Election Fraud is any attempt to, directly or indirectly, invalidate a vote. If this move is done willfully knowing that it will remove a lot of votes from the opposing candidate, then it is fraud.

But they will just make excuses that they needed to do budget cuts because they needed to transfer money to the "war"  (stupid fascist terminology) on the corona and to reduce the manpower within the stations to reduce contagion. So there's no way to prove intent.

tl;dw: even if he did it wouldn't have made a difference

World Health Organization and government health agencies of pretty much every developed country on earth OWNED because two Democrats don't take masks seriously

I was more going with the "rules for thee, not for me" look. 

 

But since you brought that up

"Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the White House’s coronavirus task-force, called the protests 'the perfect set-up' for the spread of the virus. Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, warned that the gatherings could become 'super-spreader events'. "

 

Scientists aren't  omnipotent prophets. They are subject matter experts who suffer from the same human imperfections as the rest of us. This is Earth, no one really knows what they are doing, and then they die.

President Pence isn't such a bad prospect. I can see why some people are simply *electrified* with excitement.

Oh god no. Anything bad about Trump, Pence is 10x worse.

That is a possibility, but I doubt it. The presidents health is being evaluated at pretty much all times, and it would be far too easy for someone to go "hey wait a minute".

Not all too worried about the idea of pence being president considering there's very likely only a few months left of the Trump administration. The Trump cult is never gonna be won over but if you don't think the debate has been hell on his public image you're either blind or not paying attention.

His performance is night and day depending on where you read

On another note, it only took Trump getting corona for some leftists to start saying that the virus is fake 

[kerdios]

oh? so it was tonight?
In my country the far left has been blaming the gov for turning the corona into a fake scare in order to prevent protests for a year now

I've seen some delusional people in my time but you Trump cultists have some special kind of brain rot.

Right, because cheering for someone to die from disease while crying about healthcare reform is totally not double-think.

Just finished watching the VP debate.
Well this was a very typical political debate (unlike the previous one) where both candidates completely ignore the questions posed to them and instead just quote their pre-prepared bullet points on whatever they feel like talking about. And the moderator being completely useless as usual.

DEBATES WITHOUT A MUTE BUTTON ARE COMPLETELY USELESS!!!

Also the right here is under the impression that corona is due to G5 and are intentionally sabotaging antennas.

So only people with some kind of non-naturopathic scientific background are actually wary of spreading the infection.
