Rachel Maddow explains that Donald Trump is only too happy to cut the census count short because it means not only undercounting the kind of people he'd rather overlook, but it means he'll retain control over how those numbers are presented to Congress, rather than risk leaving it to Joe Biden should Trump lose the 2020 election. Aired on 8/4/2020.

Trump Hedges Bet Against 2020 Win With Early Census Data Grab | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
So this is the second time they’re trying to screw with the Census. Is that right?
Shady and slimy creatures still crawling the from the swamp.
Slithering.
👍👍👍
They have not offered a good explanation why they would finish early. It could be that there is a valid explanation, we don’t know but I would love to know that explanation.
However, it feels like that state were the republicans lost their majority and before leaving made sure that the power of the incoming democrats would be a lot less.
I would not be surprised if Trump is going to manipulate the data. He is a cheat.
Is this the US or some Central America country??
@sebas tuon Have you found your sources yet?
Oh man the Debates are going to be EPIC!!🤗🇺🇲
@209 Michoacan , to quote your messiah . “It is what i9 is. ” Any excuse is better than no excuse, with you folks.
@sebas tuon Silly pancake, found your sources on leftist Oxford University yet? Can I help you, pancake? Just ta few questions… These will help you finding sources. Which conservative Prime Ministers have graduated from Oxford University (a lot)? From which University graduated the present Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Donald Duck’s buddy)? Which British Labour Prime Minister graduated from Oxford University?
Final question. Is Oxford, left, right or neutral political oriented?
Heh, pancake… If you claim something, then you have to provide sources.
The Guardian one of British leading newspaper published this article.
I love Oxford, hurray, hurray…

Off to court again.
Hey, who appointed this judge anyway?
Joe Biden should just flat out say that if they cut the census short, he will invalidate it on day 1 of his term and they will conduct a real census next year. Make sure Democrats control Congress and they can back him up. If republicans scream about it, too f’n bad. We need play tough now.
@Lin Al 😄, sad but true🎶
Sleepy Joe will never be president. TRUMP 2020 baby
@Kenny West
Of course he will be your next president.
#biden2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Lin Al bhaaaa not even close.
@Kenny West
Well maybe not your president since you’re not an American. Bhaaa
Mitch McConnell keep saying jobs why r they taking away census job away early
They don’t want an accurate result.
👍👍👍
We are strong American Citizen.
We will vote by mail under Covid19 pandemic.
If I must, I will risk my life to vote in person.
Dump Donald Chump 2020. Time to flush the orange turd out
150k dead and trump said “it is what it is”
His nepotic helper Kushner also ditched initial plans for testing because it was hitting primarily blue states. https://www.democracynow.org/2020/8/4/katherine_eban_jared_kushner
He will moan and groan with negative press coverage that he’s been treated more poorly than any president ever. That he’ll complain about because that’s about him. But other people dieing, it is what it is.
@eyedownloader
Great post thanks
you’re welcome @Lin Al – a great non corporate source of daily news.
@Regina Santos If Trump had done nothing, we’d be better off. Instead, He opened his mouth, And we got this Crazy circus side show anti reality time line
t-Rump : I don’t understand why they need extra time…there is literally like 160,000 less Americans to count this year….
& this kinda explains how TRUMP does things & gets away with it…
Of course..
used to get away with it .. only his racist base and Russian trolls are still buying it ..everyone else is done
Even Trump’s paid trolls are getting sick of him.
@Michael Bray what’s your point?
sebas tuon really? Just a final word of advice. You appear to be a tragicomic duality of an oblivious lack of self awareness coupled to a childish perception of one’s wit and observational veracity that only ends in a figure deserving of both pathos and derision.
So, on that note poppet. Time for your bedtime.
No need to say thank you for the sage wisdom.
Debates 2020!!! I cant wait!! It should be lots of fun!! Don’t you agree?
💙💜❤️💚💛
@sebas tuon Hey everybody @sebas ruin claims Oxford is a deeply leftist University. In another comment thread he was claiming the same. But is this true?
Here are some questions to help him…
@sebas tuon silly pancake you, found your sources on leftist Oxford University yet? Just a few questions… These will help you finding sources. Which conservative Prime Ministers have graduated from Oxford University (a lot)? From which University graduated the present Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Donald Duck’s buddy)?

@BIacks For Trump About Oxford University. The Guardian one of British leading newspapers published this article…

as deadlyoledon says,
“…if you don’t count things, they don’t exist…”
(if we didn’t test we wouldn’t have any cases….remember that one?)
only 1 or 2 cases I think there are 15 I dont want cruise ships to bring ppl back. Just leave them out in the ocean. And then By Easter the virus will disappear and Everything will be just beautiful. Oh esp since it is a Democratic hoax.
What do they call it … oh, yeah, gerrymandering….on a NATION WIDE BASIS !!!!!!!!!!!
Biden needs to jail Trump and all of his minions including Barr. The November Docket is coming. Poor thing Trump is still in the bunker.
I’ll volunteer for THAT jury duty!!!
Trump might to RUN to his BUNKER to hide and lock himself in… BUT GUESS WHAT… THERE IS ALWAYS A KEY
The House should bring in the Census Bureau to see what they need to be done, and the time needed to finalize it. Not Trump, not the GOP, it’s mandated by our Constitution to do this census. If Trump and the GOP alter , delay or enfringe upon the collection of the actual data needed to perform this census they are breaking the law. If they do this to alter the true data, they are breaking the law as put forth by the Constitution.
First, we need to get the Heroes Act passed!
That is why I am Voting President Joe Biden on November 3, 2020. It is what it is.
ByeDon 2020 👍

After being fined $28 Million for fraud while in office, you would think Trump would be barred from being re-elected
White Americans are so afraid of not having power over people of color
The system relies on voters to do that. Works, usually.
This really speaks well of America.
Trump committed a number of felonies, including voting fraud (address). So, in most states a felon can’t vote, but a felon can be elected to office.
I don’t understand how a president that is impeached, and under investigation can run for election.
If the Trump administration actually spent all the time they use to find ways to cheat and devious to actually do some work, they would be phenomenal…sad 😞
Well….they’d be barely average😉
So again as the old saying goes for the Republicans “If you can’t win fair then cheat”
Enough of that is going on…
More like if the GOP can’t win they take the whole ship down with them sadly.
Which is exactly why they all need to be voted out!

Yes the Constitution just says count a few ppl pretend the pior dont exist and just elect whomever. This is not how Any of this should work.
TRump is a absolut proof that religion is a tool for power and wealth
I’m having a hard time finding something about Trump and his administration that’s NOT inherently evil.
