And he will too. If 40-50%
of Democrats vote by mail,
and 80% of conservatives
vote in person, this
election is done.Trump has
publicly admitted he's
going to launch a court
challenge to demand no
mail-in votes are counted
after election night, and
he expects a loaded supreme
court to rule his
way.Essentially, if you
vote by mail, you may as
well not vote.

Who would have thought America would become a banana
republic?

I remember an interview with Kenneth Johnson regarding the
first 'V' miniseries.

He was asked why he chose aliens. His response was, he
wanted to make a show about America becoming a fascist
state and aliens was the only plausible way he could think
of.

Oh for a return to those days.

I'm enjoying this look at the current president and how so much wealth is being transferred to the wealthy in the US.

One thing Trump keeps making sure to repeat over and over is that mail-in ballots are not legitimate. Thus his supporters will not be voting that way right? So after the election, in those two months when he isn't pardoning all his friends, can he have mail-in ballots audited? If they can be, they are mainly all going to be for Biden, as his supporters won't be voting that way much if at all, the AG and Supreme Court could be asked to make a statement or ruling on their legitimacy while he can point to the high number of Biden mail-in votes as 'proof' the mail-in votes aren't legitimate.

The Plot Against America shows it could have been done as a historical what if scenario. Having watched the HBO limited series I'd say that was a very effective way to show how America could lose its way.

This "mail-in votes are not legitimate" thing puzzles me.  The great state of Oregon had gone ALL mail-in for state AND federal elections (including Presidential) since 2000 - two DECADES ago - without incident.  

In 2016 there wasn't a peep from either Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump's campaign about the "legitimacy" of Oregon's two decade old system -  and no court had ever come within a country mile of declaring it invalid or unconstitutional.

Only now, when more and more states are choosing this method and it looks like he MIGHT lose (with no proof of correlation to this method of voting) - does Trump launch a full throated assault on the legitimacy of mail-in voting (except in Florida, of course, where the support of a Republican governor and state legislature can be counted upon).

I realize that I am RIDICULOUSLY, INSANELY expecting some sort of rational principled consistency from Trump - shame on me!!!

And also the state from which Trump votes using the absentee, or mail
in, ballot.

Florida and Trump Supporters in general have me confounded. They are usually a demographic that would benefit from more Democratic policies, but oppose them. I understand the fanatics in religion because they are accustomed to deluding themselves, but the farmers losing their farms, elderly in jeopardy of loosing Social Security, etc.?

Pernickety Pete is back and he wants to talk about one of his bugbears, which is that we are losing the word losing to a much looser spelling of the word.

There is no way this election is not going to the Supreme Court.

Free & fair looks like it will be the catch all buzz line from the Trump
House that we will hear ad infinitum between now & 4th November.
& then we will hear it until the newly stacked Supreme Court, with its
newly elected official who will have had to pledge allegiance to the
devil, sorry to Trump, will rule in Trumps favour.

It’s coming. That full on fascist dictatorship is coming

“That full on fascist dictatorship is coming.”

Yeah...it seems so.  But we must ask ourselves “how can this be?”

Think about just how many Americans are letting this happen WILLINGLY.   Because if there weren’t a substantial number of citizens supporting this notion with their hearts, votes and money the GOP and Trump would have NEVER made it this far.   

This country is a failure.  A broken failure.  And it was doomed from the start because it was built on a foundation of evil lies.   

I am expecting the absolute worst in November.  My deepest wish Is to be proven wrong.
