[quote quote=3790]Biden was never vetted by the media. We do not know much about policies he will pursue. If you watched Tucker Carlson last evening, he talked about the views and positions of people so far selected. One wants open borders, one wants to confiscate guns through buybacks, one was instrumental in bringing China into the WTO and wants closer China ties. One thinks flooding the market with immigrants will be desirable even if it creates competition for low wage jobs and lowers wages and drives jobs overseas. Basically, they want to undo many of Trump`s successes, especially in foreign policy by promoting globalization vs. America first and return to the Obama economy. Its what we get for ignorantly electing a ghost, a blank slate, the anti Trump.[/quote]
The good news is that once the blank slate anti Trump ghost passes from the scene (shortly) Kamala Harris will be president and everything will be all better…
BTW, that same blank slate anti Trump ghost is very publicly asking for the unity that his party 100% refused for the last four years. Sounds great to me, Joe. Kiss my @$$, Joe.

George Carlin:
“Political Correctness is Fascism pretending to be manners.”10 comedians who can’t stand political correctness including Konstantin Kisin: “I was born in the Soviet Union, and this made me feel right at home”, Patrice O’Neal, Bill Burr, Steven Fry, Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K., Jeff Ross, Bill Maher, Jim Norton and my favorite from Ricky Gervais “Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.”
I don’t know who said this first, but every time I think about snowflakes, I think of this saying:
“If you met one a$$hole today, well, you met an a$$hole. If you met five a$$holes today, maybe you’re the a$$hole.”
Yes, my misteak:
John Daly describes the golf habits of Slick Willie Clinton and Donald Trump. He’s played with both and opines on both.
Guess which one’s the cheater in John’s eyes?
Two things I think about:
- Other than Biden, no Democrat would have defeated Trump.
- The coronavirus has caused a horrible economy and 230k+ deaths, all on Trump’s watch, and the Dems (rightfully) hammered it into the ground. Without the coronavirus, Trump wins handily, if not a landslide.
Hopefully the left and the right and Fox News understands that. Despite the most obnoxious personality in national politics since (probably) Andrew Jackson, Donald Trump was nearly re-elected. The 70 million who voted for him have an axe to grind, and the Democrats don’t have a mandate. Hopefully, they understand that fact.
Oh, and Rashida Tlaib wants you to understand that those 70 million votes are meaningless, and the majority of the 74 million that Biden received are meaningless. All must bow before the Squabble:

No cities burned. No Republicans looted. No Republicans engaged in violence. No Republicans threatened others.
In other words, situation normal for Republicans. Quite obviously, the violence, threats, hatred, anger lives on the other side. I say that as a registered independent for the past 20 years.
[quote quote=3478]I could make all sorts of cheap shots, but actually that is rather reassuring. It shows that someone is paying attention. In any case, one less vote for the Peace and Freedom Party. I am sure there are irregularities all over the country. How could there not be? Tens of millions of votes cast by fallible people, and received by other fallible people. Wholesale fraud on a scale sufficient to change the outcome? Logistically impossible. I think I’ll do a pre-blog post on that.[/quote]
I’m confused, GR. My California ballot was filled out by me and only me, with choices that are largely conservative. And it was delegitimized, rejected. Please explain to me how that is reassuring? For me, it’s anything but reassuring. Or rather, it is reassuring to me that our system is not legitimate, that my vote doesn’t matter, and that we live under a government that is proto-fascist.
Do a “tweet” shadow government and run again in four years… when we are all confined remind us that you didn’t force us to stay in when unemployment is stuck at 8% remind us that it was at 5.3 pre COVID when Iran fucks with us in the gulf remind us that it never happened when you were prez.
I was thinking along the same lines. I think the next four years are going to be rough, politically. Harris and Biden (yes, in that order), now think they have a mandate because the had THE! MOST! VOTES! EVER! Well, the guy they (arguably) beat had the second most. And despite Biden’s lip service, most of what he’s saying will be to repudiate Trump, not accommodate his voters. It took Clinton a while to figure out that he didn’t have a landslide. We’ll see how long it takes Biden. And that doesn’t even factor into account Plan B-, a President Harris. A very unlikeable person…there was a reason she only got 129 votes in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, and Trump had 1,200 write-in votes and Tulsi Gabbard had nearly 10,000 votes.
And let’s not forget that the Progressives are looming, with their Dolt-In-Chief, AOC, who fundamentally repudiated the help of John Kasich and Republicans who would reach across the aisle:
AOC claims the Dems will lose big in the mid-terms in 2022 if they don’t put Progressives in top Federal seats. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope they do. The disaster that will happen, the discarding of Biden. It’ll be great!
I looooved that Joe Biden brought Hunter Biden on stage with him, a gigantic screw you to people who were concerned about Hunter’s problems (concerns of the Dems, too, BTW). Nothing like flaunting your perfidy in front of a bamboozled American electorate.
One last thing: Despite nearly four years’ worth of invented-from-thin-air impeachment run by Clinton supporters, despite the Elites all backing Biden (and I’m talking the Tech Elite, Media Elite, Wall Street Elite, Left Elite, Right Elite), I hope the Lefties understand one set-in-stone fact: without the once-in-a-century pandemic and Trump’s historic-self-immolation and mismanagement, Trump would have won re-election in a landslide. Think about that as you install your government, Lefties.
GR is right. A wealth tax won’t happen. Too many vested interests to prevent it.
A friend of mine was once talking with the football player Lamichael James about, of all things, hair cuts. James had an off-kilter cut, and was lamenting the fact that he’d used a new stylist who was not very good. James said “That’s one thing that cuts across race, creed, gender, religion and sexual preference…sitting in that chair and knowing you’ll have to hide for a month.”
A new wealth tax that hits at the wealthy would cut across Progressives, Libertarians, moderates, Conservatives, Democrats, Greens and Republicans alike. They will all — all — be against it.
[quote quote=3467]I’ve been voting absentee in California for more than ten years. Lots of Californians do. It’s done on request. The ballot is sent to the voters’ registered address, you mark it, place it in an envelope, sign it, and that’s that. There’s no magic in polling places that immunizes them from fraud. The written, mail-in ballot is in many ways a lot safer and surer. What is happening is in some ways a lot more ominous. A lot of people who would not normally inconvenience themselves going to the polls. By and large, I think they vote Democrat. All of the counts are being observed by dozens of poll watchers of both parties. The slow switch to Biden in Wisconsin and Michigan is accounted for by the heavily urban character of the precincts being counted. I am sure there are fouled ballots and what not, because in an election with tens of millions of ballots cast, that will happen. But wholesale fraud? I doubt it. The sorest loser of all time remains Al Gore. But Trump has joined the club, big time.[/quote]
Maybe. But my absentee ballot in 2018 was discarded because of “irregularities.”
One British bettor just sunk $5 million on a Trump bet. And one of the Brit bookmakers is reporting that 93% of the bets in the last 24 hours are on Trump.

