When to expect the repugs to do their October Surprise?

[brettdale]

They will of course have something planned.

It will fall flat and wont work, but when in October do they normally pull their
October Surprise.

A week before the election?

Two weeks?

1. I think Durham was 'planned,'

but seems to have fizzled.

2. Thanks to all this early voting they might have missed the window

But they’re sneaky buggers. After or during amy Covid Barrett to distract us?

3. Introduction First Post: Biden 2020

Two Weeks ,

Good afternoon DU,


First time here , my name is Lounah , I choose Alice Garoute as a username because she's our Susan B Anthony , a Haitian Suffragist , and advocate for women's right .

I have been browsing since 2003 , I laughed , cried with you , but was affraid to post anything , because I was not a US citizen yet . Im Afro Carribean from Haiti and waited patiently 30 years to become a US Citizen, this year on September 14th , same week The Notorious RGB passed . I register the same day , and my first vote will be against Orange Cheeto (I never say his name ) . I came in this country as an undocumented teenager , I know more about the US then Haiti , you can imagine all the sleepless nights thinking you might be deported , had to keep my me too story to myself , but you keep pushing and stay out of trouble .

I live in Central Florida and have been married for 17years , with two kids and a husky . My Daughter just started college , my Son a middle schooler and my precious Shadow . I worked in the medical field and yes Covid19 is not a hoax . For years I have helped my community register to vote , make sure they get to the polls for Presidential , Congress , Governor and Local Election (For God Sake Democrats, Vote in Congressional Election too = we get to pick Justices ) , this year my daughter just turn 18 , so we get to accompany my husband and vote too .

Im scare of what might happened if we don't vote early , and it's a close election . I do believe the US Constitution will stands
no matter what Orange Cheeto wanna be Dictator and his enablers think ...they expect a bloodbath , so let's vote in mass.

9. Yep, we got a work wipe them out! Thanks for your story, welcome, and keep the faith.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Welcome to the surface.

[Progressive Jones]

17. Welcome, Alice !!! nt

[sdfernando]

21. Welcome Lounah

I am so happy you are here in the U.S....and that you will cast your 1st ballot in Florida for Biden. We need people such as you in our country.

[dubyadiprecession]

4. Too many minds are made up, for anymore of their shenanigans!

Their fate awaits them.

[catbyte]

5. I'm thinking the Durham Report was supposed to be it. Who knows what they're cooking up

to replace it. Spoiler: I don't think it'll work. Most folks I've talked to plan to vote for Joe Biden even if pictures surface of him french kissing Xi Jinping or Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

[Karadeniz]

6. I don't know... Didn't Barr tell Trump the Dunham report wouldn't be ready before the election? Of

Course, Pompeo is stepping up to the plate, having found Hillary's e-mails after four years. But what do I know? I'm so out of it, I didn't even realize Hillary was still a viable opponent.

[brush]

7. I think they were counting on the Durham investigation...

but Barr himself has signaled it won't be finished before the election—meaning there's no there there—so now they've resorted to one of their greated hits, Hillary's emails. Pompeo is allegedly gathering the "disappeared" emails for release.

They'll come up with other ineffective trash but there's not going to be any Wikileaks release of Comey letter. They've got nothing.

I think the Dems and the NYT aren't finished with trump yet.

[StClone]

8. They still have the War President Thing

Sanctions are killing innocent people in Iran who were formerly pro-American and now are being denied, medicine, food, supplies. No matter what Iran leaders do to appease Trump he will keep squeezing them. Venezuela, N. Korea and Syria may all now be bullied to provoke some confrontation so to produce a WAR PRESIDENT. This could get ugly as this cornered Trump rat lashes out. If you heard his rant on arresting Obama, Hillary and even Biden you can sense Trump's franticness.

10. This administration? Nov. 11th.

[Politicalgolfer]

11. Covid blew their wad...

Ain't nuttin gonna beat that?....priceless...😊

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. I don't

[The Genealogist]

14. Who knows? They seem desperate in stirring up shit about "TEH EMAILZZZ!11!!!"

I guess if that doesn't work, maybe they can dig up memos from Mike Dukakis or Walter Mondale. Nothing else they've tried has worked.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. All they have left is the fake vaccine announcement, all others have flopped. Nt

[Dave in VA]

16. Maybe they have found

a photo of Michael Dukakis riding in a tank wearing a helmet? Or Monica's blue dress? Maybe an interview with Billy Carter?

Or they finally found Waldo?

All joking aside, they are desperate and backed into the proverbial corner. I believe that the Biden/Harris campaign are prepared for almost anything and the rapid response team will respond accordingly.

[KentuckyWoman]

18. They already are... throwing anything and everything to see what sticks.

They have nothing. They have nothing to stand for, and nothing real to stand against. Seriously, it's down to sending Eric out to pander to evangelicals. Saying it's pathetic is giving them too much credit.

[FloridaBlues]

19. Emails coming !

[brooklynite]

20. If you know they have something planned, why ask us?

Personally, I'm seeing no surprised, organized or not.
