"Originalist" Judges Decide Minnesota Voters Rights

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The scenario: Two Republican electors go to the two Trump appointed Federal judges on their appellate court in order to block(what else is new)the voters from having their mailed-in ballots count if they arrive after the post marked date on the ballot even though they were mailed in on time. The two "originalist" judges approve the ban because "the constitution does not provide a pandemic exception." The third judge dissents to no avail.
There you have it, yup there's no pandemic exception in the constitution. Nevermind they didn't even know what a pandemic is when they wrote the constitution. How about pre-flight federal regulations requiring pre-flight inspections before you board your next flight. They're not in the constitution either. Better ban those, too...

How Trump's Favorite Barometer, The Stock Market, Fared...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Just days ahead of the election, one of President Trump’s favorite indicators took a dive."
"Stocks wrapped up October with their worst week since March, as investors grew fearful of rising coronavirus infections and the impact on public health and the economy."
Here's how the market did since Reagan:

New USA Record: 88,500 Trumptoids Infected In One Day!

It might be a tough concept for you to grasp, so I'll try to make it simple for you. 

When you test MORE people, you FIND MORE people who have it.

See how that works?  
Oh, like they did in Florida where DeSantis curtailed testing after meeting with Atlas but despite that, "At the moment, the nation is experiencing another surge of illness. Daily case numbers are reaching levels not seen since late July, and Florida is starting to see its numbers go up as well." "If Atlas and DeSantis' advocacy in Florida is, in fact, responsible for the state's testing decrease, that would be in keeping with the wishes of Trump, who for months has falsely suggested that the US has so many coronavirus cases only because it conducts so many tests. In June, Trump even said publicly that he wanted to "slow the testing down, please."   ""There's no question more people are going to die," says Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber, a critic of DeSantis' approach to testing and other matters of the governor's pandemic management. "We are flying blind without tests."

How does that work?

Do they just look at someone and say "I think he has coronavirus"?  

Maybe they give off a certain odor??  

Is that how it works? 

If they aren't testing, explain how they are finding new cases.
In your bizzaro world logic, they shouldn't be testing so they won't find new cases, but, obviously the contagion is spreading prodigiously thru the local Trumptoid population who are becoming ill and then go in for testing after the fact. Just like in Florida:

"US coronavirus cases surpass 9 million" 
But there's good news! Donald Trump Jr said yesterday on the Laura Ingraham show that the deaths are almost nothing! Yup, only 229,500 now with 400,000 projected dead by February! There's plenty more Trumptoids where they came from!

Never mind, the official vote tally never comes in until well after the election is over. I hope we have a clear winner Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, but it could be that we have delayed results due to the huge amount of early-voting.
Texas Republicans just had their challenge to throw out drive thru votes thrown out of the Texas supreme court. They're back at it on Monday in federal court...
