A word of advice to the "Proud Boys": if, as has been suggested, you intend to launch

a "second civil war" WHEN Trump loses the election, it might be a good idea to use a permanent marker to write your full name, Social Security #, home address and next of kin's name with contact info somewhere on your body.

Just a thought----

Trump supporters, you fall into one of two categories: racist idiots or billionaires.

Check your bank account to see which you are in.

What does it say about any judge that they would accept a nomination from Donald Trump

to replace an icon like RBG before she is even buried and less than six weeks before the presidential election?

What person with an ounce of decency does not understand that THIS nomination by THIS person to replace THIS Justice at THIS time will forever taint any judge who accepts it?

Ms. Barrett, thy name is Mudd.

Dear Mr. Pence: This will not be a snarky attack screed, as justified as such a letter might be.

No, I will be impeccably civil and assure you that I wii not only eschew profanity, I will do my very best to avoid even "coarse" language. With that assurance given, please read the following carefully. Let it soak in. Believe it.

Currently, there is speculation that Donald Trump, after he loses the November election, may plan to resign, making you the 46th POTUS. But, the speculation also predicts that you, as the new POTUS, may then PARDON Trump, legally absolving the man for his despicable and traitorous crimes. This next part is REALLY important.

Do you know what a "pariah" is? If not, you can look it up, but suffice it to say that NO ONE wants to have any association with a pariah. IF you pardon Trump, you will quickly learn what it means to be a pariah because you will have made yourself one.

You will not simply have committed political suicide; you will have committed social suicide. People will not only shun you, they will warn others of your presence and remind them of your fawning sycophancy, your mendacity and your holier-than-thou hypocrisy. Personally, in the unlikely event that we meet in the future, I will strive to ONLY glare at you and resist the temptation to spit on you.

"Pariah"---look it up before you do something I guarantee you will regret for the rest of your years.

I am sure that few remember, but over the past year or so, I have more than once suggested that we

endeavor to "annul" or otherwise invalidate all of Trump's judicial appointments. My argument in support of this was simply that Trump (God, I hope he reads this!) is an illegitimate POTUS and cannot, therefore make valid nominations to the federal judiciary. Each time I posted this, I was more or less pooh-poohed because no such annulment power was mentioned in the Constitution, there was no statute granting this authority and, my favorite, "this has never been done before!"

I assume those who thought me unrealistically naive still feel that way.

Now, however, speaker Pelosi has begun to "question the validity" of Trump's judicial appointments. If the appointments are, as I believe and Nancy suspects, invalid, SOMETHING must be done.

It does not matter whether we say the appointments are annulled, nullified, invalidated or set aside. What matters is that we not acquiesce in the corruption and perversion of our judiciary, one of the three co-equal branches of our nation's government.

I read something earlier to the effect that Speaker Pelosi is beginning to "question the vallidity"

of Trump's "judicial appointments". Does anyone know what this is about and what she actually said?

Imagine the shape our country would be in now if we had not had our "Blue Wave" in 2018.

Now, imagine how different things would be if we had also won the Senate.

Indeed, "elections have consequences" and "every vote is important".

Vote. Vote. Vote.

Those who voted for Trump because he was "so rich he could not be bought" just found

out he is so indebted he CAN be threatened and has "FOR SALE" tattooed on his cottage cheesy ass.
