    The election has already been rigged according to Trump.
    So there you go with any peaceful transition.

    Bolivia plan. Demagoguing the election process in the run up to it, harassing opposition run cities and states with Department of Fatherland Security goons.

    Trump campaign temporarily halts ad spending
    for review of messaging strategy


    a review and fine-tuning of the campaign's strategy.

    The campaign has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in TV and digital ads

    in battleground states across the country. Biden 49% - 40%

    pending has been used to tout the President's accomplishments in office 150K+ dead and Trump Depression

    a new tone from the President, with Trump encouraging mask use

    and focusing more prominently on fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. 9+ months TOO ING LATE


    But the President undercut his own campaign's attempts at a reset almost immediately,

    again encouraging the use of hydroxychloroquine, against the advice of medical professionals, to combat the virus and

    amplifying a doctor from Houston who believes, among other things, that gynecological problems are the result of dream sex with demons.

    What does this even mean?
    It means that the USA is on the wrong track and Trump is doing a very bad job, as reflected by his dismal approval rating. His aggregate approval polling has never been over 50%. Now it's below 40%.

    A ways to go to catch Harry Truman, but other than that, pretty much worst ever numbers for a POTUS.

    Kind of a big deal, but eyes will glaze over again and everyone will move on. Trump faithfully "executing" the law.

    Trump does not take care to faithfully execute the laws of the USA. It's just one of the myriad reason Trump sucks as a President.

    Ending the census early will lead to an undercount of minorities.

    What is your reason for wanting to end it early?

    Virologist rips Deborah Birx:

    ‘She’s ignored the evidence’ with her ‘willful disregard for the science’


    “But she soon lost support within swaths of the scientific and medical community for seeming to minimize the virus and to enable Trump’s overly rosy view of the pandemic. This past weekend, Birx lost the backing of the nation’s top Democrat, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), who privately called Birx ‘the worst’ and publicly said she had no confidence in her.”

    Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.

    “She’s ignored the evidence and gone in the media and said things that are not based in evidence at all and even the most generous understanding of what she’s said can’t be justified by the data we have,” Rasmussen said.

    “When you do something like that, you’re not doing your job competently and

    it’s really difficult to gain the respect of your colleagues

    when you’re all scientists and you’ve shown such willful disregard for the science.”

    Apportionment too. The US Census has real consequences for political power.

    Trumps seems really on top of it.

    Seems one favored tack is to emphasize case fatality rate, which is not the same as a fatality rate. A fatality rate divides the number of deaths by the population, a case fatality rate has only diagnosed cases in the denominator; it's a measure of severity. It can also be used to assess healthcare capacity in response to an outbreak, which is what AAPS purports to do, putting the difference down to a single factor -- HCQ.

    One problem with calculating case fatality rates in a pandemic is that the numbers are moving targets and are bounded by uncertainty. The total number of cases isn't known, nor are the number of deaths. The age structure of the affected country, quality of healthcare and testing regimes can affect the figure too. Quality of the reporting is key. GIGO.

    A good article about how to understand and interpret case fatality rate can be found here:

    Trump is now LYING about cases and deaths since blocking the CDC from receiving the pandemic data.

    Nothing from Trash's so-called govt is believable.
