Brian, he gets it. No disrespect intended. He is a fascist and doesn’t care about we the people. He wants his billionaires happy, and is dead and gone.
Dems need leadership who know it’s no longer politics as usual…who are fresh, fierce, ferocious and fearless…who won’t let up on the release of the unredacted TrumpStein Files. Dems need to dictate the narrative…not repugnants.
Because he is stuck being HIM. Can you imagine waking up every morning being … him? Even Melania doesn’t do it anymore. During the Oval Office meeting with my beloved PM Dr. Mark Carney, he actually said something to the effect that he wanted to be a great man like him. Just a momentary lapse but even he could recognize that someone else was a superior being. Handsome, slim, articulate, a brilliant economist, Canadian. So, he actually doesn’t have everything he wants. Even though he is as thick as a brick (hello, Jethro Tull), he knows that he is unpopular and that very few like him so he tries to reinforce his need for self worth by having his cabinet grovel before him during meetings and getting revenge on people who justifiably mock him (see all of the Late Night Show Hosts). 25th amendment folks! 🇨🇦🍁💪🏻🇨🇦🍁💪🏻
I HATE Donald J. Trump! THAT DAMNED ARROGANT, BELLIGERENT, BRAZEN CONTEMPTIBLE, COWARDLY, CORRUPT, CRIMINALLY INSANE, EVIL GREEDY, HATEFUL, HAUGHTY, HEINOUS, ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, IMPERTINENT, INCOHERENT, INCOMPETENT, INEPT, INFANTILE, INHUMANE LAWLESS, LAZY, OBNOXIOUS, PETTY, POMPOUS, POSTURING, SANCTIMONIOUS, SEDITIUOS, SELFISH, SELF-SERVING STUPID TOXIC, USELESS communist, fascist, nazi MAGA republican Barbarian, Thug, Traitor, and Troll Donald J. Trump has NO conscience and NO soul and never has had his entire, miserable useless existence!
So, the main thing here is to protect our right to vote. NO SAVE act...call your Senators and drive that message home. Register to vote, get everyone you know to register, and get to the polls on Nov. 3, or get to a drop box to avoid the post office. Let's put the Dems in control and stop trumps carnage.
You can see now the mistake the Democratic Party made they had not really listened to the people, senators do not have the same income as the average working citizen. Trump won because he promised the people what they wanted to hear but was never going to keep these promises he and his administration are too self centred and only want an authoritarian regime. People still make the mistake of concentrating solely on Trump only. The truth is he is being used by some unscrupulous people in this administration. The Democrats need solidarity within their leadership, they also need strong workable policies which will benefit the people and the country.
Agree but I read that the Dem. leaders are saying that they want to run on just affordability. I hope this is not true because they also need to run on the ginormous amount of his corruption which puts our tax dollars in his hands and the hands of his cronies instead of into programs that help we citizens who pay those taxes. Grrrr
I always regard that as a quote — “we the people” — so I think under these circumstances it’s proper usage. So petty splitting of hairs and semantics aren’t helpful either. We’re not all English teachers.
I was (an English teacher) - and I’m not grading blog texts…. With voice text, I do try to correct “your” and “you’re” appropriately, etc. My sentence breaks are more dashes all over the place. I don’t use capitalization all the time for new sentences. I just try to proofread to the point where someone understands what I’m trying to say and I don’t sound terribly illiterate. I taught senior composition in high school as an early career.
I keep seeing "he doesn't care about WE the prople" or "doesn't help WE the people", and honestly, for anyone who cares about the English language, this is tooth-grindingly painful! Yes, yes, I know the Constitution says "We the people...etc" but that must change to "us" when it becomes the object instead of the subject. " Trump doesn't care about US". Please! If you're willing to sound illiterate, go sit with the oblivious MAGAts.
If you are an English language lover, things like "Your" and "You're" can drive you crazy. There's enough madness in the world at the moment - try to put it aside. You need your energy for the fight. If trump's administration stays in power NO-ONE will learn how to use English properly.
Calm down - one of my degrees was in English. I actually taught high school composition and English Lit. for a while and I was an excellent speller.
