WaPo: ‘Republicans’ Long-Term Vote Heist’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
We can all expect voter fraud, voter suppression & gerrymandering on tRumps part that is!
YES YOU CAN. We suckered the Dems into sending out mail in ballots. Everyone knows Republicans will be sending in multiple ballots and voting in person. We are committed to waiting in line for hours to cast our vote for Trump. Rain or heat we will not waiver from our goal. Go a head, have fun waiting in line for a race that has already been decided.
@Kevin McNeil litterly a Republican thing. Nearly all fraud is done by Republicans. All gerrymandering is done by Republicans.

The Department of Justice Calls Donald Trump a Felon
@nunya business We don’t care. We got this in the bag. Go a head and waste your time standing in line with all of us COVID positive people, in the heat and rain. Or you could mail in a ballot for what god that’ll do, LOL. Here, I’ll fill it out for you. Everyone knows that Trump will win because of all the cheating so what’s the point of you wasting your time?
#DRUMPF2020
Trump cheated on his wives, at golf, with his ‘’charity’’ fund, his fake University, his SAT, etc etc
He WILL try to cheat in the 2020 election!
Yep!!
@Gonzales Frederic He knows how to pick ’em – don’t he?
@Gonzales Frederic Im sure your a prize
HE WILL CHEAT!

Donald Trump quotes on covid:
February 10th – “By April, when it gets a bit warmer, it will miraculously go away”
February 25th – “We’re very close to a vaccine”
February 26th – “We have 15 cases and within a couple of days that’s going to be down close to zero so that’s a pretty good job we’ve done”
February 26th – “The infection seems to have gone down over the last 2 days. We’re going to be at 5 people pretty soon. And we could be at just 1 or 2 people over the next short period of time”
February 28th – “This is the democrats new hoax”
March 6th – “It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month”
March 11th – “We’re more prepared to fight the virus than any other country. The virus doesn’t stand a chance against us”
March 13th – “I don’t take responsibility at all”
March 16th – “I rate my handling of the outbreak as a 10 out of 10”
March 24th – “We never shut the country down for flu”
April 10th – “I looks as though we’ll only have 60,000 deaths, which is substantially lower than what any of the scientists thought”
April 16th – “We are past the peak”
April 23rd – “We have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world”
April 23rd – “Suppose we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Supposing you brought light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some way”
April 24th – “Disinfectant knocks it out in 1 minute. Can we use that? By injecting it inside the body?”
April 25th – “There might not be a 2nd wave once we reopen. It might not come back at all”
May 3rd – “We’re going to lose anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people”
May 5th – “With or without a vaccine, it’s going to pass”
May 13th – “If we did less testing, we would have less cases. So in a way, by doing all of this testing it makes me look bad”
May 21st – “When we have a lot of cases, I don’t look at that as a bad thing. I look at it as a good thing because it means our testing is much better. So I view it as a badge of honour. Really, it’s a badge of honour”
June 15th – “If you don’t test you don’t have any cases. If we stopped testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any”
June 17th – “The virus is dying out”

