lani, The author in the op-ed explained why Libertarians should vote for Trump and not Biden. I really can't imagine a Libertarian voting for a Democrat.

bbbearsmom, yes, I popped off my post before I read the article. I know Libertarians are for small government so, yeah, they wouldn't vote Democratic. The author started Libertarians for Trump in 2016, and trotted out that tired trope about Biden being a puppet for Bernie and AOC, so why do they even bother being Libertarians? I guess to throw their votes around and manipulate results as he advocated in 2016.

It's very scary to see people going onto social media and suggesting that democrats be killed. Yet, our current president is not addressing this issue. One really scary one is a high school student calling his "Trump supporters" to arms to kill Biden. Steve Bannon wants to behead people and put their heads on a pike. A police chief in Arkansas resigned after making threats on social media Meanwhile Trump is licking his wounds instead of calling for his supporters to stop this nonsense before someone gets hurt.

It is very discouraging that the toxicity lingers on. The GOP need the support of those 70+million that voted for Trump in order to stay in office in upcoming elections. So they have to back up his lies about non-existent voter fraud. I had about one day of hope and relief. Now I am on edge again.

lani, I'm on the edge too and work at not thinking about what is going to happen next because I can upset myself. The two Republican candidates for senator in Georgia are calling on the Secretary of Sate for Georgia to resign. Their message was the generic on about legal votes should be counted and illegal ones not counted with now evidence of any wrong doing. Their message to me implies that they think the Secretary of State should have fixed the election for them. doordie50, I do my meditation everyday because if I don't I have a rougher time the next day.

bbbearsmom , I just donated again to ActBlue for the Georgia Senate runoffs. I believe I've heard that GOP usually does better in runoffs; I didn't catch a reason. I'm thinking you have to vote in person and they are more likely to do that? But that is speculation on my part. I suppose I should go research how runoffs work in Georgia. I am relying heavily on my meditation practice also. OK, they can vote absentee for the runoffs, but they have to request a ballot. The way things are going I would vote in person. Hope Stacy Abrams can work some more magic.

SD governer Kristi Noem is soliciting donations to overturn the election, however the money is actually being funneled into her own re-election campaign. This is per some report I got on the GDT - I haven't fact checked it.
ETA: Re the firing of many top Pentagon and military personnel and replacing with Trump loyalists. Do you think he's planning some sort of military action between now and his removal? That seems to be the speculation.

lani, I can totally see him barricading himself in the white house with "his" military at the doors -like any good dictator.

I watched the National Veterans Day Observance wreath ceremony. The way he bounces around, twists back and forth and just can't stand still, makes you think Pence whispered "you should have gone before we left!".

lani, I've been thinking the same thing for months. "Oops! We're in the middle of a war, can't change presidents."
