    Other attorney’s?

    Based on your reaction, It’s my guess you’re already bracing for the mother of all bunker buster bombshells (Michael Cohen’s new book ‘Disloyal) set to be released on September 8th in which
    he describes golden showers, to tax fraud, to deals with corrupt officials from the former Soviet Union.

    This time there's nowhere for Trump to hide, not even in his concrete bunker below the white house

    Trump has started removing mail sorting machines from the post offices and distribution centers. That will slow the mail way down. Trump has also started removing collection boxes in remote western towns. That should force rural people to keep driving around until the find a place to deposit the ballot. What do you suppose Trump is thinking of? Or afraid of?

    No Piney, the election is now not in some future date down the road. If Trump was pushing modernity he would have supported online voting or universal mail in ballots.

    Of all things by which to be remembered, Trump wants it to be the subsistence checks he gave to the farmers.

    Trump has an ability to take groups like the U.S. farmers who were once proud to be self-sufficient and transform them to ones that are now proud to receive what amounts to welfare checks from him that to try to mitigate the damage he did to them with his trade wars and hapless coronavirus response.

    Moreover, Trump supporters say they will vote him in for a second term because they think he is ending welfare and relieving their tax burden.

    They harbor this affection for him after three years of trillion dollar per year deficits stemming from money borrowed via corporate tax cuts to juice the economy during prosperity (before the coronavirus even struck) and after Trump stated a mistaken perception during the 2016 campaign that he could somehow eliminate a $20 trillion national debt in eight years by reducing the trade deficit.

    Any politician given 3 trillion of borrowed money can sugar-coat the economy during prosperity and make himself look good temporarily.

    Especially Trump who has bragged about being the King Of Debt. He is known for suing his creditors after failing to pay them what he owed to the extent that American banks would no longer deal with him. It forced him to rely on foreign sources such as Deutsche.

    Trump is also well known for not paying his own bills, often suing contractors and service people instead of paying the bill for what he wanted.

    Trump has invoked national emergencies to obtain what he wants, such as his border wall financed by the U.S. taxpayers which wasn't even an emergency and not even supported by Republicans in Congress (Trump even shut down the government in 2017 because of it).

    Yet he won't invoke an emergency to assist the USPS in a high priority dilemma where voters are disadvantaged in the upcoming 2020 election because of the coronavirus, one of the worst pandemics of the century.

    Trump has done the opposite by making remarks on Fox News that sounded like he would veto a bill that included assistance to the USPS, a claim that he later walked back on in his usual undecided, wishy-washy approach that depends like a wind vane on whatever group he happens to addressing at the moment whose vote he thinks he can garner.

    Trump should be declared a national emergency.

    Trump is still holding a grudge against the USPS because he thinks it is giving Amazon special treatment. He is still holding a grudge against Amazon because it is run by Jeff Bezos who has much more money than Trump and who owns the Washington Post which annoys Trump.

    His current attack on the USPS is strictly about voting by mail... He's not worried about anything except getting re-elected right now. He will use any trick in the book to make that happen.

    And the whole thing with mail box removal is illegal in many states. Some states are launching civil lawsuits against the postmaster general for delaying ballots, which is a crime.

    Best thing about state convictions is that Trump can not pardon them for that.

    Exclusive: UPS, FedEx warn they cannot carry ballots like U.S. Postal Service

    excerpt:

    "“State ballots must be postmarked to be considered valid and only the USPS has lawful postmarking status. Therefore UPS, FedEx and other private parties cannot technically be involved in shipping ballots,” UPS told Reuters in a statement.

    “FedEx does accept individual ballots, and we advise that customers planning to return their ballots via FedEx should closely review their state’s guidelines on absentee voting and deadlines for ballots or related election documents,” FedEx said."
