Watching Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman return to work in the Senate reminded me today of all those professional republican voices who shout about ‘candidate quality’ when explaining GOP election losses.
Here’s the video as an audio/visual exclamation point about the irrelevance of “candidate quality.” WATCH (30 secs)
It’s the Envelopes, Stupid!
Nothing, not one single thing…. about candidates, debates, endorsements, media support, branding, imaging, leadership, effectiveness, policy, polling, communications, digital outreach, social media platforms, rallies or love of country matters in the 2024 election. None of it matters. The outcome of the 2024 presidential contest will be determined by ONLY ONE THING…. ….ENVELOPES!
Book sales, TV ads, legislative accomplishments, cultural wokeism, school choice, education policy, fiscal policy, foreign policy, debates, political experience, candidate qualifications, polls, rallies, crowd sizes, endorsements, not one single part of any of that matters in this electoral combat.
There is only one thing that matters,…. collecting the most envelopes.
Seriously, does lurch own a pair of pants free and clear?
Lol! Seriously.
You have Lurch confused with Uncle Fester.
Lurch Fester!
He’s sponsored by Carhartt.
Carhartt would be a yuge improvement over that grubby hoodie and shorts.
He looks like a college kid who just rolled out of bed, picked up yesterday’s clothes off the floor, put them on and headed to class.
He’s repulsive.
His mom wasn’t there to lay out some nice clothes for her baby boy.
Ol’ boy done left his hoodie at the hospital.
I bet he left that big lump on his neck at the hospital too.
Or socks.
I cringe … this is SO wrong!
Nothing better captures the ghoul and freak show that is our Senate than the return of Uncle Fester
Fetterman is a guy who never had to work and never progressed beyond a middle school mentality. His “working man” cosplay and ugly illegal alien wife is his FU to Dad who in his case is the ying to the harridan’s yang. Sucks to be him, it wont end well for him.
Crap like him “winning” is happening because the GOProstitutes want it that way. Ballot harvesting is not actually that hard but the issue, as discussed quite well above by numerous posters, is that MAGA’s harvested ballots wont be counted. Kemp/Raffensperger, Robin Vos in WI, and the execrable Maricopa County Board are the most obvious examples of why this is true, and from what I see they are all still where they were.
My apologies to all for the grumpiness today, I made the mistake of watching Jordan’s hearing today out of compassion for Bragg’s victims and forgot it meant having to watch Poopypants Nadler, Pencil Neck, and Representative Guammaycapsize
Meshulam, You get a full pass on the grumpiness……as you’re a braver soul than I for watching another dog and pony show with a few asses and snakes thrown in for good measure.
If only we could channel all of the wisdom we’ve learned from Sundance’s posts and CTH comments into one giant beam
of energy that could penetrate even the most brainwashed of the masses……but that’s wishful thinking.
So I keep moving forward, trying to change one mindset at a time with the truth. Nothing else. Just the truth.
I agree Meshulam .
I have been saying this on this site since the RNC began discussing their intentions to cheat / ballot harvest just like so called Democrats.
And for those who don’t quite get it yet ,we need to remind ourselves ,that not counting MAGA ballots is the same as erasing the MAGA votes.
They plan total MAGA Disenfranchisement brought to you by the same RNC who over the years looked the other way when places Like Philly had precincts with 125% voter turnout with 99% doing to the Democrat.
They would say over and over again there was no substantive voter fraud in our electoral process.
If our future is in the hands of the RNC this once great country is toast.
There is only one thing that matters,…. collecting the most envelopes.
Wow….super scary to think our elections are so false.
incorrect. the thing that matters is who controls the installation, and whether the people consent to be governed by it.
you will not beat the fascists at fascist games.
Right… so what can we DO about it. Why would Trump believe he has any hope of winning in 2024 with a nationwide election system that enables, easily and in multiple ways, massive election fraud.
Over 50% of Americans do not believe our elections are authentic, honest. That is a serious crisis.
1. WHERE and how are 10s of millions of ballots STORED for weeks on end b4 being counted?
2. WHO receives these mail-in ballots and then records their arrival and then SEPARATES the ballot from its identifying outer envelope? What is stored are unidentifiable ballots.
