USPS Failures Expose Cons utional Violations in Vote-By-Mail Laws of Several States
Harvard law professor and cons utional scholar Laurence Tribe on Saturday said that
voters being disenfranchised by variations in mail delivery schedules violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Cons ution.
Citing to the 1974 U.S. Supreme Court case O’Brien v Skinner, Tribe said that
the Equal Protection Clause
“invalidates state rules that make arbitrary distinctions between voters who can get their absentee ballots counted and those who can’t.”
Thus, if two people in a state mail their ballots on the same day,
one of those votes cannot be counted while the other is invalidated because they were delivered at different times.
the Cons ution requires that states enact postmark rules –
meaning all mail-in ballots must be dated and cannot be invalidated if sent before the election deadline.
“This means a state that doesn’t adopt a postmark rule violates the 14th Amendment rights of voters
who aren’t assured they’ll receive their absentee ballots in time to have them counted by November 3,”

I love it when Trump was asked about Mexico paying for the "wall" and once again he can't give a straight answer. Now he's saying that tolls or taxes will reimburse the cost. Really? Ok cool story bro. He looked so foolish answering that question.

Republicans ‘mystified’ that
Trump has ditched his working-class base for wealthy taxpayers
Trump in recent months has struggled to recapture the populist energy that
won him the White House in 2016,
some Republicans are surprised that
he has pivoted to embracing capital gains tax cuts that will benefit almost exclusively wealthy taxpayers.
“So much of what made Trump 2016 so populist — immigration, for instance — is absent from 2020 messaging now because of the virus,”
“It is different because the priorities are so radically different this time around, with the current crisis.”
“He had no background in the ideological, free market, Larry Kudlow wing of the party.
And yet he seems like he’s tying himself to it at the worst time possible.”

Trump dropped into Iowa — and didn’t even try to understand the devastation
We were still without electricity or internet on Friday morning,
four days into riding out the aftermath of the hurricane-level “derecho” storm that
devastated a 770-mile swath of the heartland from South Dakota to Ohio, and
left a million residents without power,
along with widespread damage.

Melania to Deliver Convention Speech from Empty Classroom at Trump University
WASHINGTON —Calling it “a great idea I just had,” Melania Trump said on Wednesday morning that she would deliver her Republican National Convention speech from an empty classroom at Trump University.
Trump said that, to set the stage for her speech, she would stroll down the hallway of the now shuttered educational ins ution before settling in at a desk in one of its many disused classrooms.
She indicated that
she would use the intimate setting to talk about the many personal challenges that her husband, Donald J. Trump, has faced in his life.
“There was that very sad day when he found out that he had bone spurs and could not serve in Vietnam,” she said.
“But he somehow stood tall and went on to inherit hundreds of millions of dollars from his father.”
Trump added that, if her husband is reëlected,
she hopes that the halls of Trump University
“will be full once again with the happy pitter-patter of students hoping to make fortunes in real estate.”
“That be best,” she said.