I don’t grade blog posts. People are either texting fast or I use a lot of voice text and it’s usually a mess on some words. I do proofread. I don’t catch everything and I’m on so many different blogs. I think with quotation marks around “we the people” when making some point regarding that sentence from the constitution is probably OK. -
Oh -oops- one time in your blog text up there, you spelled the word “people” incorrectly. I’m sorry I couldn’t resist. Take care. Keep the faith.💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🫶🏻
Ok I get what you are saying BUT how could any thinking person interpreted what Trump was saying to mean that he was going to fix “things”. The man is a liar, had a track record of going bankrupt, a felon, a thief, a rapist……..bleach for God’s sake.
They are actually called "low information voters." They're not (necessarily) stupid. They just don't pay attention to political news. The test is they are unable to name which party controls the House and the Senate.
Many low to medium income Americans don’t venture far from their towns/ communities/States. They do not venture far enough to see a different situation other than how they and their neighbours live. Not very broad minded it seems. If it was good enough for my great grandpa, grandpa and dad …. So this could be part of the problem, not getting out and educating themselves. Sad but true
This is true. Many low-to-medium income Americans simply cannot afford to do this given how the hollowing out of the middle class began under Reagan. (We all know where Reagan's billionaire tax savings trickled to, and it wading down.) And the systematic undermining of higher "elite" education by conservatives has added to this. We need workers from all echelons of society, not just universities. But higher education has been under attack for about 40 years is only going to be made worse.
How you describe them (not paying attention) is exactly what makes them stupid. It's the same reason the that many people flunk out of college, and the same reason that they manage to get fired or can't keep a job and then blame it on a democratic president.
I think you're missing the point. These are people who may be quite knowledgeable about many things. They just don't share your (and my) interest in following politics and government. I don't follow professional sports at all, and also didn't watch one second of the Olympics. That doesn't make me stupid. It just isn't important to me. For these people who might vote in a presidential election and otherwise not pay attention, they may be ignorant but they're necessarily stupid.
I respectfully disagree. It's one thing to not be interested in following politics in the manner that you and I obviously do. Not being interested sports is not going to affect your life, until a stadium tax shows up on your property tax bill only to find out after then fact that there was a ballot issue on the funding. Politics affects EVERYONE. "Lalalala... I'll just look over there because, you know, politicking is hard. And where the F did this damn stadium tax come from?! Nobody wanted this!"
These are the same people realizing that the American dream has slipped out of their reach, losing healthcare, paying more on groceries, all because they aren't into politics. Trickle-down economics sounded all fine and good to them until they realized that that didn't like the taste of urine. And, here they are, still drinking it and letting FOX et. al. convince them that it's delicious. Why? Because they avoid politics.
When their church preaches, family & friends believe far right wing politics, hate the non white skinned immigrants, hate citizen POC & they watch only Faux for propaganda "news" that is what people will believe to be the truth unless they actually venture out of the fold, open their eyes & learn differently.
Thing is, the Democrats were promising not to change anything. Trump was promising to blow everything up. Neither of thoze is a very good promise; but, when the current state of things seems terrible enough, you're going to go for any kind of change that seems to be available, even if it's negative change. The 2024 election was not (for most Trump voters, at least) a serious show of belief in Trump's obvious lies; it was the political equivalent of an attempted suicide, and, like most attempted suicides, the point was to get attention on how fucked up things are, not to actually die.
Trump and the Republicans have shown that they're still not paying attention. That means that, if the Democrats can show that they have started paying attention and have ideas for positive change, they have a good chance at getting the votes of all of the people who voted for destruction last time becauze it was the only change available.
We'll see if they're capable of taking advantage of that opportunity.
They lost because they nominated a Black woman as President; not because of change, not because of the price of eggs. The people who decided the election was the voters that stayed home. Don't tell me they let Trump win, after we have finally got rid of him, was because Trump was the change America needed. No, they didn't how bad he would be, even though he said told them.
MAGA white men in particular. They likely wouldn't even vote for any woman for president unless she was as stupid and horrible as Sarah Palin, Kristy Noem, Bondi, Lake, et al. Misogyny and toxic testosterone can be a lethal combination.
Kamela should have won. The Repuglicans cheated. They knew black people vote fy puor democrats so the put all kinds of obstacales to stop black people from voting. Kamela should have folloto couwed trump and taken them to court. She would have won.
