Trump Tried To Get DOJ To Nullify The Election Because He Thought Italy Used Satellites To Tamper...

.... With Voting Machines

In Donald J. Trump’s final weeks in office, Mark Meadows, his chief of staff, repeatedly pushed the Justice Department to investigate unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, according to newly uncovered emails provided to Congress, portions of which were reviewed by The New York Times.

In five emails sent during the last week of December and early January, Mr. Meadows asked Jeffrey A. Rosen, then the acting attorney general, to examine debunked claims of election fraud in New Mexico and an array of baseless conspiracies that held that Mr. Trump had been the actual victor. That included a fantastical theory that people in Italy had used military technology and satellites to remotely tamper with voting machines in the United States and switch votes for Mr. Trump to votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr.

If that isn't a obvious setup for a coup I don't know what is. Never reached 50% in approval rating but won by a landslide. What a fucking idiot. And even bigger idiots that follow him.

He's way beyond idiot. A man who will destroy and divide his own family will do the same to his country. Ridicule this iunatic fool.

/begin serious

They make amazing shoes and handbags
The Negroni is a wonderful beverage - especially when consumed at the Gritti Palace's Riva Bar
They have an automobile brand "Alpha Romeo"
Need I mention Monica Bellucci?
What about Inspector Montalbano?

/end serious

/begin sarcasm

I guess it must then be easy to believe they have exquisitely designed and stylish military satellites specifically trained on our poorly designed voting infrastructure - it just makes total sense!

/end sarcasm

OR nonsense.

Seems well worth a try. My main experience with Italian beverages is having a Peroni’s with my Italian beef combo when ever I’m in the Chicago area..

Which is why he started to say “if I lose, it’s because the election was rigged”. He said this often enough

HE KNEW.

That's a laugh out loud statement.

What I love about voting in New Mexico is that this state makes it incredibly easy. Lots of advance voting. Go to any polling place in your county, tell them who you are, and the ballot gets printed up on the spot. Mark it, hand it to someone who puts in in a machine that immediately lets you know if you've double voted or left something out, correct that if necessary, and away you go.

It should be a model for all other states. Either that or go to voting only by mail, as is the case with several states already.
