    I thought this deserved its own thread.

    Trump floats idea of delaying the November election, a power granted to Congress, as he ramps up attacks on voting by mail

    So it begins.

    Trump’s pattern is to float these insane ideas, wait a bit for people to be distracted by the cumulative effect of his hourly outrages, and then implement them when he thinks there isn’t enough effective push-back to matter. That’s what happened on his threat to invade American cities.

    But with the election being three months away, he can’t wait as long as he usually does.

    (We’ll see how his lack of actual power to do this gets in the way. I have no idea, at this point, if that’s going to matter.)

    These are very dark days, folks.

    Really good video. I agreed with all of it.

    Good point about the (lame-assed) attempt at plausible deniability. It’s quite similar to how he ended his calls to ban all Muslims — which was straight out of Hitler’s playbook. To paraphrase, “Until we can figure out what the hell is going on here!”

    Again, until Trump decides when, where, how, etc. etc.

    Yep. He’s a fascist. And he’s quite literally pitting Americans against each other, in a new civil war . . . in the middle of a pandemic which he’s completely botched.

    Oh, and the 2nd Quarter GDP contracted by 33%.

    In my view, no sane person with a working moral compass could possibly vote for him. Of course, I thought that in 2016 as well.

    Things are starting to take shape.

    Something the media has overlooked: Trump is basically telegraphing where and how he’ll steal the election — via the Postal Service. Dems and the Media have basically fallen into the trap of saying there is no proof of vote-by-mail fraud, which is true. Until now. They’re forgetting who’s in charge of the Post Office at the moment.

    With Trump, pretty much every tweet, every interview, every press conference is a confession or a projection. When he says this or that is rigged, he’s confessing.

    (I knew this would be a problem as soon as Trump installed one of his donors as head of the Postal Service):

    With Trump donor in charge, Postal Service may shut locations and cut service before Election Day Democrats raise concerns that new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a major Trump donor, may undermine mail-in voting

    Have you heard more about this, WV? Your senator is raising alarm bells.
