what would really be awesome would be if we started calling republican politicians and media personalities who stand behind him psychopathic nuts as well.

They’ll need it to restrain him as they drag him from the White House screaming, “ But, I won! I won!” Now that I would pay to see.

and I would argue borderline. If you have had any in your life - home, work, relationships - you know they are just experts at twisting reality, creating uproar, and getting their way, while ignoring all conventional boundaries.

Dropping the psychological terms, I would just call them provocateurs. It's like they're firebombing everything while dabbling as agent provocateur - empowering, coercing others to do their bidding.

And no one is able to stop them.

In the mean time DT and the GOP are doing everything they can to overturn an election with litigation that looks like it was written by a 5yr old, they can’t even get the states right. Out of 30 lawsuits DT has won 2 and the Dems are SILENT.

DT is bringing election officials from GOP controlled states to the WH to try and get them to ignore the voters...and the Dems are SILENT.

DT has been tweeting blatant lies and what could rightly be called seditious language. Fanning the flames of hate by his supporters that are causing state officials to get death threat...and the Dems are SILENT.

States say they certify election results and then turn around and say oops we were wrong it’s not certified...and Dems are SILENT.

For 17 days now the GOP has strung this out buying time while they throw everything at the wall to find something that sticks and Dems have been SILENT.

The GSA is refusing to sign transition paperwork. Holding up funds and losing vital time.

And all of this is being done while a PANDEMIC is ravaging Americans, killing hundreds every day.

If this was the other way around and Dems were doing these things lawsuits, lying, trying to flip officials, the GOP would be hammering the Dems relentlessly daily turning over every legal rock, doing every possible thing they could to stop this. The one recurring theme I always hear when talking politics with people about the Dems is they are weak. Especially over the last 4 yrs DT his cabinet & McConnell have been about as disrespectful and blatant in giving the finger to the Dems as possible. The Supreme Court is a clear example. I understand Dems don’t have a lot of power but they don’t even use the power they have. Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff should be on TV or issuing press releases daily hammering the GOP for this but they are not and doing nothing at all looks much worse then doing nothing and not getting the result you hoped for.

I’ve taken food Pizzas / Subs and dropped off (it’s not much but it’s something). I wear mask always, social distance, do not go out. The area I manage I ensure there are 5 or less people in at all times and that they wear masks and stay 6’ away so I or any of my coworkers end up in the hospital adding to the burden of what our healthcare workers are already going through. As a 1st responder I have inquired about volunteering at the hospital but that is not something they allow. Like I said it’s not much but it is something and yes, I also rant/vent once in a while due to the enormous frustration I feel because of what has happened to this country and a lack of intestinal fortitude by the Democratic Party.

In the nineties Newt Gingrich and his minions held angry press conferences nearly every day and it was always on the news. Trump babbling is always in the news. But somehow it's the fault of Democrats that their press conferences aren't in the news.

I have and I have heard nothing. If I have missed something please enlighten me. I heard Pelosi made a comment on a phone call and I have seen Schumer’s tweets about it being day “x” and trump still has no plan to fight COVID but I have heard nothing from either leaders on the what trump has been doing to undermine the election. I have heard more from a group of ex GOP strategists then from Democratic Party.