It’s SO EASY for political operatives to enter these storage rooms and replace all those actual ballots with fraud ballots. Just need one corrupt, nicely paid election staff worker to get the key or code to the storage room.
Shhhh … Dominion’s lawyers are listening.
Making us proud here in PA Senator Fetterman 🤮
I tried to warn anyone i talked to here in PA….but in the the end we had Very Dumb Dems….. and millions of harvested mail in ballots…. with no chain of custody or signature checks….. and you get Senator John Federman
you also had consent to be governed by illegitimate fascists.
Bet Federman and Biden get along great. The Dems want these incompetents. Easier to tell them what they are rxpected to do.
I have a long-time college friend who lives in PA whom I tried to educate, but she wouldn’t listen, said she would vote for Fetterman. Some people just can’t handle the truth! (credit Jack Nicholson)
Fat Lenin LaVey lost some serious weight. I wonder if his neck lump got stretch marks?
Sorry, but that made me laugh out loud!
Not sorry, and thanks!
Summit on American Democracy – get a load of this shitshow of speakers:
https://www.summit.electioninnovation.org/speakers
Oh…my….God.
Talk about a collection of frauds.
It’s the eyes, the window to the soul. They are all dead, cold eyes.
Proudly sponsored by the CCP and Volodymir Zee.
Lurch has returned and is wandering about the castle. You have been warned.
One of the best examples of vote fraud.
Free admission to Walter Reed’s successful residential programs, that’s why,
All the proof one should need, really.
Republicans are the one that passed ACT77 which was unconstitutional and allowed for mail-ballot Democrats are better at getting their base to use mail-ballots as LURCH had over a month to get an over 600,000 votes before election day. Also a friend of mine who was running for Congress in the 17th district won in Beaver County and Mastriano lost Beaver County because all the democrats that voted for my friend didn’t vote for Mastriano for governor and OZ won Beaver County
Back in the day. If you showed up to work without a care about how you looked. You pretty much got smoked on the spot.
It’s Envelopes ….and money.
In every election I read about buried towards the bottom of the story is some note that the Democrat candidate outspent the Republican candidate at least 5:1 and usually more like 10:1.
When one considers what the Left got because of the Fetterman victory along with one or two others like Warnock (all judicial and high level executive branch appointments) a few hundred million is peanuts–a Soros rounding error boosted with Mrs. Idiot Dem Donor donating 8000 times through the Left’s money laundering machine as James O’Keefe recently exposed. So now we know how foreign money illegally comes into our elections.
It’s the “Democrats want power (and already have the money)” part of the formula whose product is “there are trillions at stake” as oft repeated here.
Actually, perhaps GOD playing a hand, but they aren’t actually getting ANY of their Judicial appointments, and the reason why, echoes Musk comment about irony.
Diane Fienstien has long been braindead, but now she has gotten so bad that she had to step down from Judiciary.
She (her staff, of coarse) requested that a replacement be appointed.
However, the Judiciary committee needs to vote to agree to this, as its not proceedure.
If Repubs don’t vote for it, it doesn’t happen, and no Judicial confirmations happen, either.
Oh, the IRONY,…Perhaps such irony, with a taste of schedenfrude, is Gods signature?
It matters who control and rig the system.
I don’t know who said it, if elections mattered they would outlaw them.
But it seems to be true, as these clowns being voted in couldn’t possibly be winning these election cleanly but the media love them.
IIRC that was Mark Twain (Samuel Clements).
FYI Chicago voting machines are electronic, printed ballot is a QRC. That is than taken down to the Tabulator and inserted. How good are your reading of the QRC codes? Last Election had only one choice for my ward, for mayor.
Also the ballot had to be initialed before being inserted in the Tabulator.
Is that really him??
I’m sure that someone on the thread already mentioned this but I’ll throw it out there anyway.
The Leftists, the DemocRATS, Marxists and the Communists, infamous for playing word games, have successfully co-opted the word vote. As in they now refer to votes as ballots.
It’s ballots that are counted now. Not actual votes.
These people are inherently dangerous, sleezy, scumbags.
And that’s putting it kindly.
