Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

We can go to bed now.....

*BREAKING NEWS * New York Attorney General Letitia James just announced that she filed a lawsuit against the NRA to dissolve the organization.

Apologies for not replying earlier, I was busy watching it live via "Agenda free"'s youtube channel.

Edit: Letitia is taking questions from the press now.

Letitia was just asked for comment on the recent news reports of subpoena/s for Deutsche bank documents relating to Trump's financial dealings and the status of any associated investigation/s.

Letitia, understandably, declined to comment.

I found a twitter channel too that had it live. I only watched the first few minutes.

I don't rate their chances of dissolving the NRA. About as much chance as Trump voluntarily releasing his tax returns.

It might be interesting to see if this has any effect on the election. The GOP side will probably claim that this is all part of the Democrat's plan to take away their guns.

Trump sends Dr Fauci and 150,000 dead Americans an "Up yours"

Asked whether the press conference,(held at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey,) which was attended by members of his golf club, some of whom were not wearing masks and who were not maintaining social distance, was violating New Jersey guidelines for golf clubs, Trump said no, “Because it’s a political activity they have exceptions.”

Their gathering and refusal to wear masks is “also a peaceful protest,” Trump said, because his wealthy golf club members “know the news is fake.”

The crowd cheered.

The president recently reversed his anti-mask stance and suggested that wearing face coverings to stop the spread of coronavirus is “patriotic” - but he seems to have changed his mind again.

The president recently reversed his anti-mask stance and suggested that wearing face coverings to stop the spread of coronavirus is “patriotic” - but he seems to have changed his mind again.

I'm beginning to wonder if he has now decided on a two-pronged approach.

Do little to prevent COVID-19 spread, so that the numbers are so scary come election time that vulnerable and poorer people will be reticent to vote in person. The risk to them is far higher than the population in general, as they have fewer polling places close to the areas in which they live, meaning they will be longer queues there. At the same time, take whatever action is within his powers (abetted by some state Governors) to prevent postal voting. He knows cheating is the only possible way he can win at this stage.

Who cares how many die due this approach. It is what it is.

Biden Says He Can't Wait To Find Out Who He Picked For VP

WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to sources in the Biden campaign, the presidential candidate is on pins and needles waiting to see who it is he picked to run for vice president on his ticket.

Campaign aides say it's been Biden's most anticipated event since he found out he was running for president a few weeks ago.

A reporter asked Biden if he could hint about his VP pick during a brief interlude from his stay in the basement, where he was allowed to come upstairs to get some snacks.

"Oh boy -- I hope it's a real classy broad," he said.

Trump just signed 4 executive orders:

So who will be doing the honors of opening up a new thread for the 2020 US Presidential Election political analysis. Or will this thread just be the prime thread for the forecasts, analysis and projections?

Less than 3 months to go; if the potential postal vote rigging can be stopped.

They can just start getting the hand sanitizer and masks ready now/stockpiled for the election; no need to postal vote if there are adequate measures in place. People get given a mask if they don't have one, people sanitize their hands, people social distance; and away they go to vote.

Massive political mistake for Biden not wanting to take the test, if his cognitive abilities are in fact good enough for presidency:

Former Vice President Joe Biden said he has not taken a test to measure his cognitive ability, shrugging off the suggestion as President Trump and his campaign continue to question his mental fitness for office.

"No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man," Biden told CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett in an interview airing in full on Thursday at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists. "That's like saying you, before you got in this program, you're taking a test whether you're taking cocaine or not. What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?"

Trump is good at picking names for his political opponents and I think Trump needs a suggestion for Biden. I think Trump should start calling Biden: Mindless Joe

I suppose I should post some results of my exams: however I didn't really try, or had a need to try, until I had to maintain a credit average to ensure pathways were open to higher academic study; which I don't really now need:

Sleepy Joe is the one Trump's been using up to now.

Donald Trump has denied that his team ever approached South Dakota’s governor about adding his face to the iconic monument depicting four presidents at Mount Rushmore. However, he added that it sounded like a good idea.

"COVID-19 didn’t lay America low; it simply revealed what had long been forsaken. As the crisis unfolded, with another American dying every minute of every day, a country that once turned out fighter planes by the hour could not manage to produce the paper masks or cotton swabs essential for tracking the disease. The nation that defeated smallpox and polio, and led the world for generations in medical innovation and discovery, was reduced to a laughing stock as a buffoon of a president advocated the use of household disinfectants as a treatment for a disease that intellectually he could not begin to understand.

As a number of countries moved expeditiously to contain the virus, the United States stumbled along in denial, as if willfully blind. With less than four percent of the global population, the U.S. soon accounted for more than a fifth of COVID deaths. The percentage of American victims of the disease who died was six times the global average. Achieving the world’s highest rate of morbidity and mortality provoked not shame, but only further lies, scapegoating, and boasts of miracle cures as dubious as the claims of a carnival barker, a grifter on the make."

If he does get in I am sure he will get his face there and it will be a logical fit and there is only room for one more.

Five phases of America:
George Washington: leading the birth of the nation;
Thomas Jefferson: sparking its westward expansion;
Abraham Lincoln: preserving the union and emancipating slaves;
Teddy Roosevelt: championing industrial innovation.
Donald Trump: I am sure we could all come up with one, the USA is likely at a turning point ( I am personally thinking something similar in wording to George Washington, maybe one word changed).
