Obama is confident Biden will "surround himself with good people – experts, scientists, military officials who actually know how to run the government and care about doing a good job running the government and know how to work with our allies and who will always put the American people's interests above their own." Contrast that with King Donald's boast of surrounding himself with "the very best people" – and then take note of how many hundreds of those "very best people" have resigned, been fired or been put in prison.

On April 15, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Joe Biden for President. That evening, speaking with he MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Warren said she would gladly be Biden's running mate if he asked her. On April 17, two polls of Democratic voters were released. In Wisconsin, Warren was the favorite choice for Vice President. In Michigan, Warren was second behind Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Warren is likely to become Biden's running mate. Now if she could just quit beginning almost every sentence with "So..."

Trump's 'evil' claims about Asians and coronavirus could be 'key factor' in election: Andrew Yang
Yahoo Finance. Apr 23 2020 10:03 PM
In a new interview with Yahoo Finance, former Presidential candidate Andrew Yang said discrimination against Asian Americans in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak could emerge as a key issue facing President Donald Trump as he faces re-election. "It’s heartbreaking what's happening to Asian Americans around the country. To me, this is one of the pivotal issues for Trump," Yang told Yahoo's On The Move. Fueled by xenophobia, Trump, Republican lawmakers and conservative members of the media have perpetuated a false association between the virus, which originated in Wuhan, to Americans of Asian descent, who have been on the receiving end of racist attacks. Trump has repeatedly referred to the illness as the "Chinese virus."

Biden, Democrats enter a joint fundraising agreement for November election
Reuters, Apr 24 2020 2:29 PM
Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to a joint fundraising accord that will allow the former Vice President and likely Presidential nominee to raise more money and compete on a more equal footing with Republican President Donald Trump in the November 3 election. The accord, announced today by the DNC, allows the candidate's "Biden Victory Fund" to raise a maximum donation of $360,600 from individual donors, with the limit of $5,600 going to Biden's campaign and the rest earmarked for the DNC. Biden has been trying to close his money gap with Trump, who has long had a similar arrangement in place with the Republican National Committee.

King Donald the First believes allowing Americans to vote by mail will benefit Democrats. It won't, of course. It won't really benefit either party – but try telling that to King Donald. If he thought tens of millions of Americans would catch the COVID-19 virus by voting at public polling places but he would win re-election, he would be just fine with that. All he cares about is himself, his party and the wealthiest Americans.

Justin Amash, who represents Michigan's 3rd Congressional District in the House Of Representatives, was initially a Republican. Last year he became an independent. Now he's a Libertarian – and he's planning to run For President. In 2016, Amash opposed Trump's candidacy. In May 2019, Amash was the first Republican to call for Trump's impeachment. In December 2019, Amash was the only non-Democrat to vote in favor of either of the two articles of impeachment. Will Amash's candidacy help Biden? Trump? Neither? I'll have to find out what Gary Johnson, Ralph Nader, Strom Thurmond, Ross Perot, Eugene Debs, George Wallace and John Anderson think about this.

Joe Biden has announced the four co-chairs of his vice presidential vetting team, starting the search for his running mate in earnest. They are former Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, Delaware Reresentative Lisa Blunt Rochester, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Apple executive and longtime Biden aide Cynthia Hogan. They will work with vetting teams led by former White House counsel Bob Bauer, campaign general counsel Dana Remus and former homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco to evaluate Biden's options and collect information on each candidate to help him make his decision.

King Donald's blindly loyal supporters believe everything he says on Twitter and in press conferences and they get all their news from Fox News, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading Channel. Former Obama campaign strategists David Plouffe and David Axelrod say for Joe Biden to compete against King Donald's domination of social media, he needs to "transform a campaign that lagged behind many of his Democratic competitors during the primary in its use of digital media and timely, state-of-the-art communications techniques. While television remains a potent force, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are all essential in a COVID-19 world in which candidate travel and voter contact will be severely limited."

