We don't have this wrapped up. Keep your eye on the ball.

Stop buying the daily, weekly, monthly bullshit that Trump is done. The horrible monster isn't through until he's beaten in November and then dragged from the White House on January 20, 2021.

The Republican Party will do everything in their power to avoid the defeat of Trump and the loss of the senate. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING. They will close polling places in black areas as they have already done in Kentucky. The governor of Florida has already fired and appointed a new (Republican) election supervisor in Palm Beach County, FL, a Democratic stronghold. They will do anything they have to do to hold onto power. They never bought into that "Make America Great Again" bullshit Trump was peddling. The true motto of the Republican Party is "Me, me, me and fuck everyone else."

Anyone who thinks that an obvious madman in the White House can't win this election is deluding themselves. We are up against an enemy who thinks that the "wrong side" won the Civil War. And make no mistake about it. Republicans are our deadly enemies. We must, MUST win the presidency and the senate.

And if we can pull that off, we will have many years of work in front of us to repair the immense damage they have done. But, of just as great importance, we must hold those who have spent the past four years trying to destroy our democracy accountable. Trump and his criminal enterprise cannot be allowed to just walk away. If they do, it will be a message to the next gangsters who come along that there is no cost for trying to fuck and steal democracy.

3. Yep

That’s why gloating over the small turnout in Tulsa plays right into his hands (IMO). Being amused and making light fun of it, then moving on, is fine. But if we focus on it too much that overshadows what I think is far more important and that is the his rally ramblings. The lack of any mention of COVID-19 or BLM, for starters. And his infantile focus on the ramp and drinking water from a glass. Ted Lieu got it right with his “new campaign ad” mocking Trump drinking a water glass at the Rally. THAT’S how you hit back at Trump. But if you make it all about his lackluster crowd size it gives Trump an easy win the next rally that is anywhere near capacity.

As you say, let’s keep our eye on the ball here.

5. I've been thinking the same. Not to say that I'm not enjoying bunkerboy's humiliation,

but I will be worried and phone canvassing for Biden until November.

7. They will pull out all stops to steal this election.

From all the foreign interference to Barr running around trying to subvert the justice system by trying to throw out sitting judges and replacing them with tRump lackeys. Look also closely to the coming weeks and months on John Durham whom Barr tasked to "investigate" the Deep State "interference in the 2016 election on behalf of Clinton by the FBI and US intelligence services. One can hope that Durham, seeing how Berman outmaneuvered Barr by getting one of his own appointees installed as his replacement, instead of Barr's hand-picked lackey appointee who would make tRump's troubles just disappear, Durham will try to maintain some professional integrity. If he has integrity. Because if this develops as Barr (and tRump) want, the lead up to November 3 will get very ugly and they will be reframing the narrative. This thing is far, far from over because these monsters won't stop doing everything they can to subvert the process and manipulate the results. And, more worrisome is the fact that, there are no guarantees that the tRump family will leave the White House on January 20th, even if it is proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they lost the election. This is going to get very, very ugly and that crime family won't just leave because they have criminal legal battles facing them as soon as they depart as citizens, and not as some sort of royal processional into normal citizenry.
