How the hell can you mail a ballot to a dog and a cat?

Trump keeps making this claim. That ballots were mailed to dogs and cats.

Wtf!! Will nobody call him out on this crap?

3. He does not give any reporter the opportunity to "call him out".

He spews his bullshit one direction.

Sure, ask Kayleigh tomorrow; she'll go to her binder for more lies.

Repetitive, stumbles in every presentation, pretty much drones on. Today seems even worse. I pity the trapped reporters and lower-level staffers.

14. They do it because they know conservative voters are idiots.

They desparately want to believe that their troubles in life are a result of poor people and people of color gaining a little bit of equality and not the result of wealthy people wanting to consolidate money and power.

Trump is also an idiot, but he is the Pied Piper of idiots right now. Probably because he relates to them so well, being one himself.

16. Dead cat didn't actually get a ballot.

He just got a ballot application. I guess some third parties are sending people (and rarely, dead cats) ballot applications. Applications have to be filled out and sent to the board of elections for approval. Sending an application in a name of a dead cat would be fraud. Such an application wouldn't match a registered voter, and dead cat would not get an actual ballot.

the dumb ass probably has no idea of how voter registration interrelates with actual voting. He can't grasp the fact that it doesn't matter how many ballots are printed and who may get one by hook or crook, only one vote is going to happen with one registration. Nor does Trump realize that Republican voters would be more likely to cheat than Democratic voters.....

My dog is smart, but she has not yet registered to vote, and if registered, she would demand a treat to vote, and for two treats she would probably vote for Trump; she has no conscience about treats or the garbage can.....

"Meow, meow, meow" and next thing you know the ballot arrives. Fluffy fills it out, adds a paw print and sends it back in.
