very volatile this year. A fat percentage of voters have made up their minds.

That's the good news. The bad news? It can't get any better than this, the trickle of daily bad news for Trump will stop somewhere.

I mean, if he hadn't caused so much damage in these three years, we could all be laughing our asses off.

Sadly, though it is worth a chuckle, cleaning up the mess these traitors have left will be grim work. Even if we sweep the nation and turn it deep blue, it will still take a decade.

The damage Trump and his cult have done to this society and to this system of government and its institutions has been .... I don’t know if I have the words to describe it right now.

Confessore’s comment just summed up so precisely Trump’s level of intelligence vs. how he sees himself, and some days if I can’t laugh...I scream.

because they got sick or died, were turned off by his treatment of the military, or have seen America become less great on his watch. A good many Americans feel they might have been better off 4 years ago than now.

Blaming Dem governors or China or whoever else is less effective considering they knew how bad it was in the beginning and chose to deliberately lie on tape.
