Given that most voter fraud has been perpetrated by Republicans it's entirely possible she voted for him while dead.

Just in-case you've never actually seen Joan Rivers, one of the funniest stand-ups of all time.

I never really paid attention to her because I only saw her on TV where she was (mostly) filtered. I looked up her standup after her death and saw just how funny she really was.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, but Joan Rivers was maybe the best female comic of all time

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

He knows cause he's the one that sent in the absentee ballot on her behalf.

If you want to decipher the truth from this 34 time convicted felon, all you have to do is know everything he says is a lie. Then, when he's blaming someone else for specifically doing something, it's projection and you 100% have something he is being truthful about himself doing.

It's nice to know that the media learned nothing from 2016 and are going to spend all their time and money fact checking the 10000 little lies trump tells every day that ultimately doesn't matter.

They learned they love ad revenue more than anything.

Which was nothing new to learn.

It may be a possibility....

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Multiple times, in multiple states!

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

It’s possible someone named Joan Rivers voted for him, but I highly doubt it was the famous comedian.

[-] billbasher@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Donald Trump does Donald Trump things what a surprise.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

To his cult it doesn't matter. It is MAGA truth now or just misinformation from the woke media. Move along. MAGAs love the Kool-aide.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Gotta say I wouldn't want the ghost of Joan Rivers after me.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah? What about Hannibal Lechter?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Brian Cox, Anthony Hopkins or Mads Mikkelsen?

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I assume he grabbed her by the pussy? Usually if they're already dead they let you grab them by the pussy. Doesn't matter if you are a celebrity or not. Now the voting part, that's the difficulty puppetry part. Might as well just pretend to be her.

[-] n0m4n@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Rivers would have voted for Fang, before Trump.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wtf was up with that article? Is the end about Taylor Swift?

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Donald Trump claimed that Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016, despite the comedian having died two years earlier.

The former US president and recently convicted felon was interviewed by Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh last November for a new book about his time hosting The Apprentice, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, which is set to be published on June 18.

In the book, Trump discusses Rivers, who won the second season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2009.

Trump also recalled Rivers’s reaction after he fired her daughter, Melissa, who competed on the same season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Asked his opinion of the pop superstar, Trump replied: “She’s got a great star quality.

When Setoodeh pointed out that Swift is no longer purely a country artist, Trump responded: “Garth Brooks is liberal.


The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Bad bot.

You need to watch your referents. Just because 2 or 3 parts of the story use "she," it doesn't mean all or any of them denote the same person.
