Why don't we just flush a million dollars down the toilet instead?

[I Won - Get Over It]

Eh... Did Trump get a coke or something? He is just too (aggressively) active recently.

[Dr. Arch]

I think there's a real chance that Democrats pick up both MT-AL and GA-6. Trump is just going for scandal after scandal without really solving or resolving anything.

[Virginiá]

Ah, I was getting worried there. After all, there is no such thing as a true Republican presidential administration in the modern era without a witch hunt to gin up support for voter suppression measures.

You should NOT have bullied Trump about ' losing popular vote = no mandate'

That wouldn't help the GOP suppress votes now, would it?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

given kobach is on it, it's clear this is a commission to increase fraud, not decrease it

[Badger]

A commission on voter fraud and voter suppression? I wonder which one will be dealt with more aggressively? Or at all?

[MasterJedi]

So where's the gif of the guy just throwing money everywhere?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Great news.  People keep complaining the administration is supposedly staffed with people who don't know what they're doing.  But Trump and Kobach are real experts when it comes to fraud, so I expect this to be a high quality operation.

The Pentagon would like to supply a million dollar toilet that is better at flushing money away.

[Sir Mohamed]

I think we also need a commission to investigate whether the earth is flat.

Serious: Actually we need one to investigate fraud in Drumpf's tax returns. Oh, I forgot, they're under a routine audit...

[#gravelgang #lessiglad]

NPR reported that the commission will be "bi-partisan."

In other words, they'll appoint someone like Zell Miller and call it a day, claiming bi-partisanship the whole time.

And I'm sure Kobach will find lots of fabricated "evidence" of fraud. It's more or less his only reason for being.

Are you referring to the soft drink or to...?

[The Arizonan]

There is tremendous voter fraud and we are going to get Kris Kobach, an incredible gentleman, to fix the problem with our democracy. There is so much fraud, you wouldn't believe it folks.

In all seriousness, voter fraud is pretty rare and you're more likely to find it inside state legislature chambers.

Ah, I was getting worried there. After all, there is no such thing as a true Republican presidential administration in the modern era without a witch hunt to gin up support for voter suppression measures.

Dont be surprised if Trump's team of legal geniuses tries to bring back the ''3/5ths of a person'' for black voters.

Well, he's employing a guy named Kris Kobach of Kansas, so don't be surprised at all.

[Santander]

He is creating jobs.
