Sunday

... of a frightening remark made by Nosferatu Suppository-Head at the beginning of the Orange Gargoyle's first term: "the President's decisions will not be questioned." Or words very close to that dictatorial edict.
Trump believes that being President bestows endless power and authority without the constraints of courts or Congress. In his fevered mind he is an infinite power unto himself, and God help anyone that doubts it.
If he does try to rig or even cancel the mid-term elections, then regime change by any means necessary will be imperative. We cannot allow a petulant man-baby to destroy America, which has been his goal from Day One. And the malignant scum surrounding and enabling him had better start looking for countries with no extradition treaties.
There cannot be any "truth and reconciliation"; it's already been demonstrated that such a course of action just leaves the door wide open for those on the Dark Side to come back and do it all again, this time avoiding the mistakes of the past, and escalating the savagery and bloodshed by several orders of magnitude, making ICE invasions look like a Sunday School picnic.
This is as real as it gets, people, so appeasement is not an option. Psychopaths cannot be trusted for an instant, and we've got the Godzilla of psychopaths in the Oval Office, and he's driving the country off a cliff. If he isn't stopped, he will destroy America, and then the world.
