but but but the cut in postal service is just a conspiracy theory, right?

Or so says that fountain of truth known as Fox News

People dying from a hoax, now PMG cuts back on something that is a hoax, what the...???

We need to know what the meaning of "hoax" is in Republican education.

 

It may be later rather than sooner, but the GOP is going to have to wear the disgrace of this charlatan and his enablers for a long time to come.

 

 

 

 

GOP definition of "hoax": Any fact or situation that Donald Trump can not defend, lie about or plausibly blame on somebody else.

 

Trump is going to lose this election, he has known it since about Memorial Day and he is laying the ground work to not accept the results and whip his MAGA force into a frenzy. It will be the cherry on the Big Ice Cream Sunday of corruption that has been all that is #45. I still laugh every time he tries to convince everybody that the election will be stolen from him when he is the sublime master thief of this generation. Meanwhile mail boxes are being ripped out of the ground and sorting machines sit in back of post offices all over the country disassembled... all in the past two weeks...

Yes you're quite right of course, I was doing business in French for too long, sometimes I do get words mixed up. Really sorry about that.

This is typical of the way many arguments these days: don't stick to the point being made, just insult the messenger.

There's this:

WE   think you're wrong.

YOU  think we're stupid and / or evil.

A lack of a sense of humour seems to be involved also, but that's REALLY avoiding the subject at hand, as I'm sure you'll agree.

Well, no, actually. I was just poking gentle fun at you.

But the main point, which somehow managed to avoid your attention, was to ask "do you have a link to that unsubstantiated and unlikely claim that"

 

"Postal voting leads to fraud, indeniable. 20% of New Jersey Primary votes were refused, and a large percentage went missing.""

Evidence please.

I just googled it, same as you could. Sorry this doesn't fit your narrative, try using other news sources occasionally. 

Even 10% would swing many elections:

It was a municipal election. And despite a lesser degree of ballot security than would be the case in statewide elections, the perpetrators were caught.

Keep minimalising the problem. For every case that is discovered, how many remain  hidden?  Postal voting opens up huge opportunities for fraud. You just aren't reading about what is happening across America. 

You know what happens after the elections? There will be recounts, anulations, appeals, while the Dems scream "Trump is a dictator, he won't accept the results". For months. Riots will continue.
