The election fraud lawsuits have started again.
…
But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”
“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.
Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.
He’s riling up his base. People are going to die for this skidmark
You ain’t fucking kidding. Cities are about to get raided by hillbillies & rednecks with guns on trucks. I wish I was exaggerating.
No. Remember after Jan 6 when the badass freedom-fighters promised ominous “actions” in state capitals on Biden’s inauguration day? That day came and went, and at the few “actions” that did happen attendance was in the dozens. When those chickenshit couch farts saw their revolutionary heroes getting methodically tracked down and arrested by the FBI, they stayed home and shook their tiny fists at their TVs. That pathetic bunch of cowards love to talk badass, but when faced with actual personal risk they couldn’t civil war their way out of a Walmart.
I’d caution this sentiment. I don’t expect highly organized violence and I don’t think anyone else here should either. What you’re going to get is basically random acts of domestic terrorism. We’ve already see several ballot boxes set on fire and that’s the kind of thing this crowd will perform.
Well that and I really do think that polling places are in danger and so do a lot of cities. Again I doubt they’ll face organized attacks but look at the election in 2020. Several polling places were attacked and formed large crowds demanding the voting be stopped. It’s not unreasonable to think those crowds get violent this time around and maybe even attack lines of voters.
But the ultimate thing is that people should expect the absolute worst. The people in 2020 did not feel like an election had been stolen. Their extremist groups had no time to organize. Now they have that time. And now their beliefs are stronger than ever. Do not underestimate how awful the US will be from now till January.
Cities are about to get raided by hillbillies & rednecks
I’ve got some terrible news for you, about the political contingent common to plenty of big cities. It won’t be hillbillies and rednecks tearing shit up. It’ll be city cops, state troopers, and the deranged failsons of used car dealers.
Together. Obviously.
You don’t even know how many inner city black folks love Trump, huh?
Ain’t just white trash that’s gonna try putting him in power
Uhh…yeah, it is.
I was just listening to some interview talking about how, while it was Dems’ efforts that pushed the pandemic stimulus checks through Congress, it was Trump’s signature on the check, and that was believed to have had a big impression on demographics no one would ever expect to go with the party of billionaires.
Edit: I should add that I only expect the votes coming from more diverse sources than what might be intuitive, not that all of those voters would be persuaded to go all-out “proud boys”.
Well, you do have a right to bear arms… protect yourselves 😥
Hasn’t even lost yet and he is already being a sore loser.
Imagine idolizing this loser.
“I DIDN’T LOSE YOU CHEATED!!!”
“We haven’t begun yet, sir”
“Sorry, habit”
Its so weird to see this unfold now where they know they can’t win in any legitimate manner so they are doing stuff like this before the election is even over. Its like, hey guys we only need the election to have a pretense that cheating is going on, which we all know is happening, but we blame it on the other side and seize power.
There was already an instance I read about yesterday where some former representative was caught on camera stealing ballots from a test machine and then telling someone else that the counts were fucked up (because he stole the ballots) so they want to create their own reality where the election is rigged…
I honestly think it’s going to work… They’re either going to get lucky and hate wins the day outright, or they’ll force a win through ratfuckery… :(
I saw that one too. Even if the media reports on it truthfully with headlines that don’t ragebait readers by withholding the fact that it was a R stealing R test ballots, MAGAots are just going to cherry pick “R ballot stolen” and raise their pitchforks.
Objectivity and truth doesn’t matter to the Qult of bigots, unfortunately.
that it was a R stealing R test ballots,
For clarification, he and a number of other voters were pre-selected to test the functionality of the ballots and voting machines to ensure no glitches happen on November 5. And while they were not the final draft of the ballots that were actually used, they were legitimate ballots by actual voters who voted early, and those ballots were just as valid as the final drafts.
So yeah, the guy stole 3 votes.
It’s not even the stealing of votes that was the point of his actions, he stole them and then pointed to the machine as the issue telling someone “fucked count.” He is trying to get people to believe that the voting machines can’t be trusted to properly count which is exactly the point. If/when they lose they’ll point to things like this as an example of how the election was “stolen” to justify them stealing the election…
God I hate these people…
Thanks for clarifying that, I misunderstood. Given what you said, it sounds like somebody needs the book thrown at them.
I honestly think it’s going to work
I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future, but Trump tried this same thing four years ago and couldn’t pull it off - and he was actually still the President at that time. Seems like it would be even more difficult for him to do it this time as an ex-president, especially considering that he’s now so old and senile that he can’t even paint himself orange properly any more.
