This has been a hell of a day.
It’s bed time but I just want to comment. What I have to comment cannot be covered searching thru a bunch of disparate threads.
Maybe I’ll be banned for my opinions, as I’ve been banned on NextDoor and threatened on Facebook by liberals. I’m sure I’ll be pilloried regardless. But I’m used to being pilloried by liberals where I live because conservatives like me are rare. So what the hell. I’m accused of being an evil Repub by liberals and a Dem saboteur by FR conservatives. Can’t win.
Reagan had it easy, following up Jimmy Carter. Reagan was no outsider, a politician of many years. Anyone who attacked the establishment was going to be like Trump and was going to be attacked relentlessly. If not Trump, it would have been another straight-talker whom the Left and RINOs found offensive.

Well, I rest my case. I’m well aware how hated I’ll be for it and pilloried on FR. God forbid I don’t have exactly the right view. Just like any other liberal place. And no “discussion”, either. Just name-calling and foul words.
My sympathies for your loss.
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, we did not decline to retaliate because “we are better than they.”
The left made a sneak attack on the foundation of our Republic: the integrity of the vote.
The Chinese made a sneak attack on our people with covid-19. The left attacked our police and our cities, rendering one helpless to protect the other.
They have made a mockery of the law. And they’re just getting started.
This is all far worse than Pearl Harbor. So no, we’d better not be “better than they” if we want to survive.
All I am seeing right now is the “fog of war”.
There was one great post (in a thread recently deleted) that raised the issue of whether President Trump controls the military tonight.
Not—what does the org chart say—but rather what the reality is.
I have no clue what the answer is, and I don’t think anyone else around here does either.
It was the Reichstag Fire.
Rebel:
Time for a chill pill.
In the real world some people will like you, others will not.
No big deal.
Chin up and carry on...and sorry for your loss btw.
I think you are missing what Trump’s greatest accomplishment has been, opening everyone’s eyes to what a traitorous, backstabbing, two-faced mob of scum the so called ruling class in D.C. are, and how they are bleeding us productive citizens dry to support their insatiable appetite for power ...
somebody is trying to get the 25th amendment invoked in the cabinet as per april ryan..could be a military member.
The label “mostly peaceful protest” only goes for Democrats.
The last few months have been insane beyond belief.
Yeah—I saw that...(25th amendment talk)
Crazy moment for sure.
The closest I can remember to this is W’s airplane on 911—when nobody knew _what_ was going on....
Why these presumptions?
I for one do not hate you.
Sympathy on losing your MIL. I read your earlier post asking for prayers. I’m sure a rough day for you and your husband.
But, can’t have a landslide when the Dems steal elections. Trump’s vote was beyond his 2016 win. Enthusiasm was sky high for him. Did you attend a rally? I did. Ballot harvesting, fake ballots, moving ballets in, manipulating the votes going into Dominion machines, changing who the vote was for, and more means going forward no election is safe. Trump,voters came out big but fraud came in bigger.
And when we fought back, like the libs, it was a collective slap down from all of the DC swamp, the corrupt media and corporate America. Trump is the hill.
well..it just got crazier....
L Lin Wood put up some more insanity on Parler
maybe part of it is true..like Trump is in Texas...but the rest of it???????
No hate, but think we live in different realities if you think Trump’s comments about today’s events weren’t good enough.
Those who generate anxiety in you and promise that they have the solution are grifters. See: politicians.
Despair is a sin. I’m so sorry to hear of your MIL’s passing, I was praying for her. I don’t think people view Trump as a King, but as someone who loves his country as we do.
I’m sorry about your hard time and the loss of a relative.
Reagan had finesse, especially for us mesmerized Howdy Doody fans. But he also pushed us further down the import regime road to the Chinese Empire (just ahead) while calling our manufacturing jobs “dead end jobs” and trying to sell us on a service economy (slavery, see world tourist dump). Radical social liberals continued to run amok in all levels of education. The pork for breaking families and marriage continued to pour into states and counties.
We cannot go on with that. It’s a broken machine. Balance of payments deficits in trade lead to increasing piles of debt. When the bond collapse and vicious circle arrive, that’s going to hurt (see Venezuela, Argentina, others).
The bottom line is, if not Trump, then who?
