    Well maybe you should, otherwise you’re just as bad as the crew that thinks all immigrants are criminals (fill in the stereotype).
    Considering you come across as so evolved one would think you would endeavor to be better.

    That's pretty sad, when one thinks about it.

    People you hear from don't care about a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election just because they're too ignorant to understand the law or legal system, apparently.

    Pathetic. Aren't upset about some of the most un-American political actions in.....history.....because they can't be bothered to be informed.

    Good game, America.

    Not all Repubs are crooked, but the Republican Party is rotten to the core with Trump as its unquestioned leader. Voting for any single Repub is voting for Trump.

    Personally I don't think all Pubs are crooked although I wouldn't vote for a Republican candidate for either the House or the Senate so long as the party remains enthralled to Donald Trump and his MAGA philosophy in general.

    When Donald Trump says "jump" virtually any Republican Speaker of the House or Senate Majority Leader would respond with "how high, sir?". if Trump is elected there would be absolutely no legislative check on his power and even if he is defeated he would probably remain influential enough to do incalculable damage, a prime example being the tanking of the conservative bipartisan border security bill. It is absolutely essential that the Republicans do not end up with majorities in either or both Houses of Congress.

    Interestingly and although it is hasn't received much coverage the Senatorial election in Nebraska could prevent the Republicans from naming the next Senate Majority leader. The Democrats will almost certainly lose Manchin's seat from West Virginia and according to the polls most likely Tester's seat in Montana. Also according to recent polls Dan Osborn the independent candidate from Nebraska has a real shot at defeating Deb Fishcher the MAGA incumbent Republican. Osborn is a machinist and union leader and unlike Trump and his acolytes he's an actual economic populist who has the potential to claw a lot of votes from Trump's core constituency of white males without a college degree given that he is one of them.

    Man that’s a pretty wild prediction.

    Don’t think Trump will win, but I doubt it will be the end of free and fair elections.

    Women won’t lose the right to vote either.

    None of the stuff you listed will happen.

    Even if Trump loses, he's made acceptable the belief in conspiracy theories, race baiting and election lies. All so he could grift.

    All at the expense of America. His shitty legacy.

    "Grift"? Trump lost ~$1 Billion while serving as president to build a better future. If anyone should be grateful it's you and your cats

    Yes, that's the head-in-the-sand defense of Trump and his mob. Taking boxes and boxes of classified documents when you leave office and refusing to return them is OK because he's our guy, damn it!!!

    Maybe believing what they need to believe in order to vote for who they want to vote for and still live with themselves. They will act surprised later.
    Mirrors my thoughts on things as they now stand.

    Rather than losing money Trump is the first president in the entire history of the Republic to monetize the presidency while in office.

    Trump made up to $160 million from foreign countries as president

    Trump’s Business Hauled In $2.4 Billion During Four Years He Served As President

    Trump overcharged Secret Service to stay at his hotel during presidency, House Democrats say

    For the average Joe there’s little difference in what Trump did(in that regard) and what Biden did.


    Mind you I understand the difference.

    He will damn sure try to end free and fair elections. He's been doing so for nine years already, with claims of election fraud months before any votes were cast in 2016.

    Trump's rhetoric is straight out of "Mein Kampf" and Nazi propaganda: "animals who infest" and "poison our blood". He can't deport 11 million migrants without putting them in detention camps. And why would the white supremacist, KKK and neo-Nazi goons that follow him stop with migrants, when Trump says that half of our population is made up of "vermin".

    Remember . . . the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

    What more do you need to realize the danger he poses?

    I think that might apply to Trump's low information willfully ignorant supporters who get their news from social media and the right-wing media. I'm not sure that the general public is that ignorant.

    When Biden discovered that he had the documents he immediately notified the DOJ and the FBI and invited the FBI to search his office and the garage at his residence. Trump lied about the disposition of the documents and when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago he claimed that he was the victim of a "raid" even though the search was pursuant to a valid search warrant and he was notified in advance of the search. He and his buddies in the right-wing media even went to so far as to claim the FBI was out to kill him based on boilerplate language in the warrant authorizing the use of deadly force in necessary. I would also add that Trump wasn't even present at Mar-a-Lago when the warrant was executed.

    Yeah okay, just how is he going to take away a woman’s right to vote like you suggest?
