The American people need to understand...

...that we have put ourselves into a deep, deep hole.

This is a time that Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and all Affiliations understand that we now have to stand together. There is no other choice.

We need everyone to vote against the tyranny and the dictatorship that is on the way. We cannot force people to vote in any way - we can only ask that they look at what is happening?

We need leaders that will seek justice and repair the damage that has already been done. Lies cannot cover up the responsibility.

Vote for the person that is asking for a super majority to fix it. Because that will be necessary. If that person is a Democrat, then that is who we should vote for. The stakes are too high to play partisan politics and to fall prey to the division created by the fascists now on the rise.

Think hard America. The time is now.

But the killing in Mpls. and the shootings in Portland are probably just a start, they want the peopleto riot so they can declare and emergency and postpone the fall elections somehow, that is their only chance to survive and they will become more and more desperate as the year progress, they will do more and more to instigate the riots and as we have seen killing people is not off the table.

and nominate a Malcolm Nance-like candidate for president, not a politician.

Miles Taylor is a Republican who I would vote for for president if he ran as a Democrat.
