There is no truth to the rumor that Donald J. Trump wearing an apron while dispensing french fries at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant in Pennsylvania was part of his preparation for a new career move should he lose tonight [Sunday, October 20, 2024. Photo by Doug Mills/AP.]

As the voters stream to the polls today, as workers at precincts around the country welcome voters to cast their ballots, as state and county election officials prepare for the counting that will take place, and as lawyers prepare for the inevitable fights in the days to come, it is incumbent on us at EW to shoot down rumors of conspiracies flying around on this momentous day.

So let’s get right to it.

There is no truth to the rumor that the staff at Mar-a-Lago has put plastic sheeting over the walls, to make cleaning up any thrown pasta easier. If anyone tells you that the custodial staff is worried about Trump throwing his dinner around once results start coming in, do not believe them.

There is no truth to the rumor that JD Vance has prepared a concession speech filled with remorse for the things he said about Kamala Harris during the campaign, and there is absolutely no truth whatsoever that Peter Thiel is preparing to have JD Vance disappeared for his failure to win.

There is no truth to the rumor that Lara Trump is planning to move to Saudi Arabia should Harris/Walz win.

There is no truth to the rumor that Fox News has a contingency plan to have an intern shut down the power to the FOX studios and take them off the air on election night if the results come in putting Harris over the top.

There is no truth to the rumor that Ivanka and Jared are giving the Saudi’s back the money they were given to “invest” back in 2020.

There is no truth to the rumor that Elon Musk is shorting DJT stock.

There is no truth to the rumor that Mike Pence has a bottle of champagne on ice for he and Mother to share this evening, should Trump/Vance lose.

There is no truth to the rumor that Alito and Thomas are so despondent at the mere thought of Trump losing that their doctors are worried about them succumbing to heart attacks in the next 72 hours.

There is no truth to the rumor that Bill Barr is preparing a memo for Kamala Harris, laying out the rationale for her naming him as her new AG should Trump lose.

There is no truth to the rumor that Liz Cheney has practicing her sincerity in anticipation of making a call later this evening to Donald Trump, offering her solemn condolences at Trump’s loss, and absolutely no truth whatsoever that her practice sessions are not going well because she can’t get through two sentences without laughing.

There is no truth to the rumor that Gavin Newsom is planning a call to Donald Trump Junior and Kimberly Guilfoyle, offering condolences on the occasion of the loss of Trump/Vance.

There is no truth to the rumor that Ted Cruz already has purchased a new home in Cancun, and absolutely no truth whatsoever that in a gesture of bipartisanship, Colin Allred has already generously agreed to bring pizza and empty boxes to help him pack.

There is no truth to the rumor that Mitt Romney has laid in numerous kegs of beer for his watch party tonight at the Romney family home, and absolutely no truth whatsoever that Mitt’s sister niece Ronna McDaniel is planning to resume using “Romney” in her name again.

There is no truth to the rumor that Trump’s staffers are secretly preparing to call in sick this evening, rather than attend any watch parties or “victory” rallies, so that they can prepare to enter witness protection programs.

THERE IS NO TRUTH TO ANY OF THESE THINGS.

There is also a rumor that the members of Putin’s election interference unit are reeling in terror at the mere thought that Harris/Walz may win, resulting in an all-expenses paid one way trip to Ukraine for the entire group. This rumor we have been unable to debunk or verify.

If you have heard other rumors that need to be shut down, please add them in the comments.

    There is no truth to the rumor that Jack Smith has his go-bag packed, has checked in on-line, and is tucking his passport into his jacket pocket.

  4. vigetnovus says:

    I mean I haven’t heard any of these things. I assume this is kinda snark, but are these rumors seriously going around? Sorry, my sarcasm meter doesn’t always work right.

      • vigetnovus says:

        I thought so, sorry. But there have been some sort of Harris-centric rumors flying around the last couple of days that have been debunked. So, I don’t totally dismiss anything.

        Sorry, I’m kinda dense..

        Boy howdy, do we ever.. great stuff Peterr

  5. Peterr says:

    Southeast Missouri has been slammed with rain over the last 36 hours, resulting in flash floods. This has not stopped MAGA folks from screaming about conspiracy theories. From KSDK in St. Louis:

    Many of the routes leading to the polling site at Brookdale Farms, at 8004 Twin River Rd., were blocked due to flooding. If voters were supposed to vote there and are blocked by the flood waters, officials are asking them to go to the Administration Building instead at 729 Maple St. Hillsboro, MO 63050.

