Donald J Trump Will You Please Go Now!
The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don't care how.
You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Donald J Trump, will you please go now!
You can go on skates. You can go on skis. You can go in a hat. But please go. Please!
I don't care. You can go by bike. You can go on a Zike-Bike if you like. If you like you can go in an old blue shoe. Just go, go, GO! Please do, do, DO!
. . .
Donald J Trump! I don't care HOW! Donald J Trump! Will you please GO NOW!
I said GO and GO I meant!
The time had come. SO... Donald WENT.

I've read that Seuss may have written this about Nixon. Feels appropriate here, not to mention, the reading level is probably just right with lots of colorful pictures to hold his attention.

It seems like the conservatives in WI forcing the election to continue did not work out in their favor. People don't wait for hours in line outside in a pandemic for the status quo.

See my post #59 on the previous page. Now the Republicans are holding up WI residents from receiving the additional $600 FEDERAL unemployment payments!! I'm livid!!

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Democrats absolutely have done it. So did the Whigs and the Federalists. It is a systemic fault that we should work to minimize. There are ways to do that. Having boards of equal amount interested parties on them, overseen by the judiciary (or even made up of the judiciary) is one way to mitigate it a bit. they have never done it in the way that the GOP did it with Project Red Map.
that raised the bar for Gerrymandering to such a degree as to render whataboutism impotent.
there has literally never been anything so politically craven in US history, and hopefully there never will be, again.
Yeah, I gotta agree with that too. And, go further. The whole GOP playbook the last few years, really going back to Gingrich has been win at ANY cost. This includes voter disenfranchisement, Citizen's United and other efforts to blatantly subvert the system of any equity and fairness.

It’s blatantly obvious they have fallen into a cesspool of subversion and sedition. They must be stopped.
