Millions of people voted illegally
Is it true?
No more true or false than Hillary Clinton’s claim that Trump is a puppet of Putin and the KGB. If HRC can make absurd claims like that, why can’t Trump?
But this tweet is brilliant because it sets up Trump presenting to Congress a federal “fair elections” law which requires voters to present valid photo ID for all elections. Maybe Steve Bannon was behind it?
We can only hope that unlike cuckservatives who let the MSM and the liberals ride roughshod over them, Trump is going to fix things.

“But this tweet is brilliant because…”
Yep. That’s what I thought. It also frames the recount in terms of illegal immigration. And the more they argue that it’s not true the more attention they give to it.

Lion, please post on this Times article about NYC diners declining:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/nyregion/diners-new-york-city.html
NYC was one of the few places with still a decent amount of diners around. Outside NYC there aren’t many diners around, just crummy fake diner chains like Denny’s.

Diners: the food is really bad, and if you’re under the age of 60 you’re likely to be the youngest person in the restaurant.

Agreed. The food is always that horrible Sysco crap. It’s overpriced and the coffee is equally bad. I used to marvel at the sheer length of the menu: tons of choices, all of which are mediocre (who…WHO orders the fish?).

One nice thing about the article is that it contrasts “coffee shop” (i.e., diner) with “coffee house” (hipster/student/gig-economy hangout). People outside of NYC seem not to recognize the distinction.
Anthony

I recognize a distinction between diners and coffee shops, which seems to escape you. Just because food is served doesn’t mean it’s a diner. Denny’s for example, wasn’t a diner. There’s a diner scene in one of the films Lion covered, Desperately Seeking Susan.

But I agree with the other comments. Diners really were great in the past, but at some point in the last twenty years most of the ones in New York closed and the remaining hold-outs turned to crap and might as well have closed too. There may still be a few decent diners in the deep outer boroughs and the suburbs. But in the center of the city, if you eat at a diner you are pretty much guaranteed a depressing atmosphere and bad food. Its too bad.

He lost the popular vote only because Gary Johnson stole some of his base. Without him 100% of those Libertarian and Trucon voters would have realized the genius of Trump and voted for him.
That he hasn’t blamed Johnson for the popular vote is a sign of Trump’s great humility and wisdom.

“He lost the popular vote only because Gary Johnson stole some of his base. ”
You’re just making it up. That’s not how pro-LP voters work. You don’t realize that the non-LP voters vote for deadlock unless they get attacked.The reality of US politics is the pro-libertarians have controlled the center for the last few elections. They’re strong with youth and the military. They’re a cultural group across all parties. Attacking Libertarians is as politically stupid as attacking Jews. They’re not big enough so you can win the l election just with them. But they can sure make sure you lose the election.
The Libertarian Poll Data workgroup is way ahead of everyone and has real data. https://www.facebook.com/groups/736882696414329/ They were predicting a Trump electoral landslide and Johnson at 3%-4%.
Clinton lost the DEM libertarian voters by attacking Libertarians. These were also her GOTV people. They voted for deadlock and generally no one for Prez, AND didn’t GOTV so a lot of Blacks stayed home–no ride. She really screwed herself, but that’s the Left for you.
Trump said nice things about Libertarians and GOP libertarians saw him as more or at least as progressive as Clinton. Again they voted for deadlock and against Clinton attacking libertarians. They went big for him in any close state.
Many GOP voters in CA stayed home because what’s the point? Remove CA and Clinton’s popular vote is basically gone.
Libertarians gave Trump the election and crushed Clinton. They know it. He knows it. She’s in denial.

Blaming Johnson accomplishes nothing. For the same reason Clinton’s team isn’t blaming Stein for her defeat when they can point the finger at “fake news” and Russian subterfuge.
By raising the issue of illegal voting Trump is making a case for voter ID laws. If we had voter ID laws a non-citizen terrorist like Arcan Cetin wouldn’t have been allowed to vote three times, and in fact he wouldn’t have committed a terrorist act at all if we’d deported him for voting illegally.

Unions are the lifeblood of the Democrat’s GOTV machine.
But I suppose it is sensible for him to not antagonize Libertarians. Those who were reluctant to vote for him in 2016 could well end up in his 2020 column if he plays nice with Johnson.

