..which leaves out the Global Pandemic part.
I told you folks about face masks back when this all started, when you saw pictures of people in Asia wearing face masks- they were the ones who were contagious. The mask doesn't make you a social outcast, it just tells the rest of the crowd that you have the crud and you don't want to spread it around. Don't over-think this idea. Its mostly a nice form of social etiquette when you live in a high density population. |

It's good to see that some judges get it.

So Twitter adds a fact check to Trump's messages, Trump says it limits free speech, and now he wants to shut down social media.
After Twitter fact-check, Trump threatens to regulate or close down social media platforms. https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/27/af...dia-platforms/ Trump Threatens To Shut Down Social Media After Twitter Adds Warning To His Tweets. https://www.northcountrypublicradio....-to-his-tweets But Freeeeedom, i am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you But then i am all for that, i could live well without the asocial media Could Trump?

For example I didn't notice much criticism of Saint Cuomo ordering rest homes to take covid patients or Nancys invitation to come hang out in China town or the many other instances of Dems doing exactly what they accuse Trump of doing. "That’s what we’re trying to do today is to say everything is fine here. Come because precautions have been taken. The city is on top of the situation." - Nancy Pelosi on Feb 24th telling people worried about possible infestion to come to San Francisco. |

I do not know how your vote by mail works.
Vote by mail in Denmark can only be done in one of our many public places These vote by mail is then picked up by some type of courier(if I remember correctly) and not the ordinary postman since those vote is considered secret. And some other things. Such as they have been put in a box with a locker on and only the receiver have the key It is therefor very unlikely they could be stolen or altered with. How is the procedure in USA. What happens after an American have used this option vote by mail. Reason to why I ask Is if Trump is correct in what he have stated on Twitter Markus |

The vote by mail they are talking about here is the exact opposite. They will mail a ballot to you at home or party HQ or wherever you have listed as your mailing address. Assuming it arrives on time or at all you fill it out, possibly with a party representative looking over your shoulder or maybe even filling it out for you, and then you (or somebody) drops it in any regular US Post Office mail box. See the potential problem with this setup? |

I vote by mail, have done so for 20+ years. I get a mail in ballot about 30 days prior to the election. I have a whole month to research the issues and check out the candidates. 3 or 4 days before the election I sit down and fill out the ballot, I sign and seal it. It then sits on my desk until election day when I or my wife will take it down to our designated polling place and drop it off. I could mail it in or drop it at the county recorder's office early, but then it might get lost or misplaced.

Well then Trump could be right. Some more information about voting by mail in Denmark A Danish citizen can vote by mail in the following places: 1. The population registers and citizen services in all municipalities 2. In hospitals 3. In nursing homes, sheltered housing and in elderly homes 4. In prisons, detention centers, etc. 5. In one's own home if you cannot leave your home due to illness 6. On remote islands 7. Abroad As you can see in point 5, only a person who are ill can vote from home and here this person need two witness-Two person s/he doesn't know. And this box with all these ballot is send by courier A vote by mail in Denmark is not the same as the ordinary election day. On this day there will be thousands of polling stations around the country. Markus |

Trump just plays the distraction game currently, may it be HongKong, may it be Twitter, may it be email voting. All that is not really his cause, its a classical distraction manouver only. He has gotten wonderful - superficially seen - economy numbers being vaporised by Corona and replaced with the worst still unfolding economic recession ever, exploding unemployment, gallopping money devaluation - and thus now must seriously fear to lose elections. The main - since it is the only - project of this administration is in danger, and this project is: TRUMP.

I wonder what percentage of voters were Republicans who Cuomo permanently disenfranchised by sending covid-19 into the nursing homes? I wonder if that occurred to him during his decision making process? Cuomo's either a dumb @ss, or he's ruthless.
