Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

Probably inquired how he could consolidate power in the US.

Trump may introduce Bitcoin Voting now that money is speech; why not let everyone have a vote for each coin they own?

That's what we do with Oligarchs and their Corporations now; Herr Musk alone got at least $300 million worth of votes.

" So BillJohnson aligns yet again with Putin."

He's desperate for any port in the storm.

It's now been FIVE YEARS, and a total of ZERO people have come forward confirming BJ's theories regarding mail-in ballots being taken by others in the same household, when the fact of the matter is there'd have to be TENS OF THOUSANDS of these incidents to overturn the results.

"Utah has been voting by mail for over a decade, and it has proven to be a secure and accessible way to vote."

Oregon: same thing, over 30 years.

NO ONE, in either state has ever come forward with BillJohnson's scenario.

After a close election, they'd be coming out of the woodwork. IF it was happening.

But 5 years, and NO ONE makes that claim?!? Only one conclusion: That means it NEVER HAPPENED.

Trump is naked as a mole rat and fake as king snake.

Aren't the "bomb threats" and tabulation centers change of custody proven already good enough?

I anticipate an increase in sales of -------------- pitchforks if Steiner pulls a DeJoy and wrenches the PO to further angry, thirsty, ICE-hating lines.

My GOD, what depths this country has sunk to.

And the cult thinks this is...validation? Strength? "winning"?

I've been voting by mail for years; now with Putin's comments. I know it is good for American democracy. And Trump repeating what he told him means we got to get Trump out of our government. Let him retire to an old folks home where he will be well taken care of.

Did Putin also advise Trump that the best way to guarantee fair and safe elections is to poison your critics with polonium-210?

I thought Trump's meeting with Putin was supposed to be about trying to find a way of ending the war in Ukraine, but now we've learned that they talked about how elections are held in the United States and how the 2020 election was probably stolen from Trump. What a waste of time and resources. And now we have Trump bragging on Truth Social about how at no time in history has so many European leaders will have been in the White House at one time, as if it's something to be proud of. After all, he's the one who's created the emergency which has led to this meeting in the first place, and now he's making it sound like he's accomplished some great diplomatic feat.

Putin also thinks that anybody who doesn't agree with him should "disappear" into a Siberian gulag.

Trump is taking lessons.

Fascists playing nice with each other...Trump needs to stay in office to stay out of jail, and Putin..if the International Criminal Court get their hands on him he will be locked up for a long, long, long, long time.

And Pooty definitely knows a thing or two about rigging elections.

He has figured out how secure nearly 90% of the votes.

Now that's a savy rigger right there.

Pedo 47: "When you go to a voting booth, and you do it the right way, and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in -- they even asked me, they asked me for my license plate. I said, 'I don't know if I have it.' They said, 'Sir, you have to have it.' I was very impressed actually."

Only car owners can vote, according to Trump.

The guy is a fnkcin' buffoon.

#28 | Posted by rstybeach11 at 2025-08-18 04:03 PM

So let me get this straight - a Russian dictator is telling us how to run our elections. Ok.

#29 | Posted by LegallyYourDead at 2025-08-18 10:28 PM

Wow, so the bald midget agrees.

Well he can ---- off too.

Funny how 2020 was "stolen" but the democrats forgot to steal a bunch of senate seats and a lot of house seats.

Funny how that worked.

#31 | Posted by Nixon at 2025-08-19 08:48 AM

Putin should know. He signed legislation authorizing mail-in voting in Russia.

Just to be sure he could fix the elections, he extended it to Internet voting!

Honestly, there is no problem with mail-in voting. None. We've been doing it for decades. This is just another way to grab power - and Putin's assisting Trump in that power grab.