More than the Republicans cheating; 80 million registered voters didn't vote. That is more votes than Kamala or Donald got. Then others voted for Jill Stein and RFK. Apathy, stupidity, and racism put Trump, his tech bros and his project 25 white supremacists and Nazis in office. Republicans always cheat; but that is not why she lost. It should not have been that close in the polls leading up to the election. Why was it even close? For gosh sake, the majority of White women voted for this sexual predator.
We all want them all gone. Yesterday. I fear that any recovery will be long and difficult. The death and destruction Trumpenstein/MAGA will leave behind will be an enormous challenge. The optimist in me looks forward to witnessing at least the beginning.
For a fact checker on this batshit crazy “speech” one needn’t look further than their own FYP’s and bank accounts.
Donnie is living la vida loco in confabulation land and all of us are living in reality. Midterms can’t come soon enough.
I saw his polling dropped more points AGAIN after this whiney lying rant fest marketed as the “state of the union.” Tick Tock, the reckoning is coming.
Jail!!! For the entire trump klan n kkkabinet! Kegsbreath blowing up all those boats n murdering so many!!! bondi committing perjury! noem n patel spending money n using we the people’s planes for personal fun!! his entire kkkabinet is like a ship of fools, grifters, incompetent, corrupt cabal!!
I totally agree and have suspected it. I wonder too WHY the Harris/Walz campaign and the DNC did not demand recounts especially in the 7 swing states. The chances of Trump actually “winning fairly” in all 7 states is ZERO and NONE. I suspect Musk’s Doge bros had a hand in tinkering with the tabulators but you will never get any Secretary of State to admit something was amiss. And now Trump is touting the SAVE Act, demanding an end to mail-in ballots, and nationalizing the elections! He’s desperate and knows he’ll end up in prison once he’s out of office.
I don't think he's realized yet that he will NEVER go to jail.
He's still aware of his crimes - and consequently still trying to hide them, or at least stay in power so that he will never go to court.
Thing is, it will take at least a year to get him to court, even if he's impeached, and in a year his brain will have dribbled completely out of his ears. I doubt that even now he gets through a single day without needing some kind of medical intervention - vide the hand bruising.
He's not going to "go" to jail - jail is coming for him - in the form of either dementia or Alzheimer's.
But we still have a lot of work to do. There are so many people that continue to believe the lies that come out of that cretin's mouth and genuinely believe that he is doing a good job. It absolutely boggles my mind.
Independent media are rapidly overtaking traditional and print media, both of which are going to eventually become obsolete. Hmm. I wonder who will be left to show up for the White House press conferences.
DJT has NEVER done a good job on anything but self promotion. He is dumber than a rock. A professor at University of Pennsylvania and Rex Tillerson both thought DJT was a moron. Nothing he has done has disabused me of that notion.
I’m always amazed how so any talking heads can attempt to predict the future by simplistic synthetic analogs. Hasn’t ever occurred to you that like predicting the weather there are too many variables and non-linear events. I believe the probability that the election will be rigged is greater than 50 percentile.
You make many good points, as you always do. But, In all fairness, the system is fucked up and our social order is a dumpster fire. Trump should have NEVER been able to run as a felon, much less for his J6 shit show and documents investigations going on. (But the felony alone should have clinched it.) That is not on the democrats.
Yes, Garland dragged his feet and I hope he knows how he failed us. I also blame Ginsberg. She was good at what she did, until she wasn't. (Just how long did an almost 90 year old woman with pancreatic cancer really think she could hang on?) After McConnell's implosion of rules and norms re: SCOTUS appointments, we were hobbling along like a blind 2-legged mule. (Happily, he appears to be in the throes of physical misery. Frankly, I hope that this monster from my home state lives 20 more years without bowel/bladder control and drooling on himself.)
Biden probably should not have sought a 2nd term. Even though I wildly supported Harris, a woman (black one at that) should not have been on the ticket . ALL THINGS that Trump asserted about the Biden/Harris administration were outright lies - including the economy. So Trump says he's going to fix what wasn't really broken (or was left in dire disrepair from his first reign of terror during Covid). All which of course were lies.
But, I don't recall the democrats saying "everything was fine." Home ownership challenges were addressed. Affordability was addressed. The border was addressed and the bill obliterated to pander to Trump. His agenda checked SO many necessary boxes. And, they told the voters EXACTLY what what was going to happen if Trump won. And then he "won" (I am beginning to question this) and systematically and despotically smashes through everything and here we are. The only true mistake democrats made was trusting the intelligence and integrity of the American voters. Because they made it damn clear that under Trump, we would be barreling into bullseye of a 5-alarm fire in the middle of a drought in 100 degree temperatures.
