Trump says "they found ballots with his his name in a river and in a waste basket"!

[imanamerican63]

He is reaching!

[Moostache]

1. Pictures and dates ... or it did not happen.

Period.

He is a liar, period. Nothing he says is true or deserves the benefit of the doubt.

[TheBlackAdder]

43. So, without someone opening them, how'd they know they were taking Biden or Trump ballots?

.

Perhaps these are those scam ballots Georgia was mailing all over the place.

.

[Boogiemack]

60. What about using DNA testing on the ballots.... :} nt

[Blue Owl]

2. Sure, Donny... Suuuuure...

[Siwsan]

3. People with dementia say all kinds of crazy stuff.

And it's only going to get worse. Much, much worse. Maybe some people who aren't already concerned will start to become concerned.

[JohnnyLib2]

19. Agreed, based on sad family experience.

I wouldn't wish dementia on anyone, but if we are on the right track---let his nonsense talk get unmistakable!

[Siwsan]

30. Same here. It runs strong on the maternal side of the family

My mother, one of her sisters and 2 of her brothers.

I think they should pull the medical licenses of the physicians who are giving him a pass.

[Statistical]

4. He is also an idiot.

It discourages people from voting for him by mail. But some of the people who decide today they will vote in person on election day may change their mind. Maybe the number of cases goes up, maybe someone they know gets sick. At the last minute they decide to not vote at all where they might have voted by mail.

Not not diehard trumpers of course but Trump needs votes beyond the diehard Trumpers.

He is basically telling people don't bother voting for me it won't count. That is a bold play lets see if it works for him.

[Moostache]

45. LOL...every day is better with a little Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks referencing!

[pandr32]

5. He needs to be called on this

...and everything that comes out of his mouth ahead of the election.

[Mike 03]

6. The Department of Justice is trying to help him steal Pennsylvania:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdpa/pr/statement-us-attorney-freed-inquiry-reports-potential-issues-mail-ballots

Was just issued today. According to experts, statements such as these are not to be issued before an investigation is complete.

EDIT: I have no earthly clue where the "ballots in the river" stuff came from. The other allegation is in the new statement from the DOJ. I'm really having trouble believing this. It's just too convenient.

[rzemanfl]

24. Military ballots were how Dubyah won Florida in 2000.

Lots of hinky shit, an administrative rule that supposedly changed a statute (When a Judge in Tallahassee asked how that could happen the Repuke lawyers ran like scared rabbits). The Repukes cheated their way through. Dems were afraid to challenge military ballots. James Baker and Roger Stone. Same shit different day.

[Moostache]

61. Correction? Did he actually "win" Florida?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election_recount_in_Florida

Potential statewide vote count in absence of all decisions:

GORE:
2,919,276
48.85%

BUSH:
2,918,292
48.84%

984 margin - if all election decisions related to legitimate ballots had been eliminated - FOR GORE...
Impact of all decisions on candidates' potential statewide totals:
GORE:
-7023

BUSH:
-5502

THAT is how we went from a legitimate country to a banana republic - via election theft and installation of an illegitimate President once, then a bastardization of the congress and use of minority power in redistricting and census of 2010, then Citizens United, then Garland, then 2016, now Trump/McConnell/GOP hypocrisy and total trashing of the SCOTUS as a legitimate branch of government.

[rzemanfl]

62. "Cheated their way through" is a qualifier of "won." I should have said "stole."

That's what happened.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

38. The link appears broken

Nothing is showing up there now

[Sogo]

7. Curious to know where mail-in ballots have even yet been distributed.

[Claire Oh Nette]

63. North Carolina since early September

Dropped ours at the Board of Elections, and can track it.

[Laelth]

8. No. Really?

That’s just paranoid delusion. Did he actually say that? If so, is there any evidence that supports this ridiculous claim?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement Of U.S. Attorney Freed On Inquiry Into Reports Of Potential Issues With Mail-In Ballots
HARRISBURG - On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.

Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Our inquiry remains ongoing and we expect later today to share our up to date findings with officials in Luzerne County. It is the vital duty of government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted.

[Laelth]

16. Well. That's something.

Thank you for the post.

-Laelth

[stillcool]

21. stinks...9 military ballots... all voting for Trump

and in PA.

[Bettie]

55. Or nine spoiled ballots that were thrown away

and now they are trying to make something out of nothing.

[stillcool]

57. ohhhhh....

how do you like that...and the feds put this out? Holy schmoly. Let the good times roll. Thanks

[Bettie]

59. This is speculation, but they did take the

piece off their website, so there was something going on there.

The only way ballots generally end up in the trash is if they are spoiled and a new one issued.

[madaboutharry]

9. He made this up.

They were in a garbage can....they were in a river.....they were in a waste basket.....look, a squirrel....

[Hoyt]

10. That ought to tell trump something, people are sick of his crud.

[stillcool]

11. something fishy in PA

[FakeNoose]

53. This isn't fishy - if absentee ballots arrive too late they can't be counted

Not just military ballots but any absentee / mailed ballot has a deadline by which it must be mailed and received. Anything that arrives past the stated deadline cannot be counted because the numbers have already been tallied and reported.

