Greg- Most of the time my ideas fall flat, but once in a while I hit a zinger. So, first of all, the breakdown and history of vote winners/losers is really insightful. The breakdown with Obama and Trump is curious. I can't compete with a mathematician and in the end I guess we'll never know. What is flashing red is McConnell's election. Rumsfeld, McConnell, Cheney, Trump, the 4th of July deserters to Russia (Congressmen) and others will go down in my lifetime as the most evil, self-serving traitors. McConnell stole his seat time and again.

Here's my idea: I follow you, Malcolm Nance, Allison Gill, Sisters-in-Law, Zev, Michael Harriot, LB, Dr. Bandy Lee, Eric Boehlert, Ruth Ben Ghiat, LP, Lakota Man and others. Unlike Republicans who consolidate their interests, our pro-Democracy folks are doing completely separate things with the same objective in mind. It's hard following all of the above! Of course, there are more people I could name. But, maybe a ZOOM forum or collaboration with such great thinkers is in order. Bring all of the various constituencies and their followers together...Maybe another idea that will just fall flat. I know everyone has families and needs to make a living....

If I had to pick, and I have long before this column, I'd say that the ONLY explanation for T****'s increase in votes in 2020 is due to rigging. He had the motivation, the means, and certainly the mindset for such a thing. The only problem with it was that they just didn't rig enough. The 81 million for Biden must have shocked them as much, if not more, than TFG's 74 million did us. They underestimated Biden and after four years of dystopian hell, NOBODY underestimated T****, and all that he could have done behind the scenes. T**** himself was way too stupid and self-involved to do these things on his own, which is why he filled his administration with ratfuckers from top to bottom.

He may or may not run in 2024, provided he's still a free man, but it would do all of us well to never underestimate anyone named T**** for the rest of time. Cocaine Junior may come up in the future as might Ivanka. They learned everything they know from daddy. They were the very first cult members.

Recently, to my absolute horror, I saw a clip from one of T****'s recent Nuremburg rallies that was on C-SPAN. In the lower right corner, C-SPAN had placed their "2024" logo. Whatever the clip was being used for (it might have been Stephen Colbert), nobody mentioned that logo. I thought, am I nuts? Did I just see that? Yes, I did. So, what MAGA at C-SPAN decided that mid-2021 was a time to start trotting out the "2024" for THIS guy? Talk about needing a trigger-warning!
