They are indeed bloody hands. One would hope this pandemic has pulled the mask off the entire sociopathic entity otherwise known as the Republican Party. Anything less than a landslide ushering in a new political era will disappoint me immensely. I’m prepared to be disappointed.

Right-wing authoritarians always come home.
Either scenario strikes me as feasible. RWAs are predictable. Question comes down to numbers. Who actually shows up to vote. Who actually casts ballots – by mail or in person (my preferred approach). Assuming RWAs come home as usual, are they enough, at least to make it close? Do we have any idea how many RWAs still respect their nominal leader? Are there some who are wanting to hold out for a better leader? LWAs are likely to do that sort of thing. Only thing I’m assuming anymore is that this is a turnout election. Winning the trifecta – House,… Read more »
My cousin called the life squad yesterday for her mom and dad. They were diagnosed last week for Covid. My aunt is a two time cancer survivor, and my uncle has chronic leukemia. He was having trouble breathing and she is coughing and running a fever. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Him all the way to the gates of hell. And put every one of his supporters in the line right behind him. I want Trump to personally suffer an horrific and tortuous death. The man is beyond vile and inhumane. It didn’t have to be this way. This was the… Read more »
I want Trump to lose bigly, get stopped on a runway in the process of fleeing, and serve out a nice long prison sentence in the US. I hope Trump lives to 100.
I really wish that I could believe we live in a country where I would have the privilege of seeing Trump shuffle into a courtroom in shackles for all his crimes. Sadly, I don’t think that will happen. I don’t think he will suffer any personal consequences, other than maybe some financial ones, for all of the horrific things he has done and overseen. There are more than enough powerful and wealthy people who have benefitted greatly from the Trump grift to make certain that his financial spread is covered, and that he walks away from all of this with… Read more »
I look at it like this. If corrupt and criminal politicians get away with it this time, that’s it. The next Republican President will know that if the rule of law doesn’t apply to their criminal activities after they give up power, there’s no reason to give up power in the first place, because the law is irrelevant. There has to be OPEN and TRANSPARENT investigations that go where they need to, and can take out Republicans and Democrat – ALL criminals. It needs to be broadcast on CSPAN live, every day. Let the chips fall where they may. This… Read more »
Yes, like virtually every Democrat I know, we want the system we have in place for dealing with this sort of criminality and corruption to work the way it is meant to work. I want to have some confidence restored in our processes. I recognize these very same processes have been skewed against poor people and people of color since their inception, and still are on this very day. But times like these are the very reasons the Founding Fathers framed things the way they did. They expected us to always, as a country, respect the basic tenets of the… Read more »
I want Herr Combover to lose bigly as well. Would love to see the whole lot of that crime family locked up. Probably more realistic scenario is they manage to flee to Dubai while they can, Trump gets into the radio talkshow biz to become the next Rush Limbaugh, and the sheep follow. The ensuing decade is ugly and violent, but we get a brief reprieve.
I’ve thought for quite a while that Trumpster and family are planning to create a media company post-election. They have a built-in audience from Fox news that they can poach. The QANONs will leave Alex Jones’ operation and other conspiracy outlets, and Limbaugh has terminal cancer. This business adventure has been in the works for awhile.
I’m with you there brother. This guy has to suffer given how much so many have suffered from every fucking lie.
State polls still look like Biden +6 at the tipping point. I wish it were higher, but there’s less elasticity in the swing states. That can be a good thing, though.
Right, but that also means we just need a 1-2 point polling error in our favor to get 413EV
Unfortunately I am unable to join in the good times of watching this hideous POS lose. I am still too fearful The Orange Turd will pull it out. Hope everyone is right. But forget the fucking national polls, if anything it hangs on Pennsylvania. I so want to celebrate a Biden win. ( never thought I would be saying that.)
BTW why are we rushing to pass another round of stimulus? That reminds me of playing into this asses hands.
After having passed not one, but two additional relief bills that McConnell didn’t even deign to read, Pelosi spending 12 hours a day with Mnuchin desperately seeking another round of pre-election stimulus to pass a week before the election[!] seems Political Malpractice 101. Obviously her caucus must want it for humanitarian purposes, thinking it cannot pass after the election. Perhaps it helps Dem members in purple districts as well. But it seems to me that its passage saves the at-risk Repubs in the senate, preserves the Gravedigger’s majority to destroy a Biden admin before he’s even elected, and could even… Read more »
New Coronavirus Spike is Hitting Trump in the Balls.
Fixed it for you. It’s childish, but it makes me happy. Sue me.
Unfortunately, given the state of both the fragile election machinery and the crazy quilt of state election laws in the country (as interpreted by Trumpist/”conservative” judges across the nation), the preferred outcome as measured by poll after poll will have an extremely difficult time being turned into certified state election results. And this is before Trumpolini’s intentional sabotage of the USPS (still ongoing, despite favorable news reports) and the latest tactic of rightwing yahoo males and “proud boys” now showing up in their monster pickups to clog early voting parking lots in Blue counties, while attempting to intimidate voters. Those… Read more »
