Trump suggests delaying 2020 Election
I'm sure that there's somebody out there that has the stats. It's important to know that legally Trump has absolutely no say in this whatsoever. This would require the changing of law. It would have to go through the House. Congress is the one that sets the date for the election. And I highly doubt that any Democrats are going to vote in favor of doing this. I don't even think it will get to a vote. What are your thoughts on this?

It's also strange because in his tweet about it, he says, with universal mailing voting, not absentee voting, which is good, 2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history, it will be a great embarrassment to the USA delay the election until people can properly, securely and safely vote. What is interesting to me about this is that how is absentee voting good? But mailing voting is not when they are essentially the same thing

And the thing that is just fascinating and horrifying and hilarious to me is that when you look just even at these tweets or any statements, I often feel like how I felt when I taught a summer and composition, like the introductory composition course to freshman's in College, when I had to spend so much time explaining why, though they put words on the page, what they were saying didn't mean anything and what was just completely not based, in fact at all. And why that is a problem

It's the way he stirs up people's emotions or the way he knows how to pull out unquote trigger people. It's something really dangerous address or the power that the President has over people's emotions, the way he controls it or the way he could just set them off. It's something really dangerous, in my opinion
Yeah. I think that because, like, he has this sort of stream of consciousness Twitter feed where he just posts what he thinks without any sort of, like, checks and balances in place. He gets away with a lot more than most most people would even myself. To some extent. I've posted things online, and then a minute later, someone will fact check me. But in his case, people read it and they're like, oh, you know what? This makes sense

Like, actually take that step and do some research and educate yourself, then it's really easy to just say like, yeah, there's going to be fraud and the election will be rigged and you can spin out. Right. So anyways, not to go on a tangent, but I just think, like this bit of news that you posted. There are so many interesting threads tied up in it and would love to hear anything more than anyone has to add to anything I just said

Well, I thought I'd just jump in here. Let me say that even though I can't stand Trump, I think he's easily the worst President ever in the United States. I'm not too worried about the nonsense that he's talking about delaying the election. The important thing to remember is that he'll have to leave office on January 20 or 21st, whatever that date is, and he can't continue in office even if he wants to, because he'll no longer be President
Insecurities fears. Exactly. Camera. Oh, five. I probably got that wrong, but I think that's pretty close to exactly right on. And thank you

Well, yeah, I've called him 44 before, but what do you mean in a you must mean in a derogatory way or derogatory manner. No, I never said it like that, but I just and I have said it. He was the 44th President. So I don't view that as an insult, though

And it's, if not, come outside, we would be able to put up a thing in your house, something that would keep you honest because you could have illegals voting. You could have dead people voting and people who are not supposed to be voting voting. You could probably send one to correction. I don't think it would get through, but you could do that. And I don't think it would work. But I see the problem with mailing ballot
Okay, Jermain. So it sounds like you've done a lot of thinking of how to avoid mailing ballots, etc. But my question is how would you address all of the Americans who live abroad and around the globe? Because I don't know that some of the solutions you've mentioned would realistically be an option. And with full disclosure, I am one of those Americans. I've also been voting by mail in ballot since I moved to Canada the very first time I bye

The idea that the cuvid crisis is just an attempt to get people to stay home rather than go out and vote makes absolutely no sense because it is a global pandemic. It's not just occurring in the United States. People in other countries are not invested in whether or not Trump is elected, so not like we are. So it's not as if the European Nations and the rest of the world are in cahoots to try to keep Americans from voting
That's absolutely wrong. We let nobody in any of our stations without a badge. If you do not have a postal badge, you are not allowed to come into the building and we Hawver even gone as far as where if you are an employee and you don't have your postal badge, you have to go home and find it and you cannot come back in the building until you have your postal badge. We Hawver all mail on lock and key

I do not agree, however, with his vote twice thing, I think that was kind of stupid, but I kind of see where he's coming from. That the mail imbalance don't need to happen because it's just going to be one plus her f*** and get out and vote. And I think that's why they Hawver this coronavirus, why they spurred that on us so that people would stay home and they could push that ballot agenda thing

I'm just curious, because, like when it comes to mail in ballots, for example, sure, lots of mail in ballots are sent to people that no longer around the voting register, because the fastest way to send out paper to people to vote is to put paper in front of people who voted before, and then when the paper comes back, they're cross checked against other pieces of data to make sure the wrong paper isn't casting a vote. That's up to all the States
