Trump is planning to declare victory at midnight Nov 3rd based upon the early results that won’t include vote by mail ballots. Then he’ll urge his militia supporters to burn the remaining uncounted ballots. That’s the #TrumpCoupPlot and he’s basically fessed up to it already.
Trump’s scheme to get Republican legislatures to appoint Trump electors to the Electoral College will be a tough sell if it’s in defiance of the voters. But if his militia supporters can spoil or destroy enough ballots to call the entire vote tally into question it might work.
Ballot security and chain of custody of ballot boxes will be extremely important. But our best bet to avoid chaos is to be ahead in the vote tallies by midnight Nov 3, which means early voting in-person if you can.
This all sounds crazy, but we need to at least contemplate the possibility that Trump is crazy, as in narcissistic and incapable of accepting defeat.
It’s doubtful that even Trump appointed judges or military leaders would go along with a #TrumpCoupPlot but it wouldn’t take that many white supremacist militia types to spoil/burn/destroy hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots in places like Detroit, Philadelphia, etc.
This is not a drill but it doesn’t have to be a crisis. We can prevent a #TrumpCoupPlot by voting early and in-person if you can and working as poll workers to ensure smooth voting on Nov 3.
When the president of the United States says he will GET RID OF THE BALLOTS for his opponent it is not alarmist to sound the alarm.

America, and the whole world, would have been a different and better place had Bill Clinton resigned and Al Gore become president.
There’d have been no Bush v Gore, which destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court.
There’d have been no Iraq war.

Chris Wallace has to come to terms with the fact that Trump Inc plans to launch a competitor to Fox if he’s unelected. Therefore Fox has a profit incentive to keep Trump in office so as to avoid competition.
So Fox will either shut Chris Wallace down if they think Trump will win, or amplify him if they think Trump’s toast and they should angle for the smaller slice of conservative neverTrump viewers.
The same Fox News/Murdoch vs OANN/Trump Inc media market share battle applies to Ann Coulter and Chris Wallace. The fact that Fox is unmuzzling them both means Fox thinks Trump will lose and start competing with Fox in the inanity market segment.

A health insurance company started by Jared Kushner's brother is offering testing for Coronavirus as well as an online testing center locator hioscar.com/blog/oscar-lau…
The investors of the boutique insurance company, Oscar, which is run by Kusher's brother and is doing coronovirus testing, include Peter Theil and google parent company Alphabet cnbc.com/2018/08/14/alp…
So, when Trump says "google" will be offering an on-line tool telling you if and where you should be tested for coronavirus, he could be referring to Kushner's brothers company rawstory.com/2020/03/heres-…

So, based on Cohen testimony, can Americans agree:

1) Parts of Steele Dossier (like Cohen in Prague) are probably false, but

Trump lied about "no deals with Russia" and knew that both Cohen and Trump Jr lied about Trump Tower Moscow negotiations to Congress.
2) Scandalous rumors about Trump [physically abusing Melania are probably false but,

Trump told Cohen to lie to Melania about hush fund payments to Stormy Daniels
3) Trump's taxes may not reveal that he's laundered money for Russian mobsters but

Cohen thinks Trump's not under audit and is hiding the fact that he's underpaid his taxes

Waiting for Mueller Has Become a Dereliction of Duty. The House Must Hold Impeachment Hearings Even if Senate Republicans Might Not Convict Trump #SundayThoughts
mavenroundtable.io/thepeoplesrule…
1) The inconvenient truth for Democrats is that, like it or not, Congress has a constitutional obligation to conduct impeachment hearings that provide a public trial over Donald Trump’s abuse of power and high crimes against the country.
2) Democrats rightly worry that they will lose public support and appear vindictive for impeaching a member of the opposing party, much the way Republican disapproval ratings soared after their 1998 impeachment of Bill Clinton.