It’s not up to him to install himself, but to have people work on his behalf at the state level. That is what failed the first time, but they’ve since “corrected” by having as many “election deniers” work in the departments necessary to mess with the states/counties vote counting. If they can get enough people gum up the works and to push enough lawsuits to drag this out they can then go to the SCOTUS to ask for them to essentially say “it’s been long enough, you have to stop counting.” in an event similar to Bush V Gore. :(
For anyone not paying attention this is the game plan
And with the usual ambiguous word salad too.
Hey, you heard about all this incredible cheating? Cheating. Cheating! Vote cheating is bad, it’s so bad. Never seen anything so bad I tell you. But the police does nothing. Nothing! You think vote cheating is ok? I don’t think people should be allowed to get away with it!
Etc etc etc ad nauseam.
Not enough capslock
SAD!
The election is RIGGED. Votes are being STOLEN from PROUD AMERICANS. You go to the poles and they throw away YOUR vote. But not when your vote is for BIDEN, no. The IMMIGRANTS are voting illegally and he counts their votes. But not for hardworking AMERICANS. And NOBODY stopped him. We WON’T let that happen again! HILLARY stole the vote! GO OUT THERE. COUNT THE VOTES. THE TRUTH WILL WIN.
We’re seeing in real-time why maintaining a coherent, unified, transparent voting system and communicating how and why it’s secure against tampering is so important. It needs to be difficult to sow doubt in the election, and you can only achieve this through simple to understand and explain methods.
Because if the average person can be convinced it’s not secure and legitimate, then it doesn’t matter what the reality is.
This is why I’m so sick of people pointing out the defamation lawsuits from the voting machine companies as some kind of win for the democratic process.
Voting machines have been just one of the many ways the Republicans have sown doubt over the results. Stop using voting machines, obviously (in my opinion. There’s also 2 great videos from Tom Scott on the topic)
Important things to get right:
- functioning, reliable postal system. (Trump did a great job on undermining this)
- unified electoral communication so that every place has the same election, not bloody 50 separate ones with wildly different practices. (Well shit, constitution needs to be amended)
- a simple voting recording method anyone can understand. (Voting machines are bad, simply because they’re too much of a security risk and black box that can have doubt sown very easily)
- consistent invigilation
- courts that aren’t stacked (good luck with this one, though)
And obvious move away from FPTP, but everyone is already calling for that.
Armchair citizen under the American empire, giving you my 2¢.
Nice of him to get all the denial stuff started early so both sides have a nice heads start.
/s
On a serious note though, dems can weapons this
“Trump is a sore loser even before people vote”
But they won’t.

The thing about wrestling in the mud with a pig is that the pig likes it.
If the democrats hadn’t been pussies for two decades before Trump and effectively welded power, we wouldn’t have had Trump.
The thing about wrestling in the mud with a pig is that the pig likes it.
Pig tends to not like it as much if the end result is you cook some bacon.
Also, the thing about not wrestling in the mud with a pig is, you’re bitch-made.
I dunno, when she said at the debate that people were getting bored and leaving his rallys early, that was straight out of the trump playbook, and he did not seem to like it at all
She should challenge him to a duel. His pro guns strong man fans will have to watch him give excuses as to why he can’t show up. Could be legal in Washington and Texas I think as fair fights are considered legal there if supervised.
/Joking in case it wasn’t obvious.
High road allll the way to losing. Yeeehaw!
Just learned to fucking wrangle a pig in the mud. It’s been done.
From The Guardian:
The queues for late mail ballots were a result of Pennsylvania not having an early on-site voting system at designated spots, as is the case in some other states. Instead, voters can apply for ballots on demand at election offices before filling them out and submitting them on the spot, a procedure that takes about 10 minutes.
The flood of late applicants overwhelmed electoral workers in Bucks county’s administration building in Doylestown, leading to a long queue, which was cut off at about 2.45pm on Tuesday
I went to drop off my ballot on Saturday and when I got there, not to the main office in Doylestown, but one of the smaller remote offices, and there was a huge line all the way across the front of the building and I was wondering what the heck was going on.
As I was getting to the end of the line, a person came over and asked if I already had my ballot, and when they saw it, they said I could go right in and drop it off. There was only one couple ahead of me there.
I had been wondering what the line was for, and now that makes sense. The Republicans had made the mail in ballot more complicated than necessary during COVID, so now they seem to feel it biting them as their potential supporters have been screwed by it.
“Democrat election officials are seeing our numbers. They’re seeing our turnout. They are seeing us breaking early vote records across Pennsylvania,” he said. “They are terrified. And they want to stop our momentum. We are not going to let them suppress our votes.”
Pennsylvania does not start counting votes before election day. Nobody has any clue as to who is voting for whom.
They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!” To me that just shows we can’t trust you!
I really hope Pennsylvanians do the right thing. These people need to be stopped.

