Trump And His Administration Continue Actions That Could Compromise Election – Day That Was | MSNBC

On Tuesday, President Trump urged supporters to vote twice in the upcoming election – once by mail and once in person – in a bid to sow further confusion about election results. It is, of course, illegal to vote more than once. This came after reports that the Department of Homeland Security had suppressed an intelligence report about Russia’s efforts to raise doubts about Joe Biden’s health. Former Nixon counsel John Dean says he wonders how far Trump will go: “We wouldn’t actually know about Nixon’s authoritarianism had we not gotten the tapes. On the other hand, Trump is in the Rose Garden playing on his authoritarianism. How far will he take it?” Aired on 09/02/2020.

Trump And His Administration Continue Actions That Could Compromise Election – Day That Was | MSNBC

  1. What most people call voter fraud tRump just calls re-election strategy. Just like collusion with foreign powers is his super pac.

  2. Once Trump is out Putin will release the pee pee tape. Putin has played him for three years and Trump is too stupid and too corrupt to face him.

  3. What had Obama already said at the Democrats’ Convention?
    Ah, yes: “Trump and his entourage will stop at nothing to win, even if they have to destroy American democracy”
    Well ladies and gentlemen, there you are!

    1. @Stephen Werner
      Who’s going to lock them up? Do you think Bill Barr will? Putin currently has a lot of republicans Congressional and Cabinet Member on his payroll. It’s hard to tell which ones are own by Putin and which ones have been conned by Trump.

    1. Trump will you have a mini stroke in your debates with Joe Biden? What kind of medicines do you take for mini strokes mr Trump? Would you take a test like Man Women Person camara tv?

  4. All I know is I will be voting in person. I will gladly risk this virus voting this President out. #46 is Biden 2020

    1. @eveFlower101 Same. I’ll wear a hazmat suit if I have to. Biden/Harris 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

    2. THE BEST, SAFEST, AND TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS…REQUEST A PAPER BALLET…DROP AT COURTHOUSE..IN BALLET VOTE BOX….GOES STRAIGHT TO PEOPLE COUNTING VOTES…VOTE EARLY…SO ALL COUNT WILL BE IN ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020….

  5. He didn’t mention that when they get caught they can get 5 years in prison.
    Oh he loves his voters so much he’s making sure if the virus doesn’t get them the prisons will.

    1. @deb polocz You can’t walk that back. Once you’ve said you’ve said it. That is something unforgivable for a president especially but any public official to say. That attacks our very democracy which is his duty to protect. He took an oath to that effect.

    1. @Ian Burt
      It makes me very suspicious just the fact that Big Tech, Media, Fortune 500 companies & Deep State are so strongly for Biden & so desperate to get rid of Trump, and most of them also tried toget rid of Bernie & Tulsi too.
      How do you feel about that?
      Have you seen how easy Journalists go on Biden?

      More on that:

      I also suspect it is “Trojan Horse Joe” too – for the DNC & Kamala.

    2. @Ian Burt
      Does the media you watch tell you that Trump is the first President since Regan to not send US troops in a new war; & has been trying to get past troops out of old wars but has been stopped by the Dems?
      Do you really believe they give credit when credit is due?

    3. @Platypus Paws What new war did Obama or Clinton send troops into? Also The Dems as you put it can’t control troop deployment. That rides solely with the president. Your statement is factually inaccurate.

    4. @Ian Burt
      Obama – Syria & Lybian invasions.
      Clinton – i think that was Yugoslavia/Kosovo. But the latter didnt turn out too bad, as far as i know. Didn’t Bill Clinton send troops there?
      According to documents handed to wikileaks, apparently Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the main person who wanted to invade Lybia & overthrow Gudaffi.

    5. @Ian Burt
      Whrn Trump started, I was afraif the media was right about trump, and he would start new wars.
      Instead he did the opposite.
      And no, doesn’t Trump not have the numbers in the house, so he couldn’t pull troops out of Syria?
      Same as Police reform Bill that Trump put forth, blocked by Dems.
      At least thats what i thought happened…….if that’s not true then go tell me and where you got it from.

  6. How ironic, the man who claims to be a “law & order President” is the biggest crook in the country. Hiding tax returns, money laundering, mafia deals, violating women. He wants to win desperately so Bill Barr can save him. Trump is trying to save himself not to serve the US.

    1. @Reid Parrott

      Either you ignore the truth or just believe lies you want to believe. You must not understand what it would take to commit fraud. 1st, not every state sends ballots to every registered voters. There are 5 states that only do mail in voting and have done so for years, and 5 new states will be allowing mail in voting for all registered voters. However, there are only 9 states that will accept non-absentee voting by mail in 2020, with only 1 of those states being considered a swing state.

      36 states still require you to apply for an absentee application. The other 5 states have a system that has been done for years.

