President Trump, trailing badly in the polls, floated the idea of delaying the November presidential election:
With 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???
David Plouffe: “The line between autocracy and democracy just become threadbare. Every GOP leader and candidate needs to be asked to respond to this desperate attempt to cling to power.“

headed for SCOTUS

Isn't it unlikely that this will clear the PA district and State Supreme courts to get to the US SCOTUS before this fall? Or did you mean that it is headed for the PA state SCOTUS?
The Tin-Pot Dictator-wannabe doesn't want to give up the job where he does not take responsibility for anything, nor care about the people hurt most by his actions.
The perks are just too enticing: unlimited pardon power, immunity from prosecution, and a phalanx of toadies ready to fulfill his every whim.
Now if he can just get rid of that pesky ol' election that threatens to put the kibosh on his dreams, all would be right in TrumpWorld.
When he realizes he can't move the date and no viable way to mess up the landslide against him he'll resign so there is no ignominious defeat and Pence can pardon him.
It's a distraction from the 32.9% decline in GDP for the 2nd quarter, plus another week of 1.4 million new unemployment gains. Wow.
Makes the great depression look "not-so-great"
"winning"
Squirrel.
Pay attention to actual news:
GDP down 10% in one quarter (30% – yearly)
COVID ramping up in states and areas with air-conditioning and anti-masking.
Election disenfranchisement.
More real news:
1.43 million new jobless claims
“dueling speeches on the Senate floor appeared to be aimed at setting up political blame as Congress remained on the cusp of failure to reach a deal as expanded jobless benefits for some 20 millions Americans were poised to expire Friday.”
And what about her e-mails?
The "investigation" into the e-mails is alive and well thanks to far right wing whack job Tom Fitton and his Judicial Watch group.
Why, if you read Fitton's b.s., and I got another fat envelope full of it yesterday, you'll know that the Mueller investigation "completely cleared" Trump of any Russian collusion in the 2016 election.
One gets on real interesting mailing lists by subscribing to National Review and Mother Jones.
The worst of both worlds….
And, this happened after an unprecedented Trillions of dollars were thrown at the economy during the second quarter. We're now facing a $4 Trillion plus FY20 budget deficit.
You know if he should get re-elected, Trump will ask Congress to enact a new chapter to the bankruptcy code to allow the federal government to get relief.
From Salon: Just the opinion of two psychiatrists and a clinical psychologist. Probably worth noting.
Would-be dictator Donald Trump would be unstoppable in a second term. That must not happen
…As mental health professionals, we cannot remain silent. Trump's authoritarian presidency is a national emergency.

Former presidential candidate and serial sexual harasser Herman Cain is dead of Trumpvirus. Thoughts and prayers, yo.
Nominee for this year's Darwin Award. It is just a question how many others might give him some stiff (pun intended) competition.
Why not try the Chlorox, too?
Bend over Louie, we're going to put the light inside of your body.
9-9-9 took taking one for the team to a whole new level. Last seen at the Ttump Tulsa Rally (sans mask).
The beginning of a GOP nightmare. I am thinking that a signifcant number of high level T***pians are about to visit Covidland.
Ninety six days until Trump's fall
Already he's screaming in fear.
Live this day in a loving way
Then throw the bum out on his rear!
Trumperoo Court Judge Neomi Rao gets pulled up short by her colleagues:
A bit of good news from Denver (my emphasis):
After responding to a link on a webpage and filling in a survey on working as an elections volunteer, I got this email yesterday
Another whack job Trump nominee gets the hook — from the GOP chairman!
Holy Crap — Even the Federalist Society founder is calling Trump a Fascist

Caption this. The Twitter thread photoshops are fantastic.
Notice how short-fingered vulgarian's fingers were awkwardly lengthened after the image was finished.
The author of "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?", and the woman who said, "I freed a thousand slaves – I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." (Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman) weren't bloody likely to lay hands in blessing on Donald Trump.
Checking a variety of the prediction sites, and was stunned to read The Economist's Model conclusion:
Right now, our model thinks Joe Biden is very likely to beat Donald Trump in Colorado. 9 electoral votes
Chance of winning the most votes
Predicted popular vote share
