Lip swallowing lies.

unconfuse them.

It doesn’t matter what Alaska does. Kushner is going to trade Alaska to Russia for the peace prize. Done deal.

Over the last 10 years Trump has used the media to push propaganda. This is a great example. When they have refused he empowered his friends like the Ellisons to buy the media. Journalists like @camanpour.bsky.social have been critical of this. @jaketapper.bsky.social not so much. It’s a crisis.

The state supreme court already ruled on this. But what do court rulings mean to Blanche?

Ah yes we’re doing the pre-crime thing again

Blanche will go to prison

Don't you understand? Republican voters are *idiots*! They can't even read the words "(Registered Republican) Incumbent" on the ballot! You have to do everything you can to accommodate these moronic, illiterate, mouth-breathing chucklefucks! –The administration's entire argument.

Seldom have I seen an AG so in over his head.

So Blanche would have been a full on democracy hero in 2000 with Florida's illegal butterfly ballots?

More cosplay journalism. Cronkite would be embarrassed, the bar has not been lowered… its been removed completely.

Article 1 says “Congress” can intervene, not “Cabinet”, not “President”, not “Executive Branch.” Hope Bash asked about this.

The ballot clearly identifies one candidate as the Republican incumbent. Is he suggesting that people in Alaska are stupid, or unable to read?

How else would a condescending thug come across? 😏

it's so weird that he has a statute in his back pocket that he claims as being implicated here but he won't say in what way

Trump told his to do it....he is a TOADIE.......end of story.

Unfortunately, he's probably right. Most Americans don't know what incumbent means. Are they stupid? No, just poorly educated. Regardless, he's FOS

Clear logical reasoning has been bred out of the GOP reasoning with them is futile task.

They’re trying to create confusion in Alaska so they can claim “confusion.”

Sleazy, just like Trump.

BASH: What's the crime? "Don't worry - we'll fill that in later."

I’m pretty sure MAGA did the exact same thing a few years ago, I believe in Florida (don’t quote me). Details are fuzzy so I don’t remember the race

Bull cookies

If they are confused, that’s not a crime and no concern for DOJ, anyway.

Confusion is a crime now in USA? 😲

Why does Trump’s consigliere assert the VRA prohibits candidates with identical names on the same ballot? I don’t think the Voter Registration Act says anything about candidates with the same name appearing on a ballot. Am I wrong?

It will be a day of celebration when the lights of life are extinguished for Todd Blanche, his wife Dr. Kristine Blanche, and their entire family.

The crime is being committed by the Trump administration. Today, yesterday, and always. The biggest criminal enterprise in the history of the world.

How do you spell election interference? Todd Blanche

You can’t convict a rumor…

Guess they think Alaskan voters are stupid and can’t tell the difference between Dan J and Dan S incumbent

Got to be no standing on this, right?

This is some next level duplicity/Newspeak from Blanche.

Why do these interviews always seem to be tRUMP Cronies re-auditioning to keep their jobs?

Yes, yes they did. Alaska's got this handled. Done and done. apnews.com/article/dan-...

The crime is that our Pinnochio AG doesn't like reality.

He is a completely ignorant ass kisser.

Fishing is popular in Alaska

Only this batch of miscreants could develop a strategy based on calling your voters idiots.

He said we as Alaskan, shut the fuck up Todd you're heads still on your neck making noises Wait till the trials...

Somebody ask Blanche or Vance or any other Administration official: If Trump is so concerned about Election integrity, then why did Trump not make these same type of comments prior to the 2024 Election? Why is Trump still complaining about 2020? Seems that only when Trump loses, he claims"rigged"!

Blanche is a scumbag

Blanche is insulting Alaskans, judging them as stupid as trump & his inability to read.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🎯

No state has a statute against candidates having the same name as blanch inferred. If the intent was to confuse, the ballot is clearly marked as the incumbent candidate being incumbent. The vexatious litigant strikes again!

In the year of our Lord, 2000, the GOP established their position on this clearly: if voters are confused by the ballot, fuck you, that's your problem, we win.

The *other* Sullivan in that instance could claim the voters meant to vote for him and not the incumbent 🤪

And the majority of the Alaskan SC is REPUBLICAN! 4 out of 5 with the 5th being Independant.

Alaska just needs to rejoin Canada and have a normal life with free healthcare, etc.

Trump’s lawyer is working hard to steal this election

Not serious people.

So Alaskans are so dumb they can’t read a ballot? So you are going to choose for them? Ooof, keep talking mob guy.

Gotta ask yourself why trump is fighting so hard to rig elections in Alaska … is it to do with Selling out Alaska to russia ?

Well that is all pretty insulting to Alaskan voters .. Clearly difference is outlined on ballot .

If nothing else, it finally seems that Bash is getting some spine. Way overdue.

Alaska ballots are clearly marked showing the “Incumbent” Senator Dan Sullivan(R) and the other Dan Sullivan. And Dana Bash used to be a good reporter. A few times she giggled when interviewing 4’2” Todd Blanche this am. Softball questions. Nothing hit hard. THE ‘NEW CNN’? Infuriating. And WEAK.

