Whoa! Stop for just a minute or two and think---really THINK---about what we are discussing and how

it is negatively impacting our lives.

A person who won the White House with the help of a national adversary, was twice impeached, was credibly accused of sexual predation by a couple dozen women, lost the popular vote twice, incited an insurrection in a failed attempt to retain power and is still claiming to be President is about to announce he will again run for the presidency in 2024 AND WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING WHETHER HE MIGHT POSSIBLY WIN!

Is America really that sick?

Will so many of us assume that "someone" will "do something" that we sit on our collective ass and PERMIT this LOSER to win?

is stay home and let him win by default.

If you're asking "Is the country stupid enough to put him back into the White House?"

The answer is resoundly "Yes".

Russia did.

And if the election is closely watched, fair, and all ballots count, it never will put him there again. That's why we have to stay alert, watch, and make sure we get out the vote.

It’s a country where at least 40% are so guided by greed and hatred of “the other” that it may be beyond saving

Vital warnings on covid & PPE. Experts estimated 140k lost lives can be attributed directly to him.

No one ever seems to mention this - to me his biggest crime of all
