The Election Is NOT Rigged

Dear Friends,

I was going to write a different post this morning. It was going to be a post about Mike Pence, and how he is either the world's dumbest man or completely disingenuous.

He'd better be praying it's the former. Because if it's the latter, his prayers won't matter. Liars can't be Christians, and vice versa. And we know how much Pence values being a Christian.

Friday morning, Pence incredulously said that while he respected our First Lady, he couldn't "understand" why his running mate's self-admitted and widely corroborated history of sexually assaulting women upsets her--in her own words--"to the core."

This is either the dumbest man on the planet, or the most disingenuous.
Take your pick. Neither makes for a very good Christian.

Then, Pence assured us on Friday morning that irrefutable evidence discrediting the now 11 women who've come forward (two more than the media is reporting) is on its way--probably "within hours."

How many hundred hours? We're still waiting for it--along with Trump's tax returns.

Trump's only defense has been that it's all a giant media conspiracy and international banking cabal victimizing him (another of Trump's anti-Semitic dog whistles).

Poor bubbie.

One thing I can tell you for certain. As a lifelong journalist, I can guarantee that journalism is a straight up profession, and we don't conspire. The explanation for the apparent Trump pile-on is that those of us with any grip on reality pretty much see things the same way.

And Trump does something to steer the narrative almost every day. He is a crazy-maker, and that's an existential threat when you're on the stage of international politics.

He is also a clear and present danger.

Calling the American election process "rigged," as he has been doing on the stump, is a complete lie.

There is some evidence of petty voting fraud in a handful of precincts around the country. But for Trump to use this petard to stir up a group of his supporters, who he knows are on the verge of violence, is inexcusable and probably illegal..

Mr. Pence had to calm one down the other night who said she's ready to rumble (with real guns).

Trump is responsible for this woman. He is inciting his followers to violence if the election doesn't go his way. And he knows it.

He is evil, and I don't use this term loosely because you don't see true evil often.

Donald Trump's obligation as a loyal citizen is to accept the results of our presidential election and honor the smooth transition of power. That is what makes this country great.

Short of that, he is a traitor and should be treated as such.