This is the shit that is INFURIATING to me… They broke the system thinking it would hurt Democrats but now that it’s affecting them they just blame Democrats which also helps them in the end… God I hate these people so much
Yup, same nonsense as when they sabotage the Post Office and talk about how that doesn’t work. The votes against immigration reform and then the yelling about that not working. Won’t cut spending or raise taxes but complain about deficit spending.
They want you to want to throw out our current system so they can replace it. That’s why it’s important to understand the right people to be mad at. If you get mad at anyone other than them themselves, they win.
The other side of this coin which drives me nuts is when the GOP representatives who vote against things like the Infrastructure Act then claim credit for the money and projects being done in their districts. Bitch, you can’t vote against something then take credit for it when it benefits you! Two faced fuckers, every single one of them
Oh totally, it’s like, we got your actual vote right here!
They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!”
This has been their process for… ever. They cut funding to government agencies (eg. FEMA), then when said agency has a hard time doing their job. they point a scream that the agency can’t do it’s job and should therefore have it’s funding cut. Rinse, lather, repeat. And right wing voters fall for the sham every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.
They’re anti-education for a reason…
Ok, I am officially done with US election news and will apply filters on my app.
The way american law enforcement and the judiciary works there is absolutely idiotic.
Here you have a convicted felon who keeps spewing libellous and damaging lies aimed at destabilizing the political system and the election process and even when rare prosecutors get a judge to hear out the case, the judge cowls and refuses to apply the law just because the guy is a presidential candidate. But then Trump files suit after suit and can bog down the judiciary to the point of actually interfering in the election process and somehow this is allowed in the USA?
On the other hand there is a billionaire (Musk) who does the same, even breaking state law in addition to federal law, and then the judge also refuses to take action - even if some of the offences were squarely under state jurisdiction - presumably because the billionaire is too rich (on the PA case, Musk laywers argued that “Musk is an extremely busy man” and could not show up - if it was a non-billionaire, the judge would definitely issue an arrest warrant to bring the poor soul’s ass back into court).
If America elects Trumps and the world descends into unmitigated chaos, that’s because America’s weak-ass institutions and laws were completely ineffective to those with either money or power. No wonder MAGA and non-MAGA alike resort into extremism, since institutions and laws are applied so differently to people with money.

Now Trump is encouraging killing of his political opponents. And only one state AG did something.
This is by design. Im feeling it iny loins. This whole thing has been a cold civil war. “Look how far down we can fall, you should vote for reasonable candidates”. I swear this is just to keep the American people in line and accountable.
Edit: also this forces a higher voting turn out. A byproduct of all of this is more activism.
Chlling? More like pathetic.
It is, but it’s part of their plan to make the election seem rigged. It’s part of the whole ‘repeat a lie enough and people will believe it’ strategy. Unfortunately, if it wasn’t working this race wouldn’t be so close.
It justifies their own cheating and encourages more people to do it
if the courts werent so loaded in his favor those suits could be more easily dismissed.
If the Democrats had any balls Biden would court-marshall him and charge him for interfering in international affairs pertaining to both Israel and Russia. Skip the courts, he served the executive branch, head of the military, take him to a military court.
Best I can do is a court-TJ-Maxx
Fun TJ Maxx fact: in England the stores are called TK Maxx, apparently because “TJ” means “tug job”.
Great now that’s all I’ll think about when I hear TJ Maxx.
Brit here. Never in my life have I heard the phrase tug-job. In my life.
What do they call Ross?
Ross Don for Fewer
The campaign did not point to any instance in particular that led it to believe that voters had been treated unfairly in Bucks County, but county officials had observed that there were complaints on social media (shared by the Trump campaign) about long lines to obtain mail-in ballots on Tuesday, the last day of their availability.
If you wait until the last minute you might have to wait in line with the other procrastinators. This is not cheating or fraud it’s just common sense. But it tracks for Boomers to throw a tantrum if the world doesn’t magically accommodate them and they have to wait for anything.
They did not have any facts to present but they feel like cheating is occurring. That’s enough for a lawsuit right?
Bonespurs knows this bogus litigation won’t even cost him anything, his flock will pay for it.
I would actually call it a ho-hum sign. It’s just his fingernails scraping the floor as he gets dragged out of the spotlight to spend the rest of his sad-ass life in court.
His lawyers deserve what they’ll get from doing this – being unpaid.
They don’t need to be paid now. They can get fast-tracked onto the federal courts later.
“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.
Welp, he’s right about that part! Just not the way he thinks.
He wants SCOTUS to give him a gift in a state that matters. Virginia was nice but not necessary for Democrats.
Didn’t it used to be a crime to file frivolous lawsuits?
That’s only for the plebians not named Trump.
Add it to the pile.
Is there? Sounds more like a should thing.