As for Uncle Fester Festerman,
(spelled wrong intentionally)
he’s represents nothing more than a two handed, double middle finger salute, directly in everyone’s face.
Damn straight ! Couldn’t put it better !
I liken it more to another thumb in the collective eye of sane people.
Note to self: contain your FURY and AANGER that LURCH has been released from the Insane Asylum wearing his “signature hoody” and sweats shorts to now come to represent the people of PA in the Senate. SPIT is the kindest word I have for this.
I don’t much like having the salt of the “envelopes” being rubbed, once again, into a very sore and still open wound. Have to give creds though, to the “envelope masters” who seem to know how to just keep on rubbing in the farce of LURCH being “selected.”
And I for one, am not spending my spiritual energy praying for this bloke. Not when he is a willing participant in this whole “GAME SHOW.”
Deliver us from EVIL,
Looks like someone who sleeps on the sidewalk in San Franshitsco. Hobo.
Can’t say which name fits more, Uncle Fester or Chester the Molester.
DC is moving beyond irrelevance and to emptiness. Eastwood said it plain empty suits, the whole of DC is empty suits.
Except they steal your money at gunpoint, are psychopathic megalomaniacs and they’re about to get us into a nuclear confrontation in their insane hubris.
Hardly “irrelevant”.
Please, DC payed employees, nothing more than distraction for fools who still think DC is irrelevant.
Washington DC is a movie people are watching.
Good to see Senator Blutarsky back at work…./s
It almost appears that they’ve removed Kuatto, the Neck Lump from Fetterman’s neck. Has it fully evolved? Is it now directing Martian aliens to begin a full invasion? Fetterman doesn’t know, that much is clear.
A repeat comment from an earlier thread, exploring what “Its ALL about the ENVELOPES!” means to me.
This is a fantasy, a thought experiment, an ANALOGY, expressly to clarify the role of ENVELOPES.
It is NOT an encouragement to DO anything.
A group of MAGA miscreants review the information from the cell phone tracking data of the 2000 mules, story.
They see that a non-profit forms, before an election, and rents a non descript building, in a major city where a tabulation center is located, they have one or several operations to funnel phantom voter ‘mailed out’ ballots TO this,..envelope stuffing operation.
They observe the operation as it is set up, covertly day and night, perhaps even sending in operatives undercover (salesman?) to get a peek inside, they check out security, etc.
The operation isn’t 24/7, the operators lock up and go home at night.
So, like a factory, one part of the operation funnels in the raw material; mailed out ballot envelopes, with blank ballots and MAIL IN (to the tabulation center) ENVELOPES,,which have the VOTERS IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, and a place to sign.
The actual operation is to open and discard the mail out envelope and ballot, and stuff a generic (by which I mean it has NO voter identifying info on it) ballot marked with the preferred candidates “bubbles” filled in.
It COULD even be pre-printed with the bubbles filled in.
They then bundle the ‘stuffed’ ballot ENVELOPES , which are then fed to the mules, who deliver them to drop boxes.
So, lets say our MAGA miscreants obtain entry to the building at night after the operators have gone home, without breaking anything to get in.
They find bundles of mail in to tabulation center envelopes, stuffed and sealed. They unbundle, unseal and unstuff (remove the ballot) and replace it with one with different MAGA candidates bubbles filled, and then reseal, rebundle and leave.
The next day the operators come to work, and distribute these bundles to the mules, that transport them to the drop boxes.
The MAGA miscreants committed trespass, perhaps vandalism, technically only removing ballots marked for Dem candidates(burglary?)…but if they were to get caught, any trial would expose EXACTLY what was going on at the ENVELOPE stuffing operation.
Point is, the envelopes were obtained illegally, signed illegally, and transported to the drop boxes, ILLEGALLY by the OPERATORS of the envelope stuffing operation (NOT the MAGA muscreants.
And, they would go into the Tabulation center, where the voter identification ON THE ENVELOPES would be compared with the voter roles, the sig ver process sham would give its o.k., and then the ENVELOPES having been the KEY, the ballots marked for MAGA candidates would be separated from the now discarded envelopes (their task of getting the ballots into the system accomplished) and the ballots would be counted.
