To poke another thing - if you happen to live in California, be warned.

California Republican Party says it won't take down illegal 'ballot boxes' despite state orders

Really short version? The California GOP is putting up a bunch of very insecure boxes claiming to be ballot boxes managed by unidentified GOP members.

Also of particular note -

California officials have now warned the state Republican Party that what they're doing is illegal and may even result in prison time. The Republican Party has responded in the expected way: They don't care, and won't be complying with state demands to remove the boxes.

Who would use one of these fake boxes?

I guess there are a number of possible explanations for this, including:

  • The least malign one - that the California GOP wants to ensure that it's as easy as possible for people to vote and they are providing these boxes as a public service to enable that to happen. Yes, they're in primarily Republican areas, but they help Democrats too.
  • It's a way to trigger the libz
  • It's an exercise in martyrdom. They want to be charged so that they can scream that Californiastan is denying them their democratic rights
  • That this is some kind of protest to get the 2018 legislation allowing "ballot harvesting" to be overturned
  • That this is a plot to get hold of as many ballots as possible and attempt to dispose of those that may be cast for the Democratic Party :tinfoil
  • That this is a stunt, that the ballots will be discarded somewhere, found and the whole exercise used as a means to promote the idea that the Democrats are engaging in widespread voter fraud :tinfoil

Look for a "bombshell" (cough cough) smear attack on Hunter Biden in the next week or so as Trump's Hail Mary. FoxNews is salivating over a story about Giuliani's laywers having "dirt" on him and pushing it hard to their viewership.

Probably be as big as when Trump had that press conference to reveal the shocking information his investigators had uncovered about Obama’s faker birth certificate.

I bet 100% this will ensure hunter Biden is not elected as president!

this is going to be a *********.

But it's the WH fault for relying so heavily on a private media service.

By making it easier and more convenient for people that are likely to favor you to vote, more will vote. Not necessarily lots, but even a few votes can be a deciding factor in many elections - especially more local elections. As for who? Plenty of people are not especially politically involved or knowledgeable.

That was answering rather different questions than were asked, but... that last one sounds unpleasantly plausible, much as "cheating" or "electoral fraud" would probably cover it better than voter fraud in that case. The GOP is already steadily losing more and more in California, as it is, so doing that as a ploy wouldn't be all that surprising.

On that note, I wouldn't put it past them to also be putting them up as an attempted showy counter to any damage caused elsewhere by the Republican ballot box removal shenanigans with the Post Office and especially in Texas, where their efforts have been directly blocked by a judge.

I think that you're a bit off here. Covfefe was fairly certainly an accident, rather than a joke, and one that quickly had an embarrassing story attached to it (the suggestion that Trump had probably fallen asleep on the toilet) that was being circulated. What happened after that was an effort to save face for Trump, including on Spicer's part. Trump does not like being embarrassed.
Click to expand...

Oh, "covfefe" was definitely an accident. It's just that Spicer's comment was so ridiculous that I wonder if there was some intentional absurdity to it. Sure could be wrong.

The "Please, please like me" bit may well be a half-joke, sure, though. The kind of "joke" that also reveals the true feelings of the speaker. Like - "Russia, if you're listening..."

Yes, definitely reveals true feelings but with a bit of self-mocking thrown in.
 
"Donald Trump continues to trail his presidential challenger Joe Biden by as much as 17 points in the national polls and acknowledged his concern during his latest rally appearance in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday night, telling his loyal crowd: "For me to only be up six [in Iowa], I'm a little bit concerned, I'll tell you that."

In a further sign of his desperation, the president later tweeted an astonishing plea to voters in the solidly-Democratic state of California, asking them “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?” in voting for him."

Biden can’t stand up to China.
They own him.
His son, brother and sister-in-law are, and have been, partners with businesses owned by Communist China and high level members of the CCP.
Records I have seen show over $30 million paid to the #BidenCrimeFamily and a lot more to go.

The Hunter Biden email bombshell prompted massive damage control by the legacy media and a rapid censorship campaign by Twitter and Facebook- which has backfired. (DM) #HunterBiden #BidenCrimeFamily

No a pretend journalist that managed to con some people at NBC into thinking she was a real one.

She's definitely wrong. Have you ever seen in your life Trump do humour? His idea of humour is belittling others.

That's why I hate the "Oh he's just joking" defense for so much of Trump's vileness.

He's never made a joke. He's been smarmy. He's been a troll. He's been insulting. He's been a bully. And all of those seem to make him laugh.

But self facing, genuine humor? No, never.

Trump joking about his hair. He makes quite a lot of self deprecating jokes like this.

That's not a joke, that's Trump's insecurities about the dead squirrel he's using as a hair substitute pushing through.

He doesn't work it as a joke, he's pushing the line hard and he's getting angry at having to even refute the allegations that it's not his hair.

Trump has no humour. QED.
