WHAT DO THEY KNOW THAT WE DON'T? In 2018, we saw a steady parade of Repubs fleeing office, not

running for re-election.
I may have missed it , but I'm not seeing it now. In fact, McConnell, Trump, Barr, and countless others seem to be proceeding with total non-chalance, not even breaking a sweat about Election Day. And doing and saying even WORSE things than they've ever done. QAnon, conspiracy theories, racism running amok. Trump can't even be bothered to prepare for the sham "debate"...because he knows it's meaningless???
Something's up.

And before you flame me, I'll just say that I have never voted anything but Democratic in my life, and I cast my first vote in 1970.
The problem with being around that long is having to watch so many GREAT democratic candidates go down, Gore, Kerry, Hillary, to all sorts of skullduggery. I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN!

Any websites that give fire updates? The Bobcat fire is burning in the mountains just north of me.

I've been watching the progress every night and day as it gets closer, but today, visibilty is maybe 100 feet, the mountains are invisible, no idea what's happening.
My PD was totally blase' about it over the phone, saying *maybe* they'll do some kind of Amber Alert on phones if needed or *maybe* they'll drive around with loudspeakers on telling people to leave.
I'd like some actual information though!
Here's the view from my balcony last night before bed. No idea this morning how much further down the fire has come:

They went SUPER-LOW in Kenosha, so what unreachable HIGH are we supposed to go for now?

Are we extending open arms to gun toters?
Reaching across the aisle to people who think a killer should be President?
Finding "common ground" with common criminals?

We have to come up with a strategy that crushes this fascist bullshit, no holds barred. No compromises. No namby pamby koom-bye-ah "healing conversations", fuck it, this has to be dealt with, rooted out, stomped on, and exterminated.
