Yeah mostly because of filthy leftists.

Really? The GOP was actively trying to stop people from voting, and you blame leftists?

Christ, you people are in the fucking woods.

What group wanted unprecedented mail in ballots with no date stamps and no chain of custody? Which side is cheating which will sow distrust in the process itself?

Anyway, the good news is that I'll be able to eat leftist meat in the coming Mad Max times.

The mail in ballots we've used for years and years with no problems? Those mail in ballots?

And the side sowing distrust in the process itself...are you kidding? That's been the GOP's rhetoric for the past four years.

Enjoy your meat. I suspect you'd survive a week.

You must be university educated. It was unprecedented to do unsolicited mass mail voting. Absentee ballots are by REQUEST you inbred monkey. How's that $60,000 student loan doing for ya?

University indoctrinated
FTFY
Also, you know he's rocking way more in student loan debt for his dual women's studies and African dance therapy masters degrees.

...it still was by request? You had to go online and say you wanted a ballot mailed to you. So what are you talking about?

Also, "unprecedented"? Could it have something to do with...I dunno....the FUCKING PANDEMIC?

You must be uneducated.

[–]sproketboy 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

ballot mailed to you.

Wrong.

PANDEMIC

That happen all the time, chicken-wit. Go hide in your basement like creepy joe.

[–]AcceleratedWallops 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

What the fuck you mean "wrong"? That's exactly how it worked.

And pandemics happen all the time? Since when? What are you even talking about?

[–]sproketboy 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

That's exactly how it worked.

These were unrequested mass mailed via the old inaccurate voter rolls.

pandemics

Forgot about SARS? We also have flue every year cry baby.

[–]AcceleratedWallops 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well, not in my state I guess.

SARS was 17 years ago dude. And the flu doesn't kill 250k people in under a year.

Illegally voting FTFY

[–]AcceleratedWallops 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Lol sure. Because making hundreds of thousands of people share a single ballot box was to "stop the illegals."

No, it was to make the lines really fucking long and discourage people from doing it.

[–]quantum-step 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Hundreds of thousands of people across thousands of ballot boxes (the dominion voting computers that ate a piece of paper) per city. My city had over 90 polling locations with at least 6 ballot boxes (computers) per location. Source of claims: I was a fucking poll watcher.

Your logic is flawed. I don't know if you're trolling, or just upset..
Nevermind, judging by your other posts... all I have to say to you is "Yes, little one. Orange man bad. Everything you know is right, and everything the entire world knows is wrong. Why? Because you're my special little guy. You are important, and you mater just as much as black people".
Now go tell your wifes boyfriend to buy you the new call of duty.

I was referring to what was going on in Texas. But glad to hear your city isn't a GOP-controlled shit hole and cares about maintaining some semblance of democracy.

"The entire world knows"....lol. The entire world knows Trump is a crook and a con man, except for those he has conned. America is the laughingstock of the world thanks to his bullshittery.

[–]quantum-step 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

If the entire world knows, then why do you have to tell people about it?
No, its not a gop controlled shithole. It's a democrat controlled nigger shit landfill deeper than the Mariana trench.
Teenage pregnancy is 2nd highest in the country. Drug use per middle school children is 4th highest in country. Constantly rising murder and suicide rate. 5th highest number of drug overdoses in the country. 49th worst state in crimes and corrections. 47th worst economy. 49th worst in public education. 7th highest chance of getting raped. All so illegals can get free shit while the people that work here take home less than 65% of the money they make. All because of LIBERAL policies that are voted against and signed in anyway by the Governor. Democrat of course. The only shit holes in Texas are the liberal run parts. Austin, Houston, El Paso, etc.

Mississippi isn't GOP controlled? Uh ok

[–]quantum-step 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Missisipi isn't gop. Yes, your right about one thing.
I thought you would be smart enough to know I'm not talking about that state, as it doesn't give free shit to illegals, nor is it's capital a fucking sanctuary city, and as you said ITS NOT GOP CONTROLLED, DUMB ASS! Clearly you're too ignorant and stupid to Google states correctly, because you clearly took the first result you found as a unarguable fact. Still, unlike you. I'll admit when the data changed, and therefor I was wrong. It's no longer 49th worst public education, its now 51 out of 50. All democrat controlled. All democrat policies. All democrat votors, minus people with jobs that all voted a straight red ticket. https://wallethub.com/edu/e/states-with-the-best-schools/5335 Heres another one ranking us 51 out of 50 https://www.insider.com/states-with-the-best-and-worst-public-education-systems-2019-7#51-new-mexico-1 Or this one 49th out of 50. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/02/08/geographic-disparity-states-best-and-worst-schools/1079181001/ And another one at 49th out of 50 https://www.insider.com/us-states-public-education-system-ranked-us-news-world-report-2019-4#49-new-mexico-2

Look at these while you jerk off to old pictures of Obama, and educate yourself on something besides your own closed minded view of the world fed you by the media.

How is Mississippi not GOP? The last time they voted blue was Carter.

Also interesting that the top of those lists is pretty blue, huh? 🤔

Mm

Oh, yeah? Well, we've got more Nukes than anybody else on the planet. So there.

in fact I don't live there anymore and it's not a democracy anymore. This just in: Biden tried to STEAL the erection.

What I said about nukes was meant to be funny but I see there is nothing funny about that at all.

[–]Druullus 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Never was a democracy?

[–]hennaojichan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I think technically it always was a republic but that's not a huge difference. I'm not sure what the difference is but for sure it wasn't a democracy on Nov 3. That was a kleptocracy. I used to be a kleptomaniac but I took something for it. Ta Da.

So what inspired your name? Sounds like a Roman emperor or empress but I'm not asking which.
