    I wasn't going to make any further comments but yesterday's developments are pretty substantial. Both sides of the aisle yesterday lined up against Trump's assault on democracy and I think if he continues this destructive path of negating the election results in November he will be actually impeached.

    "But in his tweet on Thursday morning -- coming 96 days before the election and minutes after the federal government reported the worst economic contraction in recorded history -- Trump offered the suggestion because he claimed without evidence the contest will be flawed.
    "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," he wrote. "Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"

    There is no evidence that mail-in voting leads to fraud.
    Trump has previously sought to stoke fear and lay the groundwork to question the election's results by promoting the idea that mail-in voting leads to widespread fraud and a "rigged" election.

    The day you won't make anymore comments the world has likely ended or Skybox has shut down.

    Strange that all the people posting here you stand alone. And a lot of us have had significant differences through the years but when it comes to Dave's logic no one agrees.

    Pretty telling.

    I will venture that there will be a turnover in the Senate and we will have an all Democratic Congress in addition to a Democratic president by the time the military has to forcibly remove Donald Trump kicking and screaming from the White House.
    I stand in the majority Bill..... just not here on the decidedly ultra conservative Skybox.

    Here's what a vote by mail election looks like in Democratic NJ.
    1 in 5 Ballots Rejected as Fraud Is Charged in N.J. Mail-In Election | RealClearPolitics
    "Mail-in ballots have long been acknowledged by voting experts to be more susceptible to fraud and irregularities than in-person voting. This has raised concerns from President Trump and other Republicans about the integrity of national elections in November, which are expected to include a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots. If Paterson is any guide, it ought to concern Democrats as well"

    Following accusations of widespread fraud, voter intimidation, and ballot theft in the May 12 municipal elections in Paterson, N.J., state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal (pictured) announced Thursday he is charging four men with voter fraud – including the vice president of the City Council and a candidate for that body.

    With races still undecided, control of the council hangs in the balance. Paterson is New Jersey’s third largest city and the election will decide the fate of a municipal budget in excess of $300 million, in addition to hundreds of millions more in education spending and state aid.

    Trump: "Smart People" Understand What's Going On With Voter Fraud, "Stupid People" Don't…
    In the City Council election, 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but only 13,557 votes were counted. More than 3,190 votes, 19% of the total ballots cast, were disqualified by the board of elections. Due to the pandemic, Paterson’s election was done through vote-by-mail. Community organizations, such as the city’s NAACP chapter, are calling for the entire election to be invalidated.

    "Mail-in ballots have long been acknowledged by voting experts to be more susceptible to fraud and irregularities than in-person voting. This has raised concerns from President Trump and other Republicans about the integrity of national elections in November, which are expected to include a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots. If Paterson is any guide, it ought to concern Democrats as well.

    Over 800 ballots in Paterson were invalidated for appearing in mailboxes improperly bundled together – including a one mailbox where hundreds of ballots were in a single packet. The bundles were turned over to law enforcement to investigate potential criminal activity related to the collection of the ballots.


    The board of elections disqualified another 2,300 ballots after concluding that the signatures on them did not match the signatures on voter records."
    This is an actually problem, not some stupid eventuality of Trump not leaving. Does anyone out there remember the morons who are in charge of elections down in Broward and Palm Beach counties? It took those assholes 2 weeks to count votes from a regular election. If they have to count only mail ins it might take half a presidential administration to get done.

    Well if you listened to Obama's rant at the Lewis memorial you know what DIVISIVE really is. He's come out of his ocean-side estate to enter the fray. Lots of bets being placed on Biden's choice for VP....Michelle Obama!!! OMG!

    And so the Big Ten effectively cancels the college football season.

    And we're supposed to stand by and not get a little pissed off at those at the top in Washington who have not done all that they could from the very start months ago to continually and daily address the fight against the spread of this virus?? Pissed off at those who politicized and redirected every bit of medical advice to suit their own political purposes?

    Enjoy your fall without football.

    My wife is an RN Case Manager and was just on the phone with a patient who has breathing issues and so he went to get an antibiotic today and they said he first had to have a Covid test.
    Well...... turns out he had one a WEEK ago and is still waiting for results!!!
    That is inexcusable and if you wanna know why your college football season is so screwed it's because Trump has not taken the initiative to commit enough resources for testing with quick results and assigning enough people to contact trace people who someone like this patient might have interacted with in the past week. Contrary to the Liar-in-Chief the virus has not been under control.... has not been getting better and his testing effort from a federal standpoint has been woefully inadequate.

