Trump Tweets

So in California, the Democrats, who fought like crazy to get all mail in only ballots, and succeeded, have just opened a voting booth in the most Democrat area in the State. They are trying to steal another election. It’s all rigged out there. These votes must not count. SCAM!

Governor @GavinNewsom of California won’t let restaurants, beaches and stores open, but he installs a voting booth system in a highly Democrat area (supposed to be mail in ballots only) because our great candidate, @MikeGarcia2020, is winning by a lot. CA25 Rigged Election!

Mike has my complete & total endorsement. We need him badly in Washington. A great fighter pilot & hero, & a brilliant Annapolis grad, Mike will never let you down. Mail in ballots, & check that they are counted!

Eugene Gu, MD tweet

Trump is a liar and a false accuser as usual. The “voting booth system” is a polling location at a soccer field in Lancaster and was actually requested by the Mayor of Lancaster, Rex Parris, who is...

*checks notes*

...a member of the Republican Party, dumbass.


Me, for clarity about the end of that tweet.

Yup, that was just Trump saying that legally cast votes by legal voters shouldn't be counted and accusing the Democrats of illegal action for agreeing to a reasonable and legal request by Republican.


To poke elsewhere...

Ho-hum, neo-Nazis worked to elect Republicans in 2018 election, and everyone yawns

Sounds about right, though an actual Nazi did manage to get on the ballet as a Republican, at last check.

I long for the day when Trump speaks/tweets and nobody pays any attention to him.

Do their job for them, and teach it to them so they will never forget: Vote Trump and every last one of them out of office in November. Then remove Kavanaugh from the SCOTUS for good measure.

Unless Kavanaugh does something impeachable, he will remain on the SC until he dies or retires.

...Which begs the question again, "What is impeachable behavior for Republicans?"

Clearly, brazen crime by Republicans in high places can and has been fairly consistently overlooked and intentionally hidden, with the side note that the MSM devotes immensely less time and resources to Republican misdeeds than they do to dramatically less serious Democratic misdeeds that are in similar veins.

You can bet he'll be there until he dies or chooses to retire. This is why it's so very important for Trump to be defeated and for RBG to hang on as long as she can.

Why would it matter where mail-in votes are cast? I'm missing something here. If it's "all mail in only" ballots, how can there be a voting booth?

Whoa, he doesn't say anything about the 2A. He's slipping.

One thing I'm slightly encouraged by: Even the most Republican of election directors seem to take some pride in keeping their elections clean. That's why Trump's voter-fraud investigation never amounted to anything. The secretaries of states told him to go piss up a rope, as far as I recall.

The rabid Repubs seem to think that a Democrat not opening a door of a state house is an unforgivable offence. So the same rules should apply to Kavanaugh. I think jaywalking or spitting in public would be sufficient.

Presidents and their families remain legal residents of wherever their private home is. Obama had a house in Chicago, Bush had his ranch in Texas and family compound in Maine, etc. Otherwise they'd have to vote and pay taxes in D.C.

That precedent only applies to presidents who are not stable geniuses. :p

Quite a number of people think he lied at his hearings. If that could be proven, it could be enough to force him out.

I'm among those who think he lied through his pearly whites like crazy. However, it isn't going to happen. As I said, any SC Justice would have to do something extremely outrageous before s/he'd be impeached.

The only SC Justice to be impeached was Samuel Chase in 1804 and he was acquitted. We're stuck with Kavanaugh.
 
The only hope I've got re Kavanaugh would be to reinstate the "Justices need 60 votes" thing that was waived to ram him and the other one through the Senate.

They may reinstate it but it won't be made retroactive. The ability of the Senate to change the rules so easily is what needs to change.

It's not exclusively vote by mail in California, to be clear about that.

In addition to his history of partisan perjury. With that said, given the conduct of the Republicans in Congress and the Senate, Democrats would fairly certainly need overwhelming control to get Kavanaugh removed.

Mask-Gate Is Here

Starting in mid-January, Mike Bowen, the VP of the biggest US manufacturer of N-95 masks, reached out repeatedly to the federal government offering to ramp up production to meet the need for a pandemic. They had large orders coming from other countries, and wanted to make the masks available domestically.

He was in regular touch with Rick Bright, the whistleblower who was recently ousted as vaccine director for his criticism of the untested treatment being pushed by Trump. Dr. Bright was trying to get someone to respond to Bowen, who repeatedly expressed concern about mask supplies not being sufficient to meet the need that was anticipated.

Steve Bannon was even a part of trying to get this going.

Instead, we got a completely absurd mess on that front, thanks to the Trump Administration.

Never fear, though, because the people they actually care about are doing well.

Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, America's Billionaires Survive and Prosper

Financially, they are doing remarkably well. According to the Institute for Policy Studies, between March 18 and April 28, as nearly 30 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits, the wealth of America’s 630 billionaires grew by nearly 14 percent. During April 2020 alone, their wealth increased by over $406 billion, bringing it to $3.4 trillion. According to estimates by Forbes, the 400 richest Americans now possess as much wealth as held by nearly two-thirds of American households combined.

Some of the super-rich have fared particularly well. Jeff Bezos (the wealthiest man in the world) saw his wealth soar between January 1 and early May 2020 to $142 billion―an increase of $27.5 billion. During that same period, Elon Musk’s wealth grew by $11.4 billion to $39 billion and the wealth of Steve Ballmer (ranking sixth in wealth) increased by $8 billion to $66.1 billion. The gains of Mark Zuckerberg (ranking third) were more modest, but his wealth did rise to $79.3 billion.

Although some billionaires lost money, this was not likely to put them out on the streets. The wealth of Bill Gates (ranking second) dropped from about $113 billion to $106 billion, while the wealth of Larry Ellison (ranking ninth) slipped from $58.8 billion to $58.7 billion.

In nicer news... I think that these Biden ads were pretty good.
 
Why did Trump flaunt all those anti-invisible enemy guidelines and then get "lava mad" that someone close to him was infected? Did he think that as God-Emperor he could simply decree that no one close to him contract Covid-19?

Also, I hope he and Pence catch Covid and get sick enough that Pelosi has to take the reins :halo: .

If she died now the Republicans wouldn’t allow a president so near to the end of his term to select a new SC......
