“Some writers popular on the militant right had been warning that wars don’t always start with a clear, decisive event—an attack, a coup, an invasion—and that you might not realize you’re in one until it’s underway.”
“The election is over. But pro-Trump media outlets are helping Trump spin the narrative that it isn’t.”
“Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to account for population changes. This gives whoever is drawing the maps the power to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering.”
Tucker Carlson is not a credible source for news. Fox News and a US Federal District Court Judge appointed by Donald Trump agree.
This collapse of a major political party as a moral governing force is unlike anything we have seen in modern American politics.
What we know now is that there are two Americas separated by very different visions of both the present and the future. Trump’s America is angry and in a mood to keep tearing down the institutions it feels have turned against it. Biden’s country is aghast that there are people who don’t see the very different future it does.
In a secretly recorded meeting with his top advisors, Donald Trump loses it when he finds out that Joe Biden has won the 2020 Presidential Election.
Donald Trump’s call to stop the counting of votes and his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud are an attack on democracy.
Dishonesty has been a defining hallmark of the Trump presidency. The sheer volume of untruths, both petty and profound, has been cataloged and quantified time and again, the subject of a shelf full of books and endless hand-wringing over the “post-truth” world.
After polls close in the US presidential election, it could take days or even weeks to find out if Donald Trump or Joe Biden has won. In this election, millions more Americans have been voting by post because of coronavirus, meaning a delay in counting all the votes is highly likely.
Many non-voters do not have faith in the election system and doubt the impact of their own votes. They engage less with news and feel uninformed.
The outrageous hypocrisy of the attack on the Biden family as a “criminal organization” appears to be lost on Trump’s supporters.
We need a president who understands the importance of American leadership, at home and abroad. We need a leader of integrity whose decency and sense of respect reflects the values we expect from our president. We need a president for all Americans, not just half of America.
Sasse, who did not vote for Trump in 2016, offered an honest and revealing assessment of the President. In fact, most of Sasse’s criticisms of Trump are the same ones made by some of Trump’s most vocal critics.
Trump and his supporters claim that cities and suburbs will burn in violence if Joe Biden wins. But Trump is the one that has no interest in promoting peace.
“Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment.”
What does this all mean for the 2020 election? One can presume that pollsters have learned from the 2016 election. Polling has generally become more accurate over time. However, polling is still an imprecise science and surprises are possible. Biden will likely win on November 3rd. But he might not.
The Catholic Church does not require or even encourage faithful Catholics to vote for Donald Trump. A discerning Catholic should not.
Over 3½ years in office, he has presided over a sweeping U.S. government retreat from the front lines of civil rights, endangering decades of progress against voter suppression, housing discrimination and police misconduct.
He uses scare tactics about “law and order.” But what distinguishes this White House is its ties to criminals.
Donald Trump left our country unprepared and unprotected for the worst public health and economic crisis in our lifetime — and now we’re paying the price.
The president tried to use his power to coerce a foreign leader to discredit a political opponent- a violation of the Constitution and profoundly immoral.
The success of Stone, Corsi, and Papadopoulos in selling stories about their persecution by the deep state suggests that the conspiracy theories will be harder to do away with.
