It’s Monday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

08/18/2025:

Ahead of the meeting this afternoon, RT shared a video that was shared by a third party person on Twitter.

I tracked the source back to this account on Twitter…

After googling my fingers and mental health to the bone, Lenny Ghoul told me to ask grok if the video was legit–in so far it was shared by RT (Russia Today).

Show more =’s flying both Russian and U.S. flags during an assault near Malaya Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. This appears to be propaganda trolling amid recent Trump-Putin talks, symbolizing forced “peace” or alliance.

So to confirm the post was shared by RT–the video can’t be verified by other people as to when that video was taken, but it is more evidence of Russia propaganda and the horrible meeting that happened in Alaska.

After Z’s last Oval Office visit—where the President and VP bickered like toddlers on a sugar high—I’d be genuinely stunned if this next meeting doesn’t spiral into a full-blown shitshow. And we all know why: the President’s still nursing the bruises from getting his ass handed to him in Alaska by his ‘friend,’ Dictator Vladimir Putin.

Proof he got his ass handed to him in Alaska? A 37-post tantrum—plus one pity retweet—on Lies Social Sunday. I’m sparing you the details, though; reading them would be like staring directly into the sun of stupidity.

Russian stuff he said on Lies Social…

President Unhinged can take his bullshit and shove it. Putin invaded. Putin could end this war right now if he told his troops to go home. And yet, it’s gutting to know a disturbingly large chunk of this country is cheering for Russia.

“6 war in 6 months”…

Show more =’s with Ukraine ongoing and some roles disputed.

In other musing President posting his way through his terrible meeting with Russia posted…

Rumor’s on social media are that what President all thumbs and tiny hands was trying to say was “Beta” or maybe “BETA”, following CA Governor Newsom (please for the love of all things holy, check your phone Newsom does not have an e on the end), called President all thumbs and tiny hands a beta male.

The account is fire. They also replied to “Bela”…

This morning the post Constitutional President posted that he intends to continue to violate the Constitution.

The text.

I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Narrator: We are not the only country that allows mail-in voting…

International IDEA (10/31/2024): has identified 34 countries in the world that allow postal voting, of which 12 allow it for all voters, and 22 for some voters. International IDEA’s survey found postal voting for in-country voters to be more common in Asia, Europe and Oceania. Europe has the largest number of countries that make in-country postal voting available to all or some voters. Postal voting is very rarely used in Africa. Following the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, postal voting garnered significant interest in many countries as a safer alternative to conventional voting. Over 100 countries allow some form of out-of-country postal voting, though the specifics vary greatly depending on the country’s laws and procedures for absentee or external voters. 

I got the link to the above via ChatGPT.

Q: How many countries have a form of mail in voting?

ChatGPT said:

As of 2024, at least 34 countries around the world offer some form of mail-in voting, also known as postal voting. These nations include democracies across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In many of these countries, postal voting is available to all eligible voters, while in others, it may be restricted to specific groups such as citizens living abroad, military personnel, or individuals with disabilities.

Notably, several countries have adopted postal voting as a standard practice:

  • Germany: All eligible voters can vote by mail. Postal voting has been common since 1957 and was made available to all voters in 2008. In the 2021 federal election, 47.3% of voters cast ballots by mail. Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1
  • Switzerland: All voters can submit their ballots by mail. Approximately two months before an election, voters receive a ballot package by post. They can return their completed ballots by mail or in person to their local municipality. Wikipedia+1
  • United Kingdom: Postal voting is available to all eligible voters upon request. Since 2001, voters have been able to apply for a postal vote without providing a reason. In the 2019 general election, over 8 million postal ballots were distributed. WikipediaWikipedia
  • Finland: Introduced postal voting in 2019 for eligible voters living abroad and those temporarily abroad during elections. Wikipedia
  • Greece: Announced plans to implement postal voting for the 2024 European Parliament elections, with intentions to extend it to national elections in 2027. Wikipedia

In the United States, the practice of mail-in voting varies by state. As of 2022, eight states—California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington—conduct all elections by mail. Additionally, 33 states and the District of Columbia allow postal voting under certain conditions, such as for voters who are ill, elderly, or living abroad. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to temporary expansions of mail-in voting options in some states. Wikipedia

Overall, the global trend indicates a growing acceptance and implementation of mail-in voting as a means to enhance voter accessibility and participation.

I did not check the wikipedia pages linked. I went to the one source outside of wiki.

“Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do.”

None of that is true. You can fact-check me, I did via ChatGPT and google. The States according to our constitution run the elections, not the federal government. Ever.

Chat GPT (in part):

Constitutional Framework

Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures the authority to prescribe the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives,” subject to alteration by Congress. This means that while states have the primary responsibility for conducting elections, Congress can intervene to regulate federal elections. However, this does not imply that states are mere agents of the federal government. Instead, they possess significant autonomy in election administration. Spectrum Local News+2ABC News+2

Legal Precedents

Legal scholars and state officials strongly reject the notion that states are obligated to follow presidential directives in counting and tabulating votes. For instance, Arizona’s Clean Elections Commission outlines that early ballots are counted only after verifying the voter’s identity through signature matching, a process managed at the state and county levels. The Wall Street Journal Citizens Clean Elections Commission…

He has renewed his attack on our elections following his meeting with Putin; you know the saint of free and fair elections…

Between google and chat GPT; I can confirm that Russia allows a form of mail-in voting. It’s apparently not open to all Russian citizens.

President Stinky can’t help but piss all over the Constitution and his Republican cult leaders are 100 percent in favor of it. I hate it here.
