So it's supposedly safe enough to send our children to school, yet it's too dangerous because of the virus to vote? So much so that we should delay the election?!? But fine just fine to send all the kids back to school?!? So are we just not following the Constitution at all these days? GOP, he should be Impeached Again for this.

[@lynpowell8532]

The only thing Trump knows about our Constitution is that it was written a long time ago and pertains to others- not him. He thinks he can do whatever he wants. But people keep telling him about the Constitution. So, the Constitution gets in his way from doing whatever he wants. I am stunned he has not tried to get rid of it. After all, he wants to postpone Election Day. That should tell us he thinks he is above the law. NO ONE is above the law. It would be fun to watch him being dragged out of the WH. Let's see if his "infantroopen's" will help him. It was one of his made up words. Can he use it in a sentence? I think he was trying to say "infantry" and "paratroopers" and just combined the two. But that is too logical for his brain to figure out.

[@ferguscrawford3081]

There are a lot of names being thrown around in the U.S. and often they are used without regard to their real meaning. I definitely stand against Trump's attacks on protestors. That is literally feeding fuel and oxygen to a raging fire and no good will come of it. I desperately want to see the U.S. raise competent leaders. The U.S. is getting stuck on values and morals, but without competent leaders, morals and values will quickly drop in quality as the nation fails due to antiquated trade and domestic policies. Over funding police and military when they are better off practicing policies to deter drug use and invest in forming better trade deals with nations abroad to cut crime and terrorism at the same time. There's a saying that when you stop sending goods across boards, guns cross boarders instead. I just want to hear less name calling, more nation building, and see American's recognize that the news was reporting a strong economy as American's turned to Trump to "Make America Great Again." If qualified U.S. Government officials will no longer be running for president because celebrities are outcampaigning them with their stashed millions, then American's better start recognizing the real reasons unqualified candidates are finding themselves rising to the top on the political spectrum. Name calling won president Trump's election. We need to stop with that name calling and focus on the real issues. The U.S. had a strong economy and it didn't make America great. Make America Noble, make America sincere, make America a place to send the sick, the tired, the old.

[@barkYdarkATFB]

@Fergus Crawford name calling, like trump does (“lazy, liar, crazy, rapist, murderers, sleepy, nasty, weak, crooked, fat”) is NOT what won his election. It’s the electoral college that caused that win. It’s too many people that didn’t want gun control, black folks or women. Its those that support white supremacy or don’t support DACA that edged him forward. His type of name calling only shined a spotlight on those bullies and hillbillies that felt empowered by having an ally in the limelight. Defining an autocrat, oligarch or fascist is not immature name calling. It’s being honest about where this country is headed if we don’t stop the progression of the oligarchs, autocrats and fascists.

[@Delekham]

[@ferguscrawford3081]

@@barkYdarkATFB I just want to see people focus on making the idea of his corruption more understandable to his followers. As long as we jump the gun on calling him a dictator, we should first establish he was by no means elected. That means taking away his supporters. Every time "liberals" (I hate how people polarize issues and classify them as liberal or conservative) do something to oppose Trump, the right feel equally under assault. That's the big issue I see. Nothing is wrong as long as America is at war with itself, and no matter what he does, his supporters go along with him because his despotic approach to solving America's problems works well for his supporters. More time should be spent letting him mess up the republican agenda.

Rathwulven, Thank you for your concern. Be aware that the majority of us here are just as alarmed as you are and we have been since the 2016 election debacle. All of the western democracies should stay alert to the influence that Russia and China puts into our democratic elections. They have a vested interest in putting politicians up that will do damage and destruction to our countries and use misinformation and propaganda to get their favored candidates elected. None of us should ever become apathetic about our democracies. The U.S. made a huge mistake in letting such a candidate win. A lot of the problem here is our electoral college system in electing a president. It is absurd in that it allows a candidate that doesn't get the most votes to win the election. We know that Putin targeted strategic states with enough electoral college votes to get trump elected. Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, directly supplied the Kremlin with the information needed to do that. We all need to stay alert and be informed voters.

Reckless public endangerment at least - thats gotta be actionable malfeasance, and also proof of cognitive impairment.

Hey, there's no need to insult Garfield. Unlike the president he's a lovable orange fat cat AND he actually has a good wit.

[@michelekett8450]

Garfield and my cat are smarter than Trump.

Gungelion Trump is a wit, just an A grade f#*kwit

Seth, I maintain this quarantine has shown who has the true gift of comedy. You and Trevor are the Kings of Quarantine Comedy. Hang in there. Hope there is someone to make you laugh and cope they way you've helped me. That sea captain though... he's got to go. Sorry Cap

"The law does not permit him to do this" So... What's 'actually' going to stop him from doing it?

The US Army in January 2020 when he will be evicted, election or no election.
