It’s Thursday.
President Misinformation, misinformed his followers in 6 tweets and zero retweets so far for Thursday.
In his first three tweets, two taken from Fox & His Friends, he continues to misinform the public about the upcoming Presidential Election vote by mail, with a mix of random capitalized words and punctuation’s.
NEVER BE ACCURATELY DETERMINED.
True to Vote is asking voters to call their county elections office to make sure, the county doesn’t miss the September 19th, 2020 deadline to mail military personal their ballots for the upcoming November 3rd, 2020 Presidential Election.
Another election disaster yesterday.
Yesterday was Wednesday.
The only primary I can find held this week was Tuesday September 15th, 2020, in Delaware. I found no news reports that Delaware faced issues with voting on their primary day.
NOW…VOTE…MAYHEM!!!
The president is watching television and trying to delegitimize the vote.

On Tuesday CNN offered a fact-check over his lies regarding the unsolicited ballots.
According to their breakdown of the states:
35 states allow voters the option to vote absentee without an excuse.
6 states still require an acceptable excuse to vote absentee, the pandemic is not a valid reason.
9 states, is where CNN believes President Confused, confuses the 80 million unsolicited ballots being sent.
In those 9 states, 5 of them, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Hawaii, and Washington, have been holdings their elections primarily by mail since before the coronavirus outbreaks.
The 4 states left out of the nine, California (I’ve voted by mail here since 1992), Vermont, Nevada, and New Jersey plus Washington D.C., made changes this year to voting by mail.
Absentee and Mail-in voting are the same thing, the same safe guards apply.
I have said this before, but I will stress again, do not get your voter information from places that aren’t, simply, your state election office. Your state election office will provide you all the information you need to be able to use absentee/mail-in voting ballots, plus, if the website is confusing, they will provide you–your local election office’s phone number.
ELECTION MAYHEM…CRAZY…GIFT…election!!!

Twitter has labeled all three tweets with links to get information on how mail-in voting is safe and secure.
Moving on from spreading misinformation about voting and how it works, he explains that he is; SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERING MEDICARE PREMIUMS.
On September 13th, 2020 the New York Times explained that; it is unclear whether the White House has the authority to put the expansive order [signed Sunday] into effect. And in an odd twist, in calling for the secretary to set up the model programs, the administration is relying on its authority under the Affordable Care Act, which Mr. Trump and his fellow Republicans are trying to overturn in the Supreme Court.
Mr. Trump has made the executive order — and the war that has broken out with the pharmaceutical industry — a centerpiece of his campaign for re-election. At a July 24 signing ceremony, he said the directive would cover so-called Medicare Part B drugs — those like chemotherapy infusions that are administered in doctors’ offices.
New York Times. 09/13/2020
The president said his order would go into effect on Aug. 24 if the drug makers did not take steps to lower their prices. But the deadline came and went. On Sunday, he revoked the July 24 order and issued a new, expanded directive that also covers so-called Medicare Part D drugs, those purchased at pharmacies.
Stephen Ubl, the chief executive of PhRMA told the Times that it was irresponsible and unworkable policy to purse the most favored nations clause.
The administration has chosen to pursue the most favored nation policy — an irresponsible and unworkable policy that will give foreign governments a say in how America provides access to treatments and cures for seniors and people struggling with devastating disease. What’s worse is that they are now expanding the policy to include medicines in both Medicare Part B and Part D, an overreach that further threatens America’s innovation leadership and puts access to medicines for tens of millions of seniors at risk.

They explain that the industry’s opposition to “international index pricing is shared by many Republicans in Congress, who say they think adopting drug prices from countries where prices are set by the government is effectively importing socialism.”
The Social Media Whore moves on to blast social media explaining that Trending on Twitter is set-up to make anything bad, Fake or not, about him trend. But don’t worry it’s being studied now!
How are trends determined?
Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter.
You can choose to see trends that are not tailored for you by selecting a specific trends location on twitter.com, iOS, or Android (instructions below). Location trends identify popular topics among people in a specific geographic location.
Note: The number of Tweets that are related to the trends is just one of the factors the algorithm looks at when ranking and determining trends. Algorithmically, trends and hashtags are grouped together if they are related to the same topic. For instance, #MondayMotivation and #MotivationMonday may both be represented by #MondayMotivation.
See? No Studying required.

In May the House unveiled an outline of the Heroes Act, according to Politico it would provided; $500 billion for state governments and $375 billion for local governments.
The House passed the Heroes Act on May 15th, govtrack.us, has the text of the passed bill.
They don’t care about the people, never did!
February 7th, 2020. [12 known coronavirus cases in the U.S., no reported deaths]
March 19th, 2020. [14,200 known coronavirus cases in the U.S., 187 deaths.]
The CDC reported on Wednesday that currently there are 6,571,867 confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S.. They have recorded a total of 195,053 American’s have died due to the coronavirus.
During a mini-campaign rally on Wednesday, Worst President Ever, said, if we “take the blues states out,” of our total death toll, we’d be at a level “I don’t think anybody in the world would be at.”
President Hater of Half-the Country: If you look at what we’ve done and all of the lives that we’ve saved — and I’m going to ask that a graph be put up, and now it’s up. This was right at the beginning. This was our prediction that if we do a really good job, we’ll be at about a hundred and — 100,000 to 240,000 deaths. And we’re below that substantially, and we’ll see what comes out. But that would be if we did the good job. If the not-so-good job was done, you’d be between 1.5 million — I remember these numbers so well — and 2.2 million. That’s quite a difference.
So we’re down in this territory. And that’s despite the fact that the blue states had tremendous death rates. If you take the blue states out, we’re at a level that I don’t think anybody in the world would be at. We’re really at a very low level.
But yeah, tell me again, who doesn’t care about the American people.
President The 1917 Pandemic Ended World War II will be offering remarks at the White House Conference on American History this afternoon, before he hosts another rally this evening.
