Each day there are new Trump insults to right and wrong.

Each day more die because of Trump.

Each day our relations with global community are damaged.

November 3 may well be too late.

he saw what #Moscow Mitch did with Garland, then he saw what happened in Wisconsin, and if there is no Congress in session, then how can there a seating of the electoral college............if #Moscow Mitch can't agree with Pelosi.................maybe I am just paranoid, but I put nothing past this traitor..............nothing, he knows he is going to lose the election and Wisconsin was just a harbinger of what is coming next...........is ass in jail along with some others..............

Without a national election, he and Pence are out and the number three in line, Nancy Pelosi, becomes president. If no place has its election (and Nancy Pelosi is not elected by her district), number four in line is the Senior Majority Senator who didn't face an election. Because so many Republicans are up for election, the Democrats would become the majority party by default and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) would become president.

Not accounting for what happens to the power dynamic once outgoing senators are gone, it would fall to Senate President Pro Tempore if state governments don't appoint representatives who would then choose a new Speaker before January 20, 2021 in the event that there is no election.

from Vermont and it IS NOT Sanders!

I think they would pick a different President pro tempore though (they can vote for any Senator and Vermont has a Rethug governor), probably Harris or the Senator (if it is a Senator) who Biden picked to be his VP (if it is not Harris)

I’m thinking his staff monitor him throughout the day. And in the afternoon it’s a mad scramble to determine the right mix of uppers and downers to give him.

I just finished a pissing match with a MAGAt on FB to which she could only insert a LOL emoji to my reasoned, fact-based arguments. All I get is "You're such a libtard, etc." I FUCKING HATE THIS FUCKING COUNTRY RIGHT NOW!!! We are doomed.

England' s Charles I claimed that, as king, he had absolute power and authority. The English people did not agree. Charless I disbanded parliament, more than once, which also did not set well with the people.

It did not end well for Charles.
