This is the day this President compares himself to Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty, stating that he has "total authority" over States' affairs and could order them to open their economies and change their Shelter-in-Place regulations. Ha, ha. Of course, anyone with a Sixth Grade education knows that he can't, that no US President has that authority. States enacted those restrictions and only States can reset them. Obviously Donald "Bligh" Drumpf doesn't know much about the Constitution, doesn't understand it, doesn't even care whether he does or not.
Does anyone else wonder about this reference, though? Does he remember how that movie plays out? It does not end well for sadistic little Captain Bligh. Should we take it as prophecy, that by the end of this, Drumpf, too, will be cast adrift in a tiny little boat on the high seas? We can hope - but we can't take this prophecy on face value; we must act to ensure that Drumpf is cast out of office.
For one thing, we must fight voter suppression by demanding the right to vote by mail in these contagious, courageous times. Text-banking, phone-banking, writing letters to the Editors, supporting our Democrats as they seek election or re-election; all of that helps. Support the ACLU; support the League of Women Voters, join Fair Fight 2020 as they strike back at unjust voter suppression tactics;
And yesterday, hooray, Obama came out for Joe Biden. For those who missed it:
Obama Supports Biden
LET"S GO!