Hindsight is always 20/20 and we should definitely learn what failed us us. But this ain't all on the democrats. We still have about 20-30% of voters that still support Trump on almost all issues! Roughly, in our disastrous electoral college system, one to three out of ten citizens is a shit ton of voters that can keep us exactly where we are right now if things don't change. I'm not saying that democrat errors should not be redressed. But I am saying that the government has been contorted so badly that I seriously am concerned that at this point, we will never recover our democracy if finger pointing is the only solution.
What I still do not understand is all the felonies etc aside WHY WAS THE 14th Amendment not exercised? Even the Republicans initially said J6 was and insurrection. So why did Congress not vote on J7th the disqualify him from running???
For various reasons, too many voters pay little attention to much outside the immediacies of their own lives. One of the great failings of the American education system is not teaching young students to identify and understand logical fallacies and propaganda. The country and the rest of the world pay the price for this lack of critical thinking.
No discussion of the midterms should go forward without talking about the threats to a free and fair election with Rump and the SAVE act threatening our democracy from the cheater perspective (also like Wile E Coyote).
Someone (who is not GOP, MAGA or Trump) should guard the polling places and prevent the votes from being front-loaded. I nominate each state's National Guard, as invoked by their governors.
Brian, he gets it. No disrespect intended. He is a fascist and doesn’t care about we the people. He wants his billionaires happy, and is dead and gone.
Trump hates us.
Trump only loves 3 things: 1. Attention. 2. Money. 3. Himself.
He also likes underage girls.
well, he definitely doesn't like to be challenged & young girls haven't the life experience yet to counter him
It isn't just young girls, I think all of the women affected are too scared to do anything!
😢😠
Reverse those numbers and you have got it.
you forgot power sans responsibility
You forgot one. 4. Little children
EXACTLY RIGHT!
Dems need leadership who know it’s no longer politics as usual…who are fresh, fierce, ferocious and fearless…who won’t let up on the release of the unredacted TrumpStein Files. Dems need to dictate the narrative…not repugnants.
By all means
I hate trump.
SO DO I!
I wouldn’t give him the power over you to hate him. We only love and hate people who matter to us and he doesn’t matter.
DEFINATELY! Donald J, Trump "Dumpy Trumpy' is A FAILURE AND LOSER!
I don't hate him that takes too much of my energy!
actually, I think he hates the whole world but, for what reason I can not tell why a man with everything he wants is so sour?
Because he is stuck being HIM. Can you imagine waking up every morning being … him? Even Melania doesn’t do it anymore. During the Oval Office meeting with my beloved PM Dr. Mark Carney, he actually said something to the effect that he wanted to be a great man like him. Just a momentary lapse but even he could recognize that someone else was a superior being. Handsome, slim, articulate, a brilliant economist, Canadian. So, he actually doesn’t have everything he wants. Even though he is as thick as a brick (hello, Jethro Tull), he knows that he is unpopular and that very few like him so he tries to reinforce his need for self worth by having his cabinet grovel before him during meetings and getting revenge on people who justifiably mock him (see all of the Late Night Show Hosts). 25th amendment folks! 🇨🇦🍁💪🏻🇨🇦🍁💪🏻
A fellow Tull skull who thinks alike about the current POTUS.
He is sour because he has everything and cannot find anymore. And now entities are starting to bark back like the Supreme Court.
I don’t understand it either, he is full of rage and wants to strike back at anyone who challenges him. When he’s out, to prison he goes.
Donald J. Trump "Dumpy Trumpy" has NO conscience and has NO soul!
You have to have a complete brain to have a conscience.
DEFINATELY!
Absolutely!
I HATE Donald J. Trump! THAT DAMNED ARROGANT, BELLIGERENT, BRAZEN CONTEMPTIBLE, COWARDLY, CORRUPT, CRIMINALLY INSANE, EVIL GREEDY, HATEFUL, HAUGHTY, HEINOUS, ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, IMPERTINENT, INCOHERENT, INCOMPETENT, INEPT, INFANTILE, INHUMANE LAWLESS, LAZY, OBNOXIOUS, PETTY, POMPOUS, POSTURING, SANCTIMONIOUS, SEDITIUOS, SELFISH, SELF-SERVING STUPID TOXIC, USELESS communist, fascist, nazi MAGA republican Barbarian, Thug, Traitor, and Troll Donald J. Trump has NO conscience and NO soul and never has had his entire, miserable useless existence!
