Talking about being 7 months into this pandemic & the numbers are worse than any time since the pandemic began while tRump is holding maskless rallies all over the country, red state govs pretending everythings alright. Also, talking about the many dirty tricks desperate tRump and repukes are pulling as they know their time is running out. I can't remember when I've been this mad. Its going to be a long 11 days.

1. I was the same. I was so angry I had to turn her off.

I haven't been so angry in a very long time.

I think it had to do with her staying on the infection chart and explaining that we never flatten the curve. We stop the exponential growth and settle down. But we stay at a high level. So when the next wave comes, we start at a higher level, thus the next peak is much higher than the last one.

[yaesu]

10. I have a bottle of wine I was saving for a special occasion, like tRump getting the boot, but

I may need to break it open, have a few just to calm down.

[Claustrum]

12. I just hope our nightmare will end soon.

If Trump somehow get re-elected, I am sure I will leave the US. Luckily, there is a new way I can get out in the last couple of days. So I have a good backup to fall on.

[yaesu]

15. I'm happy for you, I know I would if I could. nt

[Claustrum]

21. I prefer not to. I call US home and I don't want Trump to drive me out.

I immigrated here when I was 14. It wasn't fun. Adopting to a new culture is hard, and it's harder now that I am older. And I have to worry about a new career as my profession only applies in the US. But I don't think I can take another 4 years of Trump. Plus, it will take me 5 years to get citizenship there so I can re-evaluate after I am done with citizenship there.

Good news is. Biden is in good shape and we should win. I still believe there are more reasonable Americans than the crazies. I truly hope I won't have to use that last resort.

41. Me, too

My husband has a first cousin who lives in New Zealand, and we are fortunate enough to meet the income requirement to emigrate. Yet, I don't want to leave south Texas. I moved here in Dec. 1979 and I decided within 6 months that I never wanted to leave. I'm 66 and I feel like the rest of my life hangs in the balance of the outcome of this election. On one side, I'm seeing historic levels of voter turnout in TX and many other states that should mean there is a blue tsunami coming. However, I am still haunted by the results of the 2016 election.

I just want the election to be over. Win or lose, I feel like the rest of my life hinges upon the results.

2. Gonna get way way worse. Putin wants us dead, GOP and traitor are doing what he tells

them to do.

[mucifer]

3. Yup, that's my theory, too. Another plus for putin is the economy is destroyed

[TheRealNorth]

5. It's not just Putin that wants us dead.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. If he could, traitor would end ALL humans who dont support him.

[triron]

24. Like Nikita said 'we will bury you without firing a shot'.

[spanone]

4. And the republican senate is shoving a right-wing nut up our asses

[Nevilledog]

16. And not in a fun way.

[dem4decades]

6. Thank you for telling us what the show was about.

[yaesu]

13. She said she believes repukes know they are going to lose, whether they do or not, and that they

are rushing their agenda through as fast as they can.

[idziak4ever1234]

8. I am incredibly concerned that Republican dirty tricks will succeed.

[Ilsa]

9. Our baseline is so much higher than before.

It's infuriating. I'm glad my parents have been gone awhile, and I don't have to worry about them, too.

[yaesu]

11. I feel the same about my parents, not having to witness the total mess we are in. nt

[bdamomma]

25. My parents and

relatives who fought so hard for us would be so distraught to see what this country has become.

I'm glad my parents are not here to see this horrible decay of our country. We got to get our country back.

[yaesu]

30. Well said 👍👍👍 nt

[Ilsa]

35. There is no sense of sacrifice for

the nation or the greater good. People like trump only consider, "what's in it for me?"

Our morality is in deep trouble, and I'm not talking about sex or drugs. I'm referring to the lack of motivation to advance humanity and humanitarianism.

[MustLoveBeagles]

28. I'm in agreement with you, yaesu and bdamomma

I can't imagine going through this and constantly worrying about my parents or grandparents.

[Maraya1969]

14. I wonder how much of the increase is directly from the Trump rallies. I realize that opening

the bars is a big contributing factor but around me if you go into a store you wear a mask; except in the gas stations.

So what is it? Bars, churches and Trump rallies? Sounds about right.

[yaesu]

17. She laid that out at the beginning of the show using statistics showing how cases rose in rally

areas compared to surrounding areas, it was very convincing.

[Hugin]

19. Don't forget in-person schools.

A big factor in the current surge. Timed almost to the day school started in many areas.

[LuckyLib]

36. It's also folks (ages 25-44) who have to be out in the world. Working folk

who are driving and delivering, stocking shelves, working behind the counters everywhere. One family member has a need to party, hang out with friends, meet in groups, and it all trickles home.

[BootinUp]

18. the longest Scaramucci ever. nt

[Dem2]

20. It's infuriating

The only possible positive from it is the shock to the people and markets will likely damage his reelection odds. His campaigning/need for praise may end up being his downfall.

[Upthevibe]

22. yaesu....I'm watching it now....

........................... And he's doing the rallies for his own ego (as we all know)! The ONLY ones going to those events are already lunatics who are members of his cult! He's doing it so "his fans" can cheer for him and idolize him - like 1930's and 1940's Germans did during the days of Hitler. It's the most disgusting display of egomania and of fellow citizens being out of their minds that I've ever seen (irl). God help us all......

23. illinois public health official in tears.

26. Trump is the Johnny Appleseed of spreading contagion, she says. Well spotted, Rachel. nt

[triron]

27. I would call him a 'doom merchant'

[yaesu]

29. well played 👍👍👍nt

[IBEWVET]

31. I am not leaving my country. But I am a viet vet and have weapons so if the proud boys or any

of the other fanatics come around they will be in for a surprise, I know how to fight.!!!!

[yaesu]

32. Thank you DU for letting me vent, keep my sanity. nt

[BadgerMom]

33. And the 79 days between election and inauguration will be horrifying.

[yaesu]

34. Yes, this is very true, hang on. nt

[AllaN01Bear]

[seta1950]

38. I can't wait for 11/3/2020

But I’m afraid of what they will do until January the 20th

[orangecrush]

39. STAY MAD AND VOTE!

[yaesu]

40. Sent my ballot in 2 weeks ago, checked to make sure it was received so should be all set. nt

[orangecrush]

42. Thank you very much!

[orangecrush]

43. I meant to ask

As an amateur radio operator,, Yaesu has a certain meaning for me.

Wondering how you picked the handle, if I'm not being too nosey.

[yaesu]

44. Hey, no problem, yes, I've been a ham since 1976 but haven't been active for quite a while

I do still listen on the bands with my Yaesu VR-500 which is the only HF capable radio I have at the moment (have an old Alinco HT also). Was quite active from the 70's through the 90's, started as a novice & just a plain ol General now.