July 4th – “We’re well on our way to a tremendous victory over this virus”
July 10th – “Texas and Florida are going to have it under control very quickly”
July 13th – “Testing is a double edged sword. When you test you create cases, so we’ve created cases”
July 13th – “We have the lowest covid mortality in the world”
July 17th – “We are the envy of the world for how we’ve dealt with this”
July 27th – “The governors should be opening up states”
Vote this liar out!
The above should be required reading for prospective voters.
Nice timeline.
The most effective anti-Trump ad is his own words.
@Djo Life Absolutely you can! Share the quotes everywhere
#TRUMP2020
Yes, but actually no. Trump is not a doctor. He conveys what Fauci tells him.
Trump has had three and a half years to figure out how to cheat to win the 2020 election – and, he has the entire GOP helping him, and they’re veterans at it!
thats why we have veterans in the streets, fighting for america.
jerry i Good 😊
also Russia is helping. Russia and GOP, if there’s any difference any longer.
So obama’s and his cabal’s coup attempt of a newly elected President wasn’t cheating?
@Rand Kocher WTF are you talking about?
The GOP (greed over people) mantra: It ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught.
#TRUMP2020
@Genna Tuelz That’s all you got? Fake American nationalist who bows to a psychopath conman who only sees you as an easy mark.
@Dizzy Duke ROFLMAO, as if they have time to read YT comments. Fvkc off.
@Lucius Kiirus
Did the FBI show up, yet?
@Dizzy Duke Why yes they did and they offered me a job. Turns out they know talent when they see it.
The word “Honorable” should never ever be used when referring to Bill Barr, Moscow Mitch & DJtRump.
Or any republican in congress. There’s not one of them standing up for Americans right to have peaceful assembly and the reason is they’re wanting to stop people voting. In any South American country that did what trump and the republicans are doing, Americans would be calling it an attempted coup, especially the republicans! They’d be banging on day and night on any news media that would interview them on how undemocratic it is. But because its happening in America its ” its to stop voter fraud “!!!!
@stephen wedderburn They have no choice , because when Trump loses he’s going to sing like the Morman Tabernacle Choir about who he told about everything Russia did for him .
The REPUBLICANS have committed treason to stay in power and can’t let that happen
@stephen wedderburn Trump doesn’t care about anyone. They voted for something much worse than they know. Look at this indictment that was filed in the courts: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.646485.1.0.pdf
#DRUMPF2020
If you think America is great again, what with over 50 million unemployed, 4 million infected and over 150,000 dead, you vote to keep it that way. If not, vote for change.
TCL Tcl Toy sound like a trumpian. Be an adult. You can make your point without insulting people. His influence has been horrible, even those who hate him have been influenced. I’m sick of it.
#TRUMP2020
frank sturmfuhrer The virus wouldn’t have caused anywhere near the damage it has in the US if at least a half competent president and administration were in charge….why are you so blind?
Bill Cline Are you seriously so stupid you don’t know the downvote doesn’t work unless you’re cancelling out your upvote? Wow.
frank sturmfuhrer is a trump zombie. TRUMP ZOMBIES NEED BRAINS!!!! Trump NEEDS BRAIN!!!!! Poor little snowflake frankie has no brain. Keep your head up (Donnies Bum) frankie.
Early voting (where possible) will also be key this year. Escape the crowds yet still vote at the polls.
If mail-in voting, don’t wait until the last minute. Trump’s guy is now heading the Post Office and he’s slowing down mail service.
Better yet, drop the filled ballot off in person.
Anyone with an R next to their name cannot not be trusted.
SIMPLE: The entire country should register as Republicans and then don’t vote for Trump!!!
@spaxxed You’ll be surprised….again.
@Laranto Shantiya No suicide here…if anybody dies……
@D. Price I along with many were stupid the first time we voted for him then. After four years of witnessing the corruption in the Do Nothing Party there’s even millions more of us dummies that will be re-electing him.
😂😆
David Tucker David I just checked the list of state registrations. The deadline is in October. Send me your state and I’ll tell you where to register and the deadline. We need to vote wacko out!
America has to come out in bigger numbers than ever before! If you can vote, VOTE! There can’t be any reason for Trump to question this election!
Your right! The big blue tsunami is coming nov.3rd😂🤣😂🤣
Wear blue too… Let them see blue dots everywhere.😉
#TRUMP2020
Trump is already started, The republicans too.
Were in trouble now. He said it already.
Trump doesn’t care about anyone. They voted for something much worse than they know. Look at this indictment that was filed in the courts: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.646485.1.0.pdf
trump already threatened to rule for 8, 16, 32 years
@Dubi Hyena relax bro, 4 more years is good
Richard G Good for who Putin.Traitors
National Voting Standards required at the federal level in every State.
EVERYONE VOTES. America is for all Americans. God bless and good luck. Repect from Canada.
make stripping people off the rolls, or parking police cars to block black folks’ ways to the poll Treason, the capital sort. Execute the first person. I bet things shape up pretty quickly. There’s one case where capital punishment would have a deterrent effect.
Thank you. That may be the law but that doesn’t mean that’s how things work. Wish I were there!!
Thank you, my Canadian brother. Wish I was there.
We know who’s giving Trump advice on how to do this, don’t we Putin? 😏
Agreed 100%

The GOP is Anti-American

Republican president a criminal. Republican senators are shills. Republican governors are irresponsible.

@SMS BEAUTIFUL!! Yes I feel sorry for her but this lawsuit is beautiful news!!
Yep chaos. That’s is our name…not surprising though, when you have a chaotic president, what do you expect?
Vladimir Putin must see what the GOP is up to and be laughing his socks off
the only “democracy” where no effort is sparred to prevent people from voting
Trump IS the election fraud. He lost the popular vote and yet he’s ‘president’. Enough said.
Yes, but actually no. The US is a constitutional republic. The popular vote is irrelevant. Only losers hang on to it so they can sleep at night.
#TRUMP2020
Genna Tuelz Smh, yet another truly idiotic statement from a delusional trumpzombie…
Let’s just pray the electoral college has had its fill of tyranny.
