Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.
