Just setting up the lawyers and his Supreme Court.

As I no longer am a public servant of the people of the Walton and SoWal communities, I feel very free to say the following: Yes. But, what I find nearly as painful as being force fed a new SCOTUS Justice while any of my American sisters and brothers are voting, literally at this moment, for the functional leadership of our country, is being repeatedly told by Republican (no such thing anymore*) friends, acquaintances and strangers that "It's a free society. It's my body so it's my choice whether or not wear a mask."

The first 11 words of the former sentence represent the stance already decided by SCOTUS in Roe v Wade. Whether ACB helps overturn this established law or succeeds in severely limiting women's accessibility, we all lose a measure of freedom. As a member of your so-called blew krew (though admittedly no longer a Walton resident), I will think of you each and every time one of your rights are stripped (thanks to AOC and CT, neither of whom IMHO should be in their positions), inevitabilities now, regardless of who wins the bid for the presidency). May God protect all of us from those who wish to pass personal judgement and deprive us of our free will and our rights to meet and be judged by our Maker based on how we, each and every individual, applies that very same free will.

Indeed, at one time I could actually consider voting Republican depending on who was running. Not in this environment though, no way.

I am a registered republican who is ashamed and disgusted of the republican party. I hope that I live to see the day when our democracy punishes the republican party for the way they have abused their power. Whatever little money I have to put toward firing ALL of them I will do so. I really really do not believe in voting down party lines but the republicans have crossed the line and now I believe I have no choice but to vote all Democrats from now till the end of my life. If a 3rd party of moderate political ideology emerges I would probably go to that party but until that happens it is all democrats from now on.

Okay that said I hold out hope that ACB is going to recuse herself on some of the major cases coming before her like Affordable Health Care, Women's Rights, electoral issues and anything to do with Donald J. Trump if this election proves without a doubt that we the people fired Donald J. Trump. If she doesn't and democrats take the senate then there will be hell to pay for this abuse of power by the republican party. The balance of power is hopefully about to change. My message to republicans is that you just bought a ticket for a luxurious ride on the Titanic...

McConnell adjourned the senate until November 9 with no relief bill for Americans struggling due to Donny’s Disease.

trumpanzees will believe anything.

This should tickle your racist loving heart.
Once E. Jean Carroll gets her court ordered trump DNA sample he will be a convicted rapist and will no longer be allowed to vote in Florida.

The destruction of the Republican party will likely hurt all Americans down the line. A single party dominating will eventually jump the tracks. A free press and an opposition party may keep us on track but too much has always happened behind closed doors in American politics.

The republican party is no longer. It was destroyed by McConnell and Trump. The lines that define a democracy were crossed and that hurts all of us. The old republican party is now the party of wealth and fear. I would not blame the democrats for jumping the tracks IF they take the executive branch and control the legislative branch however I will always hope that moderate and progressive politics can co-exist. If we the people demand to be represented instead of disrespected there will be no behind closed doors politics. A free press is possible and necessary but please go find one that is free of agenda. I don't think it will happen in my life time but a 3rd political party that stays free of extreme ideology otherwise known as keeping and open mind and centers itself on the middle class will emerge eventually. Until then and for now Biden/Harris will serve that function for ALL Americans.

I think the Lincoln Project will serve as an effective watchdog on both sides of the aisle.

There will be a big push to resurrect the GOP. I doubt it will ever be back to what is was until maybe a new generation comes along to oppose the dems. If it is to be purged of the fringe radicals like proud boys, qanon, christian zaelots, etc they still have to deal with a lot of spineless incumbents.
The dems will have to spend a lot of time and energy battling the lunatic fringe. I wouldn't be surprised to see law enforcement be increased on all fronts. Especially if there is violence.

IDK whether the Republican Party is at its end, but if it is damaged to the point that it may not be a dominate party then I think the opportunity opens for a viable Independent 3rd Party. Probably more Moderate.

Donny’s Disease.

Very fitting, very contagious (pun intended). Add 'Deadly' to the middle of this and you have perfect alliteration (grammatically fun); however, it's also devastatingly sad there are so many dead and so many suffering with it (not speaking entirely of Covid). OH!? Should I add that fourth "D" - Donny's Devastatingly Deadly Disease?

From Jennifer Rubin.

"If polling is accurate and former vice president Joe Biden wins handily next week, we can look forward to some very big changes: competent Cabinet officials, coherent policy initiatives, respect for the Constitution, a foreign policy that favors democracies rather than brutal dictatorships and depoliticization of the Justice Department, to name just a few.

But apart from concrete policy, we can also look forward to a host of things that we once took for granted:

White House news releases without typos, weird punctuation and other glaring errors.

Official documents that read like official documents in tone and that come out by email or hard copy, as opposed to tweets.

The absence of childish name-calling, insults, racist remarks, gaffes characterized as “jokes” and singling out of individual companies simply because they failed to boost the president’s ego.

