#11  I suppose all those who might be affected have already voted. Good timing, Don!

#10  The USA is committing social, political, and economic suicide. Trump may just be delaying the inevitable, and China (at least on the economic front) will swoop in and pick up the pieces.

#9  Regardless of the election out ome, history (assuming western civilization survives in some corm) will see Trump’s administration as the besieged presidency. That he has grown into the office and has become increasingly effective and popular is a testimony to his determination and force of character. God willing he is re-elected there will be a deep reckoning with the deep state, the MSM and the tech oligarchs. Oh and China will increasingly go broke and isolated.

#8  And it still drives me nuts that Trump hired John Bolton. I'll get over it one of these days.

#7  Trump hasn't even fired the political appointees he is allowed to fire.

This is hyped.

#5  But who's gonna initial off on the 702's?

[Oh, never mind, they don't do it anyway.]

#4  /\ These omnipotent Northern Virginia based bureaucracies produce nothing tangible and consume enormous amounts of the public treasure. Their wage scales are oftentimes twice or three times what the 'forgotten man' in fly-over might hope to make. I have worked among them. They are a closed society which will fight tooth and nail to control their vast empire.

They are feces disturbers and misery merchants on a global scale. They are the plank holders of the Deep State.

Please pray for the Orange Man, that he might prevail and bring and end to this big government malignancy.

#3  Goodbye, FBI, CIA and EPA - someone will miss you but it won't be any of us.

#2  I was shocked to see it, Besoeker. To me this was a platonic ideal item, never to be seen in the real world. But we only will really get it if Donald Trump and the Republicans are reelected.

Just as shocking to me is the report of voter buyer’s remorse. Hopefully that lead to returning to limited mail-in voting and getting rid of early in-person voting options.

#1  If I were 'undecided' or had no other reason for voting for this man, this one would certainly put me over the top. There can be no 'draining of the swamp' without it.
