...but the Political Kayfabe Continues
Ask the Groypers what opportunities for themselves that THEY see in America's Future. I suspect it will look much likes the graves of the patriots buried in St. Paul's Cemetery in Baltimore...

If my memory serves me correctly me correctly and I’m certain that it does: WASN'T IT SHAW WHO SAID
“DONALD TRUMP WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT”
IM PRETTY SURE THAT IT WAS HER! DO I NEED SOME FACT CHECKERS? NO I DO NOT BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT IT WAS HER!
You think that, under Turd-2, Elvis and democracy have Left the building?
I assume this makes you very happy?
No, that happened after 45's 1st term.
I know that made you very happy!
Your mind reading returned incorrect information.

Did you notice that the Communist Mayor of New York DID NOT have an American Flag in his office!
You didn't celebrate Joe Biden's "victory"?
I didn't celebrate the genuine victory of Joe Biden because it meant democracy had ended. I celebrated because it meant democracy was saved. But it turned out only temporarily. Unfortunately.
The Progressive Democrats are anti American and on the side of evil, especially the one known as David D.
ELVIS WAS A REPUBLICAN.
Yeah, you couldn't mail in the cheat.
I've never mailed a ballot. Are you saying that me simply voting is cheating? But mail in ballots are safe and secure and not a source of cheating.
Time Magazine: Trump Claims Mail-In Voting Is ‘Corrupt.’ But Research Indicates Fraud Is Very, Very Rare. ...despite Trump’s criticisms, states have numerous safeguards in place to protect against fraud in mail-in voting, and research indicates that instances of such fraud are exceedingly rare.
Research published by the Brookings Institute in November found that cases of mail-in voting fraud account for merely 0.000043% of all ballots cast by mail, equivalent to roughly four out of every 10 million.
The research focused on four of the five most recent general elections: those in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. To make its calculations, Brookings drew on a Heritage Foundation database of election fraud cases that “ended in a finding that the individual engaged in wrongdoing,” identifying cases in which people were charged with fraud related to mail-in voting. 3/21/2026.
lol!
In 2023 polling on voting behavior during the 2020 election, the Heartland institute/Rasmussen Reports found that, of the 1,085 individuals they polled, "17% of mail-in voters said they voted 'in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident.' Seventeen percent of mail-in voters also admitted to signing a 'ballot or ballot envelope on behalf of a friend or family member.' ... Further, 10% of all respondents — not just those who said they voted by mail — claimed that they know 'a friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance who has admitted … that he or she cast a mail-in ballot in 2020 in a state other than his or her state of permanent residence.' Eight percent of all respondents said 'a friend, family member, or organization, such as a political party' offered them 'pay' or a 'reward' for agreeing to vote in the 2020 election."[3]

Via the g00gle AI...
This argument uses a common deceptive tactic in political messaging: taking real numbers from a deeply flawed poll and using them out of context to misrepresent normal behavior as a "confession of fraud." [1, 2]
The figures cited come from a [December 2023 Heartland Institute / Rasmussen Reports poll](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/12/trump-rasmussen-poll-2020-election-fraud/).
Political scientists, data analysts, and election experts widely panned this specific poll because the questions were phrased ambiguously to conflate routine, lawful actions with illegal voting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
A rigorous breakdown of the facts shows how these polling results collapse under objective scrutiny.
👉1. The "Signing for Family" Deception (17%).
The poll asked if respondents signed a ballot or envelope "on behalf of a friend or family member". [1]
The Reality: The question completely ignored the difference between assisting a voter and forging a vote. [1, 2]
The Context: Millions of Americans legally assist family members—such as elderly parents, disabled relatives, or spouses—with their mail-in paperwork. Many states explicitly allow a person to sign an envelope as a witness or help an illiterate or disabled relative fill out their ballot. [1, 2]
The Flaw: By framing legal family assistance as "voter fraud," the poll manufactured a scandalous headline out of normal household cooperation. [1, 2]
👉2. The "Permanent Resident" Misunderstanding (17%).
The poll claimed 17% of mail-in voters cast a ballot in a state where they were "no longer a permanent resident." [6]
The Reality: This relies entirely on the respondent's personal, untrained definition of "permanent resident," which does not align with legal voting residency.
The Context: Under federal and state laws, individuals can legally vote via absentee ballot in a state even if they do not currently reside there permanently. This applies heavily to active-duty military personnel, out-of-state college students, and Americans living abroad. [7, 8]
The Flaw: An out-of-state college student might answer "no" to being a permanent resident of their home state, yet casting an absentee ballot there is entirely legal. The poll treated a common legal exemption as a crime.
👉3. The "Hearsay" and "Financial Offer" Claims (10% and 8%).
The commenter notes that 10% of people "know someone" who voted in another state, and 8% claimed they were "offered pay" to vote. [3]
The Reality: "Knowing someone" who claims to have broken a law is anecdotal hearsay, not empirical data or proof of systemic fraud. [9]
The Context: The claim that 8% of voters (which would equal roughly 12 million Americans nationwide) were offered cash by political parties or groups to vote is mathematically and logistically absurd. No political party has the billions of dollars required to run a mass-bribery scheme of that scale, nor has a single shred of physical evidence of mass payout networks ever been uncovered.
The Flaw: In polling, a small percentage of respondents will always misinterpret a question, lie, or answer jokingly (a known phenomenon called the "lizardman constant"). Relying on an unverified 8% sample response to claim widespread bribery defies basic logistics.
👉4. What Actual, Audited Data Shows.
Polling measures opinions and self-reporting, which can be easily manipulated by how questions are asked. Actual data regarding mail-in voting is pulled from official government audits, signature tracking, and criminal investigations. [1, 2, 7, 10, 11]
Continued from above...
⚖️The actual rate of mail-in ballot fraud is remarkably low [12]
The Brennan Center for Justice analyzed multiple cycles and found the overall incident rate for voter fraud (including mail-in) is between 0.0003% and 0.0025%.
The Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank) maintains a comprehensive database tracking election fraud. Their database shows that over a 20-year period, there were only 143 criminal convictions related to absentee ballots nationwide—out of hundreds of millions of votes cast. [13]
When actual audits and courts look at hard data instead of a confusingly worded poll, the actual fraud rate for mail-in voting sits at roughly 0.0025%.

