Deep breath---inha-a-ale----------exha-a-ale! Now is not the time to "go all wobbly".

Now is the time to "keep calm and carry on".

Trump is desperate. He is a cornered rat and as such, he will try any way he can think of to escape. This evening, he basically dropped his pants and showed his ass on national TV. Confusing, childish, inept, arrogant and embarrassing are just a few of the adjectives that accurately describe his "performance".

Did he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807? Who knows.

What did he promise or threaten to do that he has actually as authority to do? Nothing that I heard.

Has he threatened or even entered "Executive Orders" in the past to take actions which were clearly beyond his authority? Repeatedly.

This evening's tantrum is already being described as a "stunt" by some in the national media and governors Pritzker and Cuomo have already told Trump to "pound sand".

Resist. GOTV. Eyes on the prize. We are winning and Trump knows it.

I needed to hear these words. I'm beyond comprehension with all of this.

Watching Rachel interviewing Jeh Johnson helped too. Smart people who know what they are doing.

Bill Barr can go rot in hell.
