I swear, if I had a the chance, I’d take Trump’s phone and ram it down his throat.
Now, the president does not have the power to do this. The Election Date is set by Federal Law as the NY Times has promptly said in reaction to this insane, basically criminal tweet.
As the Times says, in an earlier article, (via a link in the one I posted):
The date of the general election is set by federal law and has been fixed since 1845. It would take a change in federal law to move that date. That would mean legislation enacted by Congress, signed by the president and subject to challenge in the courts
Obviously, Speaker Pelosi’s answer to this would be something along the lines of “FUCK YOU DONALD!” although the Speaker would never actually use such language.
Trump and the GOP need to be beaten to an unrecognizable pulp in November. Every single American with a brain and some sanity needs to absolutely rebel against this tweet.
Some early comments to this diary is that it’s just more distraction. That might be so, but this needs to be squashed in every way possible. Trump thinks he is all powerful as President. We know he is not. He needs to be pummeled about this. He isn’t capable of some five dimensional chess. I want him destroyed. I want him left as a pile of ashes. Absolute, screaming, yelling, cursing comedentation of even having this idea needs to come at him like an avalanche.