All of the workers at the tabulation center that actually handle the ballots, are full time but temporary workers, hired up and trained in preparation for the election, and can not be assumed to be “in” on it (although as we have seen, in some cases some are).
Certainly, Supervisory personelle are, but even poll watcher observers are unlikely to “see” anything, other than perhaps sig ver setting being set at 10 percent.
What our enemy focus on, to pull off the cheat, are the ENVELOPES that are the KEY, to injecting phantom ballots into the count.
They have all sorts of ways of collecting them, when the election depts mail them out.
They have different ways of injecting them IN, after they fill out the ballots inside, or with ballots from a seperate ballot marking operation.
In Az, they had to insert their ENVELOPES IN to RUNBECK, because unlike other States, RUNBECK checks the voter identifying info on the ENVELOPE WITH the voter roles.
In other States its with mules, and in some cases they may just put the ballots in mail boxes.
Our enemy is focused on ENVELOPES, those mailed out by the election dept, that have voter identification info that is the key to getting the enclosed ballot, WHICH HAS NO VOTER IDENTIFYING INFO ON IT, injected into the system.
The envelopes are literally THE key, as my thought experiment illustrates, which is the ONLY reason I share it.
Dutch, thanks for highlighting, for those not familiar, what is occurring on the ground. Some here are not understanding and after reading this post, they should be able to share and discuss this with others.
Now, we need to locate those centers and make sure everyone knows what’s going on there.
DD, glad this fictional illustration clarifies how it works, and how crucial those envelopes are.
Once you locate the centers, there is the question of what to DO with that knowledge.
I love the fantasy of “turning” the operation, so they are working feaverishly to their detriment, but seriously.
IF you reported it to the Police or County Sheriff, would they DO anything?
No press would report it, either.
I am averse to arson,..and even if you did manage to somehow “shut down” the operation, they would just open up another,..
“There is only one thing that matters,…. collecting the most envelopes.”
Disagree.
The only thing that matters is printing the most ballots.
No, you are mistaken.
As I explained above, the ballots are if no value, unless/until they can be injected into the system, and that requires an ENVELOPE.
If candidate quality mattered, ChiCom Mitch & the Bushies would not send Karl Rove out to destroy the Chris McDaniels, Sean Parnell’s & the Eric Greitens’ of the conservative world.
Far & away better candidates than ChiCom Mitch, Pierre Delecto or Lisa Murkowski ever were.
WTF?!
They’re rubbing our faces in it with the likes of Biden, Harris, Fetterman, Buttigeig, Hobbs, Bragg, ad absurdum…the incompetent boobs “elected” in “Our Democracy” (emphasis on mock).
What an darn embarrassment. And listen to the lady who asks him how he feels- you can tell by her voice and inflection- she’s excited and happy to see him back….
WTF. Fetterman is a bum and they let him continue to be a bum. Meanwhile in NYC Schiff and Nadler continue their BS. Yes, yes, the same Schiff that McCarthy wasn’t going to let on any committees.
But Trump.
Democrats have no shame.
And conservatives have no courage.
He could be any one of the homeless, drug addicted mental cases shuffling from corner to corner in Washington, D.C. …
There is a specialized 8 week intensive residential speech therapy program at Walter Reed Medical Center.
People join the military to gain entry to the program.
There is generally a year waitlist, as they take less than 12 patients at a time.
Fetterman was likely admitted for apraxia as a primary diagnosis, with concomitant depression as the secondary.
Someone tipped him off to the program, and he was able to get a spot, free of charge soon after he was sworn in.
If he was a civilian, he would be denied admission.
Maybe his fraudulent “win” was baked in?
Notice how his speech is more intelligible
He uses a technique of linking words, as if you are singing and then consciously, removing the “tune”in the background.
Try it!
It requires concentration and discipline.
It is a technique, not automatic.
It is always effortful.
As a by product, any depression will diminish with his feeling of successful communication.
Psychological therapy is a component of the program.
How do I know?
My daughter trained in the clinic there!
He should really be transparent about his intervention to help others, but he likely won’t.
I can’t fault the guy for wanting to dress comfortably at home, and I’ve shown up for work and changed in the locker room plenty of times. If he showed up on the Senate floor dressed like this I’d feel differently. There are too many other reasons not to like this guy.