There’s a reason she cut off her campaign on December 3. Donald Trump received, literally, ten times as many votes as a write in during the Democratic primary as Kamala Harris did. She was way behind the other Dems. If Biden had wanted a woman of color as his VP, he should have picked Tulsi Gabbard. Or Pocahontas.
She’s a miserable politician, and actually has a fair amount in common with Hillary Clinton, in terms of interpersonal skills. She gets the “deer in the headlights” look so familiar to Dan Quayle observers, whenever she’s asked a mildly challenging question. She’s tart, standoffish, permanently angry and quite frankly, was a somewhat conservative prosecutor.
And to share a pet peeve, Kamala Harris was the flip side of the #metoo movement. I absolutely understand the motivations behind that movement, I think men who pressure women for sex in the workplace and ruin their careers if they don’t give in are reprehensible. I think they should be buried beneath the prison, to paraphrase Bill Burr. But at the same time, there are women — like Kamala Harris — who benefit from sleeping with powerful men. She received her first two political appointee jobs from the married Willie Brown, who gleefully points out that, not only did he appoint her to two plum positions, but he also gave her a BMW. But no one was allowed to talk about that. The media weren’t allowed to write about that. Where is the feminist outrage? Fxxxing hypocrites.
And she makes sxxt up. The challenge to Joe Biden on four-decades old busing? “I was that little girl, Senator.” No you weren’t. Her statement on Lincoln and supreme court justices was complete BS.
She’s not cut out to be President. I wouldn’t elect her Mayor of a mid-sized town. And she’ll probably be the American President at some point.
[quote quote=3260]N Carolina and Philadelphia are the focus tonight with unsolicited ballot mailings despite a SCOTUS ruling that reined in N Carolina Dems. Nevada may be lost already because they have made the decision to NOT match signatures to mail in ballots after the unsolicited mailing of ballots. California has up to 17 days to count mail in ballots after the election. Your stomach may be more accurate than the truth. This election could very well be stolen unless people wake up and realize Harris is unqualified and a radical and Biden is a stalking horse for another coup which may end up being legal event of using the Constitution to destroy the Constitution. Trump may have to win big. (BTW, the highlight of my day was watching Elizabeth Warren give a speech where she said confirming ACB was unethical because Ginsberg`s last wish should have been granted. Just curious; maybe GR can point out where the last wish of Ginsberg is in the Constitution.)[/quote]
It’s funny, when people think about mail in voter fraud, they think about representatives of one political party adding votes through ballots that they unlawfully procure and fill out. My experience in the last election was exactly the opposite. I received an email about a week after the election that my mail-in ballot was not being counted because of “irregularities.”
They said my signature didn’t match. Huh. I signed it, was the same image I’ve always used. I’m left to conclude that they didn’t like my vote, and therefore it didn’t count.