Analysis: Biden's lead is the steadiest on record
CNN, May 10 2020 11:10 AM
A new Monmouth University poll finds that former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump 50% to 41%. When Representative Justin Amash is included as the Libertarian Party candidate, it's Biden 47%, Trump 40% and Amash 5%. The poll is largely in line with the average poll since April that puts Biden six points ahead of Trump nationally. Biden's lead is about as steady as it can possibly be. Not only is he up six points over the last month but the average of polls since the beginning of the year has him ahead by six points. Moreover, all the polls taken since the beginning of 2019 have him up six points. The steadiness in the polls is record breaking. Biden's advantage is the steadiest in a race with an incumbent running since 1944. While steadiness in the 2020 race so far projects forward to minimal movement from here on out, it doesn't in any way guarantee Biden a win. There's still a range of results possible.

King Donald the First voted by absentee ballot in Florida but he is opposed to anyone else voting by mail. There will be voter fraud, he insists – while providing absolutely no evidence. Voting by mail favors Democrats and will hurt Republicans, he insists – while providing absolutely no evidence. He and his blindly loyal lackeys in Congress are challenging every state that wants to use vote-by-mail in November. In Trumpworld, if tens of millions of Americans vote at a polling place and hundreds of thousands of them wind up contracting COVID-19 and dying, that's a small price to pay to prevent all the "voter fraud" King Donald insists will happen – while providing absolutely no evidence.
Republicans file lawsuit in attempt to stop Governor Newsom's mail-in ballot plan
Newsmax, May 25 2020 3:43 PM
The Republican Party is taking California Governor Gavin Newsom to court over plans to send all voters mail-in ballots for the general election. The Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee and California Republican Party filed a lawsuit Sunday against Newsom and Secretary of State Alex Padilla in the US District Court for the Eastern District of California. The Republicans allege Newsom's decision to provide voters with mail-in ballots is unconstitutional and could lead to voter fraud. In their complaint, the groups called the Democratic Governor's action an illegal "usurpation of the legislature's authority. This brazen power grab was not authorized by state law and violates both the Elections Clause and Electors Clause of the US Constitution."
The lawsuit challenges a May 8 order that Newsom signed stating that every registered California voter would be sent a mail-in ballot because of concerns about the spread of coronavirus. "Elections and the right to vote are foundational to our democracy," Newsom said in a statement. "No Californian should be forced to risk their health in order to exercise their right to vote."

In 2016, Donald Trump said the debates are rigged, the polls are rigged, the poll questions are rigged, news coverage is rigged, the nominating conventions are rigged, the primaries are rigged, the voting machines are rigged, the ballots are rigged, the Electoral College is rigged.....everything was "rigged" until the Electoral College awarded him the Presidency even though he lost the popular vote. Then he quit saying everything is rigged – until today. Once again, he makes outrageous claims with absolutely no evidence. The Tweeter-In-Chief wrote, "There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed." And yes, this is the same man who voted by absentee ballot in Florida.

Twitter fact-checks Trump, slaps warning labels on his tweets about mail-in ballots
CNBC, May 26 2020 6:12 PM EDT
President Donald Trump's favorite social media platform, Twitter, today began fact-checking his posts. Twitter's move marked the first time that the social media giant has fact-checked the president within its own platform. "Get the facts about mail-in ballots," said Twitter's warning labels below two of Trump's tweets that made misleading claims about mail-in voting. When clicked, the links lead users to a page that in part reads: "Trump falsely claimed mail-in ballots would lead to 'a Rigged Election.' However, fact-checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud." A Twitter spokesperson told CNBC the tweets "contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots."
Trump's critics have long called on Twitter to take action against Trump's use of the platform. Of the 18,000-plus false or misleading claims Trump has made as President, more than 3,300 of them were made in tweets, according to The Washington Post.

King Donald the First claims, with zero evidence, that mail-in ballots will be "fraudulent" and "forged" and will result in a "rigged election." Twitter calls him out on his lies. King Donald is now stopping just short of orcering, "Off with their heads!" He's threatening to "strongly regulate, or close them down" for silencing "conservative voices" and "interfering in the 2020 election." Twitter isn't "interfering." Twitter is merely telling the truth, in contrast to King Donald's lies. "Big action to follow," King Donald tweeted. Seeking to silence all critics is one of the hallmarks of a dictator. One hundred sixty days till election day.
