      Obviously, the biggest Election Day loser will either be President Trump or Joe Biden, depending on who ultimately wins the presidential election, and the second biggest loser will be congressional Democrats, who lost seats in the House and failed to retake the Senate majority, but another major loser –without any question — is disgraced Fox News.
      The bottom is falling out of Fox’s reputation, and there are reports that the once-respected outlet is suffering in the ratings. None of this should surprise anyone, especially with the countless botched calls and outright lies still being uncovered during the dumpster fire that was Fox’s Election Night coverage.

      “The Fox News Decision Desk can project Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives and expand their majority by at least five seats. That’s a major boost for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has pledged to roll back much of President Trump’s first term agenda if he loses reelection. … There have been projections that Democrats could pick up as many as fifteen seats.”

      Of course, nothing of the kind happened. The House counts are a little different everywhere, but it looks like Democrats may have somewhere between 6 and 10 House seats, and could lose as many as 15.

      By the way, did you notice how I couched and caveated the above sentence? Did you notice how I informed you that the “counts are a little different everywhere” and used words like “looks” and phrases like “as many”?

      You want to know why I did that? Because I’m not like the people at Fox News. I’m not here to mislead you, to pose as some kind of authority when we still don’t know. You see, my integrity means something to me. And I have respect for the Breitbart News audience, which means I don’t lie to you; I don’t tell you things that are untrue.

      I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m not Fox News.

      That’s how this is supposed to work — we’re supposed to tell you what we know, what we don’t know… But there were the proven liars at Fox News arrogantly lying once again to benefit Democrats who will never stop hating them.

      Fox News lied to you with its rigged polls.

      Fox News lied to you by calling Arizona early when it took eight days to call the state — and is going to an almost certain recount.

      Fox News lied to you when it accused Trump of not condemning white supremacists.

      Fox News censors content Fox News doesn’t want you to hear.

      Fox News lied to you when it accused Trump of causing the interruptions in the first presidential debate.

      Fox News rigged the first presidential debate.

      Fox News lied to you about waiting for a “certified” winner before declaring Joe Biden “president-elect.”

      And here’s Fox News smugly lying to its sucker viewers about Pelosi dominating on Election Night, when the truth is she took a humiliating beating.

      Oh, and I have not even gotten to the worst yet.

      It took these Fox News liars eight days to retract that lie. It was only yesterday, eight days after Fox News knew it had lied, that Fox News finally retracted it — and that was only after Bret Baier was shamed into it on Twitter.

      Fortunately, I missed most of election night, sitting in two parking lots while my daughter practiced water polo. . . .

      Since that night, I’ve heard a ton of commentary on Fox about the beating Pelosi took, and the calls from the moderates for her replacement. . . .

      As for the first debate, can’t argue regarding your comments regarding Wallace. A total hit job on Trump.

      This post has disappeared twice due to the spam filter not liking the number of links in it.

          Actually I have tried to find that setting. Best I have done is set it as loose as possible. It seems to only choke when a string of links is posted.

      Trump manages to go 100% on sooner or later turning on everyone who ever backed him.

      I wonder when the bubble will pop and you’ll get wise to the nasty personality cult you’ve joined. He was a spoiled narcissistic billionaire five years ago and he is exactly the same man today.

      I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

      I knew he was a spoiled, narcissistic asshole when I voted for him rather than Hillary.  He got my vote primarily due to the list of Supreme Court candidates he promised to appoint if given the opportunity.  Other than that, I was voting to avoid the corruption of the Clintons.

      I was greatly surprised and pleased when Trump effected tax change that dramatically changed the trajectory of economic growth, when he renegotiated the NAFTA agreement to reflect more appropriately the benefits brought to that arrangement by the U.S., when he worked with several Middle East countries to overcome their past refusal to recognize Isreal, when he extricated U.S. from the fraudulent Paris Peace Accord, when he told Iran to take a hike and ratcheted up sanctions, when he stopped ISIS and shrank them to a non-threat, when he killed several pivotal terrorist leaders (Solimani and others), and a list of other achievements that enhanced his support from black and Hispanic voters significantly.  I voted for him this time because Joe Biden is a fraud.  He is a disgusting hack politician who has never taken a courageous position in his life and has been wrong in every major position that he has taken over his 47-year career.

      It is the fragile, too-noble Never Trump voters who can’t really explain their hatred in other than personal terms and certainly cannot justify a vote for Biden, which will hand control of our government over to a radical group of socialists who want to direct all of our individual actions based upon group identity.

        Tour de force!  He is precisely what is needed in DC at this particular time.

        GR’s redundant cult of personality assertion, narcissistic, preceded Trump in DC. The only difference is they foolishly believe no one sees them for what they are. They were waiting to  oppose Trump. The clowns only enjoy the image in the mirror. Don’t much care for sitting across the table in a discussion and being revealed.
        -Pelosi

        -Obama

        -Schiff

        -Nadler

        -McCain

        -AOC

        No narcissists there!  It’s just that they think politics is a career and were broke or from inherited wealth before they went into public service. GR, like your wealth tax, this Cult of Personality shit is ready for your Emily Lutela exit.

      GR`s opinion may be the winning one in this election.  He absolutely captured in his above post the attitude and perception of many if not most who voted for Biden.  In the same vein, Cornfed captured exactly the “realist” in me as he was totally spot on.

      I voted for Trump not because he is my buddy or role model but because his policies were the best conceived and most successful of any President since Reagan.  GR voted against Trump because of his personality while ignoring the superiority on steroids of his policies vs. any Dem, especially Biden.  Each of us captured over 70 million votes.  I ignored Trump’s personality to obtain his perspective; GR did the opposite.

      Forgetting the obvious fraud and everything else, the odds are great that Biden will succeed Trump.  I wonder what the 70 million plus Genuine Realists will feel like a year or two down the road when Trump’s success is mitigated by a return to the failed Obama/Biden and Sanders policies on the economy, foreign policy and social change.  I know what the 70 million Cornfeds will feel like. Was it best to rid ourselves of Trump’s vision for the Biden vision only because we preferred Obama’s type of narcissism vs. Trump’s?  For me it is tantamount to the proverbial throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

      I daresay many Genuine Realists will someday be sorry whether they admit it or not.  Whether our own GR is among them is doubtful because his pension, savings and age makes him immune to the suffering working class people will endure when once more their jobs are outsourced to China and they have to compete with millions of new illegal immigrants. (That is why corporate and tech America supported Biden) We do know the Cornfeds and 17’s will be disgusted and heartbroken at what the US may look like in a few years with the morality of a lower tier 3rd world country and open borders.  As Captain Robert Lewis once noted as he watched a nuclear bomb explode over Hiroshima, “my God, what have we done?”

      Only an atomic bomb of our own in the election of the Georgia Republican senators and in the 2022 and 2024 elections if the progressives overplay their hand in conjunction with a return to pre-covid election practices including mail in balloting could save us.  Maybe.  I can only hope the “I got mine”, “I hate Trump”, “screw the middle class and average American because Trump is a jerk” voter has a come to Jesus moment when they are not safe in the streets and their kids and grand kids turn on them for their selfishness and arrogance.

      Rocky, dems will do what they always do- blame someone else for policies that don’t work. 3 years from now when the economy is still in the crapper, dems will blame Trump.  When there are 150k a month marching across the southern border, they will blame Trump.  When the Green New Deal doesn’t work out, they will blame Trump.

      Dems have their whipping boy.  And for the next couple of years, they will be able to blame the Senate, casting Republicans as obstructionists.

      The stage is set…..
