    trump is now expanding his attack on democracy by targeting Nevada's June 9 primary.Can America wait until November to remove this malignant tumor from office? And its ridiculous that trump has to tag departments on his tweet when he could call them. Shows how pointless his threats truly are...

    Since trump can't do is maggot campaign rallies he has been getting his campaign team to arrange political trips under the guise of "normal" presidential meetings. So trump has a trip to Michigan to visit a Ford plant that has been manufacturing ventilators. So trump gins up controversy involving Michigan to attracct more attention and appeal to his base, oblivious to the flooding that is also attacking the people of Michigan...

    Again, I ask: if vote by mail is such a corrupt idea, why do we not see reports of fraud and stolen elections in Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Utah?

    We know why: because it isn't a real threat.

    Old white people have been voting by mail (absentee) for years. He's just laying the groundwork to (1) suppress the total # of votes (because he will lose in any majority-turn-out election), and (2) dispute any result he doesn't like.

    Dude is just operating as he's always operated, saying any thing and breaking any rule that he wants. I am honestly starting to think that if he gets "reelected" somehow and if what used to be the GOP keeps the Senate, any hope of democracy is done in this country. It's too blatant now to avoid saying that normally crazy thing.

    Saying the quiet part aloud:

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/30/america-voting-rights-vote-by-mail-republicans

    Both Republicans and Democrats have long utilized mail-in voting, and voters on both ends of the political spectrum overwhelmingly favor making it easier to do so in the election. But Trump’s opposition appears based on a thinly veiled political calculus: the fewer Americans who vote, the better the political prospects for the Republican party.

    They had things, levels of voting, that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” the president said in March, dismissing Democratic efforts to expand mail-in voting.

    If Trump loses the election, I think he will call the results invalid and declare himself the winner. There is nothing Trump wouldn’t do to stay in office. He’s surrounding himself with people who will follow his every order. He’s trying to load up the courts with his own judges. He’s got his rabid supporters in Congress. Trump surrounds himself with family members and henchmen that have his back no matter what.

    Trump wants to be a dictator. Trump wants complete and total power. Trump is dangerous to our freedom.

    So... more people are questioning trump's twitter threats. Its unfortunate that (1) his supporters swallow all the crap he puts out there and (2) there is no real recourse...

    Diamond Joe vs Donald Jack Trump.
    Hot Rod vs Tweetie.
    Liberty vs incompetence.
    Steak vs sizzle.

    LOL... so much lying and deflection in one brief clip. First, trump makes the claim of illegality, yet trump's press secretary deflects reporters to "the campaign". Second, there is no evidence of voter fraud not in MI, or related to mail in votes. Third, trump spends numerous weekend in his resort in FL so claiming he "as president" is too busy to vote in FL is specious, especially since FL offers early voting.

    Where do they get these folks?

    She actually paged through her folder and had to read her answer to the initial question and then she had to read it again talk about a bubble head.

    I can understand having a cheat sheet or even a typed page but she has a freaking binder with talking points, at least Spicer and Sanders came up with stuff on the fly.

    She is going to be eaten alive.
