  1. Our military matter, our seniors matter and millions of Americans who voted by mail have the right to have their votes count. No complaints from Trump and Republicans about the count in 2016.
    BYEDON /BIDEN/HARRIS 2020
    🗳️🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. VOTE! BECAUSE WE STILL CAN!
      A Broadside from A Veteran

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaFnSSntL_Q

      WE HONOR AND CHERISH the memory, the courage, and the spirit of those Americans who suffered and fought and died whether willingly or unwillingly in the name of our Nation: on the battlefields, on the cotton fields, on the Great Plains and the River Valleys, and those Americans who are today being assaulted, beaten, shot and murdered by unrepentant and undeniably racist police forces befitting a fascist regime, and those Americans who daily fill our hospitals fighting a novel virus, contagious and deadly. But if we wish to make this claim of honor true, first we must honor Truth itself; for, Truth is the only thing that cannot be overcome. AND TRUTH IS NOW TELLING US WHAT MUST BE DONE!

      REGRETFULLY, IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE AND SOUND REFLECTION upon:

      👉 His fluency of falsehoods,
      👉 His fear of criticism and responsibility,
      👉 His insistence on taking credit where credit is not due,
      👉 His deficit of emotion-regulation resulting in juvenile displays, personal attacks and insults unbecoming an adult,
      👉 His incumbency and his bid for reelection being void of any plan, agenda, mandate, message, or ideas,
      👉 His open threat to decline a peaceful transfer of power should he lose his bid for reelection,
      👉 His inability to maintain discretion on social media and
      👉 His increasingly odious and unstatesmanlike behavior that indicates a pathologically unstable personality such that:
      President Donald Trump has indisputably forfeited the trust and the confidence of those government confrères in his charge that procure sensitive and secret knowledge of matters affecting national security they cannot in good confidence share with him — their President and Commander-in-Chief!

      THIS SITUATION is unworkable, and gives rise to threats both domestic and foreign to the United States. WE CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF BEING AFRAID! Our moment, described as an “Inflection Point”, has come calling and in this election year of 2020, we have something to do — Let this be OUR remedy!

      OUR NATION imperfect, ever learning and self-correcting, possesses the keys to enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Nevertheless there come, from time to time, challenges to this ideal that require remediation. In these times we shall insist that our citizenship be recognized and counted, uncontested!

      AMERICA WILL NOT BE DISGRACED ANY LONGER!

      The case against the President is prima facie inasmuch as:

      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has been derelict in his duties,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has undermined The Constitution of the United States,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has committed acts of human cruelty at our Nation’s southern border – potentially to include crimes against humanity,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has been impeached,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has been found and confirmed as having lied to the American people about the true nature of the seriousness of COVID-19,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has not achieved any tangible act toward the betterment of the Nation,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has withheld information he is required by law to produce,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has verbally insulted our Servicemen and Servicewomen in our Nation’s military – calling them “suckers”,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has been curiously evasive amid investigations persuant to the nature of his relationship with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has openly encouraged extreme street violence at the level of complicity,
      👉 THIS PRESIDENT has perverted the utility of America’s federal defense and peace-keeping forces by turning them against America herself!

      This list of offenses, while not exhaustive, provides more than enough cause to pursue criminal charges!

      ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CLEAR, IS OBVIOUS, AND IS TRUE! AS WELL, IT IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE BY ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, BY THE FBI, BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, et al; AND BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION!

      FOR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED! ON THE CONTRARY, HE IS A MENACE TO THE PEACE!

      THEREFORE:
      IN ORDER TO RENDER THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN TERRIBLE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE

      WE SHALL lawfully heed any required safety measures due to COVID-19 without protest or complaint to include wearing face coverings, gloves, and practicing social distancing.

      AND IN RETURN
      WE SHALL NOT tolerate any barriers, threats, obstructions, hindrances or intrigues of any kind by any party whether from inside the United States or abroad by design or effect that suppresses, deters, delays, denies, manipulates, interrupts, or otherwise alters OUR CIVIL RIGHT AND OUR CIVIC DUTY TO CAST OUR VOTE, INVIOLATE, AS IT IS GUARANTEED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND — ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY — TO REMOVE AND REPLACE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, AND TO RESTORE THE PEACE!

    2. @Rune – Thorne Thank you for your courage and service and for honoring the oath you swore to protect and defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic. My word you have given me goosebumps, pride and confidence in the traits and values of what it really means to be American. With your permission I would be grateful if I could share your post?
      Thank you again and good luck to you and yours and stay safe. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. It isn’t a toupee – he had his Scalp Surgically Modified to cover his head with bad hair! (Vote out the plastic surgery freak!)

    1. @REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH
      No one lies more than trump, it is physically impossible.
      No GOP candidate has gotten more than 20% of the black vote;) The black people know the truth indeed.

