Well, the writing's on the wall. The GOP, by riding Trump's coattails to his eventual fall and incarceration, see themselves as waiting for the exact right moment to jump.
Like Bugs Bunny jumping out of the falling plane at the last minute, they think that they'll survive.
lmao
If you haven't already, with this, you've totally jumped the shark.
Whatever you've been reading or watching, you need to turn it off now. Your head is sure to explode on election day.

Just reading through a WSJ piece on Biden/Trump tax plans. What Biden proposes is in-sync with many ideas I have advocated: A slight increase in corp taxes Taking away the tax cap Raising cap gain rates on high income earners, and increasing death taxes.
Here's a summary:
Biden's proposals include a top individual tax rate of 39.6%, up from 37%. He would also expand the 12.4% Social Security payroll tax. Currently, wages above $137,700 are exempt; Mr. Biden would keep that cap but then start the tax again at wages above $400,000. He would also repeal a 20% deduction for income from pass-through businesses as it applies to high-income households and impose new limits on itemized deductions.
At the same time, Mr. Biden has tax cuts, too. He would repeal the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax deduction, a change from 2017 that raised taxes on high-income households, particularly in states such as New York, New Jersey and California. And he would offer targeted tax credits for middle-income households, including proposals aimed at boosting retirement savings, child care and first-time home purchases.
The top capital-gains rate would nearly double under Mr. Biden, to 39.6%. That rate would apply only to households with income exceeding $1 million, which account for the bulk of capital-gains income.
Mr. Biden would also make an important structural change. Currently, when people die with unrealized capital gains, their heirs pay income taxes only on gains in value after the original ownerâs death and only when they sell. Under Mr. Bidenâs proposal, those unrealized gains would be taxed as capital gains at death. That would raise money and discourage people from holding on to assets for tax reasons.
JustineFromWyoming staged a last-minute write-in campaign when the challenger to the incumbent had to drop out. The incumbent started out as garden-variety GOP farmer, but really really likes the fluffing the lobbyists give him so he's turned into "the most conservative member of the Wyoming legislature," according to an out of state band of dark money robber barons. The thing started as a protest but friends and strangers started pulling up to the house and dropping off checks or cash, then the Wyoming Education Assn endorsed her and came up with some "emergency funds" to help get her name out. There just wasn't enough time. Yard signs came a week ago, printed materials arrived on Wednesday, we beat the streets and put big ads in all the papers and got good press too but it just didn't come together. Dang.
So, so proud of her for even giving it a shot. Way more than I could do.
Next time she won't be a write-in.
...and infiltrated by instigators and cops who initiate violence.
âYouâll develop herd â like a herd mentality. Itâs going to be â itâs going to be herd-developed, and thatâs going to happen. That will all happen.â
Oh noes, what will happen to the rugged individualism? And will the chip be visible?
ity this...ity that...that's not what I said...I have my own tapes if you want the truth.
And you have KK posting things about the rights excitement over the debates. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump doesn't show up for all three. The first is hosted by Chris Wallace from FOX...but he seems to have his father's good name at stake recently...and will challenge POTUS a great deal. The final debate is Kristen Welker from MSNBC, and by then he will have performed so poorly that the "Fake News" liberal media debate won't give him a fair chance....so he'll protest and decline to attend. Something big will happen that day...a vaccine...a cure...something so big he needs to focus on what's good for the country.
The other thing that will happen is that Trump has made Biden sound like a babbling idiot in commercials. On stage...Joe will be OK. He'll be engaging....he'll be likable...he'll take a few seconds to answer at times, but most importantly he isn't nearly as feeble as Donnie told us. All while Donnie is failing under the ever-mounting pressure of losing ground. It's gonna be must-see-TV.

Appearing at a town-hall-style event in Philadelphia, Mr. Trump presented a view of the pandemic radically at odds with the view of public health officials, insisting again that the virus would disappear on its own and contending that âweâre rounding the cornerâ of the crisis. He cast doubt on the value of wearing masks, citing the wisdom of restaurant waiters over the counsel of his own medical advisers.
...
Mr. Trump did so again during the ABC forum, repeating his assertion that the virus would just vanish even without a vaccine. âIt is going to disappear â itâs going to disappear, I still say it,â he said. âYouâll develop herd â like a herd mentality. Itâs going to be â itâs going to be herd-developed, and thatâs going to happen. That will all happen.â
...
But the president disputed himself by claiming that he did not publicly diminish the severity of the virus. âI didnât downplay it,â he told the host, George Stephanopoulos. âI actually, in many ways, up-played it in action.â
In
March, however, he told the journalist Bob Woodward exactly the
opposite, admitting in private that the virus was âdeadly stuffâ even as
he was telling the public that it was akin to the average flu. âI wanted to always play it down,â he told Mr. Woodward
in a recorded conversation that was made public in recent days. âI
still like playing it down, because I donât want to create a panic.â
I'm displaying my first political yard sign ever. I just hope the house the doesn't get egged or TPed - with the type of trumpety yokel we have in this trash town. I have to put it close to house so the flood lights come on if someone tries to steal it in the dark.
I was up in rural Maine last week, Trump signs everywhere. Mostly in front of dumpy houses. I did see a few "Anybody but Trump" signs that made me chuckle.
