Things are going to get very very serious.

Trump genuinely seems to be trying to get the Republican base to attempt to wreck the democratic vote.

There is a world of difference between a system which is robust against isolated and societally disapproved attempts at manipulation and one where one side actively encourages its supporters to undermine the election.

Just incredible.  The man is a danger to democracy and seems to want it to be undermined.  And his base is so red meat they'll lap it up and blame the Democrats even as they are encouraged to commit voter fraud ... "well Pelosi said postal voting wouldn't be fraudulent ... and look at me, I can prove her wrong." Stupidity for the win.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is dead.

This brings an interesting situation up. Who will replace her, and more importantly when?

March 2016 SCJ Antonin Scalia died, Obama proposed Merrick Garland, the republicans led by Moscow Mitch fought hard screaming 'It's too close to the election' and got their way. Precedent set you might think, but no, Mitch is there again, closer to an election this time 'We will press on with a new Trump appointment'. Pretty outrageous really.

Mitch McConnell is a disgrace of a man.

The right doesn't have to play morally fair because their followers don't give a shit about being morally fair. It's a good advantage if you can get it.

Unfortunately I'm fairly sure we're going to see a second Trump term.

Not giving a shit about being morally fair is not exclusive to the Right though, wouldn't you agree? What's morally right about rioting, looting, violent assaults murder and mayhem perpetrated by antifa/BLM 'protestors' for instance?

I should've clarified, I mean they don't give a shit about their elected officials being morally fair. The left is held to the standards it tries to meet. As is the right. But the right doesn't really try to meet any standards.

Tax bombshell reveals Trump's image is a sham

Quote

A stunning New York Times exposé of the President's tax returns Sunday revealed a pitifully inept businessman and a serial tax avoider crushed by massive debts that could expose him to conflicts of interest given his position as President and power to help undisclosed lenders.

Who's been a naughty old man?
