They'll have to deal with that every day the rest of their lives , and will realize what a huge mistake they made, and be reminded often. History will not be kind to them all involved with trump.

What are the chances of that?

The last one was just a practice run, the Forces of Evil have all their little ducks lined up for the next one to make the results both pre-determined and NOT the will of the people.

How is the 'making sure the next election isn't fiddled with by outside Evil' going, by the way?
Strangely quiet on that front . . .

Need I say it? PAPER BALLOTS! Double counted, then counted again, results delivered by human hands, counted again, hell - I'd rather wait a couple of days for accurate results rather than pushing buttons on an electronic device where no matter who you vote for, the screen flashes 'Trump wins! Thank you for your vote!'

I wish they'd use some of your Pics of the Moment for actual print ads. Succinct, to the point, powerful. I find Democrats either go too abstruse, or they get stuck over analyzing one position and never get the whole message down.

For example, instead of saying:

"Trump solicited help from Russia in 2016, and help from Ukraine in 2019, to benefit himself politically"

say this:

"TRUMP COLLUDED WITH TWO FOREIGN NATIONS TO ATTACK AMERICA."

Honestly.

I don't use Facebook, but his POTM pieces should be used to counter the Putin troll army that Zuckerberg is welcoming with open arms.

Shove it in their face because they own it!

Removal won't be achievable, but at least the Republicans were forced to display their overt, shameless, corruption to the world, and now we need to ensure that they'll never be able to make that go away.

There are no moderate Republicans. They are all collaborators and confederates.

The 53 Senators are inextricably and wholly-owned part of Trump's cover-up of his corruption and treason. We see it.
53 Traitors. We see it.

and so guilty, they are all in the loop. Sickening. They are selling out the US.

And they do not care about the American people or the country.

hiding in their crowd, not wanting to be out of step in fear of becoming the focus of criticism and hate from their fellows or McTurtle.

They are throwing away all that is meant to be important in their jobs, while drawing their pay, just to hide in their own little world where nothing seems to matter. Just to stay in power.

A famous person (me) once said: 'Power not used out of fear is sad, power abused needs to be dealt with with maximum prejudice.'

Lemmings! Where is the cliff?

The rest of the world is watching, and going . . . .WTF?

It only makes me wonder how much putin bribed them with to protect his puppet, and to help them get e-elected with his or other hackers. This is what a compromised illegitimate president and GOP Congress looks like.
