I used to support the Left when they were anti-war, anti-censorship, and anti-big business. The current Left now embraces all three of these along with a disregard for law and order and a preference for communist countries over their own. That is why I, and many others, walked away.

Brilliant !

Delay the election ! Keeping things the same(voting) is so important,so much more than ever!

America is under attack by the far left radicals . My country can't risk any  improprieties in a general election

And yet you support a President who notion of international negotiation is first to antagonize the opposing party, bring things to the brink, then back pedal. Not the best recipe for peace and stability. The same guy also like suing or threatening to sue anyone publishing unflattering things about himself. As for the last entry, big business - seeing as he's supposedly big business himself, and that many on his cabinet are, or how certain benefits were handed to big business, not sure you really thought that one out much.

And yet the greatest impropriety, which you seem to support, would be to not have the election.

"Left" does not only refer to Communist countries.

 

Left, in TrumpSpeak, means "anyone not supporting Trump".

IMO any Trump supporters will realise that he's just yanking the opposition chain. I certainly don't take it seriously.

Problem is, IMO, that Trump haters are so lacking, IMO, in a sense of humour that they take everything he says as gospel, and take the bait. If it's in the constitution Trump knows he can't change it, and if he didn't, he would have been so informed already.

I think the wizard believes he can change anything with an "executive order". Once the great Oz has spoken

Would you say that Trump is fully to blame for your bad language or just partially to blame ?

 

What "bad language" did you detect in my post(s)?

You didn't seem to have that many issues when "improprieties" were associated with Russia, Trump or voter suppression.

I thought that was what we were talking about , but I just looked back through the thread and the subject was bad language in general and NOT bad language from yourself , so, apologies and question retracted

It's right here, happened in North Carolina. They had to redo the election:

To be expected as the inquiry is leveled at yet another one o' those republican sorts.

Nah, you're thinking about that carbonated fruity pop that came in a dumpy shaped bottle with bits floating in it that came out in the 70's/80's - Oranjina!  Mind you, a bottle of that stuff probably has an IQ higher than Trump.

When I read the article headline, I naturally thought that his motive would be to wait until Covid had run it's course and voters could congregate safely at polling stations - not a bit of it, he couldn't care less - it's pure self-interest he's concerned with.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but per the article:

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday raised the possibility of delaying the nation’s November presidential election despite its date being enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

 

This is false.  Congress sets the date of the election via federal law 3 U.S. Code § 1.  It's short and sweet.  Can't be more succinct.

 

Cornell Law School - 3 U.S. Code § 1.Time of appointing electors

 

The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 644, 62 Stat. 672.)
