Trump will lose Michigan, Pennsylvania, possibly Wisconsin and Florida is in play, the only way he wins will be by cheating again

Should Trump lose by a narrow margin, he will refuse to accept the results. If he loses in a landslide, he will go ballistic. Either way, he will allege, with no proof at all, that there was massive election fraud, just as he did last time. His hand-picked investigative committee found no irregularities at all and were ordered to not submit a report that would contradict Trump.

Turns out he can pucker up, like nobody's business.  Yesterday was a disgrace, even by his flunky standards....

Pence and the evangelical leaders are living proof that, even as self-identified followers of the way of the Christ, they are willing to sacrifice their professed beliefs in exchange for power over others. Not hard at all for people like Bill Maher and Ricky Gervais to mock them. Faith is supposed to be a source of comfort and guidance in our dealings with our fellow man, no matter who they are. It is not supposed to be used as an excuse to control others or excuse one's actions that do harm. God will get you for that.

Yes he probably will.  Not much he can do about it unless congress goes even more towards the GOP and they're willing to rip up the constitution.  Makes it even more important for the Senate to turn to the Dems.  The visual of Trump being dragged out of the White House in cuffs sounds great though.  Just wait til he grudgingly accepts the results but refuses to go to the Inauguration or cooperate with transitions.

Among the bailout entities, the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, which has come under fire after reports that major businesses such as the Los Angeles Lakers, a basketball franchise worth an estimated $4.4 billion, secured a $4.6 million federally backed loan.

When the government doles out tax dollars to needy individuals, that is socialism. When the money is doled out to corporations, that is acceptable. The bigger the trough, the bigger the pigs.

I’m looking equally forward to having Prince Jared and Princess Ivanka thrown out of the castle and into the moat. Is that bad of me?

Which is why he may very well win. Stacking the courts with conservative judges who have voted against mail-in and absentee voting, a Senate that will comply with his every whim, and ignoring any checks and balances as imposed by Congressional oversight and enforced by Inspectors General whom he will fire if they conflict with his view of absolute power - he has gamed the system to his advantage so far, no reason to think he won’t openly cheat to win, and the Dems refuse to play as dirty as him thinking that virtue will win out.

If one went back in time.......Pence would of been a perfect fit for a lackey.... to Louis XIV

Because like Trump, Louis took his position as king very seriously.       He saw that what was good for him was good for France.

Audrey Whitlock, a main organizer of Raleigh, NC’s rally to open the lockdown has tested positive for the Coronavirus. She maintains she is now in the clear after 2 weeks of quarantine and will attend the rally held yesterday, April 28th. 
She says she has “constitutional rights”.
Does not her actions ‘constitute’ wilful misbehaviour and endangering others?
I hope they arrested her constitutional a&&

Trump nuts screaming about their rights is pretty rich.  Were Hitler's supporters as stupid when he was grabbing power?

"... the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians—"should I be my brother's keeper?"

Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.

Then we started talking, until our voices were again silenced in public. Can we say, we aren't guilty/responsible?

The persecution of the Jews, the way we treated the occupied countries, or the things in Greece, in Poland, in Czechoslovakia or in Holland, that were written in the newspapers. … I believe, we Confessing-Church-Christians have every reason to say: mea culpa, mea culpa! We can talk ourselves out of it with the excuse that it would have cost me my head if I had spoken out.

We preferred to keep silent. We are certainly not without guilt/fault, and I ask myself again and again, what would have happened, if in the year 1933 or 1934—there must have been a possibility—14,000 Protestant pastors and all Protestant communities in Germany had defended the truth until their deaths? If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30–40,000 million [sic] people, because that is what it is costing us now."

Trump says he might use pandemic relief funding to extort so-called sanctuary cities

He better be careful because he's giving the Dems some talking points this close to the election.  Biden can make it simple.  Are you better off with Trump's vision of America or ours?
