NYT’s Confessore: Trump ‘Invented A New Fiction’ That Mail-In Ballots Are ‘Tainted’ | Deadline

    1. And then what? Trump was a symptom he wasn’t the disease. Republicans aren’t going to go back to being fair. Their obstruction, cheating and dirty tricks will continue.

      We have watched it happen the last 20 years with nothing done to stop it. Even Obama couldn’t find a way to stop it so what are Democrats going to do differently to handle it now? I know they shouldn’t have to but that is Americas’ reality now.

      Remember, once Trump is gone, those Republicans that vote for Biden now because Trump, will likely go back to voting Republican next time and the world will have to deal with it all over again but it may not be that obvious as Trump has been. But they have shown they can get away with it even if it is.

    2. @Jamie Cox Yes. It will be like cleaning up a toxic waste dump. I really hope we focus on funds for education so our children can read at a college level, do trig, reason and think rationally.

    3. @William Nelson Bs but if you want to believe that until it drifts away because it’s a ploy to get Trump votes, go ahead.

  1. I’m guessing that a year from now, we will be watching the unobstructed investigation into the trump crime family unfold.
    Better late than never.

    1. @Jayson’s House In a year?? Nah, in a year, there will only be plea deals, immunity negotiations, and a metric fuckton of UNOBSTRUCTED INVESTIGATIONS. We’ll get real answers then!

    2. True. There is an ongoing investigation into bank and insurance fraud. Could put Trump in jail if he isn’t reelected.

    3. I’m sure about that!
      PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN:
      My investigation report– on this channel (“Conflict of Interest at its Historical Record”) on how Trump and his family used his presidential powers (violating US Constitution and laws) to benefit their local and foreign businesses!
      (PDF FORMAT of the report is liked in the ‘comments section’ of the video report)
      There are more of my investigation reports on Trump’s corruption and conspiracies on my channel.

  2. take your vote to the address on the ballot envelope and take it to the clerks office or a drop box, not hard.

    1. @Rick Barber “…You are morally bound by My Commandments not to choose a candidate who supports abortion.  To cast a vote for such a one is to vote in favor of murder…  Now is the time to stand aside from the rhetoric of ambition and stand up for righteousness…  Knowing this makes your choice for good over evil most clear…” 8-19-20 holylove.org

    2. @Larry Byrd “…You are morally bound by My Commandments not to choose a candidate who supports abortion.  To cast a vote for such a one is to vote in favor of murder…  Now is the time to stand aside from the rhetoric of ambition and stand up for righteousness…  Knowing this makes your choice for good over evil most clear…” 8-19-20 holylove.org

    3. @M R There’s not a single passage in the Bible regarding Abortion, so kindly get off your religious high horse. The fiend you obviously plan on supporting has locked innocent children up in cages while losing their parents, and is complicit in the deaths of 200,000 of our fellow citizens, just because he found actually doing his JOB to be to inconvenient. Some of us actually care for our fellow human beings AFTER they are born.

  3. Mailed my vote on the tenth. Went on line to confirm that it was received on the 15th. #Myvotecounted #ByeDon2020

  4. My biggest problem is no one in the media holds him accountable for his lies. “Mr. President, who in the intelligence agencies is saying mail in ballots are dangerous etc? and can we see those reports?” and you keep asking and asking and asking …

    1. media are commercial entities!

    1. I call it “Empire of the Criminal in Charge of Trump & Allies Special Administrative Region – TASAR (previously known as U.S.A.)”!

    1. @Paul Wiley If you could read you would find everything about me on my channel!
      Ask an educated guy to read and explain to you; I can’t spare more time for you.

    2. @Investigative Audit pay teachers more for quality public education and get rid of Betsy DeVos who has done more to damage public education than any previous Secretary of Education. A totally incompetent bigot. Instead of buying 3 yachts, why not contribute to public education. The main reason is that they are not segregated. She is supposed to be helping public education, not destroying it because it is integrated racially.

    3. @Nancy M Ross I wish you had your own identity and words to say, rather than following media news and tweets; in that case I would consider you worth listening!

    4. @Investigative Audit l do. Trump has a cult. I am not a member. I am a credentialed teacher, and l know what l am talking about. And l loathe indoctrination of any sort. Too bad you don’t.

  5. But why? Trumps numbers are way out in front. Take a look at this..
    USA: 69 per 1000 people
    Australia: 3 per 1000 people
    New Zealand: 0.5 per 1000 people
    … DEATHS from covid per capita. USA is leading the world. MAGA style WINNING!!!

    Make it stop. VOTE BLUE, UP AND DOWN and tell him, “YOU’RE FIRED”

    1. Criminal in Charge

    1. Just diverting from his financial crimes.

    1. Criminal in Charge; diverting attentions from his financial crimes by creating conspiracies and lies!
      PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN:
      My investigation report– on this channel (“Conflict of Interest at its Historical Record”) on how Trump and his family used his presidential powers (violating US Constitution and laws) to benefit their local and foreign businesses!

    2. I politely disagree. I think the most dangerous liars are the ones who make you believe in their lies, despite the evidence of all your senses. You do realise that there are people out there who still believe Trump when he says “we are rounding this thing with Covid” even as they are burying their parents, right? The most dangerous liars are the ones who will be putting those children in a coffin right next to their parents.

    1. @M R I wish you had your own identity and words to say! In that case I would consider you worth listening.

    2. @M R I’ve said it many times: I don’t rely on any media being CNN of Fox I do my own investigations.

    3. @M R I’m a CA, LLB & CFE with 24 years pro experience in audit, law and forensic investigations, on behalf of central banks and other regulatory bodies, IMF, Big-4 audit firms and financial institutions.
      All my investigation reports on this channel subsequently turned into BREAKING NEWS, as I share them with media!
      If anyone can prove any part of my reports is incorrect (based on facts – not personal views or media news copy paste), or I’m attached or getting any benefit from any third party for these reports, whatsoever, I guarantee to cancel my channel and apologize to people on this chat. Otherwise you owe an apology here, DEAL?

    4. @M R And please try to understand. I’m not a liberal or Democrat. It’s all about the most important decision to make!

  6. Trump is doing a lot of shading things in the open.
    But I think there is A LOT more happening behind closed doors.

  7. Baby trump has already pounded hundreds of nails in his presidential coffin. Every day, he’s adding more and more.

  8. Donald Trump’s father said to Trump when he was a kid if you ever tell the truth you’re done I will disown you
