US Presidential Elections 2020 - News & Updates

That's what happens when you move the Democrats from New Orleans to Houston, New Orleans corruption

I think it just depends anywhere, when Roger Keaton was running for office for mayor, he wanted to add additional 32 Alderman other than that, he honestly had no other plan to improve Chicago's quality for people, and he complained about taxes, but in his campaign he didn't truly have a plan/idea to help reduce taxes.
Toni Preckwinkle the only thing that made her truly popular was her sturdy stance against increasing property and sales tax in the City of Chicago, overhaul the worker's compensation program and increasing minimum wage $15 an hour, but literally that was it, and only the Hyde Park and surrounding areas supported here.

Lightfoot maybe ignorant and not as progressive as she promised to be, however Lightfoot has done a lot and I mean a lot more for the City of Chicago and Chicagoans.
for example, for the Workers compensation program, she hired an outside firm to run/audit the program to rid it from Alderman Ed Burke who was corrupted to the core, which he didn't help prevent fraud, abuse and the city had ~1,300 open cases because of him that should of been settled, some even decades ago. a lot of people applauded her for this.
Lightfoot is also been pushing hard for a Casino, to be located on the West or South Side, last year it didn't go anywhere, now a couple companies are "eyeing the proposal again"

Lightfoot also launched the TBI (Troubled Building Initiative) which is to help people in troubled areas such as Englewood and Pilsen, build affordable housing complexes/houses, help new small businesses start, as well as renovating vacant buildings so they can bring in new businesses.
INVEST South/West is part of the TBI, however Austin, North Lawndale, and Englewood are the main targeted communities, in which they are planning to renovate buildings for affordable housing, to renovate/uplift for new retail stores/small businesses.

she also planned to increase/better police-community relations and so far it's going ok, considering the community safety team has improved some relations with families on the West sides especially, the District Coordination Officers have just began with 100 officers, launched the Officer Support System (OSS) which helps officers who are facing a mental health crisis, but also allows the Dept. to follow/keep an eye on the actual corrupt officers, the new Probationary Police program which allows officers to tackle crime faster using the new advanced tech the city is getting as well as acting as a community safety team to aim an improve relations again.

Lightfoot helped also increased Outreach Street Programs to help people get out of the gangs/crime-related problems, the READI program so far have helped at least ~2,000 men get out of the gangs, receive theraphy and better their lives.

and the list goes on, I'm still not a major lightfoot supporter, but she has done a lot of accomplishments the other 2 (Keaton and Preckwinkle)

Don't have much time now but to keep it brief:

1.) Trump's strategy was to lament Biden as part of a so called radical left, but he was ineffective at it. He tried to also lament Biden as beholden to so called radical left on race issues, which he had a little success in.

2.) Trump tried to heavily interrupt Biden and he had no arguments of substance for most part, instead tried push a populist tone but at same time he seems sort of hesitant to commit to populism because than he will have gone out of control and will lose support of Republican party.

3.) Biden started off unsure of how to deal with Trump's interruptions in the beginning but he quickly readjusted and delivered tons of blows to Trump's, a combination of facts , clear details on his plans and just enough of very effective rhetoric towards Trump. He made Trump look defeated and nervous at some points.

4.) Biden did an effective job on establishing himself as an traditional Democrat not too left and did a effective job at lamenting Trump as a foolish and bad person, as well as leader.

5.) Trump once again shows he is willing to incite violence by rejecting election results and he is trying to establish strong argument for rejecting election results which shows he is not confident in his ability to win and is almost already conceding victory to Biden but wants to find a legal way around it and if not nobody knows what illegal methods he will resort to. So he is hurting himself with this. And I won't be surprised if his administration put on table a short term war with Iran to keep him in power than abandoning our gulf allies afterwards.

So short term , selfish mindset is affecting him and our standing as a country.

He can try to turn this around by pledging to accept election results and focusing on topics like taxes/infrastructure/economy and admit he messed with up with covid early on but now is working to fix that and do better. Otherwise he tries taking up risk of going full blown populist and the risks that will come with it.

Biden other hand was organized and knew which topics to hit on. Trump is not effective at whatever strategy Republican party is trying to get him to adopt and he is bordering on populism which is hurting him.

Hillary Clinton says Biden should not concede the election 'under any circumstances'

The former Democratic presidential nominee predicted Republicans could try to “mess up absentee balloting” for a narrow advantage in the Electoral College.

Hillary Clinton still hasn't conceded that she lost the 2016 election, along with half the Democrat Party, it was the Russians, and if they lose this time it will be the Post Office

Skip to 1:31:40 for Trump position, 1:33:00 for Biden's position and compare/contrast.


All you need to know, Biden gave his position on the election results.

 

[space cadet]

Did he give his position on the corruption with him and his son? That's what everyone really wants to know.

Everyone wants Trump to release his tax returns.

I forgot, that's where the magical evidence to prove Russia collusion is, that's right...

The corruption always continues as long as people are willing to look the other way for their side

An embarrassing week for Trump supporters and rest of America to say the least. And it's getting crazier by the day.

Why is that? Did his son get caught taking 1.5 Billion from the Chinese for reasons that no one can explain, including his son.

