2000 Mules

I don't drink, haven't for 16 years, but I might make an exception for a beer or two (I did break down for a few shots of Crown Royal with my friends for my birthday) with you.

My hopes are that it doesn't come to a civil war. If it does though, I am prepared.

Again. my hopes are this nation can come together like we did on 9-11, without any loss of life.

My hope also are that this nation can overcome the differences in play right now and come together. I also hope for total world peace.

I think the chances of either happening are about the same.

The posts in this forum indicate there is almost no chance. Considering how small our community here is, just look at the number of posts that say (or imply) try protesting near me and I will shoot you.
 
But it DOES NOT have to be that way Frank. It just doesnt. In the past what made this country great was people discussing their hopes and dreams for the country, their differences, then being honest enuff to open up to each other and and drop the partisan bullshit. No side has ever been 100 % correct. People need to admit that each side has valid points instead of this MY TEAM is always right BULLSHIT,....because it is not! Cable news, print, and as much as I hate to say it places like THIS ONE have helped cause this divide. So,....what do we want as a country? Do we want to just kill each other simply because we have ALL become so corrupt that we refuse to be honest enuff to admit that both sides have some valid concerns? Or are we going to do the right thing and begin to be honest again for a change? There are not TWO TEAMS in this country like the powers that be would have us believe. Its a damn LIE and people need to wake the F up and smell the coffee before its too late.

Stone, same thing applies to you as I said to RB. Love to sit and down a few brews and have a few laughs. I CLEARLY AND EASILY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BOTH SIDES HAVE VALID POINTS...AND THE AISLE SIDE I FAVOR IS NOT "ALWAY RIGHT."

The present Supreme Court has a huge conservative bent...and it happened because Mitch McConnell refused to allow Obama to appoint a justice so close to an election (9 months)...and because Mitch McConnell RUSHED through a Trump appointee just weeks before another election.

And a monumental decision seems to have been made by that court...one that changes the way things have been for over 70 years.

Conservatives here are worked up in anger over people PEACEFULLY protesting that...while at the same time excusing the behavior of a crowd attempting to overturn a legitimate election in a decidedly NON-PEACEFUL way.

How do we reconcile stuff like that?

How do we reconcile the REASONABLE distress of people who realize that the citizens of conservative states have such a power advantage over the citizens of progressive states in the Senate and in the Electoral College?

Why do fucking morons like you think that the Democrats (thought of as incompetent by the likes of you) were able to organize an election steal that resulted in a popular win of over 7,000,000 votes and a landslide Electoral College win...

...and leave so little evidence that your side was laughed out of court (often by Trump appointed judges) more than 70 times?

I am not a Democrat...and there is no goddam way I would give them anywhere near that much credit.

Why would you?

Why do you think they are that competent?

And if you do think they are that competent...why in fuck sake do you want the comparatively incompetent Republicans running the country rather than them?

WHY?
 
Protests do not have to be violent at the homes of Supreme Court Justices to be a violation of the US Code.

Title 18, Section 1507 of the United States Code provides an official position of the U.S. government that the press secretary could not provide.

“Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”

Yet no arrests.

I don't wear Depends (capital "D")...and at 85, I still occasionally climb a ladder with a chainsaw and drop decent sized tree limbs. I am...robust.

I notice you did not answer any of my "shy" question.

I think most intelligent people can guess the reason for that.
 
People want to believe SO badly.

I swear; all they need is a picture of someone holding paper, or people pulling cases out from under desks (which is how they stored ballots, btw), or a wheelbarrow w/ burning paper in it.

Fraud! Massive fraud! No context, nothing. It's embarrassing, but beyond that, it is doing lasting damage to the republic. Shame on all of them.

Or actual government surveillance video of mule after mule stuffing multiple ballots into ballot boxes. The left wants to believe it isn't so but the videos and geo tracking don't lie.
 
Less than 41,000 total votes spread out in 3 states gave Biden the electoral win. There was PROOVABLE voter trafficking in those states. This election certainly wasn't the most secure election in American history. That statement is a Big Lie.

And you understand that in some states, it was allowed to submit multiple ballots? There is no indication that they were illegal or fraudulent.

Have you actually fact-checked the claims? I mean, really researched them?

Like I said previously on the thread: this is the same as the Iraq War. The conclusion is reached first - and then only the "facts" that support the conclusion are allowed in. Everything else is filtered out & ignored.

The Trump admin made that statement. Though, I'd agree that they did lie all the time.

Apparently it was less than 43K vote not less than 41K votes . my bad. But you get the idea. The voter trafficking was enough that it could have changed the election.

Biden won by

Georgia 11,779 votes 16 electoral votes
Arizona 10,457 votes 11 electoral votes
Wisconsin 20,682 10 electoral votes

===========================
42918 popular votes and 37 electoral votes

Biden won 306 elector votes trump won

306
-37

269 You need 270 to win the Presidency

Read the law again. Then tell us how simply picketing is a violation of the law that requires intent to obstruct or impede the administration of justice in order for it to be charged. If you arrest anyone with no intent, then it would be you violating the law.

If they do not lie...why didn't the Trump people submit them in court through all those cases. Each of those cases was thrown out...with most of the judges laughing at what was supposedly evidence.

Get off it. Just as Trump was legitimately elected in 2016...Joe Biden was legitimately elected in 2020. The only difference in the elections is that Hillary Clinton had the ethical fortitude and class to concede defeat. Trump has no ethical fortitude and not an iota of class...so he still hasn't conceded...and still leads the morons who continue supporting him to resist.

Biden's Electoral College victory was a LANDSLIDE. We have Trump and his followers to attest to that.

Read it again, Pobre.

"... or with the intent of influencing any judge..."

Why do you think they are protesting ...before the final vote and release next month?

...In this environment, the White House could not even muster enough courage to denounce protesters descending on the homes of justices to harass them. While the legitimacy of the Court is questioned, the targeting of justices and their families is not.

They were on public road and sidewalk, dumbass. They have the right.
