I detect a surge of desperation with Republicans this morning.

Mike Pence is urging everyone to wear a mask?

The polls are showing Trump behind in normally reliable states for Republicans.

Trump re-assures his base that his internal polling shows him doing very well.

The Supreme Court rules against Louisiana's abortion law.

Nancy Pelosi is requesting a full House hearing on the Russian bounty charges.

A Republican Senator goes on FOX News to say he expects a vaccine for the coronavirus in a couple of months.

It does look like the chickens are coming home to roost.

They are scrambling like chickens with their heads cut off, wondering whether to jump the TRMPTANIC or go down with that shit show ship.

There are the Matt Gaetzes, Gym Jordans, Louie Gohmerts, Lindsey Grahams, Ted Cruzes, Marco Rubios, and the Mitch McConnells who will hold course as it crashes into the Iceburg called the November election.

No Nearer My God To Thee for thee.

8. If Pence is wearing a mask, it's because the powers behind the throne are telling him to prepare