And they somehow can easily spot an accent on the name Perez on a voter roll that is missing on the driver license.

There is only a "crime" if their guy loses.

He thinks Alaskan voters are too stupid to read. He wants his daddy to vote for them.

Dana Bask is a fucking crime! This airhead has no intellectual toolkit to grill and lizard like Blanche. Your posts Aaron have become nothing more a form of trainwreck-porn. I hope that influencer money you get will save your from the jackbooted thugs that will be knocking at your door soon.

He is far beyond John Mitchell's crimes

So, it’s only okay when Republicans do it? www.npr.org/2021/03/19/9...

They pulled that crap in Florida a couple of years ago with Jose Javier Rodriguez.

Yep todays DEPARTMENT OLIGARCHS JERKS !

the crooked smile

The whole problem with allowing Administration representatives to propagandize and lie on these shows is that, while Bash pushes back a little, she doesn't ever just call BS. even when confronted by their lies, people like Blanche just double down.

Pretty tough defending the indefensible. Blanche is a bad lawyer, and a horrible human being.

To me the main point here is that they're saying that their supporters are too stupid to know who they're voting for.

Once the Democrats take back the House, and possibly the Senate, they must concentrate on holding all of these people accountable. It may not result in impeachment, but at a minimum, public hearings must occur. 

It's a canard

Sure. They're also hoping to give weary Republicans a reason to bother to vote: *Those dirty dems tried to trick me!* But the bigger goal is to sow suspicion and distrust. They've been pretty good at that.

From a snake. Not like comparing a fox and coyote.

No fan of Dana Bash here, but this time she didn´t let go and kept hammering the same nail. 👏👏👏

It's like Jan 6, but instead of cousin-effing MAGAts leading the charge, it will be Blanche. Trump will keep this held up in the courts, adding to his bogus "rigged" narrative, the judge will say it's frivolous & unsubstantiated, but Trump will have gotten what he wanted: delay, & owning the libs.

trump's ag's only purpose is to protect trump

Maybe Musk could spend some of his millions on literacy programs for Alaskan voters. 😆

A “concept“ of a crime?

Alaskan are not STUPID as you Blanche they absolutely 💯 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

The only Alaskans who are confused are those who are just now finding out that their Senator is Dan Sullivan because he doesn’t do shit.

If one Sullivan is clearly identified as the Republican incumbent & the other is clearly unaffiliated, where's the confusion? Oh yeah, it's under the smoke that Blanche is blowing. Hey Alaska, the GOP thinks you can't read. Maybe they're not fit to represent you.

If "confusion" is a crime Trumpy will be spending many many years in prison - incidentally the 2000 Presidential election was swung by a very very confusing ballot in Palm Beach County😇

He loves hearing his own voice, doesn’t he?

Alaska can vote for Mary Peltola and leave the rest of rank voting part empty if allowed. Or they can rank Peltola 1st and anyone other than the Dans as 2nd 3rd. If the combined votes for the Dans is less than Peltola, DOJ has no case. If republicans block certification and the seating of Dems👇

The DOJ does not make the law. Moron.

This lawsuit is a desperate attempt to throw bullshit at the election. It will be tossed out.

He should be removed from office. Anyone should know you can’t file a lawsuit based upon it “could” be a crime. He should lose his license to practice

I couldn’t get passed “incumbinent” tbh

Oh yes, the age old crime of confusion.

They think it's a crime, because they've tried it in the past and it worked. www.nbcmiami.com/news/politic...

Nixons AG went to prison 🌈

The Department of Justice. Their job: Generally clearing up confusion.

Who is Blanche to say that an individual is confused about an election ballot? If you don’t know who you’re voting for you shouldn’t be voting.

Blanche is saying that Alaskans are just to simple to vote properly.

Oh boo hoo - this whole affair is pretty ridiculous but it’s not as of distraction and confusion aren’t the literal bread and butter of the GOP in every other context… if the tables were turned Trump and Blanche would be gloating and peeing their pants

There are two Allens, both quarterbacks, on the Buffalo Bills, and we don't seem to get THEM confused - crawl back under tRump's ass, Toady!

If they're not stealing it!

JustifiCAtion?!? We don’t need no stinkin’ justification

Not only is there no crime. The courts have already ruled on it! I mean. FFS!

MAGAts seem to, for some unfathomable reason.

Blanche’s face! 😆 comical

Dan S. v Dan J. If trump thinks Alaskans are too dumb to know the difference maybe Alaska should put their pictures next to their names like they do in very illiterate nations or color code them. trump is such a jackass as is Blanche.

Probably a cousin of his

This deceptive maneuver has already worked for them one time in Florida; why not try the same thing on the people of Alaska?

And that win was not challenged. Thought the ghost candidate didn't even have a campaign, it was totally made up. A complete fraud.

The scheme involved paying Alex Rodríguez to run against Democratic incumbent José Javier Rodríguez. The Republican challenger won by just 32 votes.

Possibly pulled votes away from a Dem Latino woman at the time.
