The country is deep trouble

We've had this discussion before.  An election has to be close in order to be stolen.  You'll never convince me Kari Lake legitimately lost (still being counted), but I have no problem believing a combination of ignorant chuds and Marxist drones put a stroke victim in the Senate, or somehow re-elected Gretchen Whitmer and the abominable Kathy Hochul.  Apparently people like getting raped and assaulted while taking the subway.  Of course there's cheating going on, but many of these races shouldn't have even been close.

On the bright side, the GOP wouldn't have done jack shit with a large majority either, so maybe it's best that the Dems spend another 2 years running the country into the ground without token opposition.  Certainly the results are partially on McConnell and McCarthy.  Trump likely cost himself the nomination as well, as he flails around while Ron DeSantis makes Florida look as red as Idaho.  New leadership is needed all around.

The bottom line is: maybe we aren't suffering enough yet.  People get what they vote for, and they deserve every bit of it.  I just hope Florida decides to secede and stop letting people in here. 

Moving here was the best decision I ever made.   


    

Half the country is tribal and incapable of independent thought and they're responsible for the pain all of us are feeling.  Their capacity for voluntary ignorance allows the Democrats to accomplish the cheating they do in plain sight.  The majority of Republicans offer no resistance beyond for-show hysteria.  We're living in the decline of a political system that's responsible for elevating the standard of living of 75% of the world's population and it not only angers me, it breaks my heart.

You already know I don't have near the level of vitriol for Trump that you do, Mike, but I agree he has to step aside for the good of the country.  Taking a shot at DeSantis was boorish and dumb.  I've heard several people say they think abortion was not the reason Republicans didn't have a red wave, J6 was, especially for suburban independents.  The man was very successful in elevating the country and the lives of all Americans, but he was equally responsible for the election of the worst president we've ever had, whether we believe it was a fixed election or not.

I don't care if he continues to hold his MAGA rallies because I think a lot of what he says needs saying, but not by POTUS.  Let him take fire while a sane, diplomatic and articulate leader resurrects America and leads the world against globalism.

Honestly, is this Chelsea Clinton pretending to be a guy from NE Philly?  The way you talk about the guy could land you a show on MSNBC.  Imagine if our side ever went after our actual opponents with such vigor?

First, I don't remember polls ever being so completely wrong - in some states.  In Florida you have to show ID to vote, and even when requesting a mail-in ballot, you have to provide a license number, last 4 of your SS, or Florida ID number.  DeSantis won by 20%.  In Arizona, it's almost a running gag that Maricopa County is going to have issues.  The head of Pima County elections is a Communist activist.  As a result, Kari Lake will likely have her election stolen.  It's about to happen with the Nevada Senate race too.  They used covid for a complete upheaval of our electoral process in a way that obviously benefits them, and is almost impossible to prove without a complete audit, which they will never allow because they've won elections in such states and now control said elections.  And that was all done on Trump's watch.....so yeah, that's my major beef with him and he deserves every bit of it.  How many ballots are dumped at the last minute that weren't from the actual people they were mailed to?  You tell me.  But I have a hard time believing that someone who was up 2 points in the polls, and was leading with 95% of the vote counted, is now losing the mail-in tallies 2 to 1, like in Nevada.

Trump's biggest screw-up in this cycle was Dr. Oz.  I'm pretty sure we can all agree on that.  But most of his other high-profile candidate endorsements were excellent.  Even if Blake Masters and Kari Lake weren't elected (cheating or no, it has to be close to be stolen), people like them are the future.  Maybe we just truly aren't suffering enough to vote for republicans who are actually fully intent on challenging The System.  As for single women, I see that stat floating around in an attempt to make the election about abortion, but that's ridiculous.  Bitter feminists and trollops who can't land a husband are the Democratic Party's largest voting bloc outside of blacks.  By policy they essentially promise the govt. to be your husband. 

I welcome a ferocious primary.  I want a knockdown, drag-out fight between pissed off patriots trying to earn my vote by out-promising each other on all the outrageous things they're going to do to the criminals running our country into the ground.  DeSantis can take his sweet time.  Trump will doom himself if he doesn't play the next 2 months right.  And there will be others.  Let it happen.

And for the last time, nobody who doesn't already hate Trump gives a flying fuck about Mike Pence or January 6th.  I'm glad they were scared.  They aren't scared enough.           
    

NV just called for the Dems.

Down 50-49 without GA.

Lake down by 1.4%

He's never been "my guy."  I only pointed out that you have an irrational hatred of the man that would land you a job at CNN or MSNBC.  

