There is no other way to comprehend the slow-motion waking nightmare that we are now enduring.

We no longer have a free and independent press. Almost half the nation has no knowledge of the spectacular corruption of the Biden family and the risk to national security posed by Joe and Hunter Biden's depravity and stupidity.

We no longer have free and fair elections. For the first time since Bleeding Kansas 185 years ago, we now vote under the cloud of threats of political violence. Vote for Biden -- or else we'll kill you and destroy your town.

We just saw a massive fheft involving over half a million obviously, ridiculously fraudulent absentee ballots delivered only after midnight, only marked for Biden, only in four Democrat-dominated cities and only those cities where these Potemkin ballots could sway the state and also the national outcome.

As in Ceausescu's Romania or Chavista Venezuela, we're told that these magical results transformed the most piss-poor, non-campaign we've ever seen - a masked dotard sitting in his basement and calling off each day's speeches and campaign events shortly after breakfast - that this lying, senile buffoonish lizard who severely underperformed even Hillary managed nonetheless to miraculously, wildly outperform her only in those four cities.

Only in Detroit (but not Cleveland), Philadelphia (but not Baltimore or NYC), Atlanta (but not Miami), Milwaukee (but not Chicago), Las Vegas (but not LA).

This is Brezhnevian shit.
We are now living in a lite version of Brezhnev's Soviet Union.

All hail Leonid Ilyich!
Praise the Revolution -- and pass the crackpipe!

#3 So Trump might really mean it. He might even hire a tenacious pit bull such as Bill Barr to lead his legal team.

#4 Forget Trump. He's just Emmanuel Goldstein, a convenient target for Two Minutes Hate. We're on our own now.

Trump's m.o. is useless for this next phase.

The challenges this country faces -- restoring fair and free elections, destroying the media blackout and ending the stranglehold of incurably mendacious Big Tech companies, creating a large and alternative high-quality educational system as public education collapses during and post-COVID -- these will require sustained effort by 109 million Americans over many decades. Bullshit artists and blatherers need not apply.

This isn't pamphleteering, summer-soldier time. It's winter now. Think Valley Forge -- and extend it by thirty or forty years.

#5 Yes, it is winter. Take the ice for all three periods and play hard, or you will find unpunished political retribution we only hear about from refugees. Hockey is not a solo game. The point is to not have a Valley Forge.

Or give it a shrug, cede the ice for the 3 period, and sit in your bedroom watching Fix News, hoping this is the day Uncle Joe lets you out of the 8th week of 4-6 week confinement, with the occasional visit from Yum! Food Deliver, Federal Contact Tracers, or Green Smart Utility Caregivers.

#7 I haven’t heard any complaints about Ohio’s elections, which has Republican control in both houses of the legislature as well as the governor. So the path is clear, if there should be a Biden administration: use control at the state level to clean up as many states as possible, regardless of what is happening in Washington, DC, and make their equipment and procedures as robust as can be done.

The following come to mind: voter rolls cleaned up annually of the dead, unconfirmed addresses, moved, and multiple registrations; mandatory photo ID for mandatory in-person voting on Election Day only, with absentee ballot exceptions only for the military and those with a doctor’s note, and then only those received at the board of elections —not postmarked, but received — on Election Day by the time polls close; all precinct workers to have a poll watcher from each party parked within two feet of the worker; all voting machines disconnected from the internet from one week before Election Day until the vote count is complete; hourly printout of vote totals made and notarized throughout election day, hand written if printout capabilities are not available, and the notarized physical printouts included with the flash drive containing the information delivered from each precinct to the county board of elections, with notarized copies sent to the office of the state secretary of state.

And the purple finger thing. Why should the Iraqis have all the fun?

#10 AT&T is $155 millions in debt. They want to sell CNN. What say you Pres. Trump?

#11 CNN is a train wreck. I am glad a ATT lost their arse on CNN. CEO's on Wall Street are bankrupt idiots. This is what you get for supporting Dim "Let's lockdown main street."

#12 What is the necessity for voting machines, at all?

It's a way to automate cheating. Stealing votes at wholesale keeps the cost and required manpower down.
