Everyone of these actions were designed to suppress the Democrats from voting. I agree with Trump, and that is a rarity, that it was a rigged election. What I am waiting to see is if he loses whether he peacefully welcomes the winner to take over the office or if he foments rebellion.

from the DNC. At Obama's '08 inauguration, the Clintons entered a holding room where the HW Bushes and Carters were standing. Clinton's entered, looked at the Carters, turned their backs to them to greet the bushes instead.
Unforgivable

My memory of Carter is that he's always had the courage to say unpopular things. That's not wise in American politics and he's paid the price for it.

- just the fucking truth - it was a coup and now they are trying to seize power from all other branches of government. Never forget the Carter center overseas elections. This is a very important statement.

Thank you Jimmy Carter.
