BTW: I definitely think he’s going to cheat. If he wins his second term it’s not at all going to be because it was done legitimately. I definitely think he’s planning to skew the election. I think that’s already been underway for a while. I think he’s going to use Covid as an excuse, and the voting ability is not going to be made available…[Read more]