Then again, none of this matters.
As Sundance said, it’s about the envelopes.
So, why should we wait for a campaign to hire True the Vote?
Why don’t WE hire them & crowd fund it?
I’ve never seen a less enthusiastic junior Senator. You can tell he doesn’t want to be there.
I don’t want to hear any republican bullshit about senate decorum and seriousness. 86 this guy already. The entire dem party shits on the institution
This guy is a daily insurrection!
Uncle Fester is back!
He was mistaken for someone who worked on the grounds crew once he got inside.
I suspect that POTUS 45 will quietly ( if he hasn’t already ) reach out to Scott Pressler and a host of others to ensure we HARVEST the most ballots, literally we have a country to save……..
IMO Fetterman had water on the brain. That big lump on his neck is almost gone. He wasn’t depressed he was drowning in his own fluids so the doctors put in a permanent shunt to allow the fluid to drain away. No other explanation has been forthcoming. Tricky monkeys!
Yes! Outlaw vote by mail with few exceptions. You can’t out-mule the mule.
It’s who counts the envelopes. It’s who opens the envelopes. It’s who validates the signatures on the envelopes. It’s WHERE these envelopes are validated and counted.
Hundreds of thousands of undeliverable mailed out envelopes in Swing State (large counties) are returned to election boards where they can be collected and filled out by bad actors or mules.
Whistleblower, Jesse Morgan, Postal contractor, drove his trailer loaded with completed envelopes (ballots) from Bethpage NY to Lancaster PA. Dollars to Donuts those ballots ended up in large centralized tabulator centers—like the Wharf building in Delaware County PA.
Envelopes are moved to a centralized and strategically located election tabulation center in a large County where they can be stored (hidden) within the building until they are infused, if necessary, into the counting stream to turn the election.
Americans pretend to vote and politicians pretend to be elected
Well he certainly exemplifies a quality candidate!
I Guess there’s no dress code for the Senate! Or cognitive test! Another POX on our Country! Democrats are out to break every norm they can.
I like him better than Mitch. Just saying.
The largest useful idiot in the US Senate.
Thanks, Pennsylvania.
…and this is why I will not vote for anyone (for any office) again until the country as a whole gets serious about Voter Integrity. Until 2020 is corrected, punishment is administered, and the vote is secured it is nothing more than a “CLOWN SHOW” that I will not participate in. How many times have I heard the phrase: We gotta overpower their system. I call BS. Count me out!
Of course candidate quality matters.
The day Oz was nominated, I changed one of my taglines to “Congratulations, Senator Fetterman”. The people who protested that, it turns out, were wrong about most other races as well.
Complaining that Oz was “better” than Fetterman is really complaining about letting average people vote. That’s an argument I’m willing to listen to – but anyone who thought Oz could BEAT Fetterman doesn’t know much about the ordinary people who do the voting.
I don’t agree that the election comes down to who collects the most envelopes, it does play a big part but isn’t the whole story. I am still convinced the vote totals are being manipulated in the database, phantom votes are still being cast and the ballot boxes are being stuffed. We cannot have a fair election until nobody has the ability to manipulate the vote counts after the fact, ghost voters and ballot drop boxes are eliminated.
It’s not who votes that counts, what matters is who counts the votes.
LOOK at Maracopa County, our most recent, and clearest yet example of THEM “pulling out all the stops” because they HAD to prevent the Kari Lake slate of candidates from being elected.
We HAVE the “data”; WE know EXACTLY how they STOLE the election; its the old strategy of “Maximising the # of THEIR voters (turn out) while minimising the # of OUR voters (voter suppression) only with the focus on ENVELOPES instead of voters.
They injected 35,000 of THEIR envelopes, with phantom voter identifiers on the envelopes that would “match” voter id info in the voter rolls, while “jigging” with the machines ballot size, in order to suppress OUR envelopes that could get into the system.
There is NO evidence they changed vote totals.
So, obviously we need a massive program to educate OUR voters to vote on the first day possible, in order to avoid having a bogus vote in their name which then blocks their legitimate vote.
How many accounts have we heard along the lined of “I had “x” # of ballots arrive at my house, with names I didn’t even recognise, let alone for anyone that lived here. I just threw them in the trash!”
