Nuthin' Says Somethin' Like ...

Nothing says “we can win this election fair-and-square” like launching lawsuit after lawsuit to keep votes from being counted.

Nothing says “we want the will of the people to prevail” like setting fire to ballot boxes, or ensuring that ballot boxes are simply unavailable.

Nothing says “we want the voices of all Americans be heard” like making sure voting is made as complicated as possible – and, in some cases, impossible.

Nothing says “we believe the American people will vote to re-elect Trump” like trying to keep the American people from getting to the polls to cast their ballots.

Nothing says “our ‘pResident’ has done a great job on Covid-19” like declaring the pandemic to be over – while thousands continue to die.

And for the finale – ta da! – nothing says “strong, confident leader” like putting up even more barricades around the White House two days before an election.

Why is America’s self-declared “favourite president” so afraid of the American people? Why is the man – who once said he’d rush into a school in an active-shooter situation without fear – erecting walls to keep him safe from a citizenry he still insists adore him?

Nothing says “fearless leader” like being this afraid.

like continuing to refer to Senator Warren as "Pocahontas", despite having been told repeatedly how offensive it is to do so.

This thread could effortlessly go through January 20th.

... it's a constant threat to cause disruption or cost ya $$$ in legal fees so you'll just give up and do it his way ...
... this administration is a constant parade of projection -- which keeps us scrambling to cope ...

I'm here in eastern PA on the edge of the blue and red sections of the state ... it's a little scary, but we've a solid Gov, Lt Gov and AG.

there will be an immediate coup attempt because the fascist occupying the WH does not want to relinquish power after an overwhelming vote by the American people to rid themselves of this blight and his family. Can this literal stain be able to sneak in some of his militia? Will our military have to become involved? EXTREME RW skullduggery afoot. Our leaders are not stupid, so failure is in trump's future, starting Tuesday evening.

means he wears on his lapel when he asks people to boycott an American tire company “Goodyear”
that makes the tires for nascar and for the Limo that totes his fat ass around in. While he created no jobs for Ohioans in his phony tv ads.

while spouting denial of real events as fact, and Nazi Rhetoric as GOP Dogma (well, that last one is actually GOP approved language).

like dodging service with "bone spurs", then calling those who served and died "suckers" and "losers."

"Perfect physical specimen", my hairy arse.
