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.”

      Sorry that I don’t feel like being detained for nothing in an country with basically no rule of law left. To fight against a government that’s not mine.

      To be honest though, I do pass judgment because the time to stand up against the US government was decades ago. I fear it’s already way too late now.

        Cowards find it easy to pass judgement when their skin isn’t in the game.

          You’re absolutely right, it isn’t my skin in the game! Because it’s not my country! Weird how I’m not protesting huh? Isn’t the American psyche that they can do everything themselves, and better? Go at it!

          Just don’t complain you can’t protest because everyone lives paycheck to paycheck. US citizens have systematically voted all their rights away since the 80’s and now the chickens have come home to roost,. And it’s too late to do anything.
