Tom Toles for October 30, 2016

Something to think about: Once upon a time, good ol’ Uncle Joe Stalin, who seemed to know a thing or two about elections, said something to the effect that “It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” The Republicans, who are so very worried about voter fraud, clearly learned something from Uncle Joe. ..

Then there is this story: It’s apocryphal, but it seems that about the same time some Texas (of course) politician one-upped Uncle Joe. He supposedly allowed that he really didn’t care how the people voted. All he wanted to do was choose the candidates. ..

But that American saint, Mark Twain, (supposedly) put it most succinctly: “If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”

If only the public would put as much zeal into Congressional elections as the Presidential election.

“Branches of government? What’s that?”

As long as the Do Nothings remain, “party before the people”, any Prez will get nowhere.

Russia has asked to monitor our election. Seriously!! They really want TRUMP!!

An early influence for some politicians?

He also put out several calls for his well armed deplorables to take out Hillary. The result: FBI finds more of Hillary’s emails just days before this election in an apparent attempt to influence the election. Looks like the same old FBI. The one that ignored calls from flight schools telling them something bad was going on with Saudis learning to fly planes into buildings etc. Are these guys working for Putin or what?

I see the rethuglicans are projecting their own past behavior on to everyone else, again.

Such ignorance on display..It was not Mr. Trump who handed half of our uranium over to Russia, nor is Mr. Trump closely tied to the New Black Panthers, who (thanks to the criminal and racist Eric Holder) have remained shamefully unpunished for their undeniable voter intimidation..NOR is it the Republican party that relies on voter fraud to win elections. It is the Democrats who depend on the dead and nonexistent voter to get elected; why else would that scream so loudly over photo-ID laws?

There was a story about a woman voting for Hillary eight times the other day where I live.The 18th Congressional District is famous for voter fraud in Texas.Their Congress person is Shelia Jackson Lee(D) TX.She came here from NYC to be a fool in public almost daily.

“And there have been numerous cases of votes being switched from Mr. Trump to Hillary!”

.

How do you know this, Mr. Trumpbot? The only confirmed case of fraud this cycle is the woman who tried to vote twice for Trump.

1. Stop watching Faux News and 2.loosen your foil hat a tad (it seems to be constricting blood flow to what little brain you have.) You should start feeling better within a couple days.

First amendment hater Trump claimed the election is rigged because he is the one rigging it.

Rumors of democracy? Stop it!

This ignorant Hillary voter has already cast their vote for Americas first female President. As has my wife, her parents, my brother & his wife & & several other friends & neighbors. Are you going to move to Russia with Trump after he loses this supposedly rigged election ?

Trump violated a court order the republicans were almost finished with regarding right wing poll demonstrations. Due to amature Trump’s ignorance the GOP will be under a new court order until 2020.

You have al the ignorance here believing and repeating all kinds nonsense without little or no truth in it. Junk in junk out for those who listen religiously to the Reich Wing Propaganda Machine. Produces robotic responses like yours. All sans truth.
