"A simpering, lying, frightened fool"

The truth will set us free

mailbox removal, destroying sorting machines in the Post Office TO HANDLE THE HUGE VOLUM OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS THAT THE POSTAL SYSTEM has to handle, PROVES PEOPLE ARE PISSED AND the trump chump machine know they are on the way out, deny overtime in the Post Office to take care of a legal, constitutional right every American has to vote, have a Postmaster General appointed who is a republican crony who with his wife hold major stock in competing mail movement companies like UPS and others, WE ARE STILL GOING TO WIN

But it makes a great closing line for a movie, which it was.

But the sentiment is perfectly valid. I want the sleeping giant of decent, honorable, progressive America to clobber Trump and his criminal empire, and give them a beating they'll never recover from...

those words, but I will take them to describe what's waking in America in this 21st century, 2020 election-mandate for Joe and Kamala. In 2016 I was emotionally invested in a victory for Hillary Rodham Clinton and broken-hearted and truly disturbed upon waking up on November 4th. I have always gone to sleep before the final counts are announced. I know this time around because of the extenuating circumstance(s) we might have to wait a bit to see that clown marched out of 1600 into the arms of hopefully, arresting officers from New York state and not his "I don't care, do U, "model" first to 'model' lady.

I will be doing the same, hopefully with a roomful of friends? This fool has fffdd up things so badly that's the reason for ? mark. But toast I shall. And will be awake all the time I have to be. I didn't think I could ever be as emotionally invested as I was for HRC, this time it's past that and off the scales.

that simpering, lying frightened fool is dreading November. Hell he, even in his delusional state, he knows rational, logical Americans are not buying his bullshit anymore like we ever did. His 28% or so 'base' is always going to follow their Fuhrer. The rest of us will march that dud out of our house the White House in November.

I'm convinced that any and all blockades that Trump and his ugly goon squad throws up to suppress the vote will backfire spectacularly. The electorate doesn't have to guess about what these criminals are doing because they're sabotaging out loud and in clear daylight. Between the excitement of Kamala Harris' addition to the Dem ticket and the mounting outrage of the American majority, the goon squad knows they're losing as we head into the last 80 days.

All Trump's doing is inspiring a huge, historic turnout. Even with Covid still in the mix, voters will indeed crawl over broken glass to bring down and obliterate these treason weasels.

We're going to win this thing!
