  1. Mail in Ballots is how the Democrats will continue to cheat in order to win. They want it all to be Mail in. Cheat lie and Steal. That’s what Democrats do.

    • Isn’t it ironic that POTUS so often condemns that which he does. He voted by mail in last month’s Florida primary. Actually, he’s voted by mail several times in the past.

      • Are you saying that Democrats don’t cheat. That’s all they do. Lie, Cheat and steal our money for there own needs.

  2. So where is the story of Uncle Joe and sexual assault?

    Now that it’s Joe accused of assault, it will be all about the evidence. When it was Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh , it was all about the seriousness of the charge. May the Dems and the corporate media rot in a Hell of their own making for four more years.
