U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

"Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can't have an honest election with mail-in voting," Trump told Fox News Channel's "Hannity" after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. "He said there's not a country in the world that uses it now."

Why aren't there anymore protest in the US? Were the Kings Day protests really the only thing we are going to get? Those obviously never were going to do jack ahit. Is the general population actually ok with what's happening? It's hard to get a good reading on the general vibe over there from far away. I just can't phantom why DC is not being overrun with protesters right now.

The revolution will not be televised.

Search the term "music festival" to get around censorship. There's also an app called Jaywalk that helps list local protests.

Those two agree on it. How much more proof it's the easiest way to cheat does one need?

Well, he literally lied in the next sentence. So there's that, too.

Trump being a pedo isn't enough, he still needs Putin's approval

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

trump, and the co-pedophile, ghislaine is free on WORK RELEASE.

Ah yes, Putin. A man of who strongly believes in democracy. He won with 88% of the vote in his last election. His opponents are so shaken by his leadership that they keep looking themselves.

If republicans living in the 80's could see what they would become, their minds would shatter.

Mail in voting is more trustworthy that electronic voting.

Yeah, Putin is definitely the person Trump should be taking advice from about mail-in election ballots. 🙄

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Well, you and he can go suck each other off in some undemocratic hell hole and leave the rest of us alone. You are the criminals, after all. Get this, the murderer and rapist think things!

As an overseas voter who lives in hell trying to save for retirement because of asinine IRS laws (can't use Japan's advantaged retirement accounts because basically everything is a PFIC, most brokerages won't touch americans, etc.), you'd best bet I'm using my rights. Fuck you and release the Epstein files, you and all your enabling republican administration.

Good thing the states decide how to do elections.
