I Don't Know How To Express This - But This Voter Commission That Trump Is Addressing Now....

says the right things and hides behind the words of Past Presidents - all the while that we all know that their real intention is to suppress the vote with the motive to steal future elections.

How can we have voter integrity - when the people that are running this commission have no integrity.

We're watching our rights just slip away right in front of us and we have no recourse. We just have to sit back and watch it happen to us.

We know that this is bogus. The MSM knows that this is bogus. They know that this is bogus. Yet it is all being laid out in front of us - like Trump shooting someone in the middle of Times Square in broad daylight.

Doesn't this have the smell of this was planned all along. The Russian collusion/hacking/interference. The clean sweep of the Repugs in the House, the Senate, the presidency. The challenge by Trump saying 3million voted fraudulantly so that he could appoint this commission. So that they can take a little more of the rights of the American People away on a day-by-day basis.

How can we just sit back and let this happen. Did our founding fathers intend on letting one Party have total rule without the input by the other Party?

I just don't get it. But everyday - I feel worse and worse as I see our democracy slip away from us. This is demoralizing!!!!!

Those of us who can help should do so, with explaining the process, finding necessary documents, getting people where they need to go, whatever happens to be needed.

there was massive voter fraud.
His precious ego was damaged.
Can't have that, can we?

Said he would authorize a commission to look into it.
His Orangeness didn't understand that this was not just another throwaway line like "lock her up" or "believe me".

The president-elect had made a statement that had to be followed up with concrete action.
Otherwise the press would have been all over him after the inauguration.
"Where's your commission? Where's all this alleged voter fraud?"

So here we are. Spending who knows how many millions of taxpayer bucks on a bogus 'commission' so that the Bogus Potus* can try and save a little face.

That what Hartmann and Palast were talking about at midday. Less than 5% of Americans have passports.
