But I'm getting that "darkest just before the dawn" vibe. Trump's rambling, disconnected media appearance, paranoid overreaction to the street demonstrations and barricading the White House indicate to me that he's reaching the end of his rope. We'll have to see how many sycophants and courtiers really, truly want to go down the rabbit hole after their hero. Certainly some of them in the most jeopardy (criminally speaking) will go down like Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove. But how many others will voluntarily go full dignity wraith for Trump's sake?

Lil' Lindsey is so "into" the turd he dyed his hair to match...

I believe that Vlad has dirt on ALL the republicans who are goosestepping to the turd's march. Putin invited them to Moscow, and while they were there he offered to fulfill their wildest dreams, and he has it on video. ESPECIALLY the Lindster.

There can be no other reason for American citizens in political office to, so wholeheartedly, attempt to destroy their own country.

SOME PEOPLE SAY that Vlad has them by the balls, and is squeezing, and they can't cooperate fast enough.

I got his "no reply" emails. From alleged Russian interference, to well Russia interfered but it didn't change the outcome, and well Trump is guilty of what the House intelligence committee and the full House impeached him on but I just don't care.

Portman as a young man did the length of the Rio Grande and still turned out to be a dick. He campaigned on hurting gay people even knowing that he had a gay son and he took millions from Russia in 2016 too.

I'm late for lunch, or contact my office, or "I hadn't seen that" (a lie) and then all those that just walked past. And the lunch was probably a fundraiser. I'm sick of these arrogant assholes.

He creates the image that he is under seige in order to justify military action against unarmed civilians.

My take on the WH security fencing and personal militia type guards is that he is planning some drastic action that he knows will cause an angry reaction or even an attempt at physically removing him. So he is beefing up security to hold onto power.

Since there are still a few months until the election, it's a little too early for him to prepare for announcing that Biden's win is fraudulent so he's not leaving. That's why I suspect that he is planning something else that he believes requires added security for himself.

I said he had a chance and we must not let our fight wain. He will lose the popular vote. But he can still get an electoral win.

Saying there is no was he will win will make people complacent and not vote. Many failed to show up for Hillary because they thought she was a shoo in. Let's not let that happen again.

I've been disappointed more times than I can count when I hear that or words to that effect.
There have been so many other, absolutely clear, no question about it situations that are "about to" finally be dealt with.

And then nothing.

I fear your bank is bankrupt.

We cant let up, not even a little bit.
They are banking on us thinking we have this in the bag. The worst possible thing that can happen is for us to show a huge lead in the polls...people might just not show up to vote if they think we have this easily. 2016 is a prime example.
This needs to be all hands on deck, full speed ahead, and any other stupid cliche you want to insert until we cross that finish line!!
