One of the very stupidest things I heard about the alleged mail-in fraud conspiracy Trump and Barr claim to be concerned about came from Barr's answers in this Washington Post interview:
"I'm talking about a comprehensive rule where all the ballots are essentially mail-in, and there's so many occasions for fraud there that cannot be policed," Barr continued. "I think it would be very bad, but one of the things I mentioned was the possibility of counterfeiting."

"Did you have evidence to raise that specific concern?" Inskeep asked.

"No, it's obvious," Barr responded.
And Barr is supposedly a highly regarded and competent attorney?! That would be like a prosecutor in a trial arguing, "I admit that I have no evidence that the defendant committed the murder, but it's obvious!" To admit to having no supporting evidence for one's case, but nevertheless insisting it is obviously true, is about as oxymoronic as anything I can possibly imagine! I'm sure that any self-respecting judge would dismiss the case immediately if the prosecuting DA tried to rest his case on no better final argument than that!

I don't believe for a microsecond that Trump and Barr's expressed concerns about mail-in voting are motivated by anything more honorable than desperation to do anything they can get away with to rig the election in Trump's favor. For Trump to accuse the Democrats of trying to rig the election is a clear case of projection.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Barr, like most of the assholes around Trump, knows the Trump base will believe fu-cking anything. They don't have to make sense which is why they never do. Trump's supporters don't notice because they aren't smart enough. There's absolutely no other explanation for why they accept this admin's BS. They're mindless and enjoy a good ass-raping.

Seriously, Trump supporters are knuckle dragging mouth breathers. They are the missing link proving the voracity of evolution. At least we can take solace in knowing they're trying to expose themselves to the deadly virus first. I'd thank them if I wasn't aware they're doing it out of stupidity and selfishness.

And let me tell you something... I exalt in articulating how stupid Trump supporters are. There is no danger in it; if you are stupid enough to vote for Trump, me pointing out your stupidity won't make a bit of difference. If you vote based on what people think of your intelligence, you're proving that you are, indeed, fu-cking stupid.