    The Brookdale Farms polling site will remain open for people who can reach the site without needing to drive through flooding. . . .

    The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is working to make sure people can reach a polling location safely despite flooding in the area Tuesday.

    In a Facebook post, the sheriff’s office said Twin River Road near Highway W was flooded and impassible starting just before 7 a.m. As flood conditions worsened, the sheriff’s office advised people to use the Administration Building site instead of driving in dangerous conditions.

    “Voters have yelled at Deputies on flash flood assignments suggesting that they are intentionally suppressing votes,” the post said. “Nothing could be further from the truth. We are trying to keep everyone updated on road closures so you can go around and vote. Simply ask the deputy for an alternate route if we don’t have it posted.”

    There is no truth to the notion that a stealth stalker roamed my neighborhood, ripping out sore loser signs.

    No, to the contrary, all told, it took me 45 minutes to walk back and forth and to vote today. I saw 12 Harris/Walz signs. And zip, zero, nada sore loser signs. I did see one house with 2 American flags. Maybe too afraid to put the loser sign out? And 1 house with a 2 x 2 sign that just said VOTE. Good advice.

    Everyone was very pleasant and upbeat. I feel good. There was absolutely no line, so no waiting. Actual voting took about 5 minutes. There were 4 other people already in their booths. But I was the 1st one finished. I was ready. I’ve been waiting for this day for 8 years. Not much longer now…

    • Krisy Gosney says:

      We were scared to put up our Harris Walz sign. We’re in the San Fernando Valley, Ca. There are no signs around us. But a little further out there are only Harris signs. We thought our sign would antagonize some people but the reaction has been only positive, like we’re representing them too. A neighbor said she wanted to put her Harris sign out but was afraid. For the last few nights I’ve been illuminating the sign with solar lights.

      • P J Evans says:

        Northwest valley here, and I’ve seen few signs for the presidential election, either way. Did see a car with a Donnie/couch flag the other morning, and a few vehicles with stickers, but it’s pretty much quiet.
        (I saw a sign a couple of months ago: Ravi Rab for governor. That perpetual loser keeps aiming higher.

  7. JonathanW says:

    Good laughs this morning on a stressful day. I especially like the line about Ronna Romney McDaniel. I believe, however, that she is Mitt’s niece not sister.

  8. Just Some Guy says:

    Great post! Let’s keep batting down the rumors.

    However one thing that is absolutely true: it took me a two hour wait in line before I could vote this morning because the poll ID machines kept rebooting for my precinct (no problems with the other two precincts at my polling place, which is very strange). Apparently it is a systemic glitch across the entire county — y’know, only the largest one in the state!

    My favorite part of this SNAFU has been the totally vapid cover-your-ass response from Ashley Tinius, director of communications for the Jefferson County County Clerk’s Office, in the Courier-Journal’s coverage:

    https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/05/2024-election-day-live-updates-from-voters-polls-in-kentucky/76050809007/

    “There’s no, absolutely no truth to the fact that they don’t work because they are working,” Tinius said. “They’re just running slower than we would like to see.”

    Pretty sure the fact that the machines constantly had to be rebooted means they weren’t working properly!

    The County Clerk’s Office also apparently had no plans for notifying voters of potential delays as it wasn’t until well after local news media reported on the problems that the office started returning phone calls. What a clusterfuck.

      • Just Some Guy says:

        LOL, I see what you did there. Sadly the County Clerk here is a Mitch protégé who has been in office about as long as he has. Time for Bobbie to butt out.

        I’m especially appalled at her spokespeople essentially blaming poll workers for the problems today. Poor training and miscommunication is an executive error, Bobbie!

    • ToldainDarkwater says:

      I think he was correct to describe them as “working slowly”. “not working” translates to “I can’t vote” and/or “It will produce incorrect totals”. He very much needs to not say that.

      • Just Some Guy says:

        First off, Ashley is a she.

        Second off, where do you get off saying that that is the correct thing to say? If a computer has to be rebooted every two minutes IT AIN’T WORKING.

        Were you late to work today because you had to wait many hours to vote? What about all of the people who I saw walk in, notice the huge line, and turn right around and leave without (obviously) voting?

  9. boatgeek says:

    Well, /obviously/ none of those are true. For one thing, staff at MAL wouldn’t use plastic sheeting. They’d use nothing but the finest 50-count “Egyptian” cotton sheets. And I have it on good authority that Mike and Mother don’t drink anything stronger than ginger ale. Even that’s a bit out there for them.

