"SNIP....

President Trump openly admitted on Fox & Friendsthat if voting were made easier — as Democrats pushed for in the $2.2 trillion relief bill — Republicans wouldn’t win elections.

Said Trump: “The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”

After the virus outbreak is over, and after the Democrats take back control of our government, there need to be Nuremberg type trials held, so that these evil traitors can be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced for their crimes.

We vote in a democracy to legally express the Will of the People. He just said, basically, that Republicans are not really representing the Will of the true Majority and that efforts to prevent that are legitimate.

And the GO-Pee is exactly what foments and supports the major problems with this country now, therefore, we are being told we should not have the right to exorcise their toxic impact on OUR country.

That was one of the most honest things Trump has ever put into his scripted character. It leaks out here and there and now and then.

That's a huge insult to this country, our Constitution and democracy itself. We are democracy! Let's remember this one.

Hey tRUMP, you say that like it's a bad thing but that's what you're bringing on yourself...
And that's good!
