RepubliCONs October Surprise

The “October Surprise” is a common political ploy used by a political party to harm their opponents. There is no doubt Barr and Trump will utilize this as a last-ditch effort. They have enormous tools at their disposal, including Putin’s manipulations. With Russia in their pocket, these guys could produce anything from deep fake videos of Biden in a compromising position, such as the “dead girl, live boy” kompromat, or they could instigate false flag violence in order to turn the election their way. They not only have every option at their disposal while in power, they have indicated they have every intention of using all of them.

Even if he pulled a 100% effective vaccine out his ass. Which no way will happen.

Even if it did it would be suspect and questioned why now.

4. I just saw a NYTimes vid about Alan Lichtmans predictions on this election

Lichtman predicted the last bunch of elections and nailed it..
Spoiler alert.... Biden wins. Past performance is not predictor of the future but it's all we have.
This does not mean don't vote. We still have to put nails in tRumps coffin... It's too important not to mess it up..

Reminding everyone that tRUMP is a constant liar that never tells the truth with his best whoppers and the facts about Attorney General Bill Barr's perverted tRUMP worship and molestation at the Justice Department.

Since Fux Newz and their Reich Wing extremist sites won't tell their viewers the truth, then do it for them. Blanket them with the facts and remind them that we did not have blown off pandemics, coming economic ruin propped up with debt, national security failures, and so much chaotic instability when tRUMP took over to piss it all away.
