and I keep wondering about how upset they are going to beat when Trump loses in November.

I hate to say it, but it could get ugly. That is my worry.

I'm really worried about what he'll do if it looks like he'll loose in November. That maniac will drop the big one somewhere, start a damn war, declare a national emergency and call off the election. Either that or he "won't accept" the results, (remember when he said he'd only accept the results of 2016 if he won?) declare the election invalid, and refuse to leave office. And the damn rethugs will let him.

Right now my hopes lie with our military and intelligence communities. The legal system has been co-opted by Barr and it's now obvious that Roberts will do nothing to stop him either. But he has pissed off the military...I'm sure he has pockets of support, but on the whole, I think they have no time for him. And we all know what our intelligence community can do.

What I've never been able to figure out is why all these supposed adults are letting the older version of a 5th grade school yard bully cow them so much. Especially since he, like all bullies, folds as soon as he's challanged. I have a feeling that a lot of those rethugs probably were bullied in school and never got over it.

Germany, Canada, France and all other freedom loving nations to forward all dirt on trump from their Intel services to the DNC. What’s good for the goose, (or fat Nixon, in this case.)

And tossed them in front of him during his speech.

She could have later said that she was so inspired by him making our military so strong... You know, mocked him by imitating a feigned tRUMPer.

stay at their level,,do not back down. Biggest thing we do is Back Down. Nancy made her statement today and got under azzholes skin. and he went off rails in the East Room. Never back Down, like we did in impeachment,,played the game by R rules they set up. Nancy playing the game we all should play. They set the bar. We play. But now ,let's play at their bar level, and how they play when they lose. we will all need to get a little dirty along the way to save this.

they need to lose also. We have to keep that in the forefront. In some ways, I think getting rid of the GOP Senators in November is more important than anything. Without these ass kissers, he'd be a nothing.

Hyper holier than thou from now on is how he plays. Each new event is the opportunity for persona pivots. He shows the guilt ridden Repubs -- when we meet them and beat them how to make themselves saints.

Keep watching Pelosi. Listen to how she clarifies evil posing in contrast real Christian behavior.



Believers and "good church people" rallies are the very venues in which he frames "the perfect as the enemy of the good" politics he'll use against all Democrats forever.

If Jesus were around, he'd be upending tables anywhere near this Antichrist.

Michelle Obama's sleeveless arms give them the vapors, yet not a peep about the hundreds of slutty photos of their naked Slovenian porn actress wife of Dear Leader that are plastered all over the World Wide Web. They probably have enlarged, framed versions of them hanging on the walls of their homes. It's time to just start pointing and laughing at them, because that's the only kind of attention their childish hypocrisy deserves.
