Donald Trump

Who’d have thought it?



Also this would be interesting, in a dystopian horror movie sort of way:

I did, unfortunately

and hate being right in this case

Now that Covid cases have been rising for two weeks, death rates just beginning to ramp up and some states are starting to lock down again, Trump’s gamble of encouraging the country to open up looks to be spectacularly failing, and this will become much more apparent over the next fortnight.

This could start to have a real impact on his core support because it’s now those people who will be dying in their thousands directly because of his idiotic policy of sticking his head in the sand and pretending that it’s going away.

No doubt there will still be idiots who will support him to the end even if Covid kills family members but I suspect it will make a significant number of people not vote for him.

I honestly now think he’s fucked, and will be even more unhinged between now and the election, with him making hugely dangerous decisions that could potentially impact everyone in the world. I’ll probably be accused of being hyperbolic but it really doesn’t look good.

Yeah he really is fucked that the election isn't until November. If it was sooner he could possibly have lied his way through the mishandling of the pandemic as he has been, but the next month or so is going to be absolutely brutal for the US and even his most ardent supporters will waiver. He's going to have to go full "blame China", but even that won't work on most people as everyone can see that ever other country not called Brazil has handled it better.

Yep. Even us.

His last throw of the dice will be an attempt to suspend or cancel the election, by September he won’t give a fuck about the rule of law in any shape , it’s going to be a violent period in the history of the US

With the way they are (I believe) deliberately screwing up the COVID-19 response, I genuinely think this is being discussed as a potential strategy. With Barr as head of the DoJ, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they will try and cook up some b*llshit legal argument as to why they would be allowed to do this. You can already see them laying the ground work with there attempts to discredit mail-in ballots.

He votes by post as have all of his family

The problem with this is that a presidency runs for a fixed term with fixed dates. The date for the election is also set in stone and is the responsibility of each state to do it. If an individual state fails to run an election and nominate its college delegates then Congress can step in to sort it out.

So he would have to interfere with the states individually to block them, he could do that with the Red states but not the Blue - they would resist. And the default scenarios are he is no longer president at the end of his term unless the collage system produces a winner and Congress (Dem controlled) gets to step in to the college system in the event the system fails.

If it wasn't stacked against him or if Reps controlled Congress then 100% he would be looking at it but as it is I don't see how it would work.

Look at all those previous presidents who abused the system that Biden created by being heartless race bating bigots who rig the courts in their favour.

Wait..

It's almost like he could see the future

I’m not trying to avoid it, it’s just of no relevance to me. It’s like blaming Corbyn for Boris winning a landslide apart from the fact that the stories didn’t win the election whilst rigging the ballot, losing the popular vote and voter suppression.

Anyway, glad you want Biden to win. It makes me think that you’re not bat shit crazy.

Why don't we go all the way back to when Dem's were slave owners, whilst completely missing the mark AGAIN?

The current situation is absolutely nothing to do with history, it's about removing the most dangerous man on the planet from office.

LOL!!

Both of you arguing from a position of false equivalency!

Firstly, with the MSM playing the game of the Gov and deriding Corbyn, instead of being JOURNALISTS and offering equal platforms of criticism, we've arrived where we are for the UK.

How we got here always matters when we question the state of the country.

Secondly, pres #45 did not arrive in a vacuum.

How can anyone with a serious mind not think recent history has anything to do with the state of the US? Does no historical events create protests? Or demand for wage increases? Or better health care?

You're talking about the error of having this current president in office and wanting to remove him.

It has EVERYTHING to do with 'history' and the pathway that led to him being in office.

It seems like simple maths to me...
