@realDonaldTrump ¡ 21hThere is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed.
Cool that he is letting us know his plan in advance.

Trayce, he votes absentee himself. Nothing that he says publicly, ever, has anything to do with either a fact nor a genuine belief that he holds.

this has nothing to do with actual fraud, and is only about stopping people they do not want to vote from voting, and casting doubt and confusion over the voting process, so that if they lose, they can say it was due to fraud.

Compulsory voting probably favors incumbent parties and candidates even more than our model, because youâre encouraging the CGLOAF demographic to come out and vote.

Trump and McEnany said Trump had to vote by mail because he couldn't be in Florida to do it in person. Wrong. He was there for 2 full early voting days.

This executive order being issued against Twitter and Facebook today is quite a blindingly shiny infrastructure distraction (and in record time, it feels like).
http://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/politics/trump-twitter-social-media-executive-order/index.html
If I'm reading that right, it will allow lawsuits to go forward a lot easier.
But the order could quickly find itself in a thicket of legal and constitutional questions as the White House tests the boundaries of its authority.
What barriers slow down or stop executive orders?

This looks like a mistake, he has the balance on social media exactly in his favour right now, special rules for himself, but all unwritten so with plausible deniability. Facebook and Twitter got him into power, if Zuckerberg and Dorsey wanted to flex right now they could demonstrate this.OTOH I'd like to see Trump wriggle his way out of this sticky situation, etc.

Update on the nose/face showdown:
The president's clash with tech companies comes at a delicate moment. Unlike most American firms, these companies â which are used to working remotely and do not rely on physical locations for sales â have performed strongly throughout the pandemic and have helped to drive the stock market recovery.
Which is pretty much his be-all and end-all, no?

i don't really understand what he could do to twitter with an EO. if he holds the platforms responsible for what others publish on them -- as if they were "publications" -- then that would be the end of social media. the platforms would need to vet everything that is published on them, not just things that have been flagged.

I think the latter is just a happy bonus for the GOP, I genuinely don't think Trump himself is thinking even that deeply beyond being absolutely furious that he's told he can't say whatever he wants.
