U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

    Oh, I’m sure that motherfucking PUTIN agrees with Taco on that. How can you scare and intimidate voters if they are able to safely vote from home?

    Ah yes, Putin. A man of who strongly believes in democracy. He won with 88% of the vote in his last election. His opponents are so shaken by his leadership that they keep looking themselves.

    If republicans living in the 80’s could see what they would become, their minds would shatter.

    Taking advice from Putin on “an honest election”. Trump is openly looking to take away people’s rights.

    Yeah, Putin is definitely the person Trump should be taking advice from about mail-in election ballots. 🙄

      Well, he literally lied in the next sentence. So there’s that, too.

    I thought they were there to discuss the Ukraine War? How did they get to mail in ballots?

    Also, why the fuck would the US care what Putin thinks of how the US elections are run?

      Take a quick look at Putin/Russia’s electoral history for the past couple of decades, and maybe it’ll become more clear

          In a paltry 6 months, he’s done far more than four years’ worth of damage to international relations and American citizens’ rights. That’s more than fair game for criticism, if you ask me.

            illegals don’t have rights they are just here… Yes some us citizens are being caught by ICE but they are getting released… Trump is out there and Biden was hiding and people lying for him saying he was sharp as a tac!

              Zero.

              The number of people mentioning Biden before you. Also, the number of people that give two shits about Biden at this point in time. Like tRump, staying on topic requires a modicum of intelligence and focus.

              By the way, illegals can be anything those making the laws says it is. It’s a slippery slope, and when reduced to fewer and fewer people determining what is and isn’t illegal, the faster it is subject to change. You should hope whatever in group(s) you belong to now never fall out of favor with those in charge.

            That’s the joke. Right now OP has 57 downvotes and no upvote. What’s happening?

                Looks genuine but then he must have forgotten a not and some more

                and you criticize him like he has not been there for four years already

                I am still surprised by the votes. The following comments were not there to reveal his opinions. Does everybody track users to know that they are pro Trump or was TDS enough of a signal?

                  I think “TDS” combined with the lack of “/s” was enough of a signal for the first few downvoters, and then it turned into dog piling.

      Remember when Taco had the audacity to call Hillary the puppet?

      Projection. It’s always projection with the cons.

    My mommy let me visit my friend Vlad and were were talkin’, ya know. And he said, you know what? I agree with you that mail-in voting is bad. And I said, yeah, right? See I know my friends agree with me. I’m going to go back and tell mommy what my friend Vlad said and say “See, mommy, even Vlad agrees!”

    Fucking toddler child loser leader of MAGA losers. WTF is wrong with these people?
