U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.
“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”
Who the fuck cares what Putin thinks about anything?
Other dictators. They care more about each other than their own people.
Right? In a way, though, i do kinda care: if Putin says it is bad, it’s probably good.
HEY TRUMP, PUTIN SAYS RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
When you think it’s the onion, but it’s real life instead
We don’t give a fuck what Putin thinks. He’s the example of what not to do.
The US declared on Friday that they were now allied with Russia and the response from the media was that Trump appeared “weak”. We can’t even acknowledge reality.
And what do the people want?
Political figures have forgotten that they are supposed to represent all of their constituents.
What a fucking demented weakling.
Good for him, I’m glad he has such a supportive daddy.
We don’ care. Show us the Epstein files. We know you wont because you know what you have done. All these women are not lying. I doubt any of them are.
Who gives an actual fuck about how Putin thinks the US ought to do things?
Putin also thinks that it’s okay to jail your opponents in an election. I bet Trump doesn’t mind that idea either.
Just Trump. It’s always just Trump.
The US government obviously does.
Trump and the usa clearly.
Oh! Well, if Putler says it, I guess it’s right, then.
Trump is such a bitch.
My question is why the fuck would Trump and Putin be talking about elections during a negotiation for peace for a country being attacked who isn’t even present.
Because Trump can’t stay on one subject for more than about 30 seconds. He was probably rambling while Putin nodded along.
Why would Putin get a red carpet treatment from the US in the first place? Putin and Trump announced to the world they are now allies.
You know Putin, the king of honest elections…
Yeah, Putin is a paragon of freedom, justice and integrety in a morally bankrupt world
sadly there are people here on lemmy who say that unironically
You don’t win elections by a consistent 98.6% without doing something right!
Postal voting isn’t a secret ballot so there is concern wherever people aren’t entitled to a private residence of their own. However the accessibility and the presence of paper ballots for recounts (which reduces conflict and increases trust) is such a larger social insurance.
Its obvious why free countries embrace mail in ballots especially in a heavily rural country like the US.
Secret ballots are really important. There should be an effort into making in person voting more accessible and ending postal voting imo. Not american though, but i know my country historically had a very big problem of people being coerced to vote for certain candidates. The vote now is secret, spreaded all around the country and public transportation is free on voting days, which are on weekends.
I thought they were there to discuss the Ukraine War? How did they get to mail in ballots?
Also, why the fuck would the US care what Putin thinks of how the US elections are run?
Have you watched even two minutes of Trump trying to speak on any topic?

Yet Trump been in office and you criticize him like he been there for four years already
In a paltry 6 months, he’s done far more than four years’ worth of damage to international relations and American citizens’ rights. That’s more than fair game for criticism, if you ask me.

Zero.
The number of people mentioning Biden before you. Also, the number of people that give two shits about Biden at this point in time. Like tRump, staying on topic requires a modicum of intelligence and focus.
By the way, illegals can be anything those making the laws says it is. It’s a slippery slope, and when reduced to fewer and fewer people determining what is and isn’t illegal, the faster it is subject to change. You should hope whatever in group(s) you belong to now never fall out of favor with those in charge.

Get the fuck out of here “illegals don’t have rights.” What kind of person says that other than a psycho?
Jesus, you bootlickers are sickos.

The constitution says they do. I don’t give a fuck about the laws in their country.
Illegals have constitutional rights. Everyone in the US has these rights. That’s kinda our thing.
He has been there for 4.5 years already?
That’s the joke. Right now OP has 57 downvotes and no upvote. What’s happening?
It does not read as a joke whatsoever.

Read their comment history. Either a troll, or genuinely a Make America God Awful cultist.
Looks genuine but then he must have forgotten a not and some more
and you criticize him like he has not been there for four years already
I am still surprised by the votes. The following comments were not there to reveal his opinions. Does everybody track users to know that they are pro Trump or was TDS enough of a signal?
I think “TDS” combined with the lack of “/s” was enough of a signal for the first few downvoters, and then it turned into dog piling.
You mean the guy who is all over the Epstein files because he raped teenagers?
Go on about how other people are deluded about the guy.
Putin seems to have more say in our elections than I do.
Also, why the fuck would the US care what Putin thinks of how the US elections are run?
Take a quick look at Putin/Russia’s electoral history for the past couple of decades, and maybe it’ll become more clear
Yeah, if putin is against it, that essentially means it’s a good idea.
Flight of ideas
They were discussing a lot of things, including business.
Two obituaries I can’t wait to read.
Kinda bummed nobody tried something. In a country with so many guns you think there would a single rebel in this death star of a country. Not even some rogue canadian.
Fucking traitor.
