It is not four months.

Early voting is mid/late Sept. The GOP needs to jump on that. Early votes are “in the bank”.

All such talk is truly beyond the pale!

Eason is in prison. Bannon is in prison. Guiliani has lost his license to practice law in New York. Hundreds of thousands of conservative voices are kicked to the curb monthly by Administration-compliant social media puppets.

Doctors and pharmacists inclined to use COVID therapeutics--entirely legally--have lost their jobs and even credentials merely because they differed with the likes of Fauci. Our children have nearly suffocated from useless masks and been banished from learning in the classrooms, being foisted lesser, untried, coarse learning materials. The LEFT has taught those children how to fear under ad hoc authoritarian mandates.

Taxpayers have been saddled with needlessly paying off the merely vax hesitant who were shamefully thrown out of their jobs by leftist government minions.

Conservative attendees in DC--who never even set foot on Capitol on J6 have been viciously and unlawfully set upon by 6am raids from SWAT teams, robbed of their wealth (given to legal process and lawyers) and as they've been incarcerated, sometimes with more than 20-year sentences!

The left projects its own actions by saying that editorials not completely favorable to Biden create "undue influence" and "election interference."

All Christians--and even Jews--should understand that the LEFT is moving swiftly to eliminate them from the public sphere.

The LEFT encompasses all the authoritarian fascism that's been going on and it is the LEFT's Alinskyite projection to exercise its false projections onto people from the right.

Absolutely spot on. I have not detailed what has happened to me in life for several reasons. In job after job for more than 40 YEARS, I have been attacked by liberal leftist Democrats who have often cost me the job. If you've been able to keep your job among these type of people, YOU COMPROMISED OR HID YOUR VALUES TO SURVIVE IN THE JOB. If you want to know why someone develops an intense dislike for a group of people, there you have it. If WE, as conservatives, were to do that to someone, that person affected would kill people over that. Our Christian values prevent us from doing that. THEY ARE SUCH LIARS in every way.

In civics textbooks, leaders are supposed to take one for the team. In real life, leaders understand that teams exist to take one, or as many as necessary, for them. Leaders don’t survive for long enough to get to the top by being anyone else’s bullet sponge.

The surprising thing isn’t that Biden isn’t gonna just quietly step aside, the surprising thing is that a huge chunk of the media and the Democratic Party (but I repeat myself) seriously entertained the idea that they could force him out, and started the hit-job cycle to try to make it happen.

Watching the walk backs will be fascinating, and especially for media figures putting the genie back in the bottle will likely be a massive challenge after spending a few days airing the dirty laundry of “Now It Can Be Said”

This whole thing will become more and more of a shitshow as the year progresses, it’s gonna be fascinating to watch. To discover that some of these people are as clued into human motivation and election mechanics as the average Freeper is eye-opening. These Democrats are supposed to be professionals - this stuff is supposed to be their bread and butter, whereas the average Freeper is just using a keyboard to issue an extended belch.

Harris is really the only choice to take Biden's place for several reasons. First, is the money, and it's significant. Second, it seems the least reactionary, as in theory at least, she's been a heartbeat from the presidency for more than three years. Third, replacing her would cause a disruption with the black vote. It could be overcome, but why risk it. And finally, she does have a high name recognition.

But while all these reasons show why she has to be the pick, there's a problem. Nobody likes her, and she is a horrible campaigner. And I think the DNC insiders would have replaced Joe a while back, except they knew Harris would be a train wreck. Such is the danger with Affirmative hires.

....... I expect that ... No matter who the Democrats run to replace Dementia Joe .... The Age of the Republican Nominee will suddenly and immediately bolt to the forefront of their tactics to become the "Main Issue" this election cycle.

.... The Democrat Party will jump on the so called "AGE" issue to divert attention away from the Economy and the Border et-al. The problems of which were caused by that guy with dementia ... Who is no longer running.

... Trumps age and his Dementia then becomes the main issue during this election Cycle. ...... Yup They are already creating the "Trumps Dementia" narrative as we speak ....

Nope. Not a word.

The Chicoms, Russians, Norks, Hamas, Iran, Houthis do not threaten rat power.

MAGA threatens rat power.

Therefore, they strive to eliminate PDJT and his supporters by any means necessary.
