After all you academics, members of the intelligentsia, nay sayers and sooth sayers decide what will, or will not, be allowed, make sure you notify the republicans.

Because we ALL KNOW that they don't give a shit about the rules, norms, or the constitution, which they use to wipe their ass. They don't care about this country, or democracy. That is SOOOO last century (pre Reagan).

They will do whatever they damn well please, making shit up to justify it, explain it, dismiss it. THAT IS WHAT THEY DO.

We will patiently explain to them why they can't do what they are doing, and they will say SO FUCKING WHAT. WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE DAMN WELL PLEASE.

So, all this "they can't do this" and "they can't do that"..... sit back and JUST WATCH THEM do it.

I will keep telling people, even though you are a peaceful and gentle person, MAKE SURE YOU ARE ARMED. If the turd DOES decide to push that last boundary to keep from going to jail, there IS going to be war. Call it civil, cultural, whatever. Letting them have our country is not an option.

I believe Biden has a commanding lead, and I can't see a way for them to pull it off. But I was gobsmacked when the turd was elected, and have been being gobsmacked weekly, sometimes daily, at what he, and his republican enablers, have managed to pull off, even though legally what they were doing was impossible. But they have done it.

So admonishing those of us who just can't bring ourselves to trust the "rule of law" holding, isn't helpful. We have to be prepared for the worst.