    Thank you for the laughs!

    • dannyboy says:

      Thanks for the laugh.

      Only Trump would believe that FIFTY COUNT Egyption Cotton Sheets are the Best, Primo cotton sheets.

      Of course, the reality is that Egyptian cotton sheets can come in a range of thread counts, typically from 200 to 800. The best thread count for Egyptian cotton is 300–400.

      He’s so retrograde!

    There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Kamala Harris will feature on the track “And I Know How” for the equally false debut Hilary Clinton polka album “Lock Him Up”

  13. Rayne says:

    Absolutely the truth:

    I received a campaign call last night at 8:30 pm featuring a recorded message from Lara Trump, RNC chair, who pleaded with me to get out and vote or they would lose.

    First call from a Trumper on which I didn’t use my Zenith spam call zapper. I was too busy laughing my ass off at the sound of blonde desperation bleeding across the phone into my living room.

    Beg, baby, all you want, piss away beaucoup bucks on robo calls, but this vote is not for your team.

    • boatgeek says:

      What kind of absolute shitshow of a voter contact list do they have that the Republican Party is calling you? Like they should only be calling solid Republicans who are marginal voters. I’ve gotta believe that there’s enough info out there to assure them that you are neither.

      • Rayne says:

        LOL my spouse identifies as an independent and votes both sides of the aisle. He leans into libertarianism. Clearly I didn’t marry him for his politics +30 years ago.

        Absolutely true: “Eric” no last name given, called from the RNC at 9:20 am this morning and left a similarly whiney message to Lara’s, begging me to vote “or we will lose.”

        Oh honey, I will not be the loser.

        • Rayne says:

          I am still snickering about this. Imagine your wife is the RNC chair, you have to work for her to save Daddy’s ass, and you can’t even give your full name because you might distract from the message.

          Eric the Loser Son. *smh*

        • boatgeek says:

          OK, the contact makes slightly more sense, especially if they said they were leaving a message for your husband. The message makes none at all–“Vote or we’re going to lose” is a message for the hardcore MAGA crowd and not for persuadable independents/libertarians.

          I would guess that the person named “Eric” who called is not the second failson*, but rather some volunteer named Eric. There are lots of us around.

          * How many failsons can one person have? Inquiring minds want to know.

          November 5, 2024 at 1:50 pm

          If it’s not Eric Trump, why give a first name at all when calling on behalf of the RNC? Why wouldn’t it be Eric the Failson if his spouse left a message less than 12 hours earlier?

          I’ll try to figure out how to pull the recording and share it off my machine.

          But now I have YET ANOTHER pleading robo call message from Lara Trump-RNC left at 2:00 pm. So whiney! Why can’t you guys buy my vote like that beluga whale-wannabe Felon Musk?

        • Peterr says:

          Rayne, if the phone rings later this afternoon, put your drink down before you answer, so that when the voice says “Hi, this is Don . . .” you don’t spill it.

        • Rayne says:

          Oh definitely. I need my drink hand free to press the big gray button on my Zenith ZEP100 EZ Hang-Up device.

          Ope, gotta’ run, phone ringing again!

          November 5, 2024 at 2:29 pm

          It’s been a while since I phone banked, but last time I did, they recommended that we say something like “I’m [first name] with the ____ campaign, and I’m calling…” In retrospect, it’s probably the failiest failson, but it /could/ be a volunteer named Eric. Poor bastard either way. A single tear rolls slowly down my cheek to the sound of the world’s tiniest violin.

          Again, messaging problems though. If you’re calling people who might be turned off by your last name, then the “We’re going to lose!” is the wrong message. If “We’re going to lose!” is going to be motivating, so is the Trump name. Though it’s not exactly a surprise the RNC is running an amateur hour job on account of being run by an amateur.

  14. wetzel-rhymes-with says:

    Clever to say it is untrue these are all rumors. It’s hard to know how to handle non-public information and still be journalistic. That is a good solution. I think most of these anecdotes are salient and relevant to the present moment. Thanks for the confirmation!

    There’s no truth to the rumor that the backing trio MSNBC has hired to give us afternoon election day coverage – Chris Jansing, Andrea Mitchell, and Katy Tur – has been signed to play another trio from Macbeth, opening at the Folger Library in December.

    • earlofhuntingdon says:

      Individually, their usual coverage is among the least interesting or balanced on MSNBC. Collectively, it’s toil and trouble.

