The entire RepubliCON Senate, and the entire Republican Party are complicit and more to the point: Enablers and catalysts.......

We are indeed at the threshold of the "Point of No Return" people......

i found this on wiki:
"Election analytics website FiveThirtyEight identifies the states of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin as "perennial" swing states that have regularly seen close contests over the last few presidential campaigns."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_state

he's trying to win over some of the swing states (would be my guess)

He has recently spoken with Putin, what could be better but to have US in a civil war. They both know Trump will not make it through the election so why not burn it all down now.

He wants to be a 'war president' so much that a civil war will do just fine.

Being known and being remembered are vastly more important to his ego than exactly how or why he's to be remembered.

I agree with you -- if I can win, I'm going to burn it all down. Kind of like a spouse abuser -- "If I can't have you, nobody can -- boom!" What is this country coming to, if the Republicans won't say a word -- no matter how dangerous he is?

A civil war would entail too much thinking on his part, but he'd dearly love to see pitched battles and killings and burnings and bloodshed so could say, well, I see both sides doing it, especially antifa.

Of course, if his tweets actually did cause mass mayhem from the Nazi and White-only wing of the Republican Party, he might just have sufficient cause to declare martial law and suspend the November election.

The walls are closing in, Trump is tired of this little game, he just wants to go golfing and hold his rallies, and he's as bored as an impatient four-year-old. He needs to stir up some shit and take the focus off his own failures, and what better way than to incite a little insurrection?

Thanks again, Republican Senators, for telling Donny that it's real good he done all those things.

He's using the other states as well to cover his tracks in plain sight and rabble rouse his Magazi stormtroopers.

Michigan is important battleground state.

making his worst fears come true. No faster way than to support these Nazis to make sure the rest of the state will not vote for him. That is the stupidity of the bully tactics. People have to be willing to give in, rather than the resolve getting stronger.

They are far too cocky and seem unconcerned about the election as if they know something we do not. I am wondering if vote by mail might just be their fear because then the manipulation of machines by Russian actors may not have the effect they need.

What would you suggest to ensure the safety of mail in? I am really quite interested. I live in Canada and we don't vote by mail but have early voting etc and never have any problems because we are not so partisan.

they're enabling him because they get rich from his tax cuts and stimulus bailouts and more. They've made all sorts of sweet deals through insider trading. So they could care less if one of his idiot supporters does something deplorable as long as it doesn't affect them.
