When was the first time?

"[W]e'll pass election reform, and make sure no one, no one has an opportunity to steal an election again."

Said President Biden last night, quoted in "Biden slams 'MAGA Republicans,' compares the philosophy to "semi-Fascism'" (CBS News).

Steal an election again? When was the first time?

I'm guessing 2020.

Zuckerberg spilled the beans. The FBI stole the election for Biden. The FBI told FB that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. FB then censored the laptop story.

Wray MUST be fired. Lots of FBI agents must to be fired.

I'm so glad that we have such a unifying person pretending to be the President. We all know the election was stolen. If he wants to see what FASCISM really looks like, he should look in the mirror. He is more of a Dictator than Trump ever was.

mezzrow said...

It's a good thing we didn't elect a leader who would prepare us for a culling of the herd by pointing out the undesirables, eh?

Well, he's been under a lot a of pressure and he's no spring chicken. Probably just some random outburst. Nothing to worry about.

He's referring to 2016

What I like most about Biden is the unifying. I'm glad we have a President who calls half the country fascist instead of issuing a mean tweet.

That's the guy who said, "We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Bart Hall (Kansas, USA) said...

Quite arguably the first time, nationally, was 1876. Certainly 1960. There was a near-miss attempt by Democrats in Florida (2000), but they hadn't allowed for the near-total turnout of Cuban-Americans infuriated by the Gonzalez incident, and they just couldn't manufacture enough extra "votes" in the four counties where they controlled vote-counting.

At the sub-national level, it's much easier and much more common. It is obvious, too, that voter fraud in America has consistently favored one party, and one party only, at every level from dog-catcher to President.

I think 1800 and 1888 are both considered dodgy. 1960, of course.

2020, don't you remember? The FBI (The shield and sword of the party), informed people and businesses (including Zuckerburg at Facebook) that they would support the democrat party: Or ELSE

Biden TOLD us this earlier, when he said His Campaign Has Put Together the Most 'Extensive Voter Fraud Organization' in US History

Now that it's worked for THEM, they do NOT want anyone else trying it

You can run the best campaign, you can even be the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.

Mike Sylwester said...

When the Republicans get the majority in the House, they should investigate the FBI's efforts to cause Facebook, Twitter and other such businesses to suppress information that might embarrass the Democrat Party in Presidential elections.

In particular, the Republican majority should investigate the role that the FBI has played in suppressing news and discussion about Hunter Biden's laptop computer. Exactly what evidence did the FBI ever have that this story was "Russian disinformation"?

mikee said...

The 2016 election was stolen by Russians! That was the basis of The Resistance since then.

How soon we forget, when the same BS gets ladles out by the same BSers.

“We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

- Also Joe Biden

Of course, Reuters will claim this is a "slip of the tongue."

What Reuters won't explain is why, if Biden says previous elections were stolen after he had put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics then what went wrong? How did Biden's operation fail to previously protect our elections?

These morons can't keep their lies - er, rather, narratives straight.

Hunter Biden "uploaded" sex tapes to adult video website

Imagine if this were one of Trump's children.

Breezy said...

IIRC, that federal election reform bill, besides being unconstitutional, effectively enables more voter fraud via access to mail-in voting and prohibiting voter id. So he’s outright lying about that bill.

Nixon-Kennedy 1960? But at least one LBJ victory before then (the origin of the nickname "Landslide Lyndon").

Let's not forget the 2004 Rossi/Gregoire election for Washington governor. Rossi won with a few hundred vote margin. King County recounted and found more votes for Gregoire. They found ballots in an unsecure drawer and added them into the vote count. Not enough to give it to Gregoire. Recount again and find move ballots in another unsecure location. Miracle! Gregoire WINS!

Well, Woodie, we've also been told repeatedly that fraud in elections is next to non-existent, so please explain why we need to worry about the 'opportunity to steal an election' that you apparently think hasn't ever turned into an actuality.

They had to recount 3 times by the way.

Two normal machine counts found Rossi the winner.

They had to do a special hand recount of just King County to secure that victory.

Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russian Intelligence.

Trump gave Russian Intelligence insider polling data, which revealed the existence of "battleground states" in the election.

Russian Intelligence then spent literally tens of thousands of dollars to purchase Facebook advertisements that focused on those particular states. For example, one such advertisement showed Jesus arm-wrestling Satan, insinuating that a vote for Hillary Clinton was a vote for Satan.

Those Facebook ads enabled Trump to win those "battlefield states" and thus to win a victory in the Electoral College.

=======

Russian Intelligence blackmailed Trump with a secret film that showed Trump watching Russian prostitutes urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel.

Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen often met secretly with Russian Intelligence officers in Prague, where they discussed how Russia could meddle in the USA's Presidential election.

Trump's campaign-staff member Carter Page often met with high-ranking Russian Government officials to discuss the same subject.

Another Trump campaign-staff member George Papadopoulos met with a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud to discuss leaking Hilary Clinton's e-mails in an October Surprise to enable Trump to defeat her in the election.

======

Trump stole the 2016 election with the help of Russian Intelligence, and he still is committing espionage and sabotage for Russian Intelligence now in 2022.

However, our brilliant FBI is investigating Trump's dastardly plot to steal the 2024 election. The FBI has seized secret documents, in Trump's own home, that are evidence of his plots. These seized documents will enable the FBI to indict Trump on espionage charges.

The affidavit of the FBI raid on Trump's home must be redacted, because parts of the affidavit might reveal to Trump crucial elements of the FBI's super-secret investigation.

