USPS has been awful here too.

We moved end of May. I had my change of address in well in advance. Something time sensitive came the other day that was sent end of May. It now just got forwarded. I got a new credit card and the original never came. I had to call and get a new one.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

QuoteWith Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Go back a few years on this thread...I'll reiterate for those not listening...he's not leaving voluntarily. Even if there's no mail in votes he'll come up with some other voter fraud conspiracy.

Interesting constituitional question.  Per the 20th Amendment:

The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

There could be an argument to be made that, if the election was not held, that the terms of Trump and Pence would still end on January 20, 2021.  And, there could be a few different Constitutional remedies:

1. Per the 12th Amendment, if a President is not elected through the Electoral College, the House of Representatives shall elect the President (One vote per state).

2. Per the Presidential Succession Act (1792, revised several times since), the Speaker of the House is in line after the vice president, and would become the Acting President.

I'm no Constitutional scholar, but my basic understanding of the above would lead me to think that the effect of delaying an election may not have the consequence intended by Trump.

If the election doesn't happen on schedule, there will be much bigger questions than these, like what to do with all the bodies.

True.

Unfortunately, I wonder that as well.  Signs are all there.

Not gonna happen.  I'm sure that tweet wasn't a distraction from the calamitous GDP news either.
