I have to think they know zero about procedures at voting stations. Mainly how it is that if you vote with a mail in ballot, that's recorded. It you got a mail in ballot but decide you want to vote in person, you're recorded as having received that ballot, and you must bring it with you so it can be ripped up and thrown away in a special locked bin. In California it's pink, to distinguishit from other locked bins. Voters are recorded and must prove true to two separate registries. It's not too complicated there, and it's worked for a long, long time. Of course Donald Trump can't see why anybody would uphold these rules just because they pledged that they would, or because they want the election to proceed according to protocol. He can't see it, but there's a lot he doesn't see, of course. And I believe that as a poll worker he'd be so bad, not understanding the rules, and yelling about things (until challenged to his face-- something he can't seem to cope with.)

Ta, Dok. TFG and nolE deserve each other. The people, however, deserve much better. We have it, in Biden/Harris.

"ideas about border security" ... does no one else think it is weird that a literal immigrant and a dude with a history of serially importing immigrant wives (and their families) have big concerns about 'border security'? don't both regularly employ dozens of immigrants? or does none of their "concern" matter there as any plans will be designed with their continued benefit in mind?

Well Stephen Miller is clearly an immigrant from the 8th plane of hell…

"Somewhere, Moon Unit, Diva Muffin, Dweezil, and Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa just silently thanked their parents for giving them more dignified names."

Hm. I'd have gone with a Palin joke here, Dok. But you often do more old-school stuff than I do. You're exactly my same age, so I think you just dig being unpredictable.

For the record, Trump may have finally found his Unicorn: a famous billionaire who's even dumber than he is. At least Trump KNOWS he's lying, most of the time.

does he know he's lying? I think that would require having any relationship with the truth...

Yeah, he knows. It doesn't mean much to him because truth doesn't mean much to him. But he knows he's making shit up.

That reminds me of something completely novel, said by Mary Trump. Asked about the absence of family members from Trump's trial. She said, "It wouldn't mean anything to him, and it wouldn't mean anything to them.

Hey, Hitler and Stalin had a great tag-team for a little while too, until Schickelgruber hit Josef with a steel chair.

Everyone outside of Nelson Peltz's actual family probably knows him as "another actual billionaire, Nelson Peltz."

I wonder how the tune will change when their "data driven" election fraud algorithm uncovers that it's basically only Republicans who are stupid enough to engage in deliberate voter fraud.

Dang it, Dennis Quaid. Just DANG IT.

If PAB is convicted, I hope CNN tracks Quaid down and asks him if he's still voting for PAB. I've liked Quaid so much for so long to give up hope on him. And yeah, I know his brother is batshit crazy.

How much money would Elon contribute if Trump promised to make him Secretary of Transportation? Musk would be silently expecting OF COURSE Trump would give him the VP slot, but Don Jr has that sewn up. Will he settle for second best???

If Musk were VP candidate, and Trump won the election, would Musk even be eligible? He wasn't born in the United States, and couldn't become president.

Trump plans on being President himself personally forever, so not an issue.

I wonder where that glass-topped coffin would be located. Maybe the best would be to send it round and round the country, so people could be reminded of the many outrages he laid on this country which would be incised on the big pedestal-- provided by unionized stone masons. That's just how I personally would like to see it done, once he's taxidermied. No offense to Trump, of course.

Are they really discussing voter fraud and border security or exchanging sophomoric lies about their sexual conquests?

Hope the border security issue isn't as lame as the "voter fraud" issue.

If someone described Elno to Christopher Lee and Christopher Walken when pitching Bond roles, they woulda gone, 'Hell naw--nobody's gonna buy THAT.'
