Rob Reiner: We The People must put this Malignant Fire Out.



Rob Reiner ✔@robreiner

Make no mistake. We are sliding headlong into Autocracy. The checks & balances of 3 co-equal branches of government are gone. The People’s House is on fire. No more fighting over minor policy differences. This Nov. We The People must put this Malignant Fire Out.

to get rid of Trump. Turnout will be key, just as it was in 2018.

If ANY of us balks or stays home or thinks it doesn’t make any difference or has “something else more important” to do that day than voting, then we’re guaranteed being ruled by a self-proclaimed king.

And it will be no one else’s fault but our own.

(Btw: Whoever just gave me another heart - a hearty THANKS! ❤️ )

count is better than the odds of winning the lottery. Then again, I vote but don't participate in the volunteer tax thing

If they lined Coke bottles up from North to South Texas, hundreds and hundreds of miles, winning would be like picking the one right bottle.

I will be GOTV.

My husband and I and some friends have been planning a trip to E. Europe in September. We are re-thinking it, due to the election.

Interested in your thoughts.

Reservations are 2-fold:

having to explain our fuckedup country to the world, including that we don't support the orange heinous.

And 2: should we be at home "prepping" in case he wins in November?

that this was all accomplished with a sub-standard, immoral, crude, rude, totally ignorant failure at the helm. What the HELL happened? The gop must have been praying for someone with low morals such as tRump to show up.

Due to the passage of the statewide ballot proposal 18-3, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absentee voter ballot without providing a reason.

Every registered voter can be put on a Permanent Absentee Voter list at their respective clerk's offices. You know longer have to be a senior citizen or have an excuse for why you want to vote absentee.

I have always been a proponent of allowing everyone to vote in the privacy of their home. Some people are too intimidated by the process and lines if they have to vote at a precinct. This was another result of the big blue wave in 2018.
