Crossroads. Midnight. Sharpened ashwood stake. You know what to do.

As I've mentioned once already today - and, I'm sure - many more times before next Tuesday, the Republican Party is the most dangerous enemy the United States faces today.

I can't even, today. Republicans openly engage in voter suppression, and not a peep from the MSM. Trump spews demonstrably false bullshit about the newly discovered emails that NO ONE knows anything about, and the MSM let it go unchallenged. Trump's past (and present) is a veritable cornucopia of fraud, corruption, bankruptcy, lies, financial ties to a hostile foreign government, adultery, screwing creditors, sleaze, misogyny, racism, bullying and sexual assault. Yet the MSM, with precious few exceptions, has chosen to ignore all these issues to focus obsessively on Hillary's emails and their own decades-long narrative of her "untrustworthiness."

Their utter failure to consider the policies of the two candidates has favored Trump, since he has no policies; and their false equivalencies masquerading as objective journalism have further poisoned the well for Hillary. They have functioned as de facto Trump surrogates. And after they've done everything in their power to get the most unqualified candidate ever to run for the presidency elected*, we'll be subjected to months, if not years, of journalistic hand wringing about the debased state of our democracy.

*Yes, I think Trump will win. And yes, I check in with 538 and yes I know that presidential races tighten just before the election. I also know that no one, republicans included, took Trump seriously when he started running. Look what happened.

I have repeatedly - if the Republicans cannot win the election fairly, they will steal it.

I am a peaceful person, but there is an unholy rage consuming me right now. I hate these un-American POSs with every ounce of my being.

Republicans have already left the constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the United States of America far behind.

A prime example: "We don't have to hold any hearings on Supreme Court Nominations" despite the Constitution (Art. II, Sect 2, clause 2) clearly saying the "the President shall have the Power... and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court,"

SHALL APPOINT. There's no fucking wiggle room there.

Republicans have simply nullified this section of the Constitution, and nobody has stopped them.

The only part of the Constitution that really matters any more is the 2nd Amendment.
