The Depths of Depravity - Ensure your vote counts--added and edited

 In Texas a Biden campaign bus was surrounded, harassed and attempted to be run off the 

road with an event cancelled; the Texas governor pulled drop off boxes and placed only one

 in a heavily minority and democratic area.

In North Carolina parents and children are pepper sprayed during a peaceful march.

In Pennsylvania Republicans are trying to suppress the minority vote and to the extent they cannot they are trying to get the votes tabulated as late as possible. The goal is to try to count the votes until later of Democrats who have voted in huge numbers so Republicans can delay the election and to throw out votes of probable Democrats any way Republicans can.  Indeed Republicans would like to keep Democrats from voting at all.

I am not doubting that Biden would win if (a big if) the votes are counted fairly and legally but because the liar-in-chief Trump does not care about that and only cares about his showing a win he will do anything ... anything ... including voter suppression, lying and cheating like dumping post office sorting machines by his Republican contributor lackey, DeJoy, appointed by Trump as so called "Postmaster General," to ensure a win by any surreptitious means necessary.

This is a man who paid someone to take his college boards because he knew he was not that bright! Trump is a mendacious, unethical and inhumane deplorable man.  He is killing hundreds by having maskless rallies and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of American COVID deaths by not taking the virus seriously.  He knew COVID was a huge viral threat deadlier than the flu as Bob Woodward in his book "Rage" caught him on tape saying so. Because he wanted his numbers to look good he did not care about the deaths and said to hell with the numbers. He wanted the numbers suppressed and to that end he would lie, do and say all that could to make him look good.  It was not the American public panicking that was his worry but rather it was Trump panicking so much so he would say anything, including lie, about it to show the numbers were low when they were high.  No testing for him as the tests would reveal the truth about the high numbers of Americans infected with the virus and still counting.  His actions surrounding COVID have been unconscionable because Trump has no conscience and to the extent he cares about anything he cares about only himself.

To show the depths of Trumpian depravity he -- if one can believe this -- said that the doctors treating patients for COVID profit from their deaths.  That should be deemed illegal but even he is Constitutionally covered by free speech even if it is mendacious speech.  One cannot yell fire in a crowded theater said Oliver Wendall Homes in the 1919 SCOTUS decision Schenck v. United States, as some speech cannot be free when it is a clear and present danger  endangering the lives of many. One wonders if a president lies about an uber contagious virus that kills should he not be held to account and punished for his lies?  The depths of the human depravity of Trump can not be underestimated. 

Vote blue in person November 3 arriving early where you vote or better still by depositing a ballot in a designated drop off box.  Do it NOW before November 3 and to ensure your vote counts.
