov on Twitter:

Quote:
Obvious lies serve a purpose for an administration. They watch who challenges them and who loyally repeats them. The people must watch, too.

https://newrepublic.com/article/140040/ ... eader-eyes

This reminds me of an old Chinese story where a general brings before his men a deer, and tells them it's a horse. All his men who reply, "No, that's actually a deer", he has executed, so that only those loyal to him remain. This is apparently the origin of the Japanese word "baka", which means "stupid", but in construction means literally "horse-deer".

Conman-in-chief Trump can't handle anything that shows him not as #1. Yes I realize some voter fraud happened- but enough to make Clinton win popular vote? I doubt it!

Trump needs to worry about bigger things- like how he is going to actually HELP America. No more crap about attendance numbers and other junk that doesn't help Americans!

He also needs to stop being a coward and release his taxes- like he promised to do.

Trump's presidency cannot last. There's just too much vitriol being spewed from his mouth and the people who surround him. A house divided will not stand, and neither will a country.

trump is a narcissist.

It's intolerable to him to realize that he lost the popular vote, therefore, the votes that made up his opponent's margin in the popular vote were not valid. There is no other alternative.

If she lead by thousands of votes, then he would be declaring that there had been thousands of illegal votes. Since he lost the popular vote by millions of votes, millions of votes must have been illegal and invalid!

And more people were on the mall at his inauguration than at any other past or future!

And he has been on more Time covers than anyone else!

And he has big, big hands.
:eew:

It is frightening that the leader of the States is controlled by his mental illness.

I think people are afraid of what an investigation might find so they mock it when they really have no idea

Somewhere between 38,000 and almost 2.8 million non-citizens voted in the 2008 elections, according to a study published in Electoral Studies journal in 2014.

Old Dominion University professors Jesse Richman and David Earnest, the study’s co-authors, concluded that “some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections.”

its definitely something that needs to be investigated

Some things I find interesting. People making mental illness diagnoses they are completely unqualified to make in their unending slew of leftist sensationalism.

Leftists taking an attitude regarding election results being questioned, after all their whining and conspiracy theories and accusations of espionage and demands of vote recounts and death threats regarding Hillary losing the election.

The absolutely insane and shameful way leftists have conducted themselves, puts them in no position to try ridiculing anyone or anything. They should just hang their heads in shame and go off into the woods like Hilary did.

Headline news and weeks of insisting the Russians helped Trump get a landslide win in the Electoral College is perfectly acceptable to leftist.

Trump saying that some out of the zillions of illegal immigrants in the US probably voted illegally. Oh that's not acceptable at all to them. Now all of a sudden they have an issue with challenging or questioning election results. Amazing.

...Trump and his peple were uestining the 2016 results IN ADVANCE of the election , and the allegations of Russian hacking , you will remember...And, as I have pointed out here already , the claim of Demoocratic fake votes has been a majr part of the official Republican narrative for many since te Tea Party sprung up . Why haven,y sme of the many Republican-controlled states andcounties with Rep DAsand so forth come up with paticularly any convictions and guilty pleas poving masss voting schemes ?
The may well-off Rep donors and non-profits could cerainly finance some investigation on the supposed Dem mass false votes that would leato convictions , presumably !
And yet , for all the finger-pointing about : Democrat Party false votes : , juicy convictions have been conspicuous in heir abscence....Why so ????
With all of those Republican states and counties ???

Agreed. I am tired of the armchair diagnosing that has affected our politics, especially on a forum like ours.
