We're Doing It Again....

Everybody is saying 100% that Trump will cheat in the 2020 November election. In a crazy way - we are giving Trump permission to cheat. He'd be a fool if he didn't cheat as everyone is expecting him to cheat.

This is how we embolden and enable Trump. We got to stop doing this.

3. No, confidence that we're going to WIN needs to be our approach.

And, honestly, we are. We're already winning. We have the majority.

2. I think the other side of the coin is that we all know possibly that cheating will be tried...

and we're on guard for it, better I suspect that in 2016. Awareness goes a long way towards defeating such attempts, just like the plishers who attempt to steal your SSN and/or IDs/passwords to systems. We all know not to open unknown links sent to us by unknown parties, etc. Awareness and knowledge goes a long way.

5. Trump has asked for help from Russia, China, and Ukraine.

Those are the countries we know of, because he did it on live TV and a phone call.

How many other countries has he asked for help ???

We don't know because there is zero transparency in this administration.

Trump and his family are crooks.

Trump's appointments are crooks.

Trump's cult is brainwashed and deny facts, data, math, and science.

They don't care or know he is a crook.

The cult of politicians that follow Trump are crooks.

They are famous at cheating in elections to win.

They have faced zero consequences for voter suppression, illegal redistricting, etc.

It seems the odds favor Trump cheating.

7. Oh - And By The Way - Now We Are Giving Him Permission To.....

pardon Roger Stone. Why? We're expecting him to pardon Stone and in Trump's mind - if they are expecting me to pardon him - I'd be a fool not to give them what they expect from me.

Emboldened and enabled. We're doing it again.

And Trump says: What are you gonna do - impeach me?

6. This website exists because a Republican cheated to win the Presidency.

Ignoring the fact that nothing has changed probably won't prove to be helpful.

8. What's your suggestion?

Because he IS going to attempt to cheat. It's who he is and what he does.
He's a cheater. He got impeached for trying to cheat. Turning a blind eye or a closed mouth, won't work. Awareness is essential to counter it.

besides the acquittal.

You know, those treasonous bastards that just let him off? I had nothing to do with it.