    2. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
      ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999

      “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”
      ― The Donald @ The David Letterman Show, January 2015

      ― The Donald @ “Trumped!”, a syndicated radio feature, 2008

      “Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job [since joining the Obama administration as Secretary of State]. I like her.”
      ― The Donald @ interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, March 2012

      “I know [Hillary Clinton] very well, and I know her husband very well, and I like them both. They are just really terrific people. I like them both very much. But I think you’ll be looking at the record of Hillary Clinton. And how did she do as secretary of state? Probably above and beyond everybody else and everything else.”
      [speaking after the 2012 Benghazi attack]
      ― The Donald @ interview with NBC News, August 2013

      “I really believe the Republicans are just too crazy right. I mean, what’s going on [in that party] is just nuts.”

      “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. I’ve been around a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. …we’ve had some pretty bad disaster[s] under the Republicans.”
      ― The Donald @ interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004

      [Flip-flopping on the electoral college: from “disaster” to “genius”]

      [Trump in 2012, when it appeared that Mitt Romney might win the popular vote but lose the electoral college]
      [Trump deleted the following tweets:]
      “[Obama] lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!” (Nov. 6)
      “The phoney [sic] electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!” (Nov. 6)
      “More votes equals a loss… revolution!” (Nov. 7)
      [The following tweets remained:]
      “We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!” (Nov. 7)
      “Lets fight like Неll and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.” (Nov. 7)
      “This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!” (Nov. 7)
      “The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.” (Nov. 7)
      ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2012

      [Trump in 2016, after winning the electoral college with narrow wins in three states, while losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes]
      “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!” (Nov. 15)
      “If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily” (Nov. 15)
      ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2016

      “Mitt is tough. He is smart. He is sharp. He is not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love. So Gov. Romney, go out and get em. You can do it.”
      ― The Donald @ “Trump endorses Mitt Romney for president”, CBS News, February 2012

      “[Mitt Romney] is a choke artist… He doesn’t have what it takes to be president, that I can tell you.”
      [responding to Mitt Romney’s March 3, 2016 anti-Trump speech at the University of Utah accusing Trump of being a fraud]

      ― The Donald @ “Bring Back the Ðeath Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!”, a newspaper ad, May 1989

      [Speaking of his admiration for strong authoritarian government]
      “Q: What were your other impressions of the Soviet Union?
      A: I was very unimpressed. Their system is a disaster. What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That’s my problem with Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand.
      Q: You mean firm hand as in China?
      A: When the students poured into Tiananmen Square [in 1989], the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak… as being spit on by the rest of the world.”
      ― The Donald @ Playboy, March 1990

    3. The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
      The “genius” who hides his college grades.
      The “self-made man” who tax dodged a $413M “gift” from daddy’s real estate empire.
      The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs.
      The “playboy” who pays for $ех.
      The “Christian”, twice-divorced philanderer, who never asks God for forgiveness.
      The “man of the Bible” who declined to name even one of his favorite Bible verses.
      The “gentleman and champion for all women” who ordered his golf club managers to fire every woman who was not young enough and attractive enough.
      The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
      The “patriot” who dodged the draft; family tradition: grandfather was kicked out of Bavaria for draft-dodging, father bribed a doctor tenant to exempt Donald from military service.
      The “paragon of honesty” whose new immigration rules would have kept his and his senior anti-immigration adviser Stephen Miller’s grandparents out.
      The “steadfast defender of our nation’s borders” who married an alleged undocumented immigrant and illegal worker who sponsored her parents into the country by “chain migration”.
      The “staunch Republican” who donated to Democrats at all gov’t levels: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Anthony Weiner, Harry Reid, Andrew Cuomo, Terry McAuliffe, Eliot Spitzer.
      The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.
      The “President” who takes no responsibility.
      The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but never a mask.
      The “deal maker” who has yet to close a deal.

      If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows.

    4. @jeck jeck let’s talk about the LIE that Joe Biden stated on his own dead son what did you forget about that in 2010 stop smoking weed bro maybe you’ll get your memory back

  2. Of course its upsetting to see in real time a president inciting violence, trying to suppress the vote and delegitimize the election. It’s as if he isnt an American and has no love for his country

  3. I’m 50 and my legal grandfather was technically born a slave. We’re a VERY young democracy. Hope y’all voted blue.

  4. It’s Nov 3rd the day that will define who we are !!!
    Still time to register online to vote 🗳
    Let it do it !
    don’t wait till 2024 do it today !.

  5. True Republicans know they’ve been duped by Donald Trump. We’ve all been “played” at some point in our life. There’s not a single person watching this that doesn’t know it’s impossible to advance with a chronic liar.

    1. I’m hoping that when Trump is out of office his “spell” will be broken and most of his supporters will meander back to reality.

  6. “Givе me ten years, аnd you will not rеcognizе Germany anymore!”
    ― Adolf Schicklgruber @ last election slogan, 1933

  7. “Everything Won In The 1960s Is On The Ballot…” is simply b/c #DJT is “utterly incompetent” as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May fellow American voters accordingly tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” by overwhelmingly voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica

  8. Trump is such a horrible person to his core.. and the fact that the election is so close right now is so disappointing. Did NOTHING about the pandemic, puts kids in cages, makes money off his name while in office.. and still supported??
