Fighting Back Against the Coup
[LenoraThompsonWriter] Here's How to Protect Your Vote via the Electoral College

#1  The real meat of the article is in the section labelled Electoral College; many remedies to fraud if the Trunks find their stones.

#2  After reading this article, I wrote to both of my Senators to do all they can to insure election integrity. I included a copy of the article's URL in the letters. Presently, IMO the election process is as crooked as a dog's hind leg in these battleground states.

#3  More fun and games in PA: Biden was supposedly up by 13,000 votes late Friday. The normal rate of errors for absentee ballots is 1%. The number of absentee ballots increased 10x from 2016 to 2020 - but PA's Democrat elections officials are claiming the number of errors DECLINED by two-thirds!

So instead of at least 28,000 absentee ballots being thrown out because of violations of voting rules - that would be 1% of this year's total - the PA election people have chosen to invalidate only 951!

It's even worse: over 90% of this year's absentee ballots are from first-time mail-in voters, who tend to have a significantly higher error rate than frequent mail-in voters. So the real number of invalid absentee ballots is probably more than 40,000 -- more like 50k or 60k.

#4  Insure election integrity? It's not like it's a new thing. We can make jokes about Chicago's Daley and Philadelphia...but nothing was done. Throw in no ID required to vote in some places. I mean, phoock, how many red flags do we need (and over how many years)?

#5  We can make jokes about Chicago's Daley and Philadelphia...but nothing was done.

IIUC, Nixon decided not to contest the 1960 election because he feared it would tear the country apart. Trump knows better.

#6  Yesterday I ordered a black mourning ribbon for my US flag and will make it a permanent attachment to the flag i have at the entrance to my home. The end of the American Era as I knew it seems at hand, and I’m too old for the coming festivities needed to right this tragic wrong. I will pray others have the courage and will, and wisdom, to avoid excess in the things that now require Patriots to undertake. Certainly try everything possible before January 20th. This was the greatest theft of power in American history.

#10  @ #5 - It's been said that Nixon resigned the presidency for precisely the same reason.

#11  If Trump wins the legal battles and continues to a second term, would it be illegal in any way for him to buy cable network and put one of his kids in charge? Or does that create conflict of interest?

Does Trump Jr have enough money on his own to create the media empire that will replace the tottering Fox News?

#12  The end of the American Era as I knew it seems at hand, and I’m too old for the coming festivities needed to right this tragic wrong.

Yes, this is without question the end of the American Era. With Trump we achieved energy independence. If Biden ends fracking, that's gone.

Trump gave us hope that we could have a normal country with real borders-- gone. Trump fought back against the wave of identity politics insanity-- now we will have a Woke Dunciad, identity politics and raycists-everywhere! in overdrive.

Trump gave our working and middle classes robust economic growth and income gains; now we can look forward to a new feudalism in which Big Tech overlords capture all the gains and 70-80% of the population are functional equivalents of serfs, dependent on one or another version of state-guaranteed income.

Trump began to knock down the lies and 1984-style hegemony of Big Tech-Big Media; now we are firmly under the control of INGSOC and its Panopticon. All that's missing now is the Google-chip, to be inserted into every serfish cortex.

I will pray others have the courage and will, and wisdom, to avoid excess in the things that now require Patriots to undertake.

Actions must be taken. Clarity of thought and focus are essential. The greatest danger to our Republic is not the idiot Biden, not his desiccated whore of a VP, not that putrid hag in the House. They're simply puppets.

We must target the puppet-masters.

We must break the power of the information monopoly that is dominating not only our economy, our culture, our society but our very thought and behavior. It was these fuckers who enabled this lying disgusting brain-scrambled buffoon to avoid scrutiny of his corruption and Chinese kompromat. It was these bastards along with their vile little toadies in the legacy media who propped up this stinking corpse and hurled it across the finish line.

We must bring down Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Twitter if we are to remain a republic of free men and women.

#14  @ #11 - If spouses of Congresspersons can work for lobbyists and spouses cash in on legislation (e.g., Mr. Blum (Feinstein) and Mr. Pelosi), then why not?

Home Front: Politix
Don Jr. and Eric Trump savaged leading Republicans for not defending their father
[Bus Insider] President Donald Trump's older sons, Eric and Donald Jr., slammed top Republicans on Twitter on Thursday, accusing them of not sufficiently defending their father as election results come in.

Donald Jr. accused "2024 GOP hopefuls" of a "total lack of action," while Eric suggested that those who did not stand up for Trump were "sheep." In response, several top Republicans appear to have stepped up to support the president.

