What Do We Do with a Pretend President?
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jan, 2021 | Donald N. Finley

Posted on 01/17/2021 5:27:36 AM PST by MtnClimber

Joe Biden may ask for unity, but it's not at all different from a thief asking his victims to agree to let him keep what he's already taken.

I was struck by David Atwood's "The Right will Neither Forgive nor Forget." It struck close to home because I'm a boycotter. It takes a lot to get me to such a point, but if someone goes through the effort to do so, it sets in hard and deep.

I've never been an NFL fan. I played baseball. But I knew I was in the minority, so I watched the Super Bowl every year and tried to be somewhat conversant in the game highlights I'd watch on the news. Many of my friends were rabid fans and would have weekend get-togethers to watch a game. This was throughout most of my adulthood and working career in the Air Force. Then Colin Kaepernick came along and disrespected my flag, and the NFL let him get away with it. And then a clothing brand built an advertising campaign around him, paying him to disrespect my flag. I no longer watch the Super Bowl, or the game highlights, and I never buy that brand of clothing. There's also a pizza chain, an American auto maker, and one food company I boycott. That was it. Until now.

SNIP

My political coming of age was in the Clinton years, and I was surrounded by men and women who loathed him, so much so that Air Force leadership issued a memo emphasizing our prohibition from criticizing the commander in chief. He was in the news daily for some scandal or moral failing, and he abused the military, which impacted me and my family.

I thought the Examiner were never-Trumpers early on. Werent they the ones who initially hired Steele to dig up dirt on Trump?

Joe is compromised. He can be removed at will or forced to resign. He can also be controlled with the threat of removal.

T I didn't know that, and for quite a few months, I never would have suspected it.

The American Thinker surrender was not about facts. It was about survival. Have a problem with anything AT has published? So they are only 99%, lets toss them overboard.

Good job. Now conservative media is minus one and they are small to begin with.

As an aside, do you still click on links to MARXIST media? They thank you for your support. How about cable tv? Sending a check to MARXIST media channels? They thank you for your support.

But let’s boycott AT.

“And China has won without firing a shot.”


Releasing the Wuhan Virus kind of constitutes a firing a shot.

I know what you’re saying Girl. That Biden will be trying to get to Beijing for safe haven. 🤞

There is nowhere for Joe to run. He’s toast. The smooth transition has already happened. We are under martial law right now it just hasn’t been formally announced yet.

Biden will likely not be coming back to DC. His people have smelled a rat by now.

Sorry but I think you need to get a grip of reality. Biden WILL be sworn, barring a freak of nature, and the sooner you come to that realization the better you’ll be prepared for what’s coming next. This is the time to regroup and gather our forces/ allies. The last battle (11/3/20) was lost but the war is NOT over nor lost! We need to learn from our bad experience and that is that we’re dealing with an enemy (the Left and all their Socialist allies EVERYWHERE and the treasonous DEM/GOP) that is willing to win at ALL COSTS! We can’t continue to be on the defensive......our time will come again and God willing - soon!

And the thing is, when they find out Biden really was sworn in, and is President, who will be the object of their scorn? Trump!

Open your eyes, look around, what do you see? 26,000 troops occupying Washington DC. Nobody is coming there. Its a ghost town. There isn’t going to be an inauguration. Even Joe Biden knows it.

There are better places to boycott.

The money quote is the last sentence:

“As for unity...we 80 million Trump supporters have plenty of that.”

Boycott everything. Slowdown the flow of money into all these woke corporations.

I was a big NHL and MLB canceled both viewing packages that I’ve had for over 10 years. Won’t watch another professional sports game until there’s..cough, cough, no more racism in America.

My Twitter, FB and Instagram my deactivated. Never an Apple fanboy. Working on minimizing all google services. Checking all other options before buying from Amazon.

Of social media for about 5 months now. Now I’m healthier and happier.

Again don’t feed the monster!

I got one of my last Facebook bans (before deleting my account on Dec 31) for posting that meme.

Evidently, the tiny swastika on the helmet is verboten.

The troops are there to intimidate the Right! Don’t think for a minute that the “Establishment (both parties)” as well as the Globalists are not prepared by sending a clear message to the 2nd Amend/ Gun owning/ Nationalists/ Patriotic people on the Right in the US that they are ready, willing, and able to use the US Military against its own citizens if need be! It’s all about intimidation. That’s why they’re so eagerly calling Trump supporters “Domestic Terrorists”! The one thing about the Left is that they actually telegraph their intentions through code words and signals. Trust me- the show of force in DC is all about that! Our side better wake up and start preparing for what’s coming......
