I don't expect them to ride to the occasion. I do expect the Velveeta Voldemort to call upon his bully boys to create as much chaos as possible. I hope Biden has the National Guard on standby.

And so it begins. The Trump Traitors will slowly ramp up the threats as we head to Election Day, to suppress the anti-Trump vote. I fully expect them to shoot at polling places early on November 5th, to depress turnout nationally. They will attempt to seize power by force and intimidation.

This will be coordinated with major disinformation campaigns launched next week by Putin, Xi and Musk (the Axis of Evil in today's world). Democracy has little chance against this onslaught.

The Fourth Reich is almost here. Heil Fuhrer Trump!

I am going to go out on a hopeful note and say that far more voters will come out for democracy. I do fear violence from the more deranged MAGAs but the country is a functioning democracy with a majority of its citizens participating.

These Fascist/Nazi wannabes need

to be reminded of the outcome of the original practitioners for all their efforts. It didn’t work and they met grim fates of their own doing.

That is my answer to them as an American.

Where has the Press been all these months in fact years that Trump and his sons have been laying the foundation of real doubt about everything from elections to Jan 6 to Charlottesville to Puerto Rico Lies lies lies

Please point out that the president appoints judges and justices who affect implementation of important policies. Trump appointed those who rolled back women’s access to health particularly abortion. Harris will safeguard womens’ rights.

Nearly all mainstream media outlets have style books that forbid reporters from flat out saying that something is a lie or that there is zero evidence for a claim. They must couch it in terms like "there is little evidence" or " it is lacking in context".

Are they prepared?

Plenty of them are all in for Trump.

This is excellent. Here's hoping some of the media prepare. (Though with the "garbage" comment now 24 hours old and still floating around, I have little hope.)

Per usual Froomkin leaves out facts: Harris will continue the GENOCIDE in Palestine. Second, she will move forward with CENSORSHIP that is already out of hand. Third, she has not a single original thought of any kind, no foreign policy to improve the world and relationships with other world leaders. She's an empty pawn to be moved around a board by people who are as inept and venal as the Dems have been for a long time, including Buden, Obama, the Clintons. Why isn't the FACT that all the war mongers have gone over to the Dems and are welcomed with open arms, no pun intended. I can't vote for genocide; why can anyone? Save our "democracy?" What democracy? People are going to take a chance on Trump because RFK, Jr and Tulsi Gabbard will be in his cabinet, not the old war mongers he had last time around.

Trump is the pawn. He's like a carny barker. He's outrageous, but he's also incapable of carrying out most of what he spouts. However, behind the scenes are plenty of well-funded people with a very potent agenda. Unless you're ultrarich, you won't like what a Trump administration will bring. (And the real power brokers will push Trump aside asap; Vance is remarkably easy to manipulate and can complete an entire sentence.

I wrote this a few hours ago. I just got a phone call from someone claiming to be an FBI agent demanding to know where I got that information. A strange conversation followed, and it was clearly not an FBI agent calling, but I got the strong impression that I may have accidentally revealed a very secret plan being discussed among some powerful people. I was instructed not to say or write this again and made to swear that I wouldn't. Of course, that convinced me to drop back and update my remark, which may have more truth than I ever would have suspected. I discussed this with a few close friends first, all of whom confirmed that it actually made sense. Trump's just a false front for people who have much more dangerous ideas than he has babbled about. Scary! (I attempted to call back the number, but there wasn't one.)

MAGA is just another cult for Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK, Jr just want's first chance at road kill. Trump wants Gaza for for a real estate development. It appears that some people don't want a democracy, They want an idiocracy just like the movie.
