America is moving on - the complete fuck is also

a lame duck. People are discussing what to do to prevent an incompetent thug from stealing the presidency in the future. It is beautiful to watch. The nightmare will soon be over.

It's nice to see leaders out there with brains, heart, and courage, and honesty. For a while we weren't sure they could come to the fore, but they are.

republicans aren't going anywhere, and they will have learned no lesson other than perhaps to vet their presidential candidates slightly better.

they will continue to control the supreme court.
they probably will still control the senate (we can hope, but even now it's really a toss-up at best).
they will still have many key federal judges in place.
they will still have favorable media access and coverage.
they will still have control of a majority of states.

we can and should be hopeful about our chances in november, but it will be merely one battle in a very long war....

Media coverage is waking up to the clear and present danger of "Republicans."

And I am very, very optimistic about taking control of the Senate.

i think our chances may be a bit better, but a lot of things have to line up for it to happen, starting with a biden win in a not close presidential election.

Leans GOP or pro-corporate in all things. That result is excellent and means Democrats are actually 50/50 to take back at the very worst.

Things for the GOP are only going to get worse between now and November.

Sadly, the same is true for the rest of us.

and hard work on our part I feel that we can hang rump around the neck of every thug on the
ballot this fall. For instance every time I converse with anyone about the Senate race(Cunningham v Tillis) I make sure to hang
the impeachment vote on Tillis and how much of a tool he has been for both rump and Moscow mitch during his tenure. I also hint at the fact that he eats babies and would have everyone in chains, if he gets his way.

folks were warned about a trump administration and yet I saw that bernie folks said yesterday they couldn't vote for Biden. I kept saying okay vote for trump. They kept saying why they couldn't vote for Biden and I kept saying vote for trump. What fools! They've learned nothing from 2016.

I want to see Congress members in prison after profiting off Covid-19 from insider stocks, or spreading misinformation to the public!

And that includes the TOTAL orange butthole leading the shit show.

We need to make it clear, when you are elected to office of the people, you have a fiduciary to the people. People are not corporations my friend, or all board members and majority stock holders will be held liable for the corporate actions.

It's time to take our country back, and the pound of flesh will be paid by those that have tried to dismantle it.

Any more than we can start breathing easy (so to speak) and decide that, because the curve MAY be flattening, everything’s just all ducky again and we can run on ahead and open back up.

I worry that too many Americans will somehow transmogrify that into some sort of “all clear” signal and drop their guard. And we’d certainly have the Contagion-in-Chief pushing that along, I fear.

I specifically remember the smugness on our side when we knew Hillary had it in the bag.

Remember that last time we were fighting a millionaire who smothers the news cycle

Now he is a cult figure to the Magats.

I base this on loud mouths right before social distancing. My last primary observation was 3 weeks ago. As far as I am concerned with health risks my goal is to vote in November nothing will deter me. When one approach’s me I intend to cough in my elbow.

They will try, and may cause the failure of the USPS before the election to eliminate mail in voting. It's obvious by now they don't care who they mame or kill to stay in power -- you have to be in a coma to not see it. And yet, 30% of the population will always vote for the man who kills them or their loved ones.

A millionaire “who smothers the news cycle.” (I added the “s” to “new”. But I’m guessing that’s what you meant.)

Either way, your messaging is spot on. I love how you put it - “smothers” is a great word to use to describe what that Orange Fuck is doing. Perfect, as a matter of fact!
