Republicans are trying to invalidate about 100.000 cast votes in texas, in a Democratic county.

Nothing surprises me about the dirty tricks that the Republicans will try and use in this election, and coincidently just last night I watched the film, "All The Presidents Men" and this was obviously about the Watergate event and it mirrors so much of what has been going on in this last presidency as to be untrue!

 

You may recall that the Republicans had a slush fund that they had been using for years to undermine the Democrats in any way they could, false news, a false letter incriminating a democratic candidate, disrupting rallies and so on, and whilst it was initially thought the Watergate break-in was separate from any of the hierarchy in the Republicans, it subsequently turned out that.............

 

Links were uncovered between the initial break-in and a subsequent cover-up that implicated the US Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA and eventually the White House. 

When it was discovered that this went right the way to the top with Nixon, he had to resign.

Fast forward more than 40 years and you have a corrupt president (misappropriating funds from charities to pay his bills) and a compulsive liar, surrounded by cohorts, some of whom have been jailed for their lying and nefarious activities, and strange and unproven stories of a computer hard drive which supposedly incriminates the Democrats.

Sound familiar??? And it seems like the Republicans just cannot play by the rules, as witnessed by their choice of president.

I sincerely hope that the early turnout does result in a Biden/Harris victory, and that in amongst all of this the votes cast in Texas are not invalidated, and of course that once this dumb, lying president is removed, he can be prosecuted for his many misdemeanours.

Mistakes were made early in the pandemic when people were desperately trying to avoid overwhelming the hospitals and the means of transmission were poorly understood. 

 

Democratic governors learned from those mistakes.  Republican governors did not.  That's why nine of the ten states with the highest infection rates have Republican governors.   https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109004/coronavirus-covid19-cases-rate-us-americans-by-state/

Infection rates do not equal deaths. C'mon folks, do try to keep up.

A post trying to support its argument with a link to an extreme right wing source, with an appalling track record on honesty and disinformation, and also with a major track record in conspiracy theories has been removed.

I am stunned that anyone could believe such offerings, let alone offer them as evidence.

EDIT: A reply to the removed post has been removed along with subsequent bickering.

Hospitalizations are shooting up. Deaths are rising.

C'mon folk, do try to keep up.

Death rates don't go up until a few weeks after a surge in infections.  Deaths are beginning to go up again.   https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/us-daily-deaths

Geez, Biden may go down as the least articulate candidate in history.  Not helping him at the polls.
