With Trumpass at the helm, we have been in danger, our nation and its people have been at risk.

The most dangerous time for the country and its citizens is still to come. The time we will be most at risk is between the day he loses in November 2020 through January 20, 2021.

Think it can’t get any worse? Think again.

When he loses, he will do his best to claim it was a fraudulent election and will do his best to engage Barr and SCOTUS to back him up. This will get very ugly.

He could smash and break things out of sheer spite and I expect him to do just that. While Covid-19 rages again when we all go back inside in the Fall. Ugh.

Reminds me of when I was a kid, January 1979. Outgoing TN Governor Ray Blanton was pardoning prisoners with abandon in his pardons for cash scheme. State officials, both Dem and Rep, got together to put a stop to it and found that the TN constitution doesn't clearly specify a date when one administration ends and another begins. So they gave the oath to the incoming governor early. That new governor was none other than Lamar Alexander....before he went reichwing nutzoid crazy. Unfortunately, the US Constitution is very specific on when a presidential term ends. At noon, January 20. Something tells me it's going to be a long, cruel winter.

I tried to get all the way across the state without stopping, seemed risky to make a stop there at the time.