You must have been living under a rock, Trump is increasingly showing signs of erratic behavior due to him sensing a defeat in the upcoming election. He has downplayed the coronavirus, asked for Biden/Obama to be arrested, got infected with coronavirus himself, get's hospitalized than does a drive by to wave at fans and endangering the secret service employees, discharges himself too early and does a bizarre propaganda video with him landing back at the white house as some kind of hero, tweeting erratically urging people to vote in 20 post threads, pledging to not accept the election results and try to implicate the system as rigging the election against him, trashing Fox news hosts that support him, halting talks on stimulus reliefs and pledging to approve them after he gets reelected, etc.....

It is self sabotaging behavior and he is showing extreme desperation and extreme worry of him not being reelected and he is coming off as self centered and only caring about himself. So whether you see or don't, the country does and the whole country, right or left has covered this. And Fox News and the Republicans agree it is self sabotaging behavior.

No one cares about Joe Biden's son as he is not the candidate running for President and Trump is peddling a lie he heard from Rudy Giuliani. Meanwhile if you care about financial corruption you should look at Trump who paid 750$ in taxes and refuses to release his tax returns while Joe Biden released them and paid millions in taxes in those two years.

Do you think the the mail ballots would be just for either party? Or a fraud for the benefit of the otherside of the house?

Voter Fraud Is a Right-Wing Fiction​

Republicans claim voting by mail will lead to fraud. But a Montana federal judge’s groundbreaking ruling says that’s a bogus argument.​

Lawyers for President Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican Party are pulling out all the stops to make it hard to vote this fall. They’ve pinned their case on the fantasy that voting by mail—a safe approach to casting ballots in the midst of a pandemic—will lead to widespread voter fraud.

Unfortunately for these legal humbugs, the facts keep catching up with them. That’s what has happened in Montana, where, this week, ballots are being mailed to hundreds of thousands of registered voters after a federal judge issued a groundbreaking decision that the GOP’s voter-fraud story line is “a fiction.” That’s not just one jurist’s opinion; on Thursday, the US Supreme Court rejected a last-minute appeal by Republican lawyers to reverse it.

At a point when the president and his minions have been working in states across the country to upend voting by mail, Montana is sending a clear signal that has national consequences—legally and politically. “The Court’s decision is the first in the country that follows a full trial on efforts to undermine mail ballots,” notes the office of Montana Governor Steve Bullock. “The Court rejected all of the claims against Montana’s early voting and mail ballot option.”

Republicans have been desperate to rig Montana’s voting to favor embattled Republican Senator Steve Daines. A cipher of a senator, Daines is best known for silencing Senator Elizabeth Warren during a debate on Trump’s nomination of Jeff Sessions for attorney general. Before Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell joined in with his infamous announcement—“She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted”—it was Daines, sitting as the presiding chair of the Senate, who interrupted Warren’s reading of a letter Coretta Scott King had written about Sessions. That interruption set in motion a process that would eventually see Daines prevent Warren from completing her speech, curtly declaring from the chair, “The senator will take her seat.”


Daines is now locked in a tight reelection race with Bullock, a popular Democrat who has won three statewide elections. If Bullock beats Daines, there’s a real prospect that Democrats could flip the Senate and oust McConnell as majority leader. That’s made Montana a mission-critical state for the Republican voter-suppression machine.

The GOP’s legal strategy in Montana—as in a number of other states that have seen preelection litigation—embraced Trump’s debunked critique of voting by mail and sought to upend the process by blocking the vast majority of Montana counties from using the US Postal Service to conduct this fall’s election.


In response to the threat to voter safety posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Montana’s 56 counties conducted the state’s June primary by mail. And, as it became clear that Covid-19 remained a threat, Bullock issued an August emergency declaration that suspended a state law that prevented fall general elections from being conducted on an all-mail basis. The governor’s move drew an immediate response from the GOP. The president’s reelection campaign, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Republican National Committee, and the Montana Republican State Central Committee filed suit to block voting by mail. The Republican Speaker of the Montana House and the Republican president of the Montana Senate joined in, as did county parties and candidates. High-powered lawyers associated with out-of-state law firms assembled to press the party’s case.

When they got in front of the judge, however, everything fell apart. Asked to provide evidence of voter fraud in Montana, the Republicans had nothing, and US District Judge Dana Christensen rejected their complaint. “When pressed during the hearing in this matter, the plaintiffs were compelled to concede that they cannot point to a single instance of voter fraud in Montana in any election during the last 20 years,” wrote the federal judge, who noted, “Importantly, Montana’s use of mail ballots during the recent primary election did not give rise to a single report of voter fraud.”

So this week, the 45 Montana counties that have chosen to go with voting by mail will dispatch ballots to registered voters.

Despite the president’s lies and the disingenuous interventions of Republican legal fantasists, the court’s ruling has enabled Montana to hold an election where votes can be cast safely, says Bullock, who argues, “There is nothing more sacred in our democracy than the right to vote, and no duty of government more important than to keep its citizens safe.”

In short, it is a baseless ploy from the Republicans that will not bear any fruit. Country is moving on with our elections.