The mail-in ballots just cost us another Senate seat.  What are Republicans going to do about it?  Nothing, as always.  Are you going to demand to see an audit of voters in Arizona and Nevada?  Or are you still harping about a private citizen's tax returns?

And why?  Why do you claim to be a conservative, yet save all your energy to trash the one person who has actually won a victory in the last 20 years?  Has he personally hurt you?  Come out with it already.













  

From a state that re-elected a dead man, and elected Fetterman:

Cut ties indeed.

That’s the jist of it. Only to add that I followed up and checked with other business owners that did significant business in AC and they said the same thing.

FWIW, they also said he didn’t have much money.

“ I’ll give you 10%, because let’s face it, my lawyers are better than your lawyers.” Nice.

BTW, the people I checked with were hardcore Republicans if that matters.

My enthusiasm for a businessman possibly getting to the White House died then.

But he had some good policies.

Rock solid contracts mean nothing, especially when the bankruptcy hounds were howling. What did he have six of them?

You need a good lawyer and enough funds to outlast his lawyers. No small medium sized contractors can do that. He’s a professional at it.

I liked he challenged the system.

I smiled when he won in 2016 just to stick it to the system and see the Dems freak out.

Even my biggest nightmares of his character flaws would not have us where we are now.

Maybe he’ll surprise us and be gracious and help build the Party post Trump. I doubt it because all he has after the limelight is losing lawsuits, financial ruin and public embarrassment. He needs the limelight, he needs the attention because it’s all about him.

Maybe he’ll surprise me.

When I walked into Trumps casino that day, I was very much hoping that Trump would run for President. I was looking forward to a business man running and winning. I didn’t know much about his issues. All the info I learned was after going there. Funny thing is, I started the conversation by saying to the dealer, “ So it looks like your old boss is going to run for President.” The guy didn’t hide his displeasure and the other guys chimed in from there.

Strange but true..

I know it sounds wacky.

Zero, now One, can attest to me telling him this story before the shit hit the fan with Trump.

I probably wouldn’t believe it but it’s the truth.

You could probably research his reputation in AC and find similar stories, dated back to the early days.

It doesn’t matter. There seems to be nothing he could do to change your mind.

A graceful exit helping the Party would help change mine.

Don't project onto me.  Indisputable truths change my mind, without fail.  You're the one who has written a small novel of hatred for the guy.  I'm simply pointing out that when he runs for office as an outsider, and then suddenly all these eerie stories come out (and all from people on the same side of the political aisle), it doesn't move me.  Nor does a third-party anecdote coming from someone you met once at a poker table.  It sounds wacky because it is.

If he campaigned on behalf of DeSantis they would be unstoppable.  He won't.  He might even avoid campaigning for Herschel Walker since DeSantis and Kemp are.  That's what I don't like about him.  But none of this matters at all as long as a few counties around the country can keep screwing with our elections.

So who’s in for Trump to go all in for the Republican nomination?

Not me.

Robbie yes.

One no?

Did I tally correctly?

Anyone else?

Dems out there? He’ll yes.

We let it happen and we're letting it happen again.  I don't suggest we do what the progressives do - loot, burn and kill - but someone needs to organize rallies in Washington, every state capitol, and every major city in the country and keep doing it.  We need to protest the absence of legitimate investigations of election manipulation and inundate the airwaves with evidence that needs to be looked at.  We need to expose the dishonest media to honest citizens who trust and believe them.

And it's not only the election but the shenanigans that led up to the election.  We're probably the only country in Western civilization that allows mail-in voting to the extent that we do.  With all of the bullshit we've all seen from voting machines we need to revert back to manual ballots and tabulation and force our states to make it law to have ballots counted within a pre-determined time frame.  At the risk of being labeled a racist for this analogy, honest people have to refuse to sit in the back of the bus and use separate drinking fountains.  Honest people, regardless of party affiliation, are being openly abused and delegitimized by the Democrat-communists who are taking over our country.

I don't trust McCarthy and whoever is the Majority Leader in the Senate to do what needs to be done.  The rally on January 6 was a start, but nobody realized it was a set-up until it was too late.  Forewarned and prepared for that, we need to repeat those rallies until everyone realizes the majority of Americans are demanding changes.  A Constitutional Convention is needed to set term limits and disassemble the administrative state.

This is the revolution we need.

I saw this interesting stat in an article last week:

61% of Republicans do not believe Trump lost in 2020.
72% of Democrats do not believe that Hillary lost in 2016.

Point was, the original election deniers, and most rampant, are the Dems. But, you don’t hear about that much.
