These GOP a**holes are acting too confident, and mind you it is an act. But I am worry about the integrity of our voting systems, as in, there isn't any. There hasn't been any since 2000. But that's a third rail for the American media so it's generally unknown. What if the Repubs go all in and steal elections willy nilly? Who would stand up against them? Even if they were caught red handed, Republicans would still have three months to maneuver. And these are desperate men. A lot of key players took money from the Russians. Are they going to give up ultimate power for obscurity or even arrest? Trump is meeting with police chiefs tomorrow in Florida. Sarah H Sanders said he would talk about, among other things, restoring law and order. I wasn't aware law and order was in need of restoring. But it plays into their narrative that liberals are violent and unhinged. That speech will be worth taking in. I know it's far fetched, but these are desperate times.
Call me crazy but I've had the willies over this for a couple of days.

I kid you not.

I find it incredible that so many people are driven by hatred, bigotry and their own ignorance.
Step one is taking back the House next month. If we don't, America is over. Sorry to depress you even more, but, evidently, this is the way empires end.
If we can take the House next month, there is some hope. But that will be merely step one on the long road back to what America is (supposed to be) about.
