I'm sure Mike Bloomberg appreciates having his "We'll get it done" tagline stolen.

(18,770 posts)I like how how he stylizes "coronavirus" like it's VistaVision:
All joking aside, I get the sense Fauci, after being dragged back to the WH today for the "emergency meeting", finally laid into Trump and told him he was fucking this up badly and it *finally* sank in...
Aaahahahaha!! I got ya, didn't i? Of course it didn't sink in - Trump's tweet is about declaring martial law.

Elections are the Constitutional purview of the STATES. POTUS can't touch them, nor can CONGRESS.

(25,237 posts)That statement coming from any other president would probably have a calming effect on the People.
That statement coming from Trump - is a threat.
What's that famous quote from Rahm Emanual:
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
Think of what that means to Trump and the Repugs.
- attacking Social Security and Medicare
- more tax breaks for the top 1%
- suspending the election
to name a few.

(15,805 posts)He'd love to order a nationwide Martial Law. Picture Generalisimo Trump in his brand new Baby Blue (to match his eyes) military uniform up on his reviewing stand as the US. military parades their war machines down Pennsylvania avenue for his amusement while Americans are stricken with Clovis 19.

Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)I bet the drool is actually overflowing from his twerking salivary glands and onto his chin over the desire to quarantine people, lock down the country and use this as an excuse for total control.
Yeah, people will say, "He can't do that because..." I am not seeing that phrase work much these days so I don't have confidence in it. I would rather be the pessimist and consider what he is capable of and how he is being enabled to do it so that I am not taken by surprise.
I would enjoy the relief of being wrong about this. Time will tell.
