The pole should be drawn as carried by an elephant, as it was in the last several elections, not by Putin on a horse. Unfortunately on this issue Toles has drunk the establishment Democrat Kool-Aid. The greatest enemy of what’s left of US democracy is at home, not abroad.
Let’s start with ‘Russia, if you are listening’ then go to the Ukrain, and finally ask communist china to get in on our election process. No problem with this, we have almost an entire political party quietly cheering on the destruction of our political process. So all is fine.
I wish this was all a bad dream and that I could be certain that any political party would not hesitate to put the safety and security of the US above party loyalty.
Gerrymandering. Citizen’s United and Super PACs. Numerous measures to keep people of color and of low financial means from voting. All assaults on the one of democracy’s basic pillars.
Say what?!!! Umm… the polls show that tRump would likely lose to most Democratic candidates in a popular election. But the popular vote is even less consequential than Republican “values” in the tRump era. In swing states, tRump’s neck-and-neck, and is essentially even in the polls if a far-left candidate gets the Democrats’ nod. So even without Russian interference, this country is stupid enough that a tRump re-election is quite likely. Russian interference merely improves the odds.
I keep hoping/wishing that this election won’t be so badly damaged as to prevent a useful result… and that the next administration (and a lot of new congress critters and senators) will manage to roll back some of the damage this administration has done.

What about the pole they’re going to hang you from?

He’s not a Pole, he’s a Russian.

And Moscow Mitch tabled the proposed legislation to tighten the security of our elections. A coup in the making, in plain view!

He’ll walk away unscathed…like he always has…he’s blatantly stupid, vengeful and demeans everyone and anyone.

I thought that he was more interested in a different “Pole” of his boyfriend, Vlad…

The easy way is usually the best. Just place the “Democrat” ballot box over a shredder. Easy!

Ever notice that you can usually disregard anything emanating from anyone who uses “Democrat” as an adjective?

Ivanka’s Chinese made voting machines should have no trouble voting Republican.

It’s very “imPutint” that Trump be re-elected.
He is, after all, the one Russia selected.
From the Kremlin throne the word’s been proclaimed,
The winner in ‘20 is as good as been named.
.
The Billionaire Dictators Club’s quite international.
The members think their world dominance rational —
It’s efficient to have despots down to a few
Who divide up the Earth into bite-size fiefdoms to chew.
.
If only the America’s and Europe would join in the clique,
Africa and Australia might fall pretty quick.
With Asia divided ‘tween Putin and Xi
The world in a chorus would make sweet harmony.
.
The Billionaire Club is doing its best
To bring Donald’s influence and wealth up to the rest.
Their manipulative plans will help it increase —
A few more hotels here; there, a lucrative lease …
.
So now we’re at the crux of a national crisis,
Not immigrants streaming through and not necessarily ISIS.
It’s a hostile invasion, all right, spurred by sin —
But the real enemy is US, coming from WITHIN.
.
Here’s your Republic, Washington said with pride;
Keep it safe, if you can and don’t let it slide
Into such arrogant monarchy as we had before.
We want no such battles to fight anymore.
.
And so, when in ‘20 you go to your polling place,
Don’t punch “Da” for “Donald” in the presidential race.

Notice how there’s a Veterans Day but NOT a Draft Dodgers Day? This seems at odds with our national ideal of inclusiveness……

The whole point for Republicans is to win. The end justifies the means in their minds.

The Toles polls and the trolls polls poll and pull in opposite directions
And therefore the polling trolling Vladimir-rolling push is rolling our elections
