Mike Luckovich for July 31, 2020

Not going to happen. Next will be his refusal to accept the results and a big brouhaha when he tries to deploy “his” troops. I sincerely hope it doesn’t come down to armed conflict.

We will never allow the election to be delayed. Why? Because we would rather DIE than live any longer than necessary or legal under this administration!

Trump clearly expects to lose, so he is now trying to sabotage the election to de-legitimize it. First he will try to prevent it, by obstructing and discrediting mail voting (that he, himself, uses to vote), then trying to undermine the United States Postal Service to impede their ability to handle mail ballots, then question other aspects of an election in which only he (with help from Putin and voter suppression) is trying to “rig,” and finally by simply delaying and ultimately denying the election.

Good news #1: Trump has no power to delay, suspend or otherwise interfere with the management of the actual election. Only Congress can change the date, and the Democratic House will not accept that. Further, the actual election is carried out as fifty separate state-by-state elections, and the states — certainly the Blue states — have no obligation to heed an illegal order from Trump.

Good news #2: Even if the election were unresolved, the Twentieth Amendment spells out clearly that the terms of all House seats and one third of the Senate seats expire on January 3rd. If they are not filled, they go vacant. More important, the terms of the president and vice president expire on January 20. If they are unresolved, they must leave office anyway and the line of succession is followed. This would mean that, if California holds its election and Nancy Pelosi wins her seat, and Democrats hold the House, she would be next in line with both the presidency and vice presidency vacant.

If the House election were unresolved, it would go to the incoming Senate. If the Democrats get the senate, Chuck Schumer takes the reins. If the election is delayed or unresolved, one-third of the seats go vacant, but this year most of those (23 out of the 33) are Republican and, with the vacancies, the Democrats would hold the senate and send a Democrat to the White House.

Either way, Trump would be gone and replaced by a Democrat.

If tRump does not leave the White House when he is supposed to……..TEAR GAS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deny him fast food. Then lure him out with a Filet O’Fish and diet Coke from McPukes.

He could 1) absolve Congress 2) declare martial law 3) not leave the Oval Office until a re-count is done 4) rally his ‘brown shirts’ to come and protect him; you KNOW he will think of something bizarre to keep himself in office!!!

I would love to see him buried under a blue avalanche!

“Squirrel”… ( they fall for it every time ) Just another distraction to divert attention from the worst GDP drop EVER. Even worse, a pair of intelligent, ethical, and admired uppity Negros got more press attention than him.

When Trumpie the Clown dies and he will die someday Please, Please, Please don’t bury it at Arlington, pure disgrace to the Honoured dead that lie there!!!

I want America back, where people trust/respect doctors, math, science, scientists, the news, each other, our allies, and especially our government — secure in the knowledge that either political party can be trusted to do their very best for all of We The People.

Ivanka can then sell facial mud packs made in America instead of cans of Goya Beans.

Some people are saying that delaying the election would be unconstitutional. Like that would bother anybody.

Well, since EVERYONE from Moscow Mitch on down IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY has told him to go pound sand up his ass on THIS ONE, it ain’t gonna happen!

Less knowledge of the Constitution and how state and federal governments work than a school kid. He glories in his ignorance and has convinced his MAGAts that he’s fighting to save the republic but even Republicans who have allowed his abhorrent behavior since 2016 have called “foul”.

A military coup? First time for everything.

Ok. Let’s cancel the election all together. Why? Because Trump and Pence end their terms at Noon on January 20, 2021. Want to guess who would become President at 12:01, 1/20/2021? Think “Speaker of the House”!! Do you really want that?

Desperate Donnie wants to prolong this embarrassment by cancelling the game. Not even Republicans want that. Most of them secretly want him gone, too.

They are too cowardly to be patriots and speak out against him. They fear he will turn on them and cause them to lose their House, Senate, State office election.

No complacency. No overconfidence. Only single minded determination to save America by driving his pestilence from our midst. And by taking as many of his fellow R’s as we can down with him.

