Delaying the Election Trial Baloon
President Trump launched a trial balloon about delaying the election. That would require acts of Congress and state legislatures which are unlikely.
And even if it did happen the 20th Amendment to the Constitution evicts the the president at high noon January 20th. So you’d need somebody to fill the vacancy by then.
And hope the mail-in ballots get delivered in time.
Speaking of mail-in-ballots:
Six weeks after New York’s primary election on June 23, the final vote tally in the 12th Congressional District remains a mystery. On Monday a federal judge ordered the counting of certain mail ballots that arrived after Election Day but without a postmark to prove when they were sent. Imagine this kind of mess 45 days following Nov. 3.

Biden’s Brain locked in the Basement
I’m starting to feel creepy about picking on Joe Biden’s brain. But he keeps it in the basement while he runs for president, and I’m a cartoonist.
Here’s video of his brain’s latest run-in with his mouth.
Cognitively Certified and Proud of it
President Trump is cognitively certified and bragging about it. Not only did he test negative for Covid-19, his brain tested positive on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoA.
As achievements go the test is a low bar. Passing it simply means you don’t have dementia. For now. But Trump seems to think Joe Biden couldn’t pole vault over the the bar and he’s trying to provoke him out of his basement to take the test.
Joe’s Cognitive abilities may serve him well. He said he didn’t know anything about the Michael Flynn investigation. But former FBI agent Peter Stzrok’s notes from a Jan 2017 meeting say Biden recommended prosecuting Flynn under the Logan Act.
Obama deputy AG Sally Yates says she doesn’t remember if Biden brought up the Logan act but she testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he didn’t influence the Flynn Investigation.
As far as I know she hasn’t been tested either.
Mary Trump and World’s Most Dangerous Man
Mary Trump thinks her Uncle Donald is very dangerous. So dangerous that she wrote a book about it.
The title: Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.
Anyway, she has a Ph.D in psychology and she says she’s taking Uncle Donald down.
Maybe delusions of grandeur run in the family.
Police Violence and Trump’s Daily Assaults…
But police violence, and Trump’s daily assaults on the presidential competence standard, are only part of the disaster. On the other side of the political aisle, among self-described liberals, we’re watching an intellectual revolution. It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind.
