CNN reports that voters in North Carolina received a notice to request an absentee ballot, adorned with Trump’s photograph and a political message.
Given the crisis facing the United States Postal Service before a presidential election, the last thing John Herter expected to receive in the mail Saturday was an absentee ballot request form with President Donald Trump’s face on it.
“Is this a joke?” Herter said his wife told him as she opened up the mailer to reveal a photo of Trump grinning underneath the words, “Are you going to let the Democrats silence you? Act now to stand with President Trump.”
Herter, of Lincoln County is among a group of voters in North Carolina to receive the mailer over the past few days after Trump said that he opposed crucial USPS funding because he doesn’t want to see it used for mail-in voting this November.
Voters were understandably confused. Trump said mail-in voting is bad, but absentee voting by mail is good.
More consequentially, this kind of electioneering must be illegal. It’s illegal to post campaign signs near a polling place. It must also be illegal to post political messages on official government communications.
Big Brother is Watching You and Seeing For Whom You Vote.

This SOB needs to go to prison NOW! This is pure un-American BS! The North Carolina election officials should all go to jail for allowing this to happen.
‘The New Times’ reported today that the Mueller report listed 140 different contacts between the Trump campaign, Wikileaks and Russia during the 2016 election. If this wasn’t collusion, what were they talking about? the price of vodka?
And caviar.
They were discussing “adoptions”. And I have a bridge to sell ya in Brooklyn!
Prison would be too good for Donald-Eek-Thinly-Skin-Trump.
A legal (Congress can change the law for his execution) military firing squad would be more appropriate and when that legal execution for the most dangerous traitor this country has ever dealt with takes place, they must legally strip him naked.
He must face the firing squad without a hood to hide behind. The shooters will be instructed by Congressional legislation to just wound him during the 1st and 2nd volleys and finish him off during the 3rd round.
This Congressionally legal execution must be televised by every major network and all other broadcasts put on hold so Trump’s legal execution is the only TRUE reality show available to watch during prime time across the country and around the world.
I have often said that if Bone Spurs Trump had gone to Viet Nam then we would not having all these discussions and destruction of the great country. The young soldiers in those days would have taken care of the situation. Does fratricide come to mind?
Released today, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee indicated “Senate Report Finds Manafort Passed Campaign Data to Russian Intelligence Officer.” They found many more connections between Team Trump & Russia as well. And yet, at the bottom of the article below, you will see that the GOP and Democrats are promoting vastly different conclusions.

My guess is that the GOP itself knew what was going on from the beginning and was complicit, rationalizing that it was just fine because Trump had said publicly “Russia if you’re listening…” –as if people would think there’s nothing wrong with treason when it occurs in plain sight.
Yes, virtually the entire GOP should be reminded they are not above the law –as if lawmakers do not already know this– and each should be required to face the consequences. (Dear G-d, pleeeeease bring on a blue wave so we can save our nation from all these traitors!)
. . . if he thinks he can shoot someone on Main Street in front of the American People, and get away with it, why wouldn’t he take a crap every day on the U. S. Constitution and think he has total impunity? . . . CBK
“U.S. Department of Education
Today, ED launched #CTEMission: CubeSat—a national challenge for students to build technical skills for careers in space & beyond. We invite high schools to bring space missions to students by designing/building CubeSat prototypes—in classrooms or at home”
Are the ed reformers in the US Department of Education aware that every public school in the country is frantically attempting to OPEN with little or no assistance from their federal or state government?
Is this what happens when you hire people who don’t support public schools to run “education”? 90% of students and families no longer exist?
Do they TRY to be completely irrelevant and of no practical use to anyone or do they just not have any familiarity with…. the United States? As it is. Not their ideological theory.
When historians look back on this the question will be “where was the government in all of this?”
No one knows. They’re AWOL.
Chiara: I have to agree with the Lincoln Project people who think that voters should trash ANYONE in Congress who has covered for Trump over these four years. Sigh . . . remember when we used to listen to Republicans talk, thinking they were genuine and that we might find some truth in their narratives? CBK
I do not know what the law allows, but I would be amazed if this had ever been done in a presidential election.
This should be against the law but I’m sure the GOP had the lawyers vet this and found some loophole to allow them to blend blatant partisan hackery with a supposedly non partisan public function (applying for an absentee ballot).
Next up Trump’s image and brand on the remaining USPS postal boxes, and a faked “forever stamp” enclosed in the propaganda.
Typical Trump move. Always walking on the thin edge of the line between legal & illegal with a “So sue me” attitude.
Since Trump survived impeachment, he no longer has anything to fear other than an honest vote count in November. He knows he is above the law. He can lie, cheat, steal, ignore the Constitution. No one can punish him but the voters.
There is no bottom to the depths of that dump’s depravity.
