(19,204 posts)For some reason I have this nagging feeling that there's some "October surprise" in store. I have no evidence to back this up, not even the hint of a clue.

It occured to me that they've had almost four years to plan this, this time. They were hurried and panicked in 2020. They tried every bullshit option they could think of on the fly. In the end, they ran out of time.
Vladimir Putin has much riding on this election as well. His invasion of Ukraine has been going remarkably better since the Big Orange Pig told his subjects in the House to sit on aid to Ukraine. It'll go even better if Trump is elected. Putin will have carte blanch to remake the USSR if Trump is elected. I expect Russia to throw everything they have at getting Trump elected. They've had almost four years to prepare as well. One thing I don't expect, is them doing nothing.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong about all this. If I am, I'll never be as happy to eat all those words as is humanly possible. It'll make my lifetime. But if I'm not........
