….My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!

Constitutional law, https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/595, states Intentional interference with a federal election is a crime punishable with prison.
President Trump publicly stated he will withhold USPS funds, intend on affecting the November elections; a more positive republican vote outcome, the intent is clear, no free election. His action is a federal crime. Indict Trump now with the threat of prison since the Supreme Court ruled this president is not above the law.
Congress must take action immediately to ensure ballots are mailed by Oct. 15 allowing reasonable assurance of return receipt by Nov. 3.

Note from KBJ: You're batshit crazy, David. Have you always been this way, or did President Trump drive you to it?

What’s with @CNN POLLS increasing me by 10 points in a short period of time. Maybe they want to take over from @FoxNews!

If President Donald Trump had acted promptly to contain the coronavirus, we would be back to nearly normal, like much of Europe. Bars and restaurants, businesses, stores and gyms would be open. Children would be back in their classrooms for the much needed in-person learning.
If we had had a lock-down mandated by the federal government from the beginning, we would have avoided thousands of deaths, much of the economic and job loss, evictions, reliance on food banks and food stamps, and months of pandemic isolation. The second and a third economic package, which multiplied the national debt, might not have been needed.
Trump is responsible for thousands of deaths and for enormous unnecessary economic loss. His utter lack of leadership on COVID-19 borders on criminal. Do not allow him to win another term as president!
Martha Rogers, Austin
Note from KBJ: On what authority would a president (any president) have "mandated" a lock-down, Martha? Do you think before you write? Also, stop watching CNN. It's keeping you ignorant of what's going on in the country. Donald Trump is going to be your president for another four years, and you are going to like it.
