All for naught unless the state legislatures reassert their constitutional control over elections. Having laws on the books does not do any good unless it is enforced.

"This is delusional."

By the media's reckoning, yes however, if true Americans, non-radicals, conservatives, faith based citizens will put asunder the progressive media, left commentators, vote out those who are RINO's, stop the tenure of progressive professors, teachers of all stripes...if we True Americans go quietly about the business of keeping American values and our Constitutional Laws, this will not be the Turkey Shoot the left expects. President Trump was the voice of truth, Biden is the purveyor of corruption...Left corruption is back in vogue.

“Trust the plan.”

I hope you didn’t mean to suggest you don’t Trusty the Plan.
You must Trusty the Plan!

ChiCom Joe was arrested and is circling over GITMO right now.
Assange was freed and is living in a sunny location in the US.
Please be happy and joyous as we “Trust Sessions” and “Trust Wray.”

And ThankQ

What the author doesn’t take into account is that the left is following the playbook Rules for Radicals:

The Rules
1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
3. “Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
8. “Keep the pressure on.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. “
10, “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “

And I would add rule of the left:
“The end justifies the means”

Also, the left has no morals, so the MSM doesn’t care when they do something most people find abhorrent.

When Hillary Clinton caused 4 people to die in Benghazi, her response was “What difference at this point does it make?”. And that is the view of the MSM and Left when caught doing anything wrong.

The LEFT will NEVER be held accountable by the MSM or Deep State. We just need to accept that is their rule and use them to our advantage.

Or very drunk.

We should celebrate the mighty power of STATE Republicans? Yeah, we have seen their intestinal fortitude. The only thing they will fight over is price.

Any freelancer who has ever been rejected by AT should be deeply offended.

“Q was probably liberal propaganda - lie to a political group you want to suppress that there is a grand plan to save everything, sit on your butts, have faith, pray, and DO NOTHING.”

Well, it worked out for the Qanon grifters who rolled in Boomer $$$. Praying Insect, the Paytriot Shitbox, Beans, Sather & the rest of them cleaned up.

I agree with you. They won because the Establishment, a/k/a The Powers that Be knew that we were like jay birds, all mouth and no ass. And that the Left backed up their words with action. If the Left said that if things did not go a certain way, they would take to the streets. And if things did not go that way, their asses were in the street, raising cane. Us, on the other hand, were quick to aver, we will not resort to violence because using violence is beneath our dignity. which side did Roberts listen to? It was not ours. Now we are left with Biden stealing the election instead of President Trump winning the election.

Why do they need court packing? There are two cnservatives, and one TBD on the Court.

This is the unfortunate truth. Elections are a sham.

They got away with the most blatant, obvious, massive vote fraud in history? And somehow they won’t do it again?

Nah, we have to realize that the courts, Federal law enforcement, and elections are corrupt.

Republicans are ‘cowardly’ or ‘weak’. They are also corrupt.

The author of these rules for radicals was Hillary Clinton’s mentor.

What's the difference? From one corrupt party to the other corrupt party, that's all we would be doing. No thanks. Tried that for 40 years now, and it accomplishes nothing whatsoever.

There are only a handful of people that are even worth a damn, in my opinion.

And that is why America is finished. We will be Venezuela 2.0 in less than a decade.

Good luck folks! In essence- he’s saying that “we’ll get ‘em next time” if we only vote for Republicans again. Remember folks- first “we take the House, then the Senate then Presidency...” Yeah OK! I’ve seen that movie too many times.....no thanks!

Flooding the borders in Texas with more ILLEGALS will doom this state. We are rapidly declining. I give it 5 years max.

Hate to pee on your parade...but “if” is the operative word in your thinking...

Do you think we'll ever get an honest vote again?

Ok. Someone called this delusional. Fine. Go sit it out.

I’m very disillusioned like many of you, but I’ve been saying for days, similar to the title for this article: “God’s got US right where he wants us.”

He has allowed these things to happen so we will depend on Him.

That’s where the original colonies were. Farmers. By definition, farmers are dependent on God. Rain, hail, blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, freezes, you name it, God controlled it. Just like today.

Will we have to do what the original colonies did? I pray not. Can we depend on God to save us? We can and we should, but He may not. He allowed His own people to be conquered by Babylon, and I would argue Israel was more important than America. He allowed them to have horrible kings, and plagues. (Sound familiar?)

Bottom line - take your gloomy, “We are doomed” attitudes and put them away. Depend on God. He will save His people one way or another. We can pray it will be by saving our country, and we need to work at that if that’s what we want.

Or, it could be that it’s time for our country to fall, and He’s in charge of that, as well. But we don’t need to declare anything over until it is. The Founding Fathers didn’t. The guys at the Alamo didn’t. (Yes, I know, but they never gave up.) Our men stormed the beaches of France and didn’t quit until they took Berlin.

God help us. He’s the only one who can. To quote Charles Stanley, “When you figure out who God is, you don’t have to worry about what He does.”

If you don’t want to depend on God, send me a Freepmail, and I’ll tell you how you can. (Accept Christ)

So pray, and quit telling me you’re giving up, I’m tired of hearing it. Me? I’m going to work until God says I have to go to Babylon.
