For months we've known that if Donald Trump falls behind in the election his campaign will say that it's due to fraud. Well, he currently appears to be losing, so the "cry fraud" playbook is in full effect.
The only problem is, they have nothing to back up their claims.
Former Florida attorney general and current Trump advisor Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News on Thursday to spread the fraud narrative. But surprisingly, the normally Trump-friendly hosts pushed back on her claims, asking for proof.
Bondi didn't stand a chance.
"For every vote that came in late, that was postmarked late, yes, after November four, on November fourth, that discounts every legal vote that came in," Bondi said.
"That means all the good residents who are all supporting us in Pennsylvania, their votes don't count by these fake ballots that are coming in late, and back to the observation, they are not letting us watch the process," she added.
Co-host Steve Doocy wouldn't let the fake ballot claim go unchallenged.
"Pam, did you just say fake ballots?" Doocy asked.
"There could be, that's the problem," Bondi replied.
To be fair, "there could be" is the most nebulous answer one could ever give. So Doocy asked for proof.
"Have you heard stories of, you know, ballots that are fake and, if so, just tell us what you know," Doocy asked.
Bondi had zero evidence of any fake ballots so she changed the subject by mentioning the debunked story about dumped military ballots.
"Well, we know that ballots have been dumped. There were ballots that were found early on," Bondi said. "We have heard people were receiving ballots that were dead, you know, the thing that's happening."
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt chimed in asking if there were any ballots found with postmarks after November third and Bondi admitted that there weren't any.
"You know, we talked about that last night," Bondi said, "and there are good people working in that room. We don't want them to lose their jobs for coming forward and talking to us so that we don't know but, Ainsley, why won't they let us watch? It's our legal right to watch."
Bondi's final claim that Republicans haven't been able to watch the counting process is shaky at best. Republicans have been able to watch ballot counting from a distance of 20 feet. This morning, a lower court in Philadelphia lessened the distance to six feet.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