Murderer
Trump doesn't really think about others at all.
I ABOMINATE, DESPISE, HATE AND LOATHE Donald J. Trump "Dumpy Trumpy"!
I HATE Donald J. Trump!
I have lots of disrespect for the malignant narcissist facist.
So, the main thing here is to protect our right to vote. NO SAVE act...call your Senators and drive that message home.

PLEASE 🙏 LET THIS BE HIS UNDOING! 🤣
I’ll be voting not just on ‘the economy’, but on the racism, the sexism, the terrorism, and the palpable evil of the Epstein/Trump Regime.
Agree but I read that the Dem. leaders are saying that they want to run on just affordability. I hope this is not true because they also need to run on the ginormous amount of his corruption which puts our tax dollars in his hands and the hands of his cronies instead of into programs that help we citizens who pay those taxes.

I get it, but why pick at grammar? We’re on the same side. Let’s just focus on encouraging others to take back congress and hopefully the senate.
What they said^

Well, you sound nice. It must be difficult to be so perfect. Take a chill pill, Jude.
no, just honest, realistic, self aware, I think it makes a nice change
Ok I get what you are saying BUT how could any thinking person interpreted what Trump was saying to mean that he was going to fix “things”. The man is a liar, had a track record of going bankrupt, a felon, a thief, a rapist……..bleach for God’s sake.
The ones who voted for him are not "thinking persons"?

I have never watched a football match, basketball game or baseball in my life. It hasn't affected me at all.
However - I DO vote whenever I can - because who's in power affects me greatly.
I have NO say in who wins a football match - I DO have some influence on who decides how my life is run - and my taxes spent.
I agree. I do the same. But not everyone feels the same way. And they do have the vote and we do have to appeal to them.
I respectfully disagree. It's one thing to not be interested in following politics in the manner that you and I obviously do. Not being interested sports is not going to affect your life, until a stadium tax shows up on your property tax bill only to find out after then fact that there was a ballot issue on the funding.

You’re stupid if you don’t pay attention.
That attitude should certainly win their votes.
tRump said he loves stupid people. No wonder. 8D

As long as musk keeps his fricking money n programming dickwads out of it!
Twelve badgers….What a valiant attempt on your part. Attempted suicide indeed. They succeeded. And here we are. Maybe stupid is paying attention now……
I really want him and crew gone as soon as possible so the nation can recover. I would suggest an mass firing of some kind or other.
We all want them all gone. Yesterday. I fear that any recovery will be long and difficult. The death and destruction Trumpenstein/MAGA will leave behind will be an enormous challenge. The optimist in me looks forward to witnessing at least the beginning.
Mass firing, I wish! My guns loaded and ready but it's illegal and I don't want to be sharing hell with them!
For a fact checker on this batshit crazy “speech” one needn’t look further than their own FYP’s and bank accounts.
Donnie is living la vida loco in confabulation land and all of us are living in reality. Midterms can’t come soon enough.
I saw his polling dropped more points AGAIN after this whiney lying rant fest marketed as the “state of the union.” Tick Tock, the reckoning is coming.
I saw 26% approval rating yesterday. It should be zero after that excuse of a sotu.
I want so badly to believe that
He and his God forsaken cronies all need to be brought down!!!
Jail!!! For the entire trump klan n kkkabinet! Kegsbreath blowing up all those boats n murdering so many!!! bondi committing perjury! noem n patel spending money n using we the people’s planes for personal fun!! his entire kkkabinet is like a ship of fools, grifters, incompetent, corrupt cabal!!
He didn’t win. 2024 was manipulated and no one bothered to even request recounts in swing districts and ones w statistically impossible results.
I totally agree and have suspected it. I wonder too WHY the Harris/Walz campaign and the DNC did not demand recounts especially in the 7 swing states. The chances of Trump actually “winning fairly” in all 7 states is ZERO and NONE.

But we still have a lot of work to do. There are so many people that continue to believe the lies that come out of that cretin's mouth and genuinely believe that he is doing a good job. It absolutely boggles my mind.
And the established media refuse to challenge him.
