us off guard, or throw some sort of monkey wrench into the election.
This time we must be on the high watch - make it our business to be prepared and ready to nip any machinations on his part in the bud. Now that we know that he will stop at nothing, it would be stupid on our part to turn a blind eye to his crap.
As promised, I'm posting any and all articles, posts and information relevant to the upcoming election and making sure we turn our battle ground states from Red to BLUE!

We’ve ONLY got 12 day left to defeat Donald Trump.
AND Michael Moore comes to us with some cautionary advice:
Michael Moore is RIGHT! Donald Trump might seem unhinged and on the BRINK — but behind him is a malicious strategy LASER-FOCUSED on keeping the White House.
We’ve seen the polls — we’ve heard the odds. But, Gloria, we can’t leave this election up to chance. These final days are just TOO IMPORTANT to sit out.

And
as I read through this, one thought comes to mind - the response I
posted this morning in FB - told ya! He is going to try to milk this to
shame the Democrats and try to force the election to be postponed as we
indulge in "sympathy for the devil."

> THIS IS LONG BUT A MUST READ & SHARE!!
> So Now Trump Has Earned Your Trust? A Note of Covid Caution from Michael Moore....
> There is one absolute truth about Trump:
He is a consistent, absolute, unrelenting, fearless, and professional
liar. A serial liar. A factually proven liar. How many lies now has the
Washington Post proven in these four years? 25,000?
A lie at least twice during every waking hour? Think of all the bad
people you’ve known in your life. Even the worst ones you couldn’t say
that about.
> So why on earth would we believe him today? Has he earned your
trust now? No. Yet, we’re decent enough to not want him to be sick, to
wish him well, and maybe just this once give him the benefit of the
doubt because why would he lie about this?
> That’s not the question. The question we — and yes, I mean you,
too, the media — the only question we really need to be asking is this: Why would Trump all of a sudden just start telling the truth?
> All of you, my friends, have been saying for four years, “Trump’s a
liar! Trump is a liar!” Why would you believe him now? He very well may
have COVID-19. In fact, let’s assume he does. Of course he has it! Does
that make him not Trump? I’m certain Mussolini came down with the flu
one time. Pinochet and Franco would catch a cold every now and then.
Margaret Thatcher must have had a migraine or two. None of them suddenly
became nice or did good things - or started telling the truth - because
they got sick. Jesse Helms with a runny nose was still Jesse Helms.
> But Trump has a history of lying about his health. His longtime New
York doctor, Dr. Bornstein, admitted a few years ago that Trump
dictated his perfect “doctor’s letter” during the 2016 campaign. Then
there was the White House doctor who said Trump could live “200 years!”
What about his lying about that emergency trip to Walter Reed “to
complete his physical?” Trump also has a history of lying about his
opponents’ health (like when Hillary fell ill at the 9/11 remembrance
ceremony, or what he’s now been saying about Biden’s health).
>
So we must be skeptical. We must always remain skeptical when it comes
to Trump. He may have it. But it’s also possible he’s lying. That’s just
a fact.
> But why would he lie about this? What would he have to gain? I
mean, it looks bad that he’s called it a hoax for seven months, and he
totally mismanaged the government response — and now he has it? Doesn’t
it look terrible that he’s spent months downplaying wearing masks,
dismissing social distancing, holding large rallies filled with elderly,
at-risk supporters and even killing his own supporters like Herman
Cain? And doesn’t this go against his brand of always projecting (and
exaggerating) his own strength, his health, his genetics, his virility?
Yes. This is all true. He would not want to admit he‘s come down with a
hoax.
> But — he’s losing the election. And he knows it. It’s not 2016. He
was hated in 2016, but he’s hated even more now. Millions of Americans
are ON FIRE and on the verge of serving him up a major league
ass-whooping and a record landslide defeat.
> So he needs - badly - to totally change the conversation about this campaign.
> And he just has.
> Democrats, liberals, the media and others have always been wrong to
simply treat him as a buffoon and a dummy and a jackass. Yes, he is all
those things. But he’s also canny. He’s clever. He outfoxed Comey. He
outfoxed Mueller. He outfoxed 20 Republicans in the GOP primary and then
did the same to the Democrats, winning the White House despite
receiving fewer votes than his opponent. He’s
an evil genius and I raise the possibility of him lying about having
COVID-19 to prepare us and counteract his game. He knows being sick
tends to gain one sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this.
> He’s been lying about how soon a vaccine will be ready. What better
way to hammer home that lie then by directing a saga in the final weeks
before the election that culminates in the release of this “vaccine.”
> The NY Times tax story was horrible for him. As was The Atlantic
story about him calling American troops losers and suckers. There are a
dozen more of these stories coming in October. Just last night, The New
Yorker detailed how his campaign finance director (and Don Jr’s
girlfriend) was fired from Fox News for....well...behaving like a
typical Fox News host by sexually harassing her assistant and forcing
Fox to pay a $4 million settlement to that assistant due to her
behavior. And also, last night, there was CNN playing an audio recording of Melania talking shit about children separated from their parents at the border — AND talking shit about Christmas. Christmas!
> These stories are about to be a daily occurrence. However, they may
get less airtime and be less damaging since Trump and FLOTUS are now
“sick” and supposed to be in our thoughts and prayers.
> But most dangerously, HE MAY USE THIS TO PUSH FOR DELAYING/POSTPONING THE ELECTION.
The constitution does not allow for this, but he doesn’t give a f*ck
about the constitution. He and his thug Attorney General Barr have no
shame and will stop at nothing to stay in power. He may even use this as
an excuse for losing.
> Then there’s this:
> He may use his Covid as a pretext to drop out of the race and
move Pence to the top of the ticket. Pence would temporarily become
President, and then Pence could pre-emptively pardon Trump for all of
his crimes.
> Again, though, he may have COVID. He probably does. But never,
ever, ever take him at his word and never, ever, ever underestimate his
survival skills or the depths of his deception or his evil.
> What can YOU do today? Make your plan to vote and stick to it.
Question everything. And if you and I are finally convinced he has it,
do NOT sit silent as he schemes how to use this illness for his benefit.
> Finally, on a personal note: Stay alive Mr. President. Your exit
from public life must happen in the right and decent way. You have many
years to live. You have a child to raise. Grandchildren who need you. A
base that loves you. And the families of nearly the quarter-million dead
who might be alive today had you done your job, had you cared, had you
not played politics with people's lives. Over 200,000 lost souls — and
YOU KNEW! You told Woodward in February it was a plague. 200,000 dead
because of decisions you made, because you denigrated science and
ignored the doctors.
> I’m certain you’re listening to them now.
> Covid must not remove you. That’s our job. With a pen and a ballot!!
