Donald Trump suggested in a speech at a Colorado rally on Saturday that election officials will throw away mail-in ballots if they don't "like" them.

"I have real problems with ballots being sent," Trump said, according to a transcript by NBC's Ali Vitali and Emily Gold. "People say, oh, here's a ballot, bing. Here's another ballot, throw it away. Oh, here's one I like, we'll keep that one."

Trump claimed that there are "a lot of people" watching election officials.

"We're trying to have some pretty good supervision out there," he said. "We have a lot of people watching you people that collect the ballots."

1. Gawd, how I wish this piece o' shite fascist would go away.

3. OH NO YOU DIDN'T

[wordpix]

11. I love it, we need the humor with this so called new email "scandal" bigger than

going into Iraq for WMDs

[jmowreader]

2. This worthless SOB is trying to start an insurrection

If he succeeds, he needs to go to prison for the rest of his life.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. He's suppressing his own early voting. Hillary is banking votes. . . . nt

[padfun]

5. This is the way he tells his followers to go destroy ballots.

And yet keep his plausible deniability.

[barbtries]

6. what the fuck

is wrong with this man.

[wordpix]

12. he's insane, that's all

seriously, I have a friend who worked in residential facilities for the insane for 20+ yrs. and he told me everything about Trump shows classic signs, from the way he talks to hand gestures. I just go by what he says (and his crazy hair) but my friend sees other signs.

[barbtries]

13. i know he is deeply disturbed,

very sick. he's narcissistic to the point of infantilism. how can so many people perceive him as a suitable choice for president. it's fucking scary.

[BlueMTexpat]

7. He's not only a

POS. He's a clueless POS who has no idea whatsoever about how public servants do their jobs.

It's projection all the way for him. Whatever he accuses others of doing - or wanting to do - he has either already done himself or wants to

Rules are things that we "losers" follow.

Please, please, please - let Cheeto Hitler be held accountable for his false and outright treasonous statements and treated accordingly! Please!

8. Jesus Christ, how stupid is this man?

"We're trying to have some pretty good supervision out there," he said. "We have a lot of people watching you people that collect the ballots."

Yeah asshole, we do. We have people from the Dems, we have lizards from the Repukes, we have people from the county, we have people from the state, we have people from the federal government, we even have people from other countries come over and watch us on he we conduct our elections and peacefully transition our government, just as we have been doing for 240 years. Something your goblin lookin ass doesn't give a shit about and is actively trying to subvert.

9. In other words

We can't flip mail-in votes diebold style.

[riversedge]

10. Trump makes stuff up-lies and gets his fans agitated. just makes stuff up-NOTHING

to base it on.

14. Already Trump supporter got busted for trying to vote twice in Iowa.

Because she was supposedly afraid her vote was going to be changed from Trump to Hillary.
He seems to be encouraging his supporters to vote multiple times.

[rtracey]

17. yeah

Yeah like the repub governor is doing and got caught in Florida

[pat_k]

18. Yeah right. Nobody would think to safeguard against that.

Sure. SOS's just have some person sitting a room, opening ballots, deciding which to count, and shredding with rest. No witnesses. National parties don't bother to check out procedures. ACLU doesn't bother. No citizens' groups have any interest they'd bother to try to protect. Of course not.

19. We used to call people like Trump a poor sport

He's no champion, that's for sure. As a spoilsport, he would rather try to topple the American Way than to admit he is indeed, a loser.
