Trump: Any money we've spent in Iran we've more than made up for with what we've done in Venezuela, taking in hundreds of billions of dollars but they don't mention these things.

I give you Count Binface.

Weeeeeel, I don't think the Count intended anyone to vote for him in error. And he certainly wasn't trying to take Farage votes away to let someone else win. He was offering people a protest vote (which I accept you could do anyway by spoiling your ballot paper).

Tell that to the families of the 23 service members who aren't around any more.

Mmm. Yeah, because nobody ever passed a dud cheque. The old ways were the best. Now, it's all computer.

They also don't mention the massive investments from the Elf Kingdoms or the new multibillion dollar unicorn breeding businesses that have recently sprung up across the US.

Man, I just can't wait for the results to published. Trump's rant gonna be epic. He might do a lot of stupid things later, but first there will be a rant. Maybe we should build a bingo card.

I remember Roy Jenkins standing in Hillhead in Glasgow in the '80s against both another Roy Jenkins and, on account of his mild speech impediment, a Woy Jenkins.

It's gonna be a drinking game for me, and I rarely drink. There will be a lot of folks calling in sick Wednesday morning.

I might take Thursday off because I think more of the counting will be done Wednesday.

Yeah no kidding; it will probably beat the Superbowl in terms of day drinking.

In addition to all that, many of the maga weirdoes on the MSN forums are screaming their tiny-little brains out that Peltola is going down for perjury.

Stupid idiots don't realize (or don't care) that in order for it to be perjury, she has to be under oath.

Have you seen the recent Daily Show (Season 31, episode 122) with Jordan Klepper speaking to MAGA fans? Talk about stupid people! To think these morons vote and sit on juries is horrifying. They're only one step above brain dead.

Man, I read that and the first thing that popped in my head was that old video game thing with the LEEEEEEEROOOOOY JEEEEEENKIIIIIIINS clip

I mean, I guess? I view one as trying to keep someone from voting, which to me is a higher degree of severity because it isn't about 1 candidate at that point. It's about the whole ballot. In my state we have 2 very important amendments on the ballot: Raising the threshold to pass an amendment to 60% from 50% and free lunches for school kids.

Lying to keep someone from voting entirely, to me, does more damage as it keeps them from voting for their city, county and other state reps vs. it being about 1 candidate. If we boil it down to "acts (that) are intended to deceive" we'd have to include everything from the primaries on.

Those 'acts to deceive' would include ads such as presenting Al-Sayed as a Muslim Brotherhood jihadist".

Nope, but I can just imagine the crapola that was spilled.

BTW, don't you need a brain first to be brain dead?

Just wait. Tokens are meant to be spent.

While certainly you could spoil your ballot paper, what is the point in a system that is not compulsory?
Makes sense to protest this way in a compulsory voting system like in Australia.

Also some spoiled ballots may merely be accidental.
But with the Count running, the actual number of intentional protest votes are much more readily noticeable.
Votes for Alaskan Dan will be dismissed as proof of Dems cheating.
