oh, wait. It's time to procrastinate on mail-in voting. Oh, what about that burger and fries? Anyone want to go golfing with me? What the hell is Melania doing with those security men? I've got Newt on the phone and I've got to put Putin on hold. Will someone get me Bill Barr? Where's my Diet Coke? And why didn't my doc get me a refill on Adderall? Will someone tell Kayleigh to stop spending so much time doing her make-up? KellyAnn never took this much time. Where's KellyAnn anyway? Hey Jared! Someone wants to know about that health care item that you were working on. Can you tear yourself away from the Israeli-Palestinian Solution for a minute and give me your paper on the health care program?

God, I'm so busy. I'm working at night and I'm working the moment I get up. When will I get a break. Can Mitch send me off on a month's vacation like he's doing with the Senate? Those goddamn Democrats. I'll see to it that they all will suffer after the election. I've got plans for them. They wish they'd never challenge me. I'll bury them.

Trump thinks he can rule over the states. He forgets that the 10th Amendment gives states authority to run their elections how they see fit according to their State Constitutions.

Damn! Is this man DUMB!

I hope they finally mention John Yoo! For god's sake, this is a big story. Nobody's paying attention, or else they dismiss it because He would never do that, it's illegal, it's unconstitutional! Oh my!

Maybe he can. That's what he will try. I think.

Right now he is trying to speed up lower classes of mail, as I understand it, 2nd and third class packages and do that to the detriment of first class mail. However the law still says first class is first class and goes first. Those mail in ballots are first class, so legally they can't be held up, as soon as a post office gets them they get priority. He thinks he can issue an EO to stop one type of identifiable first class mail? A mail-in ballot.
(Because most mail in ballots contain info on the outside that they are ballots.)

Putin is teaching him well. Dictator moves.
