And by the way, where is REDSTATEWARD and his arguments about how States need to be left alone to conduct elections as they please after Trump has admitted that he opposes adequate funding of the US Postal Service so that they can not deliver mail-in ballots?

No comment on that, for some reason...
Reason?
The comment made no sense.

What doesn't make sense to you REDSTATEWARD?  You need me to connect the dots for you? 

You've argued here a number of times that it should be left to the states to decide how to conduct their elections, particularly regarding the mail-in ballot issue.  Now Trump has declared that he is resisting adequately funding the USPS so that they can not deliver or need to delay the delivery of mail-in ballots.  This is the Federal Government explicitly determining how States conduct their elections.

But for some reason you have still not stated after commenting on the issue, your arguments for States rights here seem to have departed.
Your apples and kumquat mixture is making you quite nonsensical.

Either stupid, on payroll or cult member.
So you discount the possibility of stupid cult member on the payroll? Because I don't.

Damn!

Or alternatively you are refusing to address the obvious contradiction because you don't have an adequate response.

When it was suggested that Congress include financial aid to States in the COVID relief bill to ensure smooth elections during the pandemic, your response was "Congress can't tell States how to conduct their elections."

When Trump denies the USPS adequate funding for the express purpose of denying States the ability to efficiently conduct mail-in voting, your response is "apples and kumquats, whuuut?"

You don't actually need to explain, REDSTATEWARD.  We get you.

Quote
A federal judge in Pennsylvania told the Trump campaign and the Republican Party that they must produce evidence they have of vote-by-mail fraud in the state by Friday.

The judge's order, in a high-profile case about vote-by-mail in the battleground state, essentially forces the Trump campaign to try to back up President Donald Trump's false claims about massive voter fraud in postal voting.

"The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case," District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club, which are part of the lawsuit.

The Democrats had asked for information and documents that would show steps the Republicans took to study the possibility of fraud, especially related to the use of dropboxes, ballot collection and mailed-in ballots in the primary elections.

The Trump campaign and Republicans had refused to do so. But with Thursday's court order, they must answer questions from the Democratic groups and turn over records of communications -- or say they have none. The Trump campaign has until Friday to respond, the judge said.

Pennsylvania Democrats wrote to the court Wednesday. The Democrats have called the Trump lawsuit an attempt to stoke fears about unproven fraud related to mail-in voting in the battleground state.

The Trump campaign "should not be permitted to raise such spectacular fraud related claims, particular in this national climate," lawyers representing the Democrats wrote.

Ilhan Omar handily won the Democratic Party primary for Minnesota’s 5th District, encompassing Minneapolis and some of its suburbs. ... winning by 57% to 39% for her rival, Antone Melton-Meaux, whose campaign was funded in part by a usually pro-Republican organization of the Israel Lobbies.

Nearly a 20 pt win -- whatever happened to rightwing claims she was in trouble, on the brink of losing, and the significance of the Star Tribune endorsing her opponent?

Trump just torpedoed the Durham investigation and he is trying to use his executive power to cripple the post office and enhance his election efforts.

He’s gone full blown Generalissimo