A White House press shop that earns the presumption of trustworthiness until proven otherwise and — at worst — relies on “I don’t know” or vague evasion rather than outright lies.

News conferences in which the president does not personally insult members of the media, exclude them for writing things he does not like or dub them “the enemy of the people.”

Presidential interviews with respected news figures, not sycophantic media personalities.

A normal presidential schedule in which hours of TV time are not built in.

No more Stalinesque Cabinet meetings in which officials try to top one another in fawning over the president.

A president who communicates directly with the leaders of the House and Senate.

An administration that knows climate change is real and that more intense forest fires don’t result merely from insufficient sweeping of the forest floor.

An engaged first lady who takes up important public causes with tangible results.

An administration without relatives working in the White House.

A president who does not make money from funneling attention and revenue to his holdings.

No judicial nominee who is rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association.

An administration in which “Infrastructure Week” is about infrastructure.

A president who can comfort the nation in times of tragedy
.
A president who does not use the military as props.

Our Democracy in Peril: A series on the damage Trump has caused — and the danger he would pose in a second term

A president who has some basic grasp of American history, including racial injustice.

A president whose advisers are not overwhelmingly White men.

No presidential awards for political hacks, contributors and toxic media figures.

A president who never utters the phrases “red state” or “blue city.”

A White House counsel’s office that at least tries to get it right by providing advice in accord with the Constitution and statutes and polices unethical conduct.

An administration that favors easy access to voting.

Policy pronouncements issued only after consideration by relevant experts and departments.

A president who does not celebrate police brutality or excuse war crimes.

A president who does not embarrass us on the world stage.

A president who knows that there are no NATO “dues” and consumers pay for tariffs.

A president who understands the benefits of forward deployments and alliances.

A president who does not encourage Chinese detention camps or defend the human rights record of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un."

That would be a good development .

They are a group of incredibly smart and aggressive political information specialists. They are on a special mission right now and they have an exceptionally vulnerable target. It will be interesting to see how they spend their energy in the years to come. They seem to have a good moral compass.

I'm sure that if Biden is elected, they won't go easy on him. I see them as being moderate Republicans who have enough sense to realize that this is an emergency and it's time for some triage. Once that's taken care of, I'm sure there will be differences of opinion with White House policy.

I sort of see them as guns for hire, but now they can be choosey about who to work for... unless........they decided to be the core of a whole new party.....It would be a lot better for everybody to grasp the fact that taxes have to be increased, or we will not be able to sustain this illusion much longer.

We will know soon. Next week maybe.

On November 4 the amount of longstanding never Trumpers will double.

I am both excited and anxious for next week. 2020 is not over and Halloween trickery is on the horizon. Is the election going to be a trick...or treat?

Pretty sure Drumpf will continue his MO of turning everything he touches to sht. He's taken a big ole dump on america and the election will be his parting dump. Expect weeks if not months of smelly sht all over the election, the courts, and us. I hope I eat my words but I think all I'll be eating is orange tinted sht.

The biggest issue that any real conservative should have a problem with is the mounting deficit.

The biggest issue that any real conservative should have a problem with is the mounting deficit.

Trump has successfully shifted conservative hot topics (issues) away from the deficit and corporate welfare and toward fears of social change and freedoms to be privileged and greedy and uncaring about inequality. The Trump supporters I know are as solid in support of him as ever. Their talking points are "we have gotten away from God, Country and Politician Representation". They believe that God sent Donald Trump to us to correct these "deficits". They seem to hate Pelosi and blame her and the other "democrat" politicians for almost everything. Trump could have probably successfully talked them in to blaming the virus on Pelosi and the democrats had he thought about it. These Trump supporters that I know are good people even though I know that seems hard to imagine. We humans are a fearful species is all I can figure out and fear works in politics.

Bob1 is probably right in that the election will not change the minds of Trump supportes about anything and their fears will grow and who knows after that. It would be a miracle if Biden can bring these people back to reality. What has helped stoke their fears are the destructive protesting, tearing down historical monuments (which I get), talk of defunding the police, social acceptance of the LGBTQ community in marriage (in other words the destruction of the family), taking prayer out of the schools, socialization of education and healthcare and any government mandate of almost anything. I am not able to reach them anymore but I keep trying. They seem to be refusing to accept social change. It is frustrating because Trump has solidified them and gave them hope that things will get back to the good old days of God, Country and Politicians who pray for God and Country. They have been mislead by a false prophet but they would follow him to hell and back. The Republican party is now centered around this group of religious zealots. I really don't know if anyone can bring them back to the real world. If the election is a landslide victory for Biden and if he is successful in calming their fears then maybe just maybe they will come around. Unfortunately it all depends on how close the election is and if Trump will transfer power with civility. What are the odds?

If you have not voted yet please go vote now. Vote with your conscience! Vote with your common sense! But please be fearless when you vote!
