3. So he's convinced that if absentee ballots are counted he will lose the election

And then go off to the courts to claim that we stole the election that he himself stole in 2016? The ultimate projection.

Two for my son who moved 13 years ago and registered in that state.
Two for my husband who died 5 years ago
Two for me.

But I sent away for my absentee ballot in June. Just got it!!

9. He has said it out loud, we now know what he wants his supporters to do.

He also knows there will be a response.

He is trying his damndest to start the war. Once it starts, he can then initiate martial law.

THAT may not end as he thinks, either. There are a lot more of us than there are of them.

If you think about it, this whole "militia" think may work for us. I believe the founder's purpose of a militia was to prevent the people from being run over by the government.

Sure they are armed to the teeth. But we outnumber the white supremacists BIGLY, and a lot more of us are armed than they think. They will not be the victors.

11. He isn't planning anything.

It is Miller, Bannon and Putin (and The Federalist Society). The turd is nothing more than the guy who gets the coffee for the ones making the decisions.

He is the epitome of a "sock puppet". He provides the focus for the outrage, 'cause it gets him on the teevee machine, while THEY supply blue prints for the chaos which results in Putin running the good 'ol US of A. They believe they will become the equivalent of Russian oligarchs. Power and money which can't be taken away.

15. Absolutely, that's what he is doing.

He's setting up for a power grab. Not sure why he is advertising it, except that he needs to talk to his base. And they are getting bolder.

I wonder how many of these menacing assholes are Vets? Because, Vets can bring it. These wannabe Brown Shirts may find their fannies handed to them by some pissed off, overly tired Vet who just wants to get through the pandemic in one piece.

13. That's a dictatorship, Donny -- not a democracy

So go fuck yourself and maybe look into running some tiny tin-pot outfit -- preferably on another planet

14. We laugh at the nonsense things he usually says but when one clump falls into a structured sentence

suddenly we take what he says at face value?
