Seriously who the hell needs Russia, when you have Democrats, MSM, Facebook, Twitter and Google conspiring to shutdown the conservative voice & directly interfere in the USA elections. I have never seen such blatant attacks on 1st amendment rights of free speech. Shame on you all

Hahaha... Let them hack hard into the election! If the US can't guarantee the security of just an election, their system might as well be hacked.

Is There A Chance The Winner In 2020 Will Be Able To Credibly Claim A Mandate?There’s already widespread concern about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. Mail-in ballots and ballot counting have become the subject of partisa… This is all bullshit. This is America. A democratic republic not an authoritarian or dictatorship regime. We have a constitution, an election and a deadline for a sitting president to leave office upon losing. So screw “peaceful” this or that. If he loses & won’t leave: REMOVEHIM At this point, I don't think it even matters who actually wins. Both sides will claim they won. The public will only believe who they want to believe. The Congress or the Supreme Court will settle it, and whoever loses will cry foul. The next day, we'll get distracted again.
