Yep, quite similar. Funny how it just works.The Hill puts an end to the Trump claim of widespread voter fraud of mail in ballots.

Vote fraud in the United States is exceedingly rare, with mailed ballots and otherwise.thehill.com

To follow up with that.....on April 23, 2018, the USPS put out a memorandium REQUIRING all absentee/mail-in ballots to be postmarked. A reference to that is seen on pg. 7 (pages numbered in lower right corner) of this .pdf.....
Many states use the postmark as the official timestamp for the ballot to be counted. As a result, the return processing and postmarking of ballots is considered critical to election results. Postal Service guidance issued on April 23, 2018, states that all ballots mailed back from voters must have a cancellation postmark including absentee ballots, vote-by-mail ballots, and business reply mail ballots.
Prior to that, it was up to the state...and more than half had already required postmarks on absentee/mail-in ballots prior to the memorandum mentioned above.

The hill also put an end to leftie dummies trying to act as if there is this whole mastermind secret plan to get rid of votes for Biden with a giant conspiracy theory that Trump is going to stop voting by mail. You know, the conspiracy theory that you guys just drinking from?

Trump is completely full of crap, which if you've been paying attention the last 4 years is not a surprise.
He's been sending flyers to Republican hot spots saying mail-in voting is perfectly safe and reliable.

You'd be right, except for what Trump has said on the subject-
Trump admits he's refusing to fund the US Postal Service to sabotage mail-in voting
"If they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting," Trump said of a grant and funding increase for the USPS.

Hey dummy, Trump admitted in public he was sabotaging the post office to stop mail in ballots. Yeah I know he didn't use the word sabotage.

Republicans think if you don't use specific words like "collude" or "quid pro quo" when you crime, then it's all good. Like our laws were written by the Ministry of Magic or something.

His “explanation” as to why Trump’s comments aren’t relevant pale in the face of facts. Still lying, aren’t you? I do love the Russiagate 2.0 bullshit just a day or two after the Senate investigation into Trump and Russia blows that “Russiagate is all a lefty conspiracy” shit out of the water.
But of course you’ve never heard of such an investigation nor the release of info that was DAMNING to Trump, Manafort and Trump’s entire campaign...not to mention showing, indirectly, Republican complicity incovering all that collusion with Russia that Trump was up to his eyeballs in.
I'm not watching 15 minutes of right wing Trump decoder ring nonsense. I just listen to the man himself.

Yeah this is a problem thats been going on since Donald first announced he was running.
The guy spends one minute saying something incredibly stupid or just batshit crazy, and everyone has to spend days analyzing just to find out what he really meant. This includes hardcore liberals, hardcore conservatives, more moderate politicians and pundits, and the average Joe. Its a huge distraction from the real issues and absolutely deliberate. Somebody a long time ago figured out the average American has a ridiculously short attention span and the GOP has been using that as a weapon against reality and journalism.
We NEVER had this problem with Obama. He meant what he said, and he could actually say what he means. The only issue there was racist conservatives had an agenda to misrepresent what he was saying and so they tried very hard to distort his words or look for hidden meanings or sometimes they just ignored him and dug up batshit conspiracy theories about what he was doing when not speaking. Most Americans saw thru that nonsense but just enough of them were brainwashed into voting for Donald 8 years later.
This is also a horrible waste of time. Donald rarely says or types anything of real value, but if we spend days analyzing all of his one minute speeches or tweets, we wont be done with the cock sucker until the summer of 2215. We could all be dead long before then, humanity having been wiped out by pollution or war.
The Hill is right wing Trump nonsense? It's literally the same that HomerJS mentioned above.
While it is an opinionated column - where one side (the woman) is a leftie, and the right side is a righty - they both are often criticizing their own parties.
But hey - don't worry about free thoughts, just consume your mindless mainstream propaganda. God forbid you challenge your cognitive bias' and listen to different perspectives. I know, I know, that's just too challenging for you.

Come on man, Trump used his big boy words to say exactly what he wanted to do and why. We don't need to spend hours researching what he actually meant this time. Occam's razor.
Which is it - is he an evil genius with massive plots that he will be able to easily cover-up as he is a commanding puppet master and can silence the media that hates him?
Or is he a complete dumbfuck that can't even make complete sentences or have a rational conversation?
You can't have it both ways - they are directly contradicting.
Blah, blah, blah. It's tedious putting up with Trump apologists telling us what he really means. Trump says withholding funding will screw up the vote, while he's withholding funding. Meanwhile, you claim that we need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Get real.

Strongman Trump is a fascist who actively says fascist things out loud, on video. Luckily, there are still a critical mass of media companies that don't just repeat what Strongman Trump says as fact. Strongman Trump has publicly screamed about this on multiple occasions.
Strongman Trump, fortunately, is a gigantic fucking moron surrounded by incompetent fucking morons who tend to stay stupid shit out loud, on video. The problem is that there are 60+ million American right-wing authoritarians, like yourself, just waiting for the Boogaloo to get called by a high-up enough fascist so you can take action against your fellow citizens. Your active disdain for your fellow citizens who don't believe the bullshit you believe isn't even hidden - it's right there in every single post.
You can spout off the BothSidesDoIt™ bullshit all you want. Only the collaborators share your opinions, and no one else is fooled by them.
