There is a local liquor store called Payless Liquor... Got a strong feeling that's who he is talking about
Yes
Well until they had to close up shop because he stole all their shoes.
If you go to Payless, ...
“Are you guys on MySpace, or…”
I switched to Spacebook
We get it, you're from space Australia
Ima super saiyan.
Well yeah. This guy took all the "free samples". Of course it closed down.
I’d hate to defend this chucklefuck, but Payless is the name for some Kroger grocery stores in Indiana.
There is a liquor store chain called Payless Liquor
If the old owner of Payless Liquors was still alive, he’d probably give free booze to this bozo for stealing ballots
Shitty thing done shittily. Still more worried about the ones who aren't incompetent clowns but good to know that whoever's supervising isn't completely blind.
He is full of shit, for sure. But let's say we take his claim at face value, that level of stupidity has no business in political power. So, lose-lose.
That is on par with most of political scandals and the defenses given, they are either clearly in on the fuckery, or so monumentally stupid that they were unaware of it happening around them or that it was illegal/immoral. There is no answer that gets them off the hook and provides confidence in their abilities.
It is weird that they were called samples. But he can't have been "trying to fight for our country" while simultaneously believing they were fake ballots, so, get jailed loser
Isn’t this the guy recorded on live video asking if they were real or fake, and after being assured they were real, waited until nobody was watching, looked around, then grabbed the two ballots and hid them, and was later filmed telling another guy that the ballots were off by two, and that he had them?
How exactly does that LIVE video footage match his story?
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. There's no way to reconcile what he's saying with the video evidence.
Several citizens were permitted to run “test” ballots through machines assigned to their county, including Savage, who was spotted on camera folding the ballots into his pocket while confirming with an election official that they were “absolutely, totally real ballots.” Although they weren’t official ballots, the ballots did not say “fake” or “sample” and were being tracked and counted by the state.