So what? That doesn't mean he would support donald trump.
🥸Me: Did elvis presley ever say anything about illegal immigration?
🤖g00gle AI: No, Elvis Presley never made any public statements or expressed personal opinions regarding illegal immigration. The modern, highly polarized political debate over illegal immigration did not exist in the same format during his lifetime, and Elvis generally avoided taking public stances on specific government policies.
However, illegal immigration is deeply intertwined with Elvis's life and legacy in two surprising ways...
1. His Manager Was an Undocumented Immigrant: The most direct connection Elvis had to illegal immigration was through his famously controlling manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker.The Secret: Parker's real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk, a Dutch citizen who entered the United States illegally by jumping ship in 1929. He spent his entire life in fear of being discovered and deported.
The Impact on Elvis: Because Parker lacked a passport and legal U.S. status, he could not leave the country without risking being barred from re-entry. As a result, Parker repeatedly turned down massive international offers, preventing Elvis from ever touring Europe, Asia, or Australia. Elvis died having only performed outside the U.S. a few times in Canada, which did not require a passport at the time.
2. The 1950s Mexican Radio Controversy: While Elvis never spoke about immigration, he was once at the center of a major international controversy involving Mexico.The Rumor: In the late 1950s, a Mexican gossip columnist fabricated a quote claiming Elvis said, "I'd rather kiss three Negro women than one Mexican woman."
The Fallout: The quote caused massive outrage in Mexico, leading to radio boycotts, record burnings, and riots outside movie theaters showing his films.Elvis's Response: Elvis was deeply hurt by the rumor and released a formal statement to clear his name, emphasizing that he had never made the comment and possessed a deep respect for Mexican culture and people. Decades later, his estate worked with BMG Mexico to release special compilation albums celebrating his massive popularity south of the border.
🥸Me: Did Elvis Presley ever say anything about his taxes being too high and that he thought richer people (in general) paid too much in taxes?
🤖g00gle AI: No, Elvis Presley never publicly complained about his taxes being too high, nor did he ever state that rich people paid too much in taxes. In fact, Elvis famously held the exact opposite view, believing that paying exceptionally high taxes was a patriotic privilege and a way to thank the country that allowed him to escape childhood poverty.
His actual actions and perspective on taxes highlight a fascinating history:
>>The "Patriotic Duty" Perspective -- Throughout Elvis’s career, the United States maintained a highly progressive tax system, with top marginal income tax brackets hovering around 70% to 90%. Accountants and financial advisors frequently begged Elvis to utilize legal offshore accounts and tax loopholes to shelter his millions. Elvis consistently rejected their advice, famously stating that paying his taxes was the patriotic thing to do to give back to America.
Historical documents curated by Graceland show that in 1962, Elvis earned roughly $1.67 million from films and music and paid out over $800,000 in income taxes—approaching a 50% effective total tax rate.
>>Overpaying to Protect His Manager. While Elvis was naturally generous and patriotic, there was a hidden financial reason he never argued with the IRS: his manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker. Because Parker was an undocumented immigrant living in fear of deportation, he wanted absolutely zero government scrutiny on their finances. Reports indicate that Parker actively encouraged Elvis to willingly overpay his taxes so the IRS would never have a reason to audit them. In 1973, Elvis was famously recorded as one of the single top individual taxpayers in the country.
Ray: Did you notice that the Communist Mayor of New York DID NOT have an American Flag in his office!
"There is no documented evidence that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani explicitly refuses to display an American flag in his office" (g00gle AI).
Also, Zohran Mamdani is not a communist.
