The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
In my local rag, Roger Chesley cannot conceal his disdain for Trump’s recent order to create a panel to investigate “voter fraud”–a panel to be led by two experts at voter suppression, to boot.
A snippet:
In January, Trump claimed – without a scintilla of proof – that between 3 million and 5 million undocumented immigrants voted in the 2016 presidential election. Oh, and as he theorized later: “They all voted for Hillary. They didn’t vote for me.”
It must be his psychic connection.

GOP Health Care: “Don’t Get Sick. If You Do Get Sick, Die Quickly” 0
Dick Polman takes a look at Trump Care v. 2.0. A snippet (italics in the original):
