"SNIP....

“President Trump declared a national emergency over the coronavirus pandemic Friday as public life in America continued to grind to a halt. Trump’s announcement sent the Dow soaring nearly 2,000 points,” the Washington Post reports.

New York Times: “He also gave broad new authority to the health secretary, Alex Azar, who he said would now be able to waive provisions to give doctors and hospitals more flexibility to respond to the virus, including making it easier to treat people remotely.”

But when asked if he took responsibility for the U.S. lag in testing, Trump said: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

1. And soon.. somehow, however it comes about....no election...

Nobody believes me whenever I say this,, which is only occasionally,,,

3. Every source I've read

said that Trump has zero power to cancel elections. They’re held by individual states. If a few Trump red states don’t want to hold the election then fine. Biden in a landslide.

8. People will quote "the rule of law" to you, as if Trump will follow

the rule of law. Coups happen, despite whatever laws a country has.

I know why you don't say it often. It's the same reason I don't say it often, but I think so too. I have been thinking it since Day 1 of this miserable experience of having Trump as president. They have no clue. They are thinking things will go by the law. Things ALREADY are not going by the law. He is getting away with everything. I wouldn't put it past him.

9. Glad to find another true believer...

Sad that it is true...