“Is it true?”
Here’s what I don’t get:
Whenever I go out to grab a beer, I need to show my ID. It’s inconvenient, but after awhile you get used to it. It’s part of life in America.
So why should it be easier and more convenient to vote than to buy a beer? Frankly, I’d rather have 19 year olds buy beer and act irresponsibly, than have the possibility of voter fraud run amok.
If you’re too stupid and lazy to bring your ID to the voting booth, then good, I don’t want you voting!
The Democrats have waged jihad on voter ID laws. Of course they have something to hide. If they’re going to strike doubt into the integrity of voting in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, then it’s only right that an even more onerous one be brought on California.
And Democrats made it their explicit policy to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants because they believed illegals would vote Democratic. Why should I believe they didn’t see fit to grant a short cut and let illegals vote anyway?

Hermes
November 28, 2016 at 12:32 AM
Sid, here’s the problem. In most states you had Voter ID cards absolutely free until a few years ago. But then the DEMS started this Orwellian integrated ID thing after 9/11 so now you need to show State ID that costs a lot of time to get plus to $100 when all is done in many cases. Hell, it cost me over $400 to get all my paperwork together–certified copies, pay an ID lapse fee, pay various petty fines, etc. That’s a big cost for poor DEM voters, a week of pay, out of the question for those on welfare. So they suddenly can’t vote.
It’s a hidden poll tax. The DEMS don’t like to put it that way, because that would mean they would have to attack their cherished ID program. The GOPe sure as hell won’t put it that way, and mumble about immigration instead.

I know this is obvious, but securing the electorate is just as important as securing the borders – partly to wrest control again of non-PC issues and move the centre ground back to the right. Trump needs to introduce policies such as voter ID as a priority. And it helps that the majority of people of all ethnicities find ID cards perfectly acceptable (at least that’s what I suspect is true). Videos like this need to be used in a campaign to overcome the rhetoric that the left will throw at voter ID.

I don’t remember much coverage here of the incredible Project Veritas tapes proving voter fraud, voter intimidation, illegal campaign coordination/collusion, and numerous other felonies which reached straight to the top of the Democrat party. Without massive Democrat voter fraud Trump would have won the popular vote and five other states as well like Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and likely his home state.

The Philosopher
November 28, 2016 at 3:55 AM
First of all, the whole mandate idea is stupid. It’s only relevant if someone wins with an overwhelming majority. Popular vote only matters in discussions of whether we should keep the electoral college.
Second, even if the mandate mattered, the vast majority of voters just vote on party lines anyway. In this election in particular a lot of votes for one candidate were actually against the other one. Even the voters who actually were pro-Trump may agree with some of his stances but not some others. I find the mandate idea ridiculous. Obviously he should pursue the platform he ran on and was elected on, unless he gains some new information that genuinely changes his views.
I doubt there is anywhere near as much vote fraud as he claims. But citizens as a whole need to be able to trust our elections. Fair elections should be something everyone can agree on, but even that has become partisan. How can anyone care so much about voter ID and not care about proprietary electronic voting machines without paper trails? Why can’t we agree gerrymandering is bad? I can’t respect anyone who supports any form of cheating in elections, including suppression of voting rights or free speech.

It was a ridiculous tweet because now Trump has himself called the legitimacy of the results into question. The idea that millions of illegals somehow get organized and off their asses to vote when 40% of the regular population of the country can’t even be bothered is prima facie absurd anyway, and even if true made no real difference to the results in California or New York, the places that kind of fraud would be most likely. Voter IDs and voter fraud are actually themselves silly cuckservative themes that the Republicans use to pussyfoot around the demographic changes happening to the country. Of course the popular vote favors Dems, and it is just going to get worse, because we keep importing millions of legal immigrants who vote Dem, and older white people are dying faster than they can be replaced.
Peter Akuleyev

It is estimated that up to 11% of non citizen residents vote. Considering that about 40% of citizens vote, I don’t find the non-citizen estimate unbelievable on it’s face.
Otis the Sweaty
November 28, 2016 at 9:21 AM
11%, even if true, gets you to 2 million. A lot of those are probably illegal Chinese and Russians who overwhelmingly support Trump, cancelling out the illegal Iranians, Pakistanis and Arabs who voted for Hillary. I doubt a significant number of illegal Latinos voted, or even knew there was an election.
Peter Akuleyev

It jeopardizes nothing because everyone knows, including the Dems and Trump, that all the vote fraud overwhelmingly goes to the Dems. Any vote fraud uncovered will expand Trump’s win.
Andrew E.
November 28, 2016 at 11:35 AM
Two problems with your post. First, the percentage of non-voting citizens signifies nothing about illegals’ incentive to vote, because the latter see a direct connection between Dem candidates and continued welfare. Second, that Clinton would have carried California and NY regardless of vote fraud is irrelevant, because it’s the popular totals that the Dems are leaning on to question Trump’s legitimacy. So absent vote fraud, the Dems lose their meme.v
