Economy was still humming....okay that’s it but that’s usually enough. It was time to play.

Yes even in this part of March it was still not that bad. St. Patrick’s Day or very near to it was when everything started shutting down. One week and everything changed.

$ especially after his fraud scams? "Make America Great Again"? Republican donors should donate to Democrats where their $ will be used to defeat a monster that has destroyed their party & any values it may have once had...

Trump's book is: "Too Much & Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man". I believe she's a credible professional who's opinion I admire & respect...

the news/opinion networks has become a drinking game.

I believe the Trump crime family will include the first American president to be charged with embezzlement. There have been other world leaders that have done this, mostly while the citizens starved. Ferdinand Marcos, for example, had enough wealth when he died that he should have been in charge for over 600 years, based on his annual salary.

I don't know if that counted Imelda's shoes.

Yeah, too much & never enough. He should sit down and actually read that Bible that burns his doll hands so much. He might learn that socialism isn't as evil as capitalism is (intentional lower-case letters).

associates will be charged with much more than embezzlement. Ferdinand Marcos is a good example. Billions of $ were stolen & Imelda had 3,000 pairs of shoes!!! These are some really sick people in power. Yes people starved because of it. People are now going hungry in the US. The pandemic is out of control & should have never gotten this bad. Today 9/8/20, here's where we're @: 6,314,282 cases & 189,400 deaths from C-19 from John Hopkins. UGH!

has drained the Bank. When you are paying people to be quite with a 15k payment each month from your Campaign,well,it adds up.

It the stories are true about how money was transferred to his Hotel Business as Campaign Expenses,well,that is the largest Grift ever pulled off.

In the way he stiffed small contractors and tradesmen throughout his miserable life.

Karma!

The being said, I read that Trump's campaign may follow Karl Rove's strategy during GW's reelection campaign. They basically carpet-bombed key states with ads in the last 2 weeks. Of course, we also had high-jinks in Ohio, another election where I always thought the Dems conceded too quickly.

But that strategy won't work if the margin becomes wider rather than smaller.

The GOP's campaign is in deep trouble at the moment and they know it. For Dems, it means we just keep pushing hard, harder, never giving an inch.