The walls are closing in on Trump. President Biden and his loyal FBI are making sure that no one -- specifically, Donald Trump -- will ever have an opportunity to steal an election again!

that was my favorite! The final count counted more votes than were cast (overcount).
To make it Super interesting, the winning margin was less than the overcount.

Now, of course; there's No Way To Prove, that all of the overcount were votes for Gregoire
So, No Fraud here! Move Along Folks, nothing to see here

He's a corrupt, incompetent, senile jerk.

Interpret as you will. He's so senile that he just admitted he stole the last election, he's so senile that he thinks someone stole the last election that he apparently won, he's so incompetent that he just says whatever nonsense comes into his head (something he regularly did when he was not senile), or he's a jerk who accuses people of bad actions because that is what he does and has always done ("back in chains" anyone?) Additional interpretations are available, none of which include good faith on the part of our "president."

He sounds like a dangerous election denier and is a clear threat to Our Sacred Democracy. I look forward to Nancypants launching impeachment proceedings promptly for his heinous heresy.

Now it is coming out all over the place that the FBI interferred with the 2020 election. We all knew it, but now the truth is coming out from zuckerberg himself. They planted evidence, they hid information, they spied on Trump ect...ect...ect....and yet...NOTHING is going to happen to any of them, and our country is going down the toilet BECAUSE of the lies.

hawkeyedjb said...

If the Democrats get outright majorities in both the House and the Senate, they will certainly pass their election takeover bill. And it's looking more and more certain. The will definitely have a majority in the Senate, thanks to the unelectable candidates the Republicans have put forth. The House will be close, but I expect a close majority for Democrats there too.

Remember what Charles Schumer promised you after the 2020 elections: We're going to transform this country. They have already done a lot of the promised damage, but there is more to come.

I’ll wait for Liz Cheney to say if this is or is not insurrectiony enough to trigger a giant violation of norms we’ll need to enact so we can get to the bottom of the scheme Joe is blowing the whistle on.

alanc709 said...

I always laugh when the fascists on the left decry the "near-fascism" on the right. Yup, so many totalitarians on the right. Seems like yesterday when I remember just how often President Trump used to, say, excuse student loans without authority or use the judicial branch to put Trump's political opponents in jail in solitary confinement for misdemeanors. Remember the raid on Hillary Clinton's home to seize all those classified emails? Good times.

Wait, so is Biden an election DENIER or is this a confession?

Lurker21 said...

If Biden were quick thinking, he'd answer "Stacey Abrams," but if he were quick thinking, he wouldn't have made the mistake.

This is on par with “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Fact checkers explain that away, but imagine if Trump had said it. Biden is at the point where the mistakes he makes may reveal more of the truth than "what he meant to say."

Critter said...

Joe Biden is a horrible person with the worst values of any president of the modern era - his affair with his floosy wife broke up two marriages and contributed mightily to the death of his wife, showering with a 6-year old granddaughter caused her lifelong prschological problems, his insistence that his son Hunter operate a large portion of the Biden family corruption enterprise, his pursuit of perusal interests in threatening to withhold taxpayer dollars from Ukraine unless they fire a special investigator who was getting close to Hunter’s corrupt deal, his violation of nearly every principle of the Catholic Church, his incessant lying to the American, his partnership with the cartels in the largest human trafficking in modern history, and his selling out of the U.S. to China, etc.

I cannot understand how anyone can look at Biden and not see the image of evil.

PB said...

I figured election "reform" was going to be the next thing a 50/50 Senate jams through. Leaving time for another trillion dollar extravaganza and judicial reform allowing expansion of the federal judiciary and supreme court closely followed by en masse confirmation of new judges and justices. It's going to be a wild 3-4 months.

A brave new world.

They've never admitted that Russiagate was entirely fiction. To this day they still believe that Trump somehow stole the 2016 election.

Biden keeps forgetting to not admit to stealing the election in 2020. They may have to put him down.

Fred Drinkwater said...

I've found that assuming a Democrat speaker is mostly projecting to be useful in avoiding such questions. Nice, also, for them to pre-announce their own plans so clearly. They are literally "blurting" their intentions.

rcocean said...

Putting words like "Neo" and "Semi" is just a cowardly way to get out of defending your insult.

Neo-fascist is still fascist
Semi-Nazi is still Nazi.

Biden stole the 2020 election. Biden claimed the 2000 election was stolen by Bush. Biden agreed with Hillary that "Russia" helped Trump steal 2016.

Whole lotta grand larceny going on. That's why Biden wants to make sure that Republican victories are safe, legal, and rare. Very rare.

rcocean said...

Why do people put up with McConnell and McCarthy and the DC Republicans? Trump wanted the electrol rolls cleaned up after 2016, and a federal election law put in place to ensure only valid, US citizens voted.

McConnell and Ryan and the DC republicans weren't the least bit interested.

When the D's took over in 2021, the first thing they did was try to jam through a law full of things that would make it impossible for the R's to ever win the Presidency again. Or the house. And they're still trying. Despite a 10 vote majority in the House and a 1 vote advantage in the Senate.

the DC Demorats want to win. The Dc Republicans want to be the loyal opposition and good losers.

And this dumb ass will still say Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia.

A "Kinsley gaffe" is accidental telling the truth by a regular politician. Biden tells these Walter Mitty stories about himself (including plagiarizing the life story of Neil Kinnock, a Labour candidate for PM in UK) so that he has retired the trophy for gaffes.

This is my favorite. He wasn't even senile then.

Bailey Yankee said...

Interesting timing right after it's been reported very recently that an FBI whistleblower said something to the effect that he and his colleagues are coming out because they don't want the FBI to influence the results of an election again.

Again? I had the same questions then. Which election? By whom? Influencing which results?
