    It reveals that we have a nation of selfish assholes who hoard toilet paper. How appropriate since they are full of shit.

    The Brexit bullshit revealed that the UK was a sick society, but the Covid 19 lurgy has made a lot of people pull themselves together and remember who they are. Let's hope it lasts! In the US it has revealed the desperate importance of the States when the Centre goes mad. Do get shot of the Fatman!

    I think you are confused, the courts ruled the election must take place. The Governor tried to delay it.

    Jesus H. Christ...have you read the list OwlWoman posted of what the fucking moron has said during the last 3 months. He is a lying, uninformed, ignorant sack of shit...not someone with even a tiny, mote-sized spec of optimism.

    He is totally lacking in the most fundamental of human emotions...sympathy and empathy.

    How can you continue your support for this abomination?

    Hillary Clinton was and is a much better choice than this abomination.

    Anyone who thinks Trump was the better choice is aiding and abetting the destruction of our Republic by this untalented, ignorant, uninformed, preening, classless boor.

    How sad you are. Facts are not able to penetrate your cultish Trumpianism. There is no point providing you with reality because you have replaced it with your own screwed up fantasy and claim it is the truth. I feel sorry for you. That is no way to go through life.

    Disagreed. Even the Democrats are happy she's gone and the Clinton political machine destroyed. How do you think everyone else feels?

    Our Republic isn't being destroyed by Trump. He's not helping it either. He's just a fucking moron with a title.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    can't argue w/ that fact.......
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    It also reveals how greedy and corrupt corporations and the wealthy are..........Lets not forget that the people that are ensuring we all eat and have essential supplies during this pandemic are the same people we deny a living wage, medical coverage and citizenship to every voting cycle. Next time you are at the poles, vote based on their value to society, not just your political ideologies

    People need to stop being so selfish!

    No. Originally he wanted it to go on. Then when he saw how many absentee ballets were coming in from conservative stronghold areas he did a quick 180 and asked for the election to be put off. Look it up yourself,....easy to verify.

    You are wrong, that would make no difference in the primary. It was because of the pandemic and the danger to people. Poll workers also quit because of the fear of the virus.
