That's incorrect, but seeing as how it's a meme, I presume anybody with the brains of a fencepost already knew that.

Via Michael Sykes~ “Steven Calabresi, a cofounder of The Federalist Society, agrees that the events of the last week have caused the mask to fall and revealed Trump for a bona fide fascist. "I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate."”
Trump Might Try to Postpone the Election. That’s Unconstitutional.
He should be removed unless he relents.
I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016. I wrote op-eds and a law review article protesting what I believe was an unconstitutional investigation by Robert Mueller. I also wrote an op-ed opposing President Trump’s impeachment.

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. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

The nation has faced grave challenges before, just as it does today with the spread of the coronavirus. But it has never canceled or delayed a presidential election. Not in 1864, when President Abraham Lincoln was expected to lose and the South looked as if it might defeat the North. Not in 1932 in the depths of the Great Depression. Not in 1944 during World War II.
So we certainly should not even consider canceling this fall’s election because of the president’s concern about mail-in voting, which is likely to increase because of fears about Covid-19. It is up to each of the 50 states whether to allow universal mail-in voting for presidential elections, and Article II of the Constitution explicitly gives the states total power over the selection of presidential electors.
Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021. Even if President Trump disputed an election he lost, his term would still be over on that day. And if no newly elected president is available, the speaker of the House of Representatives becomes acting president.
President Trump needs to be told by every Republican in Congress that he cannot postpone the federal election. Doing so would be illegal, unconstitutional and without precedent in American history. Anyone who says otherwise should never be elected to Congress again.

McConnell: 15-20 GOP senators will not vote for any coronavirus deal
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...nators-will-not-vote-for-any-coronavirus-deal
The party is over for this government. They will go into November with a nation of sick and dying.
But the wealthy will be in the best shape they have ever been.
It has been one hell of a 4 years for the 1%
They must be sick of the winning
You have it bass ackwards Walter, Trump be an asshole, BHO be a smart, articulate gentleman who has done no one any harm. Quit defending and supporting a loser!
That is how the southerners speak. .
Hmmm.
*****************
Q: How can Trump be so sure that the election will be rigged?? and disastrous?? What does HE know that he is hinting at?? ie. what is HE planning to make it so??? Does he believe that voter suppression caused by his sowing doubts, will have a positive result for him?? If that is the case......then his words are influencing a rigged election. Technically, HE is interfering with his own election........but to favor himself. Can't Americans see through his efforts?? He is overtly damaging their fragile democracy.

Honest Government Ad | A message from the White House
The White House has made an ad about how things are going, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.
Good one. But not sure it was the white house that created that . ;-) It is not their style.........nor do they have that kind of sense of humor.
I'm getting to wondering if Walter hasn't been supporting and defending losers all his life.
