WARNING: Trump Sabotaging Postal Service to Steal Election
Donald Trump suggested yesterday that the 2020 election should be delayed due to coronavirus and vote-by-mail. Trump doesn’t have the power to delay the election and I don’t believe we are at risk of this happening, but Trump can do his best to sabotage and suppress the vote and that’s exactly what he’s doing. Donald Trump has appointed Louis DeJoy to be Postmaster General of the United States. DeJoy just so happens to be a huge Trump donor who wants to see him reelected, and DeJoy has announced that he's going to eliminate overtime for hundreds of thousands of postal workers.
Changes like these to the post office will make the agency worse-off and less able to deliver mail efficiently. This is exactly what Trump wants to do in order to make his case against vote-by-mail. Trump wants to make the post office worse, so that he can argue against them and say they’re not prepared to help conduct the election. These are desperate tactics from a desperate Trump. We need to overwhelm the polls so much that these suppression tactics will not change the outcome of the election.
Dr Fauci BEGGING AMERICA to Listen to Science
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, is now pleading with Americans to listen to the medical and scientific communities. Fauci went on MSNBC and tried to plead with the public not to take hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus because the evidence doesn’t suggest it’s a good idea. The only reason Fauci has to do this is because Donald Trump has been promoting hydroxychloroquine for months and refuses to back down on it. Fauci’s ideology is public health and he wants to make sure people aren’t putting themselves at risk by listening to Trump over the science.
The obvious hypocrisy here is that the right has waged this battle against what they call “postmodernism” from the left. They claim the left thinks that words don’t mean anything anymore. Yet here, it’s the pro-hydroxy people who are playing fast and loose with the definitions. They are the ones who believe hydroxychloroquine works to treat the virus because of their feelings, even though it’s now against the broad consensus of the medical community. This all relates to backwards logic and the cult of personality behind Donald Trump.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Brags About His Reading Comprehension
Donald Trump had an interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios. Trump said during the interview that he reads a lot and comprehends what he reads “better than anyone [Swan] has interviewed in a long time.” This is yet another one of these Trump exaggerations that isn’t believe at all. I am not aware of a single book Donald Trump has read cover-to-cover. Anyone who really does have good reading comprehension skills talks about the subject matter of what they read. Trump can’t do that because he doesn’t actually read.