      However, there are 23 states that made no changes at all. Again, only 5 states are sending vote cards to registered voters.

      This is a fake fight. Let’s entertain the possibility of Fraud for a sec.

      Those 5 states that mail in to registered voters… Who would risk the penalty of fraud for an extra vote that won’t matter much. Ballots sent to people who have died or moved, the signatures must match after verification. It doesn’t pass verification if a vote was counted by someone deceased.

      Mail ballots can’t be manufactured by another country without some serious rigging behind the scenes, and it can’t be done enough times to sway an election undetected.

      I’ve been a republican most of my life. I’m not exactly sure I want Biden to win, but I am super sure Trump isn’t fit. We are only divided on this because of Trump, and what he and his enablers have been saying is completely un-American.

      Look at the Republican Primary in 2016. He claimed fraud every time a state went to someone else.

      Here’s some proof on who is allowed to vote by absentee and non-absentee.

      https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/11/us/politics/vote-by-mail-us-states.html

    2. To take it a step further, you have to understand how HARD it would be to pull off massive fraud.

      Take a country like China. If they really wanted Biden to win and was willing to re-create ballots, they would need to mass produce 10’s of thousands of ballots in each state. They would need actual names, voter info, people who are still alive and didn’t already vote. Then you have to match signatures…

      It gets better… You have only 9 states to work with, with 5 of those states having a system that’s already been perfected.

      Ok. If they were willing to pull this off, that could help tip the scale for states that for the most part have already been decided. If caught, the consequences would hurt them severely regardless of who wins.

      Its less cost efficient to rig an election electronically. Im not saying its easier, but with mail, there is a longer paper trail for an organization to manipulate.

    3. @Reid Parrott That’s not how Mail-in-ballots work, but rather what Trump wants you to believe. Mail in ballots have been used since the Civil War without wide spread voter fraud. Mail-in-ballots and Absentee ballots work exactly the same, with the only difference being Absentee ballots being send by an Absentee.

  7. At this point, no matter what billy butt does, he will go down as the weakest and most corrupt Attorney General in history. 🇺🇸Vote for US. Vote Biden/Harris 2020.

    1. Right…cause they have started dumping missing mail, in parking lots an alleys, in LA,ppl has called ab several bags of mail, toss in alleys, the postal service, said ” the agency, doesn’t comment on ongoing investigations…ASK PM DEJOY, AB THIS!!!

  8. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” –George Orwell, “1984”

    1. The irony being that Trump probably has no idea who George Orwell was or has ever read the book. He came up with the idea all on his own.

  9. Bill Barr probably the most corrupt Attorney General in the history of this country. I guess that’s talent in a perverse sense.

    1. @0penminded; What a childish A’ole, yea at this critical time lets go back in history fifty years. What a gd fool.

    1. Suno Boon do you have proof to back your statement up. As there appears to be mountains of proof against trump and his team of criminal cohorts.

    2. @LINDA PRICE SB-145 states that up to a certain age, the courts can say you do not need to be registered as an offender if it was consensual. That doesn’t legalize pedophilia. For example. My wife and I are 3 years apart. Her parents didn’t like me and waited till I turned 18 to try to hit me with something similar to this. 27 years and 3 grandkids later, they regretted even thinking about doing it.

  10. I’ll never understand what kind of system in any contest lets their contenders completely cheat the process, and still remain in the race. Absolutely embarrassing to the rest of the world.

    1. 1800 missing children found under his presidency in a short amount of time. California just passed pedo bill SB145. You people are sick and represented by sick people!

    1. @Ron Swanson A conspiracy theory for which we have ample anecdotal evidence, and the results of which we are seeing play out in real time, every day.
      If not a series of mini strokes, he certainly has SOMETHING bad going on with his brain, as he is losing ground precipitously, which is obvious to anyone who’s had direct experience with dementia patients, as I have.
      And, regardless, it is certainly true that he has never been president in any real sense, or at least has never even tried to do the actual job.
      He just doesn’t have it in him.

    2. @Cori MacNaughton – The only anecdotal evidence you have is other conspiracy theories, fake news, and false narratives, you idiotic dolt. LOL!!!! If you actually looked past the Leftist propaganda that you bath in on a daily basis you would see what I see. A bunch of feckless, entitled, and self-proclaimed educated fools like yourself. Past the constant and never-ending and very profitable Leftist propaganda, you would see that the country is doing amazingly well. My family and I and all those who believe the way I do are thriving. Oh, I can hear your racist bigoted response now. White Supremacy! LOL!! Of, course, you think that whites are superior. Why do you keep saying that? I don’t believe that whites are superior to any other race, but you do. You keep saying it and giving me evidence that you do! You are the white supremacist! LOL!!!

      Be honest. Be a better person! Please!!
