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...

So Bibi has just handed Trump a minor boost.
Israel and UAE will normalize relations, in exchange Israel will suspend its annexation of chunks of the WB.  For how long is unclear, but I figured Netanyahu would hold off any annexation until after the election, as a favor to Trump.

I was meaning to write the other day that despite Israel being hardline on the Palestinians, this is mostly an era of fairly widespread acceptance for Israel, as Israel does quiet deals with the Saudis and Turks among others.  Basically Israel's strong anti-Iran policy has aligned it with the Sunni anti-Iran/anti-Shiite coalition.

Red bathes in the slime of a machine that needs him to think that despite around 1500 Americans dying a day and at least 1,000,000 jobs being destroyed every week the crap crew is somehow going to get a second run and extended chance to further destroy America.

He’s smoking Kiid’s crack pipe again. It’s neither pleasant nor convincing as dialogue, but the noises Red makes when he’s down and broken bode very well for The United States.

I think it is hilarious that the worst thing the right wing pro Trump web sites Red gets all of arguments and almost all of his words from can come up with to denigrate Harris is that she never gained traction in a crowded Democratic presidential field.

It's pretty funny.   His best hope is to poach some overzealous prosecutor of truancy critiques from the Left and pretend again he's joined the Left in caring about single parents of truant children.

It's funnier than I thought!

This is the best attack they've found:

Well, it worked for them 4 years ago: excite your base,.depress Democratic turnout. Thus, attacks that.range between racist dog whistles and racist fog horns and barely concealed sexism for Trumpettes, questioning her racial identity and stressing her prosecutorial record to depress enthusiasm of minorities. Trump needs African American voting to stay around 60% to win, and any little chip into that block helps - regardless of internal logic or consistency.

So after 3 1/2 years of boosting Trump's international deal-making, Trump finally gets a win when Netanyahu bestows an obviously political favor.

Israel is "suspending" some of its West Bank annexation plans?  Yeah?   For how long exactly?

If we equip the USPS to do their jobs, they will be able to handle mail-in voting, so better to block them from doing their job as well.

Good job, Trumpy. (Not!)

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he opposes much-needed funding for the United States Postal Service because he doesn't want to see it used for mail-in voting this November.

By directly linking USPS funding to mail-in voting, Trump is fueling allegations that he is trying to manipulate the postal system for political gain. The pandemic has led to record-shattering levels of voting-by-mail, but Trump has tried to restrict the voting method because he says it will hurt his re-election and Republicans across the board.

During an interview on Fox News, Trump said that if USPS does not receive the additional $25 billion funding request that Democrats included in the ongoing stimulus negotiations, then he believes the Post Office won't be able to handle the influx of mail-in ballots in the upcoming election.

"They want three and a half billion dollars for something that'll turn out to be fraudulent, that's election money basically. They want three and a half billion dollars for the mail-in votes. Universal mail-in ballots. They want $25 billion, billion, for the Post Office. Now they need that money in order to make the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump said, repeating his false claims that mail-in voting would be "fraudulent."

"But if they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting because you they're not equipped to have it," Trump added.

Rasmussen's approval/disapproval numbers for Trump are so biased that when they report "47% approve, 52% disapprove," FiveThirtyEight adjusts the numbers to "42% approve, 53% disapprove."

I think Trump is going to lose a lot of ground among the “suburban housewives.”

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.