    40% of this country has lost it's collective mind. Just plain looney and dangerously sick. It's become abundantly clear how Hitler manipulated the German nation into believing that the Jews were evil and had to be destroyed. He like Trump was probably smart enough not to believe all of that conspiracy himself but he knew he could manipulate the masses into doing his insane dirty work. Next Trump will be rounding up all of those violent dirty leftist Antifa teachers who have burned Portland to the ground and running them before a firing squad....or gas chamber.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene who just received the complete support of President Trump:
    She tweeted in the wake of a Washington Post story about her lead in the June primary: "The Chinese propagandists at the Washington Post are attacking me the same way they attack Donald Trump, and other conservatives."And that's entirely apart from her public support of QAnon! Which is a baseless conspiracy theory that believes, among other things, that Trump was recruited by the military to run for president in 2016 because he alone wasn't beholden to the secret power brokers of the world, and could break the hold that they have on American society. And that "Q" continues to signal that the likes of Hillary Clinton will be rounded up in a mass arrest for alleged crimes against society. While QAnon is not responsible for the Pizzagate conspiracy -- the appalling and incorrect idea that Clinton and her cronies were involved in a pedophilia ring at a pizza shop in Northwest Washington -- there's considerable overlap among the two belief groups.
    Trump had this to say about the looney bird's victory:
    On Wednesday morning, the President of the United States tweeted congratulations to a Republican candidate who won a congressional runoff in Georgia on Tuesday.
    "Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent," wrote Donald Trump. "Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!"

    Dave do you know what is going oh in many cities in this country. Portland has had rioting for 9 weeks. Seattle has a downtown area that had been economically devastated, the police budget has been gutted and the chief has resigned. Chicago saw a "reparations" looting on Michigan Ave and hundreds have been killed there this year. NYC is like the old West, shootings are up but the mayor brags that other crime is down. It isn't down, muggers and rapists are freed immediately with no bail, the law requires the prosecution to give the names of all witnesses including victims to the defendants attorney and people have stopped reporting non-shooting crimes. Democratic governors and mayors are in bed with anarchists and most Americans are appalled at what's happening. You're side is corrupt, anti-American and flat out destructive. Maybe you think that the media can influence enough mentally deficient anti-Trump morons to vote Democratic but based on recent polls, the media has no credibility with a majority of Americans. I doubt that there are enough anarchists, brain-washed, creased-crotched harpies and morons out their to flip the Senate. Why is it the side that ignores the First Amendment, wants to abolish the Second and the Electoral College and hates the rest of the Constitution point at Trump and compare him to Hitler. Your side is a bunch of Bolsheviks who'd support a Stalin.

    Funny you should mention "brainwashed" Gipper.

    My wife and I both agree that's the only rational explanation for so many of Trump supporters never questioning the veracity of the lies he flows freely with. Trump clearly and distinctly blabbered on about how the NYC mayor fired NYPD police officers and in the name of law and order etc. etc. they need to be rehired immediately.
    "Facts First: The President appears to have been referring to two groups of New York City police who were not fired -- prospective police academy students whose future jobs were eliminated before they joined the force and the NYPD's anti-crime unit, whose officers were all reassigned to other offices within the police department.
    An NYPD spokesperson told CNN on Wednesday that the department hasn't "fired any group of officers."

    So why are these lies ok with Trump's supporter? Brainwashing? Gaslighting?

    Speaking of veracity it would take much more time than I have to fact check your ultra conservative right diatribe of a post. You do have nice flow in your presentation though even though everything you say sounds as if it comes straight out of those conservative rags and/or Fox News radicals that you like to cite so often .

    How many hours a day do you watch CNN? Every post of yours refers to those low rating losers. The ******* NY Times writes lies for 2 years about the Russian Collusion, CNN has thousands of hours covering that lie and you quote CNN to fact check Trump? You can't be brain washed, it requires a brain.

    With this kind of paranoia running rampant is the GOP doing too much acid?

    "The lead sentence in an article in The New York Times on Tuesday was a bizarre, if fitting, encapsulation of the state of American politics today: "Conspiracy theorists won a major victory on Tuesday...."
    That's because a Republican supporter of QAnon, a fringe group of quacks who believe President Donald Trump is under constant attack by deep-state, satanic child molesters, won her House primary runoff election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District, one of the country's reddest, where she is likely to triumph in November.

    Welcome to the United States Congress, Q.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene is not alone in her quackery. There are currently more than a dozen QAnon supporters running for Congress, the Times reports.

    Talib, AOC, and Omar won their primaries and you're worried about Republicans? Get your head out of your ass.

    Does it matter, some Democratic politician will want me to pay reparations either way.
