Trump and the Repugs are proving that America is vulnerable to a bad-faith, lawless MINORITY that s the election process, the legislative process, and Federal judicial system in its favor, while the Dems stand by fecklessly.
The Trash/Repug phenomenon proves America is ed and un able
When America was fighting the external foe of USSR, there was some unity.
Now there is no external foe, America fights and eats itself.
Trumpists don't give a about Repug party, and give less of a about democracy, Cons ution, and America itself (while hypocritically waving the flag) while seeking to be the prime and only power over America.
The oligarchy and Capitalism are the in the background as the inhumane and anti-democracic movers and exploiters of Trumpism
btw, I read the guy who ran the Swift Boat smear has signed up to a superPac to smear Biden.

Military Times Polls, surveying active-duty troops in partnership with the Ins ute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University, have seen a steady drop in troops’ opinion of the commander in chief since his election four years ago.
In the latest results — based on 1,018 active-duty troops surveyed in late July and early August — nearly half of respondents (49.9 percent) had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. Questions in the poll had a margin of error of up to 2 percent.
Among all survey participants, 42 percent said they “strongly” disapprove of Trump’s time in office.

Data firm predicts election 'chaos' as Trump seems to win in a landslide before losing as more votes are counted
presumably because Trump will win "potentially in a landslide"
when in-person votes are counted on Election Day,
"but lose a week later" as absentee ballots are counted,
Trump is already stoking mistrust surrounding absentee and mail-in ballots, adding fuel to this potentially chaotic fire.

‘Troubling’: Experts fear Trump’s ‘October surprise’ could hurt America’s public health ‘for generations to come’
Public health experts on Saturday decried the Food and Drug Administration’s “troubling” approval of a Covid-19 treatment which has not been proven to help patients who are severely ill with the disease.
The FDA expanded its emergency authorization on remdesivir on Friday evening, allowing its use for all patients who are hospitalized with Covid-19.
Previously, the drug had been approved—and shown to benefit—only patients who are not ill enough to require the use of a ventilator.
FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn claimed that “the data show that this treatment has the potential to help even more hospitalized patients who are suffering from the effects of this devastating virus,” but epidemiologists and other experts pushed back.
“No published research supports such widespread use,”
Remdesivir has been shown to improve recovery time for patients who require oxygen but not ventilation, but has not been shown to save lives in the sickest patients
“It seems to be a pattern of approval
without science,
without data,
without evidence,”
the FDA’s credibility has “already been sacrificed.”
The Trump campaign reportedly refers privately to
a vaccine approval by October, just ahead of the general election, as “the holy grail.”
“Bending to Trump White House pressure will only harm trust in the longtime venerable ins ution and hurt public health for generations to come.”

FDA already had been d to BigPharma and BigDevice, resulting in FDA approving that harmed or killed 100Ks of Americans with BigPharma paying $10Bs of fines.
Trump campaign has knowingly accepted dozens of donations from notorious neo-Nazi
The Trump campaign has accepted at least $2,000 fromMorris Gulett, the head of an Aryan Nations outpost in Louisiana, in 29 separate donations dating back to December 2017,
Gulett, the leader of the white nationalist Church of Jesus Christ Christian,
The campaign has also accepted donations from businessman Peter Zieve, who was sued by the state of Washington for discrimination against minority applicants and forcing his racist views on employees.
Zieve allegedly offered a $1,000 “procreation bonus” to white employees to prevent minorities from outnumbering white people in the U.S.

Historian says white evangelicals who are still backing Trump are making a huge mistake
72% of white evangelical Protestants approved of Donald Trump’s work as president in June, and
59% strongly approved.
35% say that Trump has been a “great President” and
34% say he has been “good”.
No other religious sub group rates Trump positively.
the Christian nationalism behind the evangelical political program, embodying “assumptions of
nativism,
white supremacy,
patriarchy, and
heteronormativity,
along with divine sanction for
authoritarian control and militarism.”
evangelicals embrace a militantly white patriarchy.
they universally deny his personal moral failings, by focusing, for example, on hoping that he would tweet less, rather than paying attention to his long-standing behavioral patterns and policy initiatives.
Public opinion polls show that the evangelical agenda continues to lose popular support in America.
On issues of race, gender, government regulation, and taxation, evangelicals have become an even smaller minority.
they are so eager to attach themselves to a leader with authoritarian tendencies who is systematically dismantling our traditional democratic processes and norms.
Democracy has not been favorable to hatred of sexuals, white supremacy, and traditional gender norms.
Their defense of Trump reveals how many supposedly bedrock Christian principles they willingly sacrifice to achieve their political agenda.
“Moral Majority” has become a frankly political minority, a partisan interest group shorn of the trappings of ethical righteousness.
While 26% of Americans older than 65 were white evangelicals in 2017, that was true of only 14% of 30- to 49-year-olds, and 8% of 18- to 29-year olds.
this evangelical error threatens the very nature of American politics and society,
in which such an ideological minority could flourish.

that fixed everything
"“The thing that struck me the most of this entire era and as many Trump books as there have been throughout this period of time, is that
this summer alone, we have three of the closest people to the first family,” said Fox.
“We have Michael Cohen, Mary Trump, and now Stephanie Winston Wolkoff
who have felt the need to keep receipts of their conversations, of their text messages, with their email exchanges, with their bosses, their closest friends, and their uncles.
I think that’s the most revealing detail, that the closest people around them that they would need to save these bits of information because
one day they would need to protect themselves from the family Trump.
It’s such a stunning, important revelation from all of these books.”"

How many of his cronies will he pardon?
The pardon power is plenary. Could be quite a few, if Trump loses.
If I were a cop I wouldn't appreciate someone saying "cops choke sometimes"
“It’s days like this that make me wonder if I should be tweeting more or golfing more. . . .”
profits over people. let's our own nest for a little bit of money.
Capitalists and Capitalism don't give about human/environment health and survival.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-campaign-woesPolling shows that women, besides supporting Trump in much smaller numbers than men, also tend to rate Trump lower on key personal attributes. The biggest differences were on courage and on compassion for ordinary people, according to a Pew Research Center survey in June. The survey found that men are more likely to see those qualities in Trump, while women tend to see them in Biden.