Let’s hope for a 1932 and/or 1980 style of humiliation for the incumbent with over 40 states rejecting the sitting president.

Sorry bud.. this one, like the COVID-19 thing.. the climate change.. hurricanes.. can’t be changed with a Sharpie.. or a wish.

Also whistles as he walks past the graveyard at midnight.

“Do not ask for whom the bell tolls”, Fat Ass!

I still ask myself “Am I better or worse off than I was four years ago,” and will vote accordingly. So far, I’ve been unable to convince myself that I, or the country, is better off with:

151,000+ dead Americans since March of this year alone and the number of new corona virus cases growing exponentially;

the worst GDP decline in history;

a Congress that can’t agree on anything even within their own parties;

a president who openly declares “I take no responsibility”;

and a president who seriously touts alien DNA and demonic influences and ingesting bleach or disinfectant as a cure while ridiculing the scientific experts of his own choosing, and can’t understand why he’s not more popular than those he ridicules.

You know, if you just step back a bit, it’s almost impossible to imagine that all this is happening and we are having these conversations about denied pandemics, over 150,000 dead and counting, Putin love affairs, failed impeachments, corrupt elections, non existent voter fraud, gross emolument violations, DOJ as Trump’s whore, presidential pardons of felony-convicted cronies, fiats by tweet…and on and on. If you had described this to someone 10 years ago, no one would have believed you. Hard to believe it now…

…and extending the mudslide?

leave it to the entire MSM to prove once again that they are unable to walk and chew gum at the same time because they spend absurd amounts of time telling us all about Trump the chief twit and his twitter rants even tho what he says about postponing the election is known by one and all to be meaningless because he can’t postpone an election, period. But, once again, The twits rants distract from the fact of 150,000 people have died from COVID 19, just in the US. That is 1/4 of all COVID deaths in the world. Last I read we had over 4 million infected, the most of any country in the world.But, due to the fact that over 97% of all forms of mass media in this country are owned by 6 corporations, we are kept ignorant of the rest of the world and how, (golly gee)every other first world country is or already has gotten a handle on the pandemic. Meanwhile, Trump twitters while the pandemic gets ever closer to a tipping point of catastrophic dimensions and we the sheeple remain, for the most part, ignorant

I have heard that in other first world countries you can be tested and get the result in minutes. Not like the up to 7 days it can take in the US. Trump, OTOH gets tested daily, getting results in just a few hours.So why Mr Trump was the offer of the COVID 19 test kit developed I believe in Germany and offered to the world by WHO, refused and the CDC told to develop one of our own? Which can take up to 7 days to get results, making it totally useless. Your decision sir has caused tens of thousands unnecessary deaths because of that truly idiotic decision.

I am guessing he wants to postpone it for 4 years. Bet he thinks that would work. Nobody tell him that if he does try – he and Pence would be out of jobs even without a vote!!!

to quote Kosh: " once the landslide has started it is too late for the pebble to vote"

The best way to get rid of Trump and his cult is to bury them in a blue tsunami on Nov 3. He can go start his triple ultra crackpot TV network and continue to rant and pout on someone else’s dime.

John Wilkes Booth, John Hinkley, Squeaky Fromme, Lee Harvey Oswald, Arthur Bremer, Sara Jane Moore, Leon Czolgosz, All say Hi folks, who’s up to bat?

Trump had to come up with a shocking lie, the economy lost 32% last quarter.

We are officially in the Trump/Republican depression.

Better get Putin on the phone for more mentoring…

It would be nice to see a landslide, but I’m acquainted with enough red-hats who are hell bent on supporting Trump that I wouldn’t rule anything out.

The thing is, IF we had us a democracy, and IF people took it seriously, and IF what happened in Russia stayed in Russia, we’d already have had our third female president (after Edith Wilson and Nancy Reagan). Plus, you know, 125,000 or so more people would be alive in that case…….MORAL: Don’t take the polls for granted!

If we could change the date of the election I would propose moving it to next Tuesday.

I feel a repeat of 2016 coming on.
