It's too late for the mail

Don’t mail your ballot
It’s too late for that
Drop it off
If your inclined to still put it in the mail go ahead and use it for fire starter or flush it down the toilet or pop it in your recycling because that’s all it will be good for.
If you want your vote to count take it in yourself
They will try to steal that vote tomorrow even if they say they will count it today

It's come to this

It’s with a sad and angry sense of duty I’m feel compelled to post this.
I believe the republic is more at risk than any other time in our history with the exception of the civil war.
We face a threat greater than the world wars.
Greater than the Cold War.
This threat comes from within and makes it far more dangerous.
I implore you all to MAKE SURE you vote.
If you have any thoughts your mail in vote isn’t going to count because of timing of the mail or whatever don’t risk it. Don’t mail it in. GO TO THE POLLS. Do it in person.
The threat is too great. It is like a war.
As much as I hate to say it, you have to do it.
There is risk to defending your country and that is exactly what I believe you are doing by making sure your vote counts.
It’s sad and infuriating that we must risk our lives to defend our country this way. Some people are going to get sick and some people are going to die because of this....just as Americans died freeing the world from Adolph Hitler.
The stakes are too high
Get up, stand up, defend your country

It's all they have

Expect an even harsher and unhinged tone about recounts.
Everyone knows the electorate is changing
When millions more votes are cast for democratic candidates than republicans on a national level over multiple election years it’s obvious that America tends toward democrats.
All they have left is to cast doubt on the electorate and validity of the vote.
Expect this to be the pattern, ever more divisive and harsh in an attempt to cast doubt and subvert the vote.
Playing clean and fair has only one outcome and that outcome does not look good for the Republican Party.

Sometimes

Though I’m working really hard to keep anger in check and focus that energy on our mission I just have to vent and admit my vindictiveness

When we are all at our holiday dinners and we have secured the house and hopefully the senate and crazy uncle Charlie starts talking about reaching across the aisle
6 words
Merrick Garland-Brett Kav-never again
You thought Obama rammed it down your throat? You ain’t seen nothing yet
No more compromise
No more retreat
When any of these shit weasel reps try to switch parties to hang on to power
Thanks but no thanks
Fuck you very much
That goes for everyone except Lisa Murkowski but she has to do it real soon or it will be apparent to me her vote was cast to secure her seat after she was assured BK would be approved
