And it all started with "ha ha brain damaged people vote for trump/hey you know i can see the logic in that!"

Catt jokes...maybe...but the problem is too many people genuinely think that's reality. South Park did an episode about the smugness of the liberal elite and how they generally do think they're superior to others. On the other side, the ultra conservatives think people on the left are all pedos and devoid of morality.

Obama was just on stage the other day openly wondering how we've become so divided and bitter. Meanwhile, in the past few days multiple D politicians, including Hillary and Kamala, and the MSM have openly compared Trump to Hitler and said things like, "He's more dangerous than ever". This is during a year in which he's faced two attempted assassinations.

Yeah Barrack, it's a mystery.

Let's add an important tidbit to offset the claim in that Tweet, but yes, death penalty.

I will grant clemency from the death penalty, if the dude really is mentally ill and on the streets.

We've got nowhere to put him. We're doing him a favor.

D ballot box stuffing scheme discovered in several PA counties.

Not only not required, but CA passed a law making it illegal to require ID to vote.

If we're at the point where y'all can impose the death penalty, but I can also override you and grant clemency, then we can also reopen Australia as a penal colony and start shipping criminals and mentally ill peeps there.

Not that I'm against requiring an ID to vote. . . . But I would say the list on the left are privileges, while voting is a right. So comparing those lists doesn't seem valid.

Death penalty. Or, just ship him to Canada and let their health care system take over :)

Since it's higher priority, let's make extra sure the rights are being applied to the correct person.

By having them flash that ID they already have for all the privileges.

GOP loves to commit election fraud, even in fake elections
Larry Lee Savage Jr., a former Republican 5th Congressional District candidate, turned himself in to authorities Tuesday morning after he was charged with stealing ballots during a public test of voting machines in Madison County.

Before voting machines can be used in Indiana elections, they're tested in front of political parties' representatives, candidates, media and the general public. Savage was elected as a precinct committeeman, a local political party leader, during the May Republican primary and was participating in a public voting machine test in Madison County on Oct. 3.

In the tests, election officials manually calculate results from pre-marked ballots. People attending the test are then invited to run those ballots through the voting machines to make sure the computerized systems counted accurately.

Madison County tested four voting machines with 136 ballots on Oct. 3. Two of the ballots went missing over the course of the test. Surveillance footage showed Savage folding them and putting them into his pocket, according to a probable cause affidavit.

That doesn't even make sense.

I'm invoking my 38% theory.

"US election updates: Harris calls Trump a ‘threat to democracy’ in Ellipse speech; Biden clarifies ‘garbage’ comment"
"Fear! Treason! You should be afraid! Only I can save you!"

That's what I love in a leader.

I'm so glad I didn't vote for either of those assclowns.

Comedian at trump rally: "Puerto Rico is garbage."

President of the United States Biden: "Half of Americans are garbage."

I am going to sleep the sleep of the righteous, when this election is over. Half of you will be angry your guy lost, half will be embarrassed their guy won, and to me it will be another Wednesday knowing it's all a waste of time and none of it matters to regular people.

Yeah, abortion rights didn't impact anyone. Or trump's national debt disaster. Or healthcare.
