Trump and his cult are now---plainly stated---spending hundreds of millions of dollars in a

flailing attempt to create the ILLUSION that he is competent AND competitive.

Putin-aided trolls and hackers slandering Joe and Kamala? Check.

"Manipulated" videos? Check.

Inciting Proud Boys and other fascistic incels to sow "chaos and violence"? Check.

Purchasing polls? Check.

Illegally employing his coterie of chancred whores---Barr, Pompeo, De Joy, etc.---to do LITERALLY ANYTHING to keep him in power? Check.

Blackmailing the GOP PTB with "kompromat" provided by Putin? Check.

Enlisting Trumpist state legislatures to suppress the vote of minorities and students? Check.

In general, the Trumpists have decided that any laws, rules, customs or PEOPLE who stand in the way of extending Trump's autocracy can be disregarded or destroyed. This will succeed only if we ALLOW it.

Whatever you are doing to elect the Biden/Harris ticket now, kick it up a notch or two, okay?

That's one I had not considered, but it would/could explain why all those "principled leaders" in the GOP have become silent enablers for Trump.

We're going to have to Clorox the entire White House.

Or simply torch it. I don't know how else to cleanse all that filth from an entire building of that kind.

Most likely there is at least a hundred bugs planted when the Russians visited the WH. It definitely needs a lousing for bugs both living and mechanical.
