I am so glad Rachel exposed the GOP's October surprise and its

co-conspirators, Grassley, Graham and others. They have been conspiring with Russia to come up with a bunch of stuff they claim Biden did while having connections with Ukraine. In the midst of it is Giuliani and his Russian connection. Tonight's broadcast needs to be blasted everywhere. Stay tuned for a bunch of denials tomorrow.

Where just about anything can be bought, even the government?

American capitalism is completely mad. Vital things should never be allowed to be up for sale.

It’s not really THAt much of a surprise and I suspect Biden’s campaign is already preparing for a response. This is what I remember as a way of reassurance. Also, I would suspect come behind the scenes help to Biden from intelligence agencies and others alarmed about Trump. We’re in a whole different world this time where the stakes are too high. That’s my feeling anyway.

understand any of it. If R's think they can smear Biden with Russia and Ukraine nonsense, they better have a pee tape of Joe being peed on at the Ritz by donkeys.

But Johnson and Grassley weren't the first Senators involved with the Russians. Must be tag-team time.

We've been down that road. It got blown up in House testimony last Fall. It's so old and stale, there's gray fuzz growing on it.

I recall Obama warned us of doctored videos before the 2016 election.
Now I know he was referring to Russian work.

This is a guy who idolized Roy Cohn. He's not going down without multiple moves that will be every bit as unpredictable as despicable

And even defanging this one will take a lot of publicity. in the middle of a pandemic.

Im betting there will also be an october vaccine
And something with the PO
And probably a few others

and PO Software meltdown
and hacking our electrical grid, that's been off the front pages for a couple years - straight from the movie "Spy Game"
and litigation on voter suppression and evictions and no voting credentials
and sudden public health measures to secure the safety of the vote
So you can't vote without credentials, you can vote by mail in some states if the PO delivers your ballot, you can't vote if you've been evicted or have no current residence, and you can vote in person but the lines are 6-3/4 hours long and you have to wear a mask in some locales.

I know my local Democratic committeeman will have solutions locally, but in dense areas they'd be overwhelmed.

Our best bet might be to discourage MAGAts if that's possible. Some of them are getting tired and sick and fearful too
