This speech was given by Dwight D Eisenhower on June 6, 1944 before the invasion of Europe (yea, we actually did that) resonates deeply too me now at this moment, the day before the most consequential election in America's history in my opinion.


November 3, 2020, tomorrow, is such a day, a day that will go down in American History as a deciding moment, whether we choose Trump's philosophy, one of seperation & division, one of it's us against them, Democrat vs. Republican, no middle ground, no United States, simply Red vs. Blue, Liberal vs. Conservative & that's that.

I grew up in a divided America in the 60's, one where a Black man/woman couldn't even drink from the same fucking water fountain/eat at the same restaurant or sit anywhere they wanted or go to the same schools.

Yea, that's a very scary, horrible fact about this country that occurred only 60 years ago, and sometimes it seems to me that things haven't changed that much.

So, on Wednesday we might know by then the direction this country is headed (if the ballots are counted in a timely manner), whether Trump is really a representative of America's values or not.

I'm not optimistic actually, following the history of this country.

Take care/be safe/wear a mask :)

President Donald Trump suggested to a Florida crowd he may fire Dr. Anthony Fauci after the election, escalating his feud with the nation's leading expert on infectious diseases and providing a window into a potential post-November 3 administration purge.

Trump plans to declare premature victory if he appears "ahead" on election night

This is the first account of Trump explicitly discussing his own intentions.

Scoop: Trump's plan to declare premature victory

President Trump has told confidants he'll declare victory on Tuesday night if it looks like he's "ahead," according to three sources familiar with his private comments. That's even if the Electoral College outcome still hinges on large numbers of uncounted votes in key states like Pennsylvania.
The latest: Speaking to reporters on Sunday evening, Trump denied that he would declare victory prematurely, before adding, "I think it's a terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election. I think it's a terrible thing when states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over."
  • He continued: "I think it's terrible that we can't know the results of an election the night of the election. ... We're going to go in the night of, as soon as that election's over, we're going in with our lawyers."
  • "We don't want to have Pennsylvania, where you have a political governor, a very partisan guy. ... We don't want to be in a position where he's allowed, every day, to watch ballots come in. See if we can only find 10,000 more ballots."
Behind the scenes: Trump has privately talked through this scenario in some detail in the last few weeks, describing plans to walk up to a podium on election night and declare he has won.
  • For this to happen, his allies expect he would need to either win or have commanding leads in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Iowa, Arizona and Georgia.
Why it matters: Trump's team is preparing to falsely claim that mail-in ballots counted after Nov. 3 — a legitimate count expected to favor Democrats — are evidence of election fraud.
Details: Many prognosticators say that on election night, Trump will likely appear ahead in Pennsylvania — though the state's final outcome could change substantially as mail-in ballots are counted over the following days.
  • Trump's team is preparing to claim baselessly that if that process changes the outcome in Pennsylvania from the picture on election night, then Democrats would have "stolen" the election.
  • Trump's advisers have been laying the groundwork for this strategy for weeks, but this is the first account of Trump explicitly discussing his election night intentions.
What they're saying: Asked for comment, the Trump campaign's communications director Tim Murtaugh said, "This is nothing but people trying to create doubt about a Trump victory. When he wins, he's going to say so."
  • Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller predicted that Trump "will be re-elected handily and no amount of post-election Democratic thievery will be able to change the results."
Reality check: Mail-in ballots counted after Election Day as set forth in state-by-state rules are as legitimate as in-person votes recorded on Nov. 3.
  • Many states won't be done counting mail ballots by Tuesday night.
  • In Pennsylvania, state law prevents election officials from counting mail-in ballots before Election Day.
  • Night-of counts may be deceptive. It could be days, if not weeks, before we know who won Pennsylvania. If it's a close race, this could also be true for other states, given the record numbers of Americans who voted by mail this year.
  • Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said on NBC's "Meet the Press" today that there could be 10x as many mail ballots this year than in 2016, "so, yes, it will take longer" to count.
  • "I expect that the overwhelming majority of ballots in Pennsylvania, that's mail-in and absentee ballots, as well as in-person ballots, will be counted within a matter of days," Boockvar said.
What we're watching: Miller, on ABC's "This Week," predicted 290+ electoral votes for Trump on election night, and he claimed Democrats are "just going to try to steal it back after the election."
  • He described any prospective challenges by Democrats as "hijinks or lawsuits or whatever kind of nonsense."
Between the lines: Trump advisers are more optimistic about winning than they were three weeks ago, based on my conversations with multiple senior campaign officials over the past week, including two officials with direct knowledge of sensitive internal data.
  • They said analyses of early-vote totals in battleground states indicate he's doing substantially worse in Iowa and Georgia compared with this point in 2016, but better than expected in Texas, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona and Wisconsin.
  • Just a few weeks ago, senior Trump advisers were bearish about Wisconsin and had reduced TV advertising there to an insignificant figure. A senior campaign official told me, then, that the state didn't figure in his paths to 270 electoral votes.
  • But that appears to have changed. In recent days, senior Trump advisers have privately expressed growing optimism about Wisconsin, based on their analysis of early vote data.
The other side: “It comes as no surprise that Donald Trump and his campaign plan to declare victory before all the votes are counted. That has been his strategy for months, and nobody should fall for it,” Sen. Bernie Sanders said in a statement to Axios.
  • “It's why he is demonizing mail-in ballots and sabotaging the postal service. ... We will not allow that to happen. Every vote must and will be counted."

