Everyone is speculating why

the rethugs are going along with Trump and his fantasies.
The normal explanation is that they are afraid of being primaried in their next election.

One big thing I haven’t heard is:
Russia has compromised most of them. Their actions speak volumes. Example...Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz and so many more are paralyzed and unable to think objectively. They are compromised cowards.

Trump Administration Redacts Meeting Minutes on the Presidential Transition

I haven't seen this posted. I remember reading this way back...They have had a plan all along.

From July 21, 2020

The Trump administration has redacted the meeting minutes pertaining to its presidential transition activities, which are required by law, raising concerns from former officials and experts.

As the November election approaches, the Trump administration must adhere to various legal requirements to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power if the president is not reelected. Under the 2015 Presidential Transitions Improvement Act, which amended the 1963 Presidential Transition Act, the president must establish a White House coordinating committee and council of agency transition directors six months prior to the election. In its guidance in April on how agencies should be preparing, the Office of Management and Budget noted that the latter council would meet on May 27. On June 17, Government Executive submitted a request for the meeting minutes to OMB and the General Services Administration under the Freedom of Information Act and on Friday received a response from GSA that was almost entirely redacted (OMB acknowledged the request but did not respond). The text under sections titled “Key discussion items from the meeting” and “Key action items from the meeting” was completely blacked out.

I love Ruth, she deserved to cross over

Like John Lewis, it is up to us now. Very scary. Hopefully we have the hutztba that it takes.

New name for the CON...

Donmentia

He can't even remember he is president. He keeps thinking Joe is.

Question about USPS oversight

I looked it up and there is a committee in the House.

Can they set up a system in every state to detour around the USPS, like drop off secure ballot boxes? The Dems could make sure people could access them....And they could create tutorials on exactly how to fill out the ballots so they are not rejected.
I know we have access to drop off boxes in CA, not sure if they are in every state.

We need a national voice to make this election not be sabotaged by Russia and Orange Frump.

It would be wonderful in Portland

if they had a wall of Moms and a wall of Vets, a wall of leaf blowers in front of them. In back of them they should have a choir singing in harmony This Land is Your Land and We Shall Overcome.
Trump could not make an add off of that.
