My wife says he was the garbage man collecting garbage, but can he prove that? Could he have been part of a city wife ballot harvesting scheme? Can he prove he wasn’t?

I’m just asking questions here.
OMG! I had the same thing happen yesterday at my house!

It's funny how Nevada and Georgia have suddenly become so important for the race.

Did either the Democrats or Republicans spend more resources than usual campaigning in those states?

Nevada's 6 electoral votes are typically not a deal breaker, but Georgia emerging as a possible future battleground state would be pretty significant.

There's zero evidence that they contain ballots, there's zero evidence that there's a security issue, there's zero evidence of anything that anyone with basic critical thinking skills would take issue with.

Nobody addressed your concern because it wasn't valid, it was entirely based on Crowder and some lady telling you what to believe about what you watched. You didn't think for yourself, you let two talking heads think for you, and now you're upset because nobody else did the same.

You don't want to be accused of being a conspiracy theorist? Then use some critical thinking when you're watching a video, and stop believing everything you watch and read when your own eyes should tell you different.
You are something else man.

Actually, this needs to be said.
You consistently debase someone else’s position to make it easier for you to denigrate the person. It’s amazing you can write multiple paragraphs based on insults, assumptions and false claims, when you could have otherwise ignored, or used the one sentence of actual substance in your post if you felt the need to reply.

Instead, you tired to make me look stupid for having the audacity to question something, and when I called out you not addressing the issue, you stoop to entirely baseless personal attack.
It’s interesting how you couldn’t be bothered to answer the original question because it wasn’t valid, yet you were sure quick to respond to the imaginary, non-existing one.

I did not claim they were bags full of ballots. I claimed I don’t agree that personal belongings should enter a secured area unchecked. That’s not a position I had to learn from a YouTube video, by the way; it’s pretty standard practise for secured entry points.

Keep it up. You do a wonderful job at being terrible at arguing effectively. It would be nice to have the level of self assured audacity that you seem to possess. Where any argument you don’t immediately side with is the result of someone else’s stupidity. Must be pure bliss to go through life as not just an ass, but a damn fine arrogant one at that.

No clue. It's on the screen pretty much right now. Big if still true...

Wait, the party that was created for the sole purpose of returning the Republican Party back to pre-Trump times, now wants to return the Republican Party back to pre-Trump times? Dang, we got bamboozled.

With Conway involved, the grift was obvious. But, I enjoyed how much they got under Trump's skin & pissed off the TrumpHumpers.

Oh I agree, which is why it was so hilarious watching liberals fall all over themselves to praise them and act as if these were reformed, honorable Republicans, who were strictly concerned about beating Trump.

The only reason the Lincoln Project hated Trump was because he said the quiet parts out loud. As soon as the GOP names a leader with the same fascist agendas, but who isn't mentally deranged they'll fall in behind lock step

What are you even talking about? That was their primary goal, get Trump out. No one was under any illusion that The Lincoln Project were Republicans-turned-Democrats, and I don't think anyone is shocked that they are still and will continue to be Republicans.

What exactly about questioning this as a practise is a conspiracy theory?
OK, I'll fall on my sword here. No, I didn't bother to watch past the wagon footage (because I assumed that anything that followed would be similarly a waste of time). I apologize for that.

However, I went back and watched (as I figure I owed you that much). I saw zero evidence of any serious lack of security. The footage fails to show the important part: what happens when those people and those bags enter the secured vote area. So I think my point stands: it does not provide any reasonable grounds to question/suspect what is happening.

Waiting for legal votes to arrive to be counted, before they start counting.

Yup which means again, there were alot of D/R votes. (Pres/Senate)


That's why I also believe AZ is being cooked. The vote splits make no sense. Especially in AZ, there may be McCain lovers who still may vote McSally but absolutely not Trump.

Not final results no but they dropped a small batch from Clark and what appears to be the lion’s share of the remaining rural vote. The result was to increase Biden’s lead to 11,800, with tens of thousands of mail and provisional ballots left to be counted in Clark County.

Nevada won’t be called yet, but it’s over. That’s why the GOP is suing down there; they know it too.