ARE YOU NUTS? The outer envelope is discarded, but the inner envelope is GOLD to THEM, and probably every dumpster diving homeless junkie in every major city knows its street value,..$5 each? 4 of them, they can get high, 40 of them they can go on a “bender” and so YES, they WILL dig them out of your trash and sell them to envelope collectors.
You know the (usually) old person who, as they walk thru the neighborhood, will pick up any litter they see, even hobbling across the street with their cane, and painfully leaning over to pick up a piece of stray paper?
WE need to be like that, and think of these stray phantom envelopes as litter.
Many talked about seeing piles of envelopes in trash cans at apartment complexes, next to mailboxes, or piled next to the mail box.
Our voters need to be FANATICAL about snatching up ANY stray envelopes we see, and SHREDDING them, to deprive the enemy of those key envelopes.
Jay Valentines fractal system for identifying phantom voters needs to be carried out in every state, from before early voting starts, and right ip through the completion of counting.
IF a envelope is mailed out, recovered by the fraudsters, stuffed and fed into the system, BUT the voter identification on the envelope Does not match the voter roll information, the envelope isn’t opened, and the bogus ballot isn’t counted; cause the lock was changed, and the key no longer fits.
Yes, we all have seen the hockey stick drawing of the red and blue lines, with the sudden jag up of Biden on election night.
However, that was a desperation move in 2020, when their algorythm was overwhelmed, and they were forced to extreme measures.
Again I point out, in 2022 in Maracopa, the only way they exploited the machines, was in jiggering with ballot size to disenfranchise as many of our voters, that (because they were hung up on insisting on voting on election day) made it easy for them.
And, even with all of that disenfranchisement of OUR voters, and injecting 35,000 envelopes into the system, they only managed a 17,000 vote margin, in the end.
As with most everything in life, computers (machines) just make it easier to do what can be done the old analog way; computers just make it “easier” and more “efficient”.
Computers enable them to “get around” signiture verification, and mail in ballots enable them to get around photo I.D. requirement, and 30 day voting enables them to know HOW MANY bogus ballots they need to inject into the system on election day (or “find” AFTER election day) but its really just an updated version of old fadhioned ballot stuffing, using ENVELOPES that have voter identifiers that match voter identifiers on the voter rolls, that makes it all possible.
MAXIMISE the # of envelopes with OUR ballots inside, while minimising the # with “their” ballots inside, thats the goal.
Scooping up EVERY envelope that obviously does NOT correspond with a ‘legitimate’ voter and DESTROYING it, is ONE vital part of the operation.
Changing the “locks” by challenging phantom voters at the county recorders offices is another.
Understanding these operations can focus PRIMARILY on the BIG cities in every State, because THATS where the enemy focuses THEIR energies.
Its not about voters, its only partly about ballots, ..
ITS ABOUT ENVELOPES.
Will run for President in 2024 and win all the Blue States. He will be an upgrade from our current President.
Remember when dems were all in a knot about gravitas…? It takes a memory to learn.
It’s time for this pathetic contretemps to end. The man suffered a medical disaster – a bolt out of the blue. But, perhaps like Mitch, the man (and his handlers) is in denial. That’s wrong. Wrong for his state, and especially(!!) wrong for him.
You didn’t expect it to happen and you didn’t deserve it. But it DID. You turned the card over and it was a Joker. Sux. But, there is a right way to play a hand, and a wrong way …
There are many other things he can still do for his State in the time remaining to him. This is not one of them anymore. Sorry.
Unfortunately, people who have had strokes usually die, equally without warning, from another one. So, now is the time to “empty your bucket list” before the bucket comes for you. It’s okay. Thank you for your service, but your service is finished. Leave the stage with your dignity intact: don’t let others take it from you.
this isn’t about Shrek, this is about who decide he would win. The Trump organization needs to figure out how to get more envelopes than whoever runs against him. It isn’t about policy or direction. If Trump wins, it will be the leftist terrorists claiming it was stolen, and will not transition peacefully. If we do not win, we will never win again, they will have figured out the formula, not to mention funding crap candidates to set up the national elections so they can cheat to win.
