Trump is basically like a clump of hair in the drain—he’s just slowing down the flow into the gutter.

At this point, the USA as we know it is over—it’s too bloated and too corrupted to fix itself and needs to rebuild from the ground up—basically a great reset, just not the kind that the left wants.
But at this point we need to (and will) hit rock bottom before we can rebuild things with better systems in place to ensure that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that got us here in the first place.

It’s very sad this is how it is but Trump will go down as the forefather of USA v2 whenever that happens.

actually, Iran has about 25-30k Jews living there and they are generally ok (There are countless minorities there).
Iran’s main issue is Israel/Zionism, not Judaism.

Yes, they live there under a threat that is never too far away but they are basically left alone as long as they don’t mention the existence of the “zionist entity”

They’ll let us win after they turn the country into Venezuela.


Great point. The GOP is fine being in the minority while Dems do the heavily lifting installing a European style social welfare state. The GOP figures they can win elections later and manage all those pots of socialist gold. That’s the Romney plan.

Trump lost because of women voters like my wife selected neither for president.


You can’t please everybody. Trump picked up minority male voters in record numbers who don’t want a Pajama Boy POTUS. He never would have gotten those votes had he pandered to spoiled and pop culture addled suburban females.

“...It’s what the Republican majorities do that matters.”

The profundity of the day thus far, because we all know the answer.

If you REALLY think that they’re going to let us ‘rebuild’ once they have full control, you have NO CLUE as to who they are. Think China, North Korea, or Cuba for models...and even Russia and Eastern Europe took generations to get out of their trap.

It’s hard to predict the future regarding cheating. With Trump beating them over the head, us owning the courts (for now), and maybe, just maybe, our people finally learning something about cheating - it may be much harder for them to pull it off in the runoffs.

But one thing for sure, if we sit on their hands and let them win clean - all of the above goes away.

when I say rock bottom, I’m talking about pretty much the destruction of the country.

At this point, only building a new country after the USA is destroyed is the only way possible. we can only hope that something gives before we turn into China.
every empire falls at some point . China will fall one day and so will the USA. let’s just hope we can build something better next time.

“China will fall one day and so will the USA. let’s just hope we can build something better next time.”

I think the demographics will prevent us from rebuilding the country, forever, short of a huge civil war and genocide of the minorities, and that’s only if we even get a chance to do that.

Correct.

I like Trump by in large, but you can’t conserve what is already gone.

And most of the capital is gone.

If they go through with the steal, that and a nickle will buy a nice hot cup of JACK SQUAT!

Runoffs are January 5 ... 36 days.

If those machines aren’t disabled by then, Patriots should forcibly enter the counting rooms and smash the machines.

Paper ballots only period.

I will donate to a legal defense/bail fund for Patriots that defend the integrity of the voting process.

No one wants war but it’s here. Either wake up or hide your head in denial.

Republicans now have majority control in both House and Senate chambers in 31 of 50 states.

That’s going to put a hell of a crimp on their kickback programs they will feel the heat on many issues.
Rigging the election put them deeper in the hole coffin door closing.

So only the states with money, power, and influence are blue

That is the problem. No one really cares about the middle of the continent. No one. We don’t exist to them.

I’m familiar with Athens...but thanks anyway.

As I see it, if there is going to be an uprising, it will have to be massive and it will have to be very soon, as once the Dems get their police state in place, we’ll have about as much power as the dissidents in Hong Kong, Iran, China, or Cuba. Ideally before Trump leaves office, otherwise the already-existing powers of the government (including the ability to kill our communications and even our power) will make it hopeless.

...but, in reality, not going to happen.

The intellectual contortions made by professional conservatives are absurd.

None of that matters if the other side cheats and gets away with it.

If GA Patriots make a stand, it will be the spark for the massive uprising to follow.

Between now and then, real information must continue through back channels to the public so they are with the Patriots when the confrontation starts.

Not conservative as far as one can tell. If the US were truly conservative, we wouldn’t have Republican politicians going along with forcing insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. We wouldn’t have a massive national debt. We wouldn’t have all the sappy, schlocky “change the world” advertising. And so on and so on....
