Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy | Editorial

Quote

On Thursday morning, after months of attacks on the United States Postal Service and vote-by-mail, President Donald Trump admitted that the two efforts are connected as a part of one voter disenfranchisement effort. In a Fox Business Network interview, Trump said that the sticking point for him in the negotiations over a new coronavirus economic relief package is Post Office funding: “If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting. They just can’t have it.”

“libtards”? This is the kind of normalization of grade school dialogue that trump has accomplished. Once you descend into name calling, pretty much any chance of a rational discussion to find common ground is gone.

As for your other rant. Here’s trump talking about ivanka. His words.

Don’t waste your time trying to educate liberals. They have turned into nothing more than science denying fascist conspiracy theorists who support domestic terrorism.

Ha! That’s what I would say almost the same about Republicans. Science denying, dictator loving, conspiracy theorists who support ignorance as a way of life and domestic terrorism.

I don't engage with accounts once they begin using those tactics. They have nothing to offer to any discussion. I am skeptical of their intentions and the moderators should be as well. The history of activity in AN just before the 2018 election should serve as a warning of the coming onslaught of commentary that is disconnected from truth, evidence and reality.

Childish name calling, fantastical beliefs and unsupported claims seem to be what Trump is modeling from the Oval Office as the best defense of his presidency.

Nothing in that video suggests Trump is incestuous. He gave his daughter a compliment. How a liberal can twist that compliment into incest is quite honestly disturbing.
I gave up long ago having rational discussions with liberals. It’s not worth my time or effort. You are a lost cause.

Since you are a Biden supporter can you explain to me how Hunter Biden went from drug addict to multimillionaire while his dad was the VP. It’s documented he took large sums of money from corrupt oligarchs in the Ukraine and the Chinese. Doesn’t that smell a bit like crony corruption even to a flag burning riot supporter liberal?

Name calling serves no useful purpose, not a factual basis to support one's position and against AN's TOS,

Numerous reports in media of Trumps boasts of his daughter's attributes along with pictures some view as sexually provocative.

Hunter Biden was a successful l upscale.awyer when his father was VP . Wikipedia has full info on his life, downfall due to drug use and bipolar disorder diagnosis.

None of these issues has anything to do the the Post office slowing down the mail while the current President railing against mail-in voting.

Why is the democratic party cheering a man who has been accused of sexual misconduct? Why won't they at least investigate the claims? Why does Biden have to sniff every woman he sees? If Biden could fix America he would of told Obama how to do it. He didn't. Why should any sane human being trust him now? Explain to me how Beau Biden who is a drug addict, a philanderer and unqualified to do anything but screw his dead brothers wife and deny fathering a child out of wedlock manage to become massively wealthy via the Ukranian and Chinese government within a few years? Doesn't this smell a bit like corruption? Are your blinders too thick to see this? BIDEN=CORRUPTION

YES! BIDEN = CORRUPTION. And he is facing criminal charges in the Ukraine and soon here in the U.S. (he and many others).

Everybody knows the DNC has been taken over by America hating left -wing radicals.

Bernie Sanders decided that Harris would be VP. Harris accused Biden of racism and said his sexual assault victims show be believed. She also as AG of California presided over the mass incarceration of people of color for crimes as small as possession of weed. She also floundered in the DNC primary -dropping out after the first round in 2016.

Because of Biden's dementia he will resign his fist year in office and Harris -a extreme radical leftist hand picked by Sanders will be president.

The leftists are more vocal on social platforms such as this. Most moderates & conservatives keep their opinions to themselves and can't be bothered arguing with the unwashed. But we are the majority -and they know it. The riot and beat up bystanders to intimidate us just like the Nazi Brown Shirts.

I know plenty of people who voted for Clinton in 2016 who are voting for Trump in November. As long as the election is fair and honest creepy perv Biden and corrupt Harris don't stand a chance.

Trump got us out of unfair trade deals, put Americans back to work, got prison reform done, undid a bunch of job killing federal regulations, we got tax cuts, he reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs, VA Choice & VA Accountability Act, he got us out of the job-killing Paris Climate Accord, he has cracked down on human trafficking and child abuse, replaced NAFTA, took a hard line against China and gave terminally ill patients hope. I could go on and on -that is why I support Trump.

And what has Biden Done? Enriched himself, his family and friends at the expense of the American people. All the democrats got are the politics of hate & identity embracing failed socialism.

COVID is real but it has been exploited to overthrow a presidency and destroy our economy in the process -now it is being used to steal an election.

The conspiracy theories are strong with this one. Bless your heart. Living in that kind of fear truly has to be miserable. I hope you find your way to some truth and peace.

WOW!, aren't you smug. The only"conspiracy theory" is that Trump is somehow screwing with the post office. The post office has been having troubles for years. The Post Office is the only government agency that is supposed to make a profit by design to be self supporting. But the Postal Union has priced themselves right out of business and now they want the taxpayers to bail them out. You don't know me and I don't live in fear. But it must be miserable for you to live in ignorance. But then again, I guess if you are ignorant you don't realize it. I hope you find some truth, but I doubt you'd recognize it smacked you in the face. But you know what fear looks like? People driving in their cars with the windows rolled up wearing masks. Or people sitting on their front porches or mowing their lawns with masks on -that is what fear looks like.

Costco and Walmart limits then people in the building

I don't know what WalMart store's you go to, but the ones in my area are usually packed to the gills. It's why I was staying away long before CV-19. I drive by, and still that way or worse...

Same here -packed. And so are the groceries, home improvement stores, department stores and specialty shops, restaurants and bars. One would not know that we are in the mist of the "worst pandemic in the past 100 years" -other than the governor in my state mandated masks. No reason people can't go to the polls. People can wear masks and they can place the polling machines 6 foot apart. Masks & social distancing works -right? So if everyone is wearing a mask....

Southern Illinois. And social distancing and masks aren’t enough. Every business where I live only allows 25% capacity. How is everyone going to be able to vote while polling places are open with such restrictions? Mail in voting should be no big deal!

Mandated mail in voting has the potential to be hugely fraudulent. Cases this week in Manhattan and Patterson NJ show how easily ballots can be lost, manipulated or forged. I have no problem with somebody asking for an absentee ballot. I have a huge issue with ballots being mailed to people who didn't ask for them. It's way to easy rig the system with mass mailings.

Wear your mask, social distance and go to your polling place and vote. If I can wait an hour to get checked out at Costco and I did recently I can wait an hour to vote.
