Are Republicans out to steal the 2020 election?

...or are Democrats out to get Trump?...who's attacking whom and why?

...a quick look on U-Tube finds many examples of Trump and Republicans blasting Democrats with unfounded lies and innuendo...why?















...and that's not including the unprecedented attacks on Democrats during the House Intelligent and Judiciary Impeachment Hearings by Republicans...and the attacks continue,

...Republicans claim Democrats are motivated solely to over turn the results of 2016 election, are out after Trump yet Republicans appear to be positioning themselves to steal the 2020 election by attacking Democrats with untruths and lies...

...by attacking Democrats and concerned Americans who have legitimate Constitutional issues with Trump and Republicans corrupting elections, are Republicans really trying to mask their attempts to steal the 2020 election (with foreign help)?

...I would have to say, yes...

Not gonna watch all those vids, because I'm pretty sure I know what the content is.

It's gonna be a painful year to live through. Hopefully, we get a decent outcome.

I don't shit, though, unless absolutely necessary.

The wounds are permanent. I live with them, and BTW they're not physical in nature.

It’s all out in the open. trump and his minions are actively asking for foreign interference in the coming elections. Acquittal is almost guaranteed in the senate. He will pardon his cronies and himself. It’s all there right before our eyes. They twist the truth so much it’s like trying to get a twister tie that’s been wrapped and turned so tightly you just give up trying to get it undone because it is so warped it’s almost unrecognizable and won’t be good for anything.

I don’t have a real good feeling about this. I hope I’m just a little paranoid and immensely wrong.

Bill Barr will get right on that investigation. It's comforting to realize that.

They need to go to rehab, since 2016 was the "what the hell did I do last night" phase of their drunken binges. And they are doing everything they can to save what's left of their power. Their time is fading and hopefully it will be soon.

Through massive obstruction (which Mueller felt was prosecutable) and Bill Barr's interference, Trump managed to skate by the Mueller Report but his and Rudy's scheme with Ukraine, of course, got detected but Rudy is back over there, presumably trying to find some way to find dirt on Biden, Schiff, Obama, somebody to help them in the 2020 Elections.

Additionally, Barr and his lackey US Attorney Durham are still stubbornly refusing to accept the findings and conclusions of Horowitz's IG Report and continuing to search for some kind of vindication for their "Deep State" and "Trump Campaign Spying" conspiracy theories to discredit the FBI's investigation of Trump and the subsequent Mueller Report. Democrats best be on their guard for some kind of last-minute shenanigans or some breathtaking "announcement" of an "investigation" of some sort against the eventual Democratic nominee next year.

I have been thinking recently about the reality of another Trump victory, Republican majority in the Senate and a few more extremist right-wing justices on the Supreme Court and I honestly don't know what we will do. I really cannot imagine living in that world. It would be pure hell.

Voter suppression, foreign interference, Barr or the FBI making some last minute announcement, etc.

Without lying and cheating, there's no Republican Party. Period.

Definitely not going to watch any of that conservative tripe, but they are currently attempting to steal the election. Trump's been doing it in broad daylight with his extortion of the Ukrainian government. They will suppress the vote as best they can. They will remove voters from the roles. They will accept foreign contributions into their reelection campaigns. They will even refuse to accept the results of lawful elections and attempt to limit the power of incoming Democratic office holders. The vast majority of the media will pump millions of dollars worth of free media exposure into the Republicans' campaigns and do their very best to present the modern GOP as something other than the flaming dumpster fire it has become. They will manipluate vote tallies in a number of states...expect all the usual suspects such as Florida and Ohio to experience irregularities in vote counts. They will also attempt to intimidate voters at the pools and engage in numerous example of sh*t-heel rat-f*ckery.

This the End-Justifies-the-Means Party...make no mistake. In their minds the rules are only written to apply to liberal suckers.
