    He and his cowardly cultists are trying to starve out the post office to preclude voting by mail. This is VERY serious. He said voting by mail is fraudulent, even as he voted by mail! This election is going to be fucked up by trump and the silent, complicit republicans--guaranteed. We're heading for some truly undemocratic times.

    The homeland security secretary, the CBP commissioner, and the ICE director are currently acting officials.

    It provides Trump an easy way to simply replace one acting official with another acting official if someone doesn't remain loyal to him.



    Former Officials Say The Elite Border Patrol Unit Sent To Confront Portland Protesters Is Like A “Fish Out Of Water”
    "This is political theater for an audience of one.”

    Elite Border Patrol Unit Sent To Portland Protests Prompts Controversy

    excerpt:

    "BORTAC is a tactical unit more akin to the Marine Forces Special Operations Command or the FBI's hostage rescue team that is used to working in remote, rugged areas along the border, so the team’s like "a fish out of water" when it comes to guarding federal buildings in an urban area and dealing with crowds of protesters, he added.

    "This is political theater for an audience of one," Kerlikowske said, referring to Trump, who he said wants to demonstrate his facade of “toughness.” He also noted that the homeland security secretary, the CBP commissioner, and the ICE director were all appointed to their jobs in a temporary capacity, without confirmation by the Senate. “They're one tweet away from being fired, so who are they going to attempt to please?" he asked."

    Trump has yet to offer valid justifications for why he persistently claims that mail fraud and voter fraud in general are detrimental to him but favorable to his competitors. The alleged 3 million illegal votes that he contends went to Hillary is an example.

    The voter fraud commission headed by Kobach found nothing.

    Biker gangs/clubs were one of his biggest supporters. Harley's are terrible bikes. No speed, very loud, not that most comfortable. That's why the struggle to sell bikes to most riders. But you buy them because of America and the image that you support a blue collar life.

    Will this change anything? Probably not since it's a literal cult.

    President Trump Likes Acting Cabinet Members. Research Shows They May Hurt Him

    Trump Likes Acting Cabinet Members. Research Shows They May Hurt Him

    excerpt:

    "But O’Connell’s research, published in the Southern California Law Review in 2009, found that Senate confirmations strengthened the internal positions of Cabinet secretaries, who were able to move more quickly on their agendas. Acting officials typically don’t have the stature to implement new programs or regulations that would have significant effect, and lack the access to the networks that would get them help from the White House and other agencies, O’Connell wrote.

    “Temporary political picks have less political capital to spend externally and internally,” O’Connell wrote. “Even proper appointees have to get up to speed at the start of their government service; therefore, frequent turnover among confirmed appointees also fosters agency inaction.”

    O’Connell also noted that acting heads often do not have the authority to direct their employees to take up work beyond basic functions, she wrote. And worker satisfaction in departments that have had acting secretaries has declined, according to the Partnership for Public Service, which found low employee engagement at the Department of Homeland Security and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among other agencies, in a 2018 survey."

    His post master general is slowing down the mail on purpose for November. You get people used to slow mail now since of course the goverment is corrupt and inefficient. See how it can't even get a letter to you in less than 10 days? So when there are lost or "late" ballots in the mail it's too late the election is over. They were probably fake Democratic votes anyway from someone who died in 1990.

    Mail in voting is not safe. The post master general is where he is because he's going to slow down and destroy the Democratic votes. Even though everyone is using the mail more because of the virus USPS was still doing pretty good. A day or two late maybe but now for no reason months in it's gotten much worse.

    But he voted in Florida from a DC address, which in itself is fraudulent... He's just proving his point.

    He looked into sellling Puerto Rico after they weren’t licking his boots for doing nothing after hurricane Maria.

    It's cowardly of Trump to not permit Fauci, Birx, and other health officials from appearing at his press events that he labels as virus briefings.

    As legal professionals say, you can't cross-examine an affidavit. It's much preferred to have the person who wrote the information present in court so he can be questioned.

    Trump stifled the interaction and says he will relay the information to the press because it's more concise.

    It's also docile for some of the press to keep taking this treatment from Trump at the briefings and act overly polite to him like they actually believe he really has a change of heart this time around after months of a deadly pandemic.

    And he wants to give us another $1200 because he thinks we might vote for him. The guy is a shallow thinker, huh?

    Because he is currently down by double digits to Biden, Trump has to scare the white suburbans into thinking that BLM people will be climbing the drain pipes of their houses and entering through the screen windows.



    Trump Tries To Appeal To 'Housewives' And White Suburbs, But That View Is Outdated

    Trump Tries To Appeal To 'Housewives' And White Suburbs, But That View Is Outdated

    excerpt:

    "Based on national exit polls, here are the percentages of the electorate that were suburban voters in recent elections, plus the margins for each candidate:

    2004: 45% (Bush 52%-47%)
    2008: 49% (Obama 50%-48%)
    2012: 47% (Romney 50%-48%)
    2016: 50% (Donald Trump 47%-45%)

    You can see that Trump won suburban voters narrowly in 2016, but he has cratered with them. In recent polling, he's down by a historic margin, an average of 15 points.

    Some recent examples:

    ABC News/Washington Post: Biden +9
    Fox News: Biden +11
    CNN: Biden +14
    Quinnipiac University: Biden +22
    NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist: Biden +25

    And it's especially bad among suburban women. In the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, 66% of suburban women disapproved of the job Trump is doing overall, and 58% said they "strongly" disapprove."

    Trump tweet July 23, 2020:

    "The Suburban Housewives of America must read this article. Biden will destroy your neighborhood and your American Dream. I will preserve it, and make it even better!"
