70. It was good speech.

I knew it was a long shot but I held out hope that maybe scotus was not totally broken and would hold the lower courts decision but it is totally broken. I should have known better. I am amazed that one of the justices who just handed djt the white house has a wife that openly coordinated an attack on this country and didn't recuse himself and not a word said or the court surrounded by the people after we all know full well had that been a Dem justice they would not have been left the choice by robert's.

Its 2016 all over again. Hearing people talk and listening and watching all the parts of a conversation (its not just about listening). People again seem to think djt does not stand a chance to win... 90+ felonies "No way he wins" "Americans will vote"... just like when djt said he could grab'em by the p... people thought he was done then also... nope because russia was listening.

When one takes into account the magnitude/gravity of the crimes djt has committed from Emoluments, Obstruction, Hatch Act, Profiting off the office, attacking the capitol, trying over throw a peaceful transition of power, stealing top secret material and what I personally think is his worst crime knowingly lying about a deadly virus calling it a hoax telling us disinfectant injections might cure it and doing all he could to slow/stop a response to COVID. To date 1.2 million + Americans have died. HOW does 1 MAN do this much and still not only walk free but almost have the chance to do so again only next time he will be much much worse, have it sown up already?

Make no mistake if he is in the general election he wins. If one think he won't they simply do not grasp the magnitude of what is happening and how much money globally is involved (Citizens United is doing exactly what scotus/gop wanted ) don't grasp how many people not only in this country are counting on him winning but others, people who ALL their lives and even their parents and grandparents have been engaged in politics and now after decades see a real chance to get changes they want like abortion got and they are not done either... this does not happen even once in a lifetime and its pathetic because it should have never been allowed to happen at all or go this far. There is no looking past knowingly lying about covid, no not with 1.2million dead Americans or top-secret document being stolen potentially sold by now plus who knows where the docs that could NOT be found are) He has to have $100+million in legal fees by now and donations can't be covering it all. Fact he IS still free can only only have but a couple answers and one I've heard is that Dems want him to be the nominee just as much as putin and gop want djt to win. That 90+ felonies is good to run against etc, etc. The problem with this I think is Dems still think there are people left in the GOP who still respect the system, law & order and give way too much benefit of doubt to that. Thinking about going thru life not giving the benefit of doubt but thinking everyone is the enemy is impossible I do this too but this is th gop and they + djt have told us exactly what they will do once in office.

The only way djt does not win is exactly how Glen Kirschner says. That ~80million is not going to get it. Last time when djt injected votes he figured 75million would be more then enough for a bragging historical win he didnt not count on 80million for Biden. They are now and much more. If we are to win by vote it must be be by millions and millions and million not a landslide but a supernova, numbers too enormous to cheat on because if it is not the 2024 general presidential election WILL end up at scotus and scotus will seat djt like they did bush jr, last time.
