Funtatlaguy's JournalHas anybody been audited? How long do they take?
Are Trumps so complex that they really can take more than two years?
Is there a way the new Dem House can find out if he was lying about the audits once they get his tax returns.?
* Election Alert - if you are near FtLauderdale - please READ THIS NOW!
The other side wants to bully us and stop the counting.
They have their goons there now trying to intimidate us and win the public relations war.
If you are anywhere in driving distance of Ft.LauderdLe, please go there now.
Here is the Broward County elections web site, with address and phone number.

Hey Broward Fla: There are no racists in heaven.
Love to see some Gillum/Nelson supporters go to the Broward County election center where the vote counting is ongoing despite Repub efforts to stop it....
Carry a sign saying this.
“There are no racists in heaven”.
You’re not directly calling the DeSantis/Scott supporters racists, but you really are.
And you’re making it personal to their “souls”....they hate that.
Why are the state polls almost ALWAYS wrong in the same direction?
It just boggles the mind that time after time, year after year, that so many of these state polls that will show a slight Dem lead turn into Repug wins and sometimes routs.
Either people are lying to pollsters, or the polling companies are all bad, or there is some hanky panky somewhere with computer source codes and some votes being changed in a few precincts.
The Senate May come down to 4 states MO, IND, FLA, TN.
I’ve been obsessed with the Senate the last two weeks.
Dems keep trending up with very high early turnout everywhere.
As you all probably know, we have to flip 2 seats to gain control to flip the current 51-49 GOP.
Here’s where I see the competitive races.
We will lose a seat in ND
We will gain 3 seats in AZ, NV, TX (yes! Texas where Dem turnout has been thru the roof!).
We will hold WVA, NJ, MONT.
That puts us where we need to be at 51-49 DEM with 4 more states in play.
That leaves us defending Fla, MO, IND.
GOP defending TENN.
So, we only have to win 2 out of these 4.
All 4 of these are now legitimate within the margin of error tossup states. All are Super close.
So, If you know any Dems or Dem leaning Independents in these 4 states, please beg them to vote on Tuesday. If you know Repubs in these states, tell them that you hope they vote “WEDNESDAY”.
Just imagine the Orange 🍊 guy in the White House waking up on Wednesday knowing that in January he will be having to face a Dem House AND a Dem Senate with all of that subpoena power.
Let’s go guys. Bring on that big blue wave 🌊 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Contact everyone you know between 18-29.
Different polls and studies say different things.
Some say turnout among this group will be low as usual but others say it will be higher.
But all say that when this age group does vote, they will vote D.
So, please, please, please with sugar on top........ask everyone in your sphere of reference under the age of 30 if they’ve voted...if they have, thank them and ask them to urge their friends.
If they haven’t voted, offer to take them and or follow up by Tuesday with them.
Young people will decide if we get our big blue wave 🌊 or just a blue trickle.
My challenge to you - find just ONE new voter.
We read and hear all the time about getting out the vote.
How we should all tell our friends and family to vote.
But, those are just vague statements.
I would like to ask and challenge everyone on DU to do something specific.
Between now and Election Day, please go thru all of your contact lists and spheres of influence.
Come up with just one person who votes in Presidential years but not in midterms.
Of course, make sure you know that this person will vote democratic.
Then make it your personal challenge to make sure this person votes early, absentee, by mail, or in person on Election Day.
Just ONE person.
We can all do that, I think. It’s not a huge ask.
And, just imagine if everyone who reads DU would do it.
Are you in?
The Trump era has changed so many personal relationships.
All of us have always had to (often delicately) manage the way we handle politics in our families, work, friendships.
Many have hard and fast rules just not to discuss politics and often religion.
But, the Trump era has changed that.
His Presidency is so different and so divisive that it’s almost impossible to ignore especially with the advancement of social media.
I had always hoped that the people who disagreed with me on politics were still good people.
I saw the Republicans in my family and friendships as people that just wanted smaller government, lower taxes, etc.
But, I didn’t really think of them as racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, etc.
But, I have unfortunately learned that I was wrong with many of them.
The Trump era and their votes and continued support of him and his enablers in and out of government have shown me some sides of these people that I either didn’t know or maybe just chose to ignore.
This isn’t earth shattering news.
I’m sure it’s happened to everyone here.
You have either cut off relationships or cut back on your interactions with Trump supporters that previously served larger roles in your life.
So, do I only blame Trump.
Do I blame the people for not living up to what I had wanted them to be.
Or do I blame myself for not seeing them for what they are or for making excuses for them.
It’s truly heartbreaking what the Trump era has brought to so many lives.