      • Peterr says:

        Katy Tur is very good on Trump campaign-related pieces, because of her experience as the 2016 MSNBC reporter on the Trump beat.

        She and other women at MSNBC have a strong habit of deferring to Andrea Mitchell, which lessens their ability to do a good job. Andrea was a real trailblazer, but in many ways is past her prime.

        (And why they have brought Chris Matthews out of mothballs is beyond me. Yes, he’s a Pennsylvania guy, but still . . .)

        • Matt___B says:

          I found Katy’s softball interview of Eric Trump the day after the Butler assassination attempt to be really smarmy. Access journalism at its finest.

          Andrea is tiresome to watch but she’s going back to foreign policy beat reporting after (thankfully) retiring from her anchor desk.

          Chris J. is part of their mainstream horse-race crew – nothing more need be said in that regard…

    MAGAssholes.

    • Peterr says:

      In my polling place, every so often one of the “check in” election workers would cry out “Hey, we’ve got a first time voter here!” and the whole room would burst out in cheers.

      Never seen that before, but it put a smile on *everyone’s* face.

      (It was the busiest I’ve ever seen, too. Not a huge line, but I was told it has been very full and very steady since the doors opened at 6am.)

          Just put my ballot in the box! Sure feels good after waiting 8 years! DC is insane today! Many, many street closures. Lots of riot fencing all over the Hill, even at the Treasury, but esp at the Naval Observatory. Stores have boarded up windows with signs saying they are still open (even UPS). Not a parking space to be found! Parking tickets galore, though — I guess that how DC will cover their bill. Harris is hosting election night at her Howard U office (they gave her an office suite, as an alum), so ALL the streets around Howard are closed (G St to W St, Florida to Michigan). We’ll see what tomorrow brings. I’m hoping for the best.

      • earlofhuntingdon says:

        Giuliani’s conduct seems both intentional and straight-up contempt, as well as a fraud on the court. Sanctions should include a warrant and jail time. Needless to say, messing with a bankruptcy court is a federal beef. If his lawyers helped him, they’re in a heap of trouble, too.

    I heard that the remaining 11 indicted false electors in Arizona, facing a trial date in 2026, along with Rudy Guiliani and Mark Meadows have all cast their vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in hopes of leniency in sentencing when they are finally convicted, and they are wearing their, “I Voted” stickers proudly around their homes and when they go shopping.

  37. P-villain says:

    No truth to the rumor that JD Vance has been face-down on his couch since late last night, or that Mark Robinson hired Hulk Hogan to tear off Robinson’s clothes at his final rally yesterday.

  38. Peterr says:

    There is no truth to the rumor that the Harris/Walz campaign is planning on following up tonight’s event at Howard University with a press conference on Thursday at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

      There’s no truth to the rumor that Four Seasons Total Landscaping is where Rudy has stashed his stuff

    There’s no truth to the fact that Don Trump Jr Rumbled this last night:

    “If I can do what I’ve been doing for the last few months just getting crapped on by everyone all over the country…you can wait in line.”

    I love the image!

    There is no truth to the rumor

    Alito getting a fake foreign title from a party-girl-turned-trad fake aristocrat is about as good a summation of the cultural seriousness of reactionary Catholicism as you can get [“Above the Law” link]

    Sam Alito Got Knighted…
    Just Like The Founding Fathers EXPLICITLY MADE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
    It turns out Sam Alito hates the Constitution as much as you thought he did.
    Joe Patrice October 31, 2024

    Which quotes “The Intelligencer”:

    It turns out the last time Donald Trump was president, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, author of the [2022] Dobbs decision setting women’s health care back a few centuries, added a knighthood to his own résumé, pledging an oath to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George. The knighthood, bestowed in 2017, wasn’t widely reported at the time, but the order’s website was updated in July [2024] with Alito’s investiture on the front page.

    Trump committing election interference by spreading lies about cheating in Philly.

    He’ll do anything to stay out of prison.

  45. Badger Robert says:

    I think its been confirmed that in Georgia that if a voter votes for Harris/Walz the machine will automatically switch the vote to the Republican ticket. Its sure to work 100% of the time.

  46. Peterr says:

    There is no truth to the rumor that it is a mere coincidence that Netanyahu fired his less-than-bloodthirsty-enough minister of defense on the day of the US presidential election.

      They’d need to install a pissoir, with the related plumbing, as they’d have to do for the former guy.
