This had to be. I anticipated the thing few day back. Also, I have question now that the novel peace price that was supposed to be awarded to Mr. Trump, is legit in terms whether he deserves that?

The nightmare continues to get worse - and the Republicans ignored the overwhelming evidence that already existed in January.

It is exactly what they want you to do and think. I got really pissed off that he is planning on doing this. I too have read and heard the same thing about stealing the election before now and assumed he would do this given their track record. Barr, Mitch and Jared will do ANYTHING to reelect tRump. Look at all the things they have already done. This is their playbook.

I get angry and that is good, it motivates me to take action, like today when I called 12 GOP senators as part of Indivisible's plan.

Don't despair, take action! It works, look at the repealing of the AC...WE did that by our activism.

That's what's happened in 3 elections in my lifetime - 2000 (Florida), 2004 (Ohio) and 2016 (Electoral College). It's absolutely essential that we GOTV! Trump has cheated his entire life and because he's gotten away with it he's gotten obvious and careless!
