.
President Donald Trump Tuesday evening attacked voting by maila solution many rights advocates argue is particularly necessary amid the ongoing public health crisisas a terrible thing even after admitting that he cast a mail-in ballot in the 2020 Republican presidential primary in Florida (presumably for himself) just last month.
Mail-in voting is horrible. Its corrupt, Trump said during a Coronavirus Task Force press briefing. Sure I can vote by mail because Im allowed to.
Well thats called out-of-state, Trump continued, attempting to justify what observers denounced as a glaringly hypocritical position. You know why I voted? Because I happened to be in the White House and I wont be able to go to Florida and vote.
The president proceeded to suggest, without evidence, that mail-in voting is riddled with fraud and abuse. You get thousands and thousands of people sitting in someones living room signing ballots all over the place, Trump said. No, I think that mail-in voting is a terrible thing.
Trump added vaguely that even the concept of early voting is not the greatest, because a lot of things happen.

(5,643 posts)He gets out there early and continues to slam his message home and all the useful idiots in the repug party fall right in line and repeat the same message. Fox News will pick up this narrative soon enough. The one thing the repugs are good at is shouting from every rooftop their lies and deception. They always seem to find a camera to present their case.
How do we fight against a complicit media machine? The MSM give him so much airtime that his message gets out there and it sticks. Sure we have sources that call him out and expose his lies, but they have been less helpful during the last 3 years as he seems to get away with more and more lies and distortion. No one ever REALLY fights back against his lies. Can we fight back against the lies? Is he really Teflon Don?
Perhaps, it is just me, but I see this and I get depressed and disgusted with the state of things.
