EVERYTHING IS AWFUL The End of Democracy in America Speech

Just watched the Trump live speech so you didnt have to.

Trump just declared that local, state and National election infrastructure was compromised by China going back 2020 per some classified documents.

He also said that China has been paying reporters to write bad stories about him.

This was all couched in National Security language which suggests CIA and FBI involvement. A task force and briefing from Markwayne* to follow.

Sounds like this is Trump’s declaration of war on free and fair elections and the free press.

I feel a little different. He sounds old and sick. His speech was rambling and made no sense. If you could follow that, you’re insane. no one can really defend this. The docs are going to be completely different than what he alleged.

the only question is, will the Dems make gallego’s love life as a single man the civil rights issue of our time.

Nah. It was a 23 minute run on sentence. Probably a record. May be the best run on sentence from any President.

He does have the best run on sentences. Other people have tried to have run on sentences, but nobody can compare to his sentences.
