We previously reported that Trump is in full panic mode. The last few polls didn’t just show him trailing Biden badly, they showed him trailing badly in states like Arizona, Michigan, and even Florida – yes, Florida, and not “just barely,” within stealing range, but over six percent. Republican pollsters at the Lincoln project have said that Biden needs to win Florida by eight points to win the crooked state (who would know better than Republicans?). That eight point victory is now realistic if the vote were held today.
Speaking of the Lincoln Project, one of its organizers has a warning for you before you dip below.
Today is going to be insane.

And we can dive into Trump’s desperate attempt to set up his own rigged victory by again railing against “mail-in ballots.”
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Yes, he is talking “delaying the election.” This is what fascists do. They delay norms during an emergency. The emergency never passes and emergency measures simply become the new reality. Trump won’t likely get away with delaying the election, but the fact that he wants to tells us everything. He certainly is experimenting in moving around “troops” to put down protests:
Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon, isn’t doing her job. She must clear out, and in some cases arrest, the Anarchists & Agitators in Portland. If she can’t do it, the Federal Government will do it for her. We will not be leaving until there is safety!

We move on to Trump’s terror of mail-in ballots, which are far harder to manipulate (so long as the post-office is running well, which it may not be.)
Paper mail-in ballots are more accurate and make it far less likely that a foreign power can operate to steal the election. Absentee ballots and mail-in ballots are the same thing.
Mail-In Voting is already proving to be a catastrophic disaster. Even testing areas are way off. The Dems talk of foreign influence in voting, but they know that Mail-In Voting is an easy way for foreign countries to enter the race. Even beyond that, there’s no accurate count!

The CRAZY thing about Trump saying we should delay the election is the US GDP fell by 32.9% in the 2nd quarter. The largest recorded drop in history.
And more than 1.43M people filed for unemployment benefits for the 1st time last week, rising for a 2nd week.

We will NOT be delaying the election. https://t.co/uYePdF4deD [6]

Exactly. If we “delay the election” some states will start talking about succeeding, at least until the United States regains some control of itself.
As someone said, “We’re supposed to open businesses and go to school but we can’t have the election?”
Trump is terrified that the virus flaring up again is going to shut the country down again – and we should, because that is our only way out until we have a vaccine. So now he’s trying to scare us by saying it won’t work. Don’t believe the rest of the world.
Major China Virus flare ups in many of the countries that the Fake News was touting as doing so well. Some of these countries are now a disaster. Lamestream Media doesn’t want to report this. Also, highly inaccurate numbers being reported by many other countries!!! @WSJ [8]

He wants to make us look less bad by pointing to other countries’ problems. This is just a distraction. He knows the nation isn’t looking at the rest of the world right now.
This has all happened before poor John Lewis’s funeral even starts, an event in which there will be three ex-presidents and not one current one. He has more important things to do, like tweet his ass off. There will be many more this morning and we’ll update.

Peace, y’all
