(13,444 posts)Trump is moving at a faster pace to dismantle everything he can touch. The virus is out of control with no end in sight, and with schools starting across the country, infections will start spreading even faster.
Riots in Portland are giving Trump an excuse to return his secret police if he chooses. Oregon also seems out of control, or if it isnt the media is portraying it that way.
Trump is doing his best to destroy the postal service to prevent mailed ballots. And who can stop him? It seems no one. We no longer have an Attorney General working for uswe have a corrupt one working against us. Congressional hearings are good, but wheres the power to remove DeJoy?
And now Trump has usurped Congresss Constitutional role as the body with sole authority for taxing and spending. The Republican Supreme Court already gave him the green light for bypassing Congress when it allowed him to use defense money when Congress refused to allocate more money for his wall. Trump set up failure in Congress by sending Mark Meadows to Congressional negotiations to ensure that they would blow up, and he was successful. Democrats may be able to file suit to stop Trumps usurpation, but how long will that take? Meanwhile SS and Medicare funds are being robbed.
Trump and his team are looking at the same polls we are. And states like Florida, Texas, and Georgia where Biden is either ahead or close are run by Republican governors. Im sure the Trump campaign is working with Republican governors to do everything they can to prevent minorities, seniors, and any other bloc that favors Biden from voting. Does anyone really believe that DeSantis will do nothing to prevent Biden being elected?
Sorry, but my pessimism has taken over this morning because I think we will have nothing but chaos until the vote in November. Having to stay at home 98% of the time and being unable to see friends and relatives is definitely getting to me!