Naw, Cheeto Jesus is the Anti Christ, he did separate the sheep from the goats though, the goats will roam free and the sheep will be sheared and slaughtered. The only suckers and losers are those who support Trump.

Looks like Chris Wray the FBI director is on the post election block now, he was anyway, but this seals his fate, that will be 4 FBI directors and 3 AGs for Donald, if you include the new temporary FBI director. Donald list of people to fire after the election will be a long one and his own henchmen and minions will be running for the door at the same time.

Did anybody ever stop to think who Donald would get to staff out the WH for a second term? It's fucking near one man rule now, the only ones surrounding him are syncopates, cronies and fellow conmen.

Donald's last day of campaigning and this is his final message to America, if you elect this fuck again, the people will truly get the government they deserve, he will kill you all before he is done, me too probably. America is in judgement of itself, lets hope they don't pick the death penalty for themselves.

Trump lashes out after FBI announces investigation of Biden bus incident

"In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong," he said in a tweet about supporters who surrounded a Biden campaign bus in Texas.

Trump lashes out after FBI announces investigation of Biden bus incident
"In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong," he said in a tweet about supporters who surrounded a Biden campaign bus in Texas.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the FBI on Sunday after it said it was investigating reports that a caravan of his supporters harassed a bus belonging to Joe Biden's campaign.

"In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong," Trump said in a tweet. "Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!"

The president also referred to the incident during rallies earlier Sunday. Video of the incident, which occurred Friday, showed Trump supporters surrounding the Biden campaign bus with their vehicles in Texas. The video showed two cars colliding, and the Biden campaign said the pro-Trump trucks tried to run the bus off the road as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin.

"You see the way our people, they — you know they were protecting his bus yesterday," Trump said while addressing supporters in Michigan. "Because they're nice. So his bus — they had hundreds of cars, Trump, Trump, Trump and the American flag. You see Trump and the American flag. Do you ever notice when you see the other side — I don't even see much of the other side."

Biden responded later Sunday afternoon during an event in Pennsylvania, noting that the president had also tweeted praise for the supporters involved.

"Folks, that's not who we are," Biden said. "We are so much better than this. We're so much better than this. It's not who we are."

Caravans and car parades — made popular by pandemic social distancing requirements — have become a regular feature of the campaign trail, one particularly embraced by Trump supporters, but in recent weeks they've run up against early voting and other campaign activities, prompting voters to call the police.

You're right. This whole thing is a show and the "performance" is what it's all about for him. He doesn't go any deeper than that. He keeps an eye on the "ratings" and stock market, equating that with the "economy". It's bizarre the way he's succeeded to continually con forty percent of the people.
