September 2, 2020: Make America Felonious Again

 

9/2/20: The stock market is on a roll – which Mr. Trump will be happy to report. We’re racking up COVID-19 cases, too, which he’d prefer not to mention. 

According to the CDC, we’re still averaging 42,000 plus new cases per day, in the last week. 

There are countries that are doing much better. Germany had 1,218 cases on September 1. Adjusted for population, that would be about a tenth of what the U.S. is trying to cope with daily. 

Italy had 975, equivalent to one seventh of the caseload we see. 

South Korea had 267, a terrible day by Korean standards. Our caseload is roughly 28 times worse.

APPARENTLY, the American people still aren’t too happy with the President of the United States. 

With 63 days left until the election, the polls – for Don and the Republicans, more generally – look grim.

IF POLL NUMBERS look bleak, Tin Pot Don has a plan to sweep to victory in November. At a campaign stop in North Carolina, he explains that the Democrats are plotting to steal the election. To make sure they don’t get away with their plot, he tells his MAGA crew to be sure to get their mail-in ballots, fill them out, and send them in in a timely fashion. Then, if “they” don’t tabulate those votes – Trump doesn’t say exactly who the “they” are – the MAGA crew should protect their “precious right to vote” by going to the polls in person and voting twice. 

What could possibly go wrong with this brilliant plan? 

For instance, suppose you mailed in your ballot with little time to spare. On Election Day it’s still sitting in a pile to be counted. Clerks will catch up in a few days. But you haul your dumb MAGA ass down to the polls. It appears your mail-in vote has not been counted. Duh. You vote again. 

And when “they” do tabulate the mail-in ballots later? Well, voting twice happens to be a felony in North Carolina.

MAKE AMERICA FELONIOUS AGAIN.

 

 

FUN FACT – RUSSIANS: We know Trump may get a boost again, in 2020, with a little help from Russians. U.S. intelligence agencies warned against interference designed to harm the Biden campaign in a report ready in July.

 

FUN FACT – MORE RUSSIANS: Trump’s political pals, in charge of overseeing U.S. intelligence, blocked release of that report until the free press pried the truth out of their mouths two months later.
