This was some crazy BS my father texted me last night.

I'm assuming it's Q Anon related.

But WTF, he thinks we are going to indict democrats for Treason!?
 
The Trump administration is putting more effort into preventing voter fraud and countering democrats efforts to expand voting-by-mail in November than they are with managing the Coronavirus crisis and reopening the economy.

It's just absolutely crazy that this takes priority over everything else, to ensure they can win again.

Trump also tweeted yesterday about baseless claims that voter fraud is rampant in California.

San Fran sued over 'nightmare' neighborhood conditions - CNN Video

In SF's Tenderloin district, after the number of tents jumped nearly 300%, residents, businesses and a nearby law school are suing to force the city to clean it up.

Homelessness has jumped by 300% in San Fran since January. Tents are found everywhere. Residents and businesses and a nearby law school are taking legal action to have all tents removed from the streets and sidewalks.

They are claiming the homeless population is putting them in danger for spread of Covid-19, human waste on the sidewalks, drugs and blocked street and sidewalk access.

The lawsuit provides no real solution for the issue. It just seeks to evict them and have the city clean up their mess. It does not solve the issue of where are they going to go, provide aid and what not.

While California has the largest number of electoral votes, Trump doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of taking them.

This is all tactic to divert attention away from what a shitty job he’s done, especially in regards to the pandemic.

Donald Trump: “Hey! Look over there!”

Why aren't editorial boards screaming: Trump has to go?

During the Watergate scandal, nearly every major newspaper in America called for Nixon to resign. More than 100 newspapers did the same during Bill Clinton's impeachment. After three years of political and actual carnage under Trump, writes Joe Lockhart, and steady grousing from the biggest...
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

By the height of the Watergate scandal in 1974, virtually every major newspaper in America had called for President Richard Nixon's resignation. During the investigation and impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998, more than 100 newspapers called for him to resign.

But President Donald J. Trump? He could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody... and not a single major daily newspaper would call for his resignation.

Basically, the reason we are not seeing news papers call for the resignation of Trump is we as a are more polarized than ever. Publishing such an editorial would only devid us further.

News papers are also not the power houses they once used to be. They have fewer subscribers and less influence. With how the Trump base gets angered by anything anti trump it would only anger a portion of their subscribers who may unsubscribe. In this day an age an editorial like that could only hurt the newspaper. Without having as much influence as they once had, it's simply not worth it for them to go after Trump.

Mitch McConnell: Obama 'should have kept his mouth shut' instead of criticizing US coronavirus response

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed former President Barack Obama for criticizing the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic during a private call last week, asserting that he "should have kept his mouth shut."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed former President Barack Obama for criticizing the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic during a private call last week, asserting that he "should have kept his mouth shut."

"I think it's a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you," McConnell told President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, during a Trump campaign live stream. "You had your shot, you were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bush's set up -- of not critiquing the president who comes after you -- is a good tradition."

Good old Mitch. Backing the orange haired man again.
 
Can someone explain to me why these loonies are out there screaming about arresting Obama while they are agreeing with Trump that Presidents can do whatever they want without fear of being convicted of a crime?

Might as well be a rhetorical question, I know.

Because Obama did something no former president has done since Bush. Comment / criticize a current sitting president.

Last weekend Obama meed a comment on a private call that said Trump's handling of this crisis is a complete disaster.

The loonies can't have him saying anything bad about their dear leader. That's treason.
