Interesting.
In the European Union, 63% have put a ban on mailing in ballots except for citizens living overseas. Another 22% have imposed a ban even for those overseas. And most of those that allow mail-in ballots require some form of photo ID to get one, according to the report from the Crime Prevention Research Center shared with Secrets. βThese countries have learned the hard way about what happens when mail-in ballots arenβt secured. They have also discovered how hard it is to detect vote buying when both those buying and selling the votes have an incentive to hide the exchange,β said author John R. Lott, the centerβs president.
You realize that Trump is all for mail in votes in states where they benefit him right?
He potentially fucked up big time in Florida turning his own supporters against mail voting in a state where a lot of rep votes are made that way (including his own).
Maybe someone should have made him a four colour bar chart? -
"Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True. Floridaβs Voting system has been cleaned up (we defeated Democrats attempts at change), so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail! #MAGA"
So in other words, Vote by Mail is Bad and ought to be illegal unless it's being done by Republicans in which case it is excellent and to be encouraged. He is suing to stop absentee voting in Democrat-leaning Nevada at the same time as he is encouraging it in Republican-leaning Florida. He's really draining that swamp.

What a dangerous road to lead a country down.
When I spoke with my strongly Republican friend last weekend, they were all piss and vinegar about How heβs right blah blah blah. They donβt seem to get that - at some stage - the Dems will get back in power, and then any door that has been opened By Trump can be used by them.
Itβs the same silliness that Dems didnβt get about using executive orders to govern.
That country. Holy shit.

I said the same thing to my US family about Obama using drones to kill people without congress approval, and to spy on US citizens. My exact wording is you might like this guy, but what about the next guy.

π¨π¨ POTUS: "I have a lot of enemies out there. This may be the last time you see me for a while... a lot of very, very rich enemies, but they are not happy with what I'm doing but I figure we have one chance to do it and no other President is gonna do what I do.."

He's full of shit and you need to stop slurping the Kool Aid. Trump recently warned that Biden will take away your guns and he is against God and the Bible.
Biden is a practicing Roman Catholic who regularly attends church, despite his little show a couple of months ago Donald Trump is not a member of any church in Washington DC or anywhere apparently

I wouldn't read much into it. When Trump starts a sentence at the moment I don't think he knows how he's going to end it or what words he'll use.

They should stage their debates in the local rest home. Just after ice cream and jelly time

I'd imagine the next thing we'll hear will be some Democrats talking about punishing those who voted for Trump.

Its clumsy isn't it. Why not wait until after the election? I'm sure Biden's team aren't happy

Maybe? Or maybe just because they are a registered charity that is corrupt?
Canβt claim tax advantages and not be under the eye of a watchdog.

This is kind of the problem in a nutshell isn't it. If we do it it's fine, if they do it's terrible - even if it's the same fucking thing.
When you have a 'leader' like that, of course you're going to make things more and more polarised, and promote the stupid at either end of the spectrum. -
@Frank said in US Politics:
Biden's strategy of hiding away is working quite well.
I think Trump will try to force Biden to come out and start campaigning.
Trump should start going on the liberal networks and attacking him.
This will force Biden to respond.I still think Trump is in trouble unless he starts showing a bit more humility and focus (not a lot, but a little). Copying the meaningless platitudes of Biden would be a good start. Control the wild tweets and tie Joe Biden to the radical left - relentlessly.
Frank, I don't really understand how you can continue to think that Trump is smart enough, or disciplined enough to have a change of tactics. He has one setting, and that's it. He's been persuaded / attempted to change his presentation quite a few times now, and he keeps it up for all of about 15 minutes before reverting to type, every single time. So as to your suggestions: He will attack. He will not show humility or focus. He will not control the wild tweets. He will try to tie all and sundry to the radical left.
It's not exactly a complex psychological puzzle to figure out what he's going to do, the man is a moron. -

A swamp that needs drained?I did hear a report that this action against the NRA is a result of a 6 year investigation into dodgy dealings.
NRA seems to be an organisation that represents a concept (right to bear arms) but has a deeper agenda.
Sounds familiar.
