Joe Biden: “… C’mon, man! What is he doing? What in God’s name is he doing?”

Referring to Trump’s HCQ habit, but the question has broader implications.

Trump is a psycho-thug who is now sounding like he is threatening to shoot his hostages if his demands are not met.

He is really walking down the omnipotent path. Tomorrow, he will raise his orange paw and all will be beholden to his sun raising power.

Voting procedures are controlled by the states, and within them, by the county clerks. Outside of a few federal guidelines aimed at making sure all eligible voters can vote, the federal government has no say. The president, even less.

Moreover, when it comes to election fraud and “vote harvesting”, Republicans have always taken the lead in recent times.

I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!

Donald Trump is a two-bit dictator.

No news here. His manbaby tantrum was predictable as the sun coming up in the morning. And it makes me happy that his blood pressure is elevating with each mailed ballot.

Well, he can’t so that’s enough of that. It’s an empty threat.

Honestly, why do the media let him get away with this crap?

Meanwhile in KY, the governor is now allowing us to vote by mail in the primary. There’s actually a line on the ballot request form that says “Covid-19” as the reason. I’m fairly certain that after the primary he’ll announce we can vote absentee in the general. I’m actually looking forward to that fool picking a fight with our Andy thus putting Turtle in the middle. Come at us, bro.

I love how he continues to “endear” himself to voters that he desparately needs to win reelection.

Hmmm. A swing State, and now you are going to get your opponents more juiced up to vote because you are going to, or threatening to, take away their Federal funding.

Please proceed, Orange Shit Stain.

Don’t forget: Trump toadies are now pretty much in control of the USPS. How long before mail carriers are ordered (on pain of termination) to not deliver certain types of mail?

I’m surprised he didn’t add “Stupid GIRL!!” to his rant. Jackass.

Has he mentioned that he has voted by mail-in ballot in Florida? I suppose it’s only fraudulent when someone else does it.