We should all make every effort to mail our ballots as early as possible - even two or three weeks early if possible. We need to follow all of the instructions, including using the privacy envelope that must be signed by the registered voter. (If signatures don't match, the mailed ballot could be discarded.)

If the government participates in a scheme to DELAY the ballots - well that's another matter. I will be sure to get a USPS receipt and tracking number when I mail my ballot this time.

[stillcool]

58. wow...these were primary ballots?

Pennsylvania hasn't started voting yet? Jeeze..and the Feds did this.

[FakeNoose]

64. The mailed ballots for PA are just going out today and for the next few days

Nobody has receive their November ballots yet, so this story is about the previous voting last Spring - the primary election. I think we're done here.

[Pachamama]

12. So - is he now claiming Democrats are trashing vote ballots for him?

He is insane

[soothsayer]

13. Sounds like a "sir" story mixed ballots and Moses.

[LakeArenal]

15. This is media's fault.

They have ALWAYS let him get away without naming sources.

On every effin topic.

It so aggravating.

[GoCubsGo]

17. What do you expect from a compulsive liar?

The truth?

[LuvJoesPartner]

18. That was Rump having a nightmare last night.

Multiply that by millions😆

[dubyadiprecession]

20. Should we play the lying game too?

How about:
Several women who trump has shown his penis to on Jeffrey Epstein pedifile Island claim trump’s penis is extremely small, but covered in anal warts.
Prostitutes in Moscow and Minsk confirmed it.

[Paper Roses]

22. I don't often use cuss words but there are times: This one deserves a 'BS'. n/t

[Walleye]

23. Maybe they were rejected because they weren't in the privacy envelope

Or they forgot to sign them.

[pwb]

25. When Trump is wrong about something he says he tries to make it right.

If he lied he will lie more that is his fix. It makes him sound like a child.

[lame54]

26. Trump's vote sleeps with the fishes

[Mossfern]

27. Strange they were only for Trump

that means someone must have opened them first.
I'd say it was a false flag operation.

[procon]

28. No doubt AG Bill Barr is on the case.

Trump isn't even capable of telling plausible lies. He's so stupid he doesn't know our voting system works. He thinks ballots with his name on them are segregated from the one's for Biden. Or there are piles of ballots stacked up somewhere, free for the taking for anyone who has the time to drive out to the nearest river, then haul just the special Trump ballots out to a spot where there could be easily found and toss them in the water.

5 YO kids can tell better whoppers than this mess of fantasy words.

[soothsayer]

29. REPORTER: There were no names on them TRUMP: Well, they still found them in a river.

Link to tweet

?s=21

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar
TRUMP: The ballots -- that's a whole big scam. They found 8 ballots in a waste basket, others in a river. They throw 'em out if they have the name Trump on them.

REPORTER: There were no names on them

TRUMP: Well, they still found them in a river.

[frazzled]

32. Wouldn't all the ballots have his name on them, as well as Biden's?

I mean, those are the two major candidates on every ballot.

There aren't Trump ballots and Biden ballots.

[soothsayer]

36. Right! He's such a lying liar

[nolabear]

49. And he got Hillary in there for extra points!

[MuseRider]

31. Good lord, we need someone

who does not act like a toddler.

Meeting with Nancy Pelosi............."She BIT me, she did I swear she bit me. People say this is typical of the radical left, I can tell you, it was a bite like you have never seen."

[delisen]

33. Those not ballots. Those invoices workers sent to Trump.He had a dumping company dispose of them.n/t

[Raster]

34. Where is the proof, tRump*? Otherwise it's just another one of your lies.

[safeinOhio]

35. It was an act of

God.

[StarryNite]

37. I wish they would find him in a river in a waste basket.

[crazylikafox]

39. They were right next to Obama's birth certificate

[Tom Rinaldo]

40. If so the plausible explanation is that Trump's team arranged for them to be there

and subsequently found. What he is alleging is not voter fraud, it is the federal crime of tampering with the mail.

[imanamerican63]

42. Exactly!

How did they know where to find them?

[Sunsky]

51. Yup nt

[Fullduplexxx]

41. He lies about everything

[BlueLucy]

44. It's a set up to help prove his rhetoric. nt

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

46. The found absentee ballots and other mail in a ditch in Wisconsin

[link:https://www.wbay.com/2020/09/24/absentee-ballots-mail-found-along-outagamie-county-ditch/|]

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is investigating after absentee ballots and other mail was found along a ditch in Outagamie County.

No word on if the ballots were filled out though. With other mail being found with them I'd lean more towards some got dropped out of a bag accidently or something.

[cwydro]

47. Who is "they?"

[rockfordfile]

48. I remember in 2012 republicans caught doing something with votes in Virginia

[PRETZEL]

50. Has Luzerne County

actually sent their ballots out yet?

I got an email on Monday that I won't be getting mine for another week or so. I live in Montgomery County.

Maybe spoiled primary ballots?

[octoberlib]

52. This made me laugh.

[Initech]

54. Shut the fuck up Donny!!!

[world wide wally]

56. And that was 100% of your votes.

All 8 of them, asshole