The Trump sons' rallying cries came a few hours before the president made a White House speech filled with unsubstantiated accusations of voter fraud and complaints about "phony polls." The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia to contest their vote counts, though some have already been tossed out.

The lack of GOP support on these claims apparently irked the president's sons, who accused Republicans of cowardice and of prioritizing future political chances over defending their father.

Donald Jr. tweeted: "The total lack of action from virtually all of the '2024 GOP hopefuls' is pretty amazing.

"They have a perfect platform to show that they're willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead. Don't worry, @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!"

"Irked" a lot of other people as well. But as Harry Truman was quoted as saying:

"If you want a friend in D.C., buy a dog."

#2  ^ The issue isn't friendship. Failure to stand up is being noted, they will ultimately pay a heavy price regardless of which way this turns out.

#3  We'll find out if there are any consequences when Willard Romney is up for reelection.

#4  Members of an incipient Republican party first met in February 1854. Less than six years laater, in 1860, they won a presidential election under Lincoln. That party is now dead and it is up to Trump to create something new. History bears repeating.

#5  Start the takeover now. Take the GOP from the inside. Start prepping primarily opponents, but more importantly start taking over precinct and county party leadership. MRGA. Make the Republicans Great Again. First targets? RINOs in safe Red areas, especially Senatorial races coming up in 2022, and safe Representative seats, like in Alabama, Texas, West Virginia, etc. Build a core group to control enough seats to make the RINOS fall in line.

Make MAGA into a national movement to reclaim the GOP, reaching out to minorities, like John James in MI, and Kimberly Klacik in Baltimore.

#6  This isn't about Donald Trump.

Donald Trump's career isn't that important.

The "They're after you." meme is not only poignant but also factually true.

#7  This isn't about Donald Trump. This isn't about the Republican Party.

This is about two pillars of our democracy - the press and the institutions of federal law enforcement. Each has been captured and corroded by sick, degraded individuals who are making war upon truth and justice.

There is no way we can continue believing that we have a Republic when our media throttles access to a mountain of evidence that a candidate and his family are corrupt tools in hock to our mortal enemy.

And we have no rule of law when our intelligence agencies fabricate and spread completely bogus, preposterous rumors alleging same about the opponent of the candidate who's actually corrupt and compromised.

Now we have an absurd, third-world, tinpot dictator electoral process involving millions of mail-in ballots that mysteriously appear, no chain of custody at all, separated already from their secure envelopes before any independent observer can even try to verify they match their purported senders' names and IDs -- and overwhelmingly, comically stacked in favor of the candidate favored by the party that dominates the local election and postal offices.

And we're supposed to buck up, salute their anointed shit for brains corrupt demented puppet and sing Hail to the Chief.

FUCK OFF.

These crimes by all three groups -- the media/big tech, the intelligence agencies, the corrupt Democrat machine -- these assaults on our traditions, our laws and our Constitution cannot be tolerated.

This brazen theft must not stand. No, no again NO

#8  Texas has started arresting people for election fraud. A guy who submitted 137 fraudulant ballots.
Posted by: Angeater Omick2705 || 11/07/2020 18:02 Comments || Top||

#9  This election is bogus. The people who rallied in the millions for Trump now must come out once more and converge upon Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Raleigh, Milwaukee, Las Vegas.

Go to the ballot processing centers in the tens of thousands.

Make noise and demand that Republican observers be allowed entry.

Demand a complete audit, videotaped and witnessed by at least two observers from each party, of EVERY SINGLE VOTE registered in every one of those fraud-infested shithole city ballot-counting halls.

#11  Ordinary people are done.

I was raised to be a lady, and ladies don’t curse, but fuck these motherf'rs to hell and back for what they’ve done to me, and mine, and my country. All we Joe Blow Americans ever wanted was a little patch of land to raise a family, a job to pay the bills, and at least some illusion of freedom, and even that was too much for these human parasites. They want it all, mind, body and soul. Damn them. Damn them all.

Whitlock: The 2020 Presidential Election Is A Story Of Love Vs. Hate
[OutKick] The stakes of this messy and manipulated presidential election seem even more enormous than the pre-election hype that framed Trump vs. Biden as an American civil war fault line.

The 2020 election is playing out as a parable regarding the power of two sworn enemies — love and hate.

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joseph Biden are not the stars or antagonists in this tale. Their supporters are.

A blind unconditional love of their leader fuels the energy and action of Trump supporters. They risk their health (maskless rallies), reputation (accusations of racism and sexism) and safety (social media and Antifa harassment) to stand with their hero.
MOM! The Deplorables are doing that thing again!

Comparing Biden to George Washington is a bit thick, but still.