Independent media are rapidly overtaking traditional and print media, both of which are going to eventually become obsolete. Hmm. I wonder who will be left to show up for the White House press conferences.
DJT has NEVER done a good job on anything but self promotion. He is dumber than a rock. A professor at University of Pennsylvania and Rex Tillerson both thought DJT was a moron. Nothing he has done has disabused me of that notion.
I suspect there will always be a percentage of Americans who remain brain dead. The reasons are too many to enumerate here.

I wonder if those people grocery shop or fill their cars with gas, living expenses’. WTH!
True, but that number is shrinking. His approval rating is now in the 30s.
I wonder what the breaking point is. Below 30%?
Thanks BTC, your videos are eye opening.
Thanks Brian.
Cannot wait until the day he is no longer president.

I’m always amazed how so any talking heads can attempt to predict the future by simplistic synthetic analogs. Hasn’t ever occurred to you that like predicting the weather there are too many variables and non-linear events. I believe the probability that the election will be rigged is greater than 50 percentile.
that assumes the mid-terms go ahead, I'll believe it when the votes have been counted & results declared
You make many good points, as you always do. But, In all fairness, the system is fucked up and our social order is a dumpster fire. Trump should have NEVER been able to run as a felon, much less for his J6 shit show and documents investigations going on. (But the felony alone should have clinched it.) That is not on the democrats.
Yes, Garland dragged his feet and I hope he knows how he failed us. I also blame Ginsberg. She was good at what she did, until she wasn't. (Just how long did an almost 90 year old woman with pancreatic cancer really think she could hang on?) After McConnell's implosion of rules and norms re: SCOTUS appointments, we were hobbling along like a blind 2-legged mule. (Happily, he appears to be in the throes of physical misery. Frankly, I hope that this monster from my home state lives 20 more years without bowel/bladder control and drooling on himself.)
Biden probably should not have sought a 2nd term. Even though I wildly supported Harris, a woman (black one at that) should not have been on the ticket . ALL THINGS that Trump asserted about the Biden/Harris administration were outright lies - including the economy. So Trump says he's going to fix what wasn't really broken (or was left in dire disrepair from his first reign of terror during Covid). All which of course were lies.
But, I don't recall the democrats saying "everything was fine." Home ownership challenges were addressed. Affordability was addressed. The border was addressed and the bill obliterated to pander to Trump. His agenda checked SO many necessary boxes. And, they told the voters EXACTLY what what was going to happen if Trump won. And then he "won" (I am beginning to question this) and systematically and despotically smashes through everything and here we are. The only true mistake democrats made was trusting the intelligence and integrity of the American voters. Because they made it damn clear that under Trump, we would be barreling into bullseye of a 5-alarm fire in the middle of a drought in 100 degree temperatures.
Hindsight is always 20/20 and we should definitely learn what failed us us. But this ain't all on the democrats. We still have about 20-30% of voters that still support Trump on almost all issues! Roughly, in our disastrous electoral college system, one to three out of ten citizens is a shit ton of voters that can keep us exactly where we are right now if things don't change. I'm not saying that democrat errors should not be redressed. But I am saying that the government has been contorted so badly that I seriously am concerned that at this point, we will never recover our democracy if finger pointing is the only solution.
This is one of the best posts I've ever read on any political forum. Thank you Louise Niemer for your insights and clarity.
What I still do not understand is all the felonies etc aside WHY WAS THE 14th Amendment not exercised? Even the Republicans initially said J6 was and insurrection. So why did Congress not vote on J7th the disqualify him from running???
For various reasons, too many voters pay little attention to much outside the immediacies of their own lives. One of the great failings of the American education system is not teaching young students to identify and understand logical fallacies and propaganda. The country and the rest of the world pay the price for this lack of critical thinking.
Best post SOTU story: last night, opposite the speech, Turner Classic Movies was playing "Gaslight."
No discussion of the midterms should go forward without talking about the threats to a free and fair election with Rump and the SAVE act threatening our democracy from the cheater perspective (also like Wile E Coyote).
Someone (who is not GOP, MAGA or Trump) should guard the polling places and prevent the votes from being front-loaded. I nominate each state's National Guard, as invoked by their governors.
I love our vote by mail! I’ve been an election observer. It is so damn safe. The cameras are everywhere! No picking your nose or bum! Live streaming!
