Wow. You still don't get it.
Amazing. Trump was gone,
Pandemic or not. He was
gone as soon as he won in
16. There was a full court
press to get rid of him
every minute he was in
office. He was an interloper
who interrupted business
as usual, the business of
corruption in both parties.

He was the non White family
that moved into an all White
neighborhood in 1960. There
go the property values. He
had to go at any cost. He
interrupted the flow of
corruption among the elite
world leaders. He screwed
Saudi Arabia with Keystone
and fracking. He screwed
China by changing the trade
deals. He screwed big biz
by building a wall and cutting
off the cheap labor supply.
He got out of the slush fund
Paris Accord that gives billions
to corrupt govt's all over the
world. On and on, he
screwed the elite in DC and
around the world. He had
to go.

So they stole the election
right in front of us. Blatantly,
obviously. It was planned
for 4 years. Trump could
not serve a 2nd term. It's
why Barry never left DC,
when Beijing Biden talks
it's Barry moving his mouth.

We always knew the long
time politicians in DC were
corrupt, they get elected
with no money and leave
30 years later a millionaire
20 times over. Bribes, kickbacks,
favors, the ways are endless.
Nobody knew the extent of
it till Trump came along and
threw a monkey wrench into
the gravy train.

So it's back to the New Normal.
High gas prices, high unemployment,
low GDP growth, stranglehold
EPA that keep's minority small
businesses from growing. An open
border that keeps a steady supply
of cheap labor coming in. Happy
days are here again for the elites.


I don’t think the election was stolen. Unless by stolen you mean allowing votes by mail which disproportionately favors Democrats?

I do still believe for all of Trump’s flaws he would have won re election if he hadn’t been SUCH a doofus on just LOOKING like he knew what he was doing on COVID-19.

I generally agree with your analysis of the results of the new administration. They can start with the job crushing $15 MW. I had a MW job at age 17. $2.65 an hour. I was happy to have a job. And the job should NOT have paid enough to support a family.

Are you saying you think $15 an hour would be enough to support a family?

Good question. No, I don’t. But by family I generally mean 2 working adults so that would mean around $60k a year. So that is certainly enough to support a family of four. If by support you really mean the basic necessities.

Also.... during my career I worked likely on average between 50-55 hours per week. And often took a second moonlighting job when it was available. Because I wanted better schools for my kids. Better trips for me and wife and kids. More savings to retire earlier. Why can’t a guy struggling to make ends meet work more than 40 hours a week!?

I am agreeing with my lefty friends that Trump’s handling of the pandemic is a good part of the reason he is ex President Trump. We will never know, but I think without the once in a century pandemic we would still have a President Trump.

Also agree that the Republican Party is in BIG trouble. We shall see if it can emerge from the ashes. I used to be able to make fun of the squad. Now there is Boebert, Greene, and the kid from South Carolina (maybe North Carolina?).

Interesting happenings in NY. AG, supported by Cuomo, is now throwing Cuomo under the bus. Blaming him for the ridiculous practice of sending COVID-19 patients back to nursing homes. And undercounting nursing home deaths by 50% and then bragging about our low death rate!


I tend to agree, up until COVID I was pretty certain he would win re-election. But, during COVID he handled a lot badly (not just COVID itself, but the protests/riots, being anti-mail in ballot, and his dispersions of the election process), he basically walked himself into a corner of looking like a conspiratorial blunder (which he has always been in my view, but now it is finally clear to many even in his party).

I have to ask, and I am not being rude, why do you write in newspaper column format (or whatever the technical term in)? Its normally not a huge issue for short posts, but for long posts they eat a good chunk of the page because of their height? You do this on WOV as well.
Is there a reason why, I am genuinely curious, and I never understood it?

However, as for you contents, nobody stole the election, this has been investigated countless times. If Democrats "stole" the election they did a pretty terrible job (should have had more Senate seats, instead of a razor thin majority).

Trump screwed Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran and Venezuela with the KP and fracking.

That just changed.

Biden cancelled the pipeline to help his donors. It had nothing to do with the environment.

Now, we have to burn more fossil fuels to transport it by rail and truck, instead of a pollution and cost saving pipeline. It costs about $5 per barrel to transport oil and gas by pipeline compared to $10-$15 a barrel for rail and $20 a barrel by truck.

Buffet, Gates and Wall Street are big donors to the dem party.

Buffet is heavily invested in BNSF Railway. Gates is a big shareholder in CNR.

Wall Street investment funds have been buying up shares of the major railroads.

BNSF, is 46 percent owned by Wall Street investment funds. At CSX, the figure is 35 percent; at Union Pacific, 34 percent; at Kansas City Southern, 33 percent; and at Norfolk Southern, 32 percent, according to Bloomberg News.

Translation: EvenBob has absolutely no evidence the election was stolen, and will hope that this response is sufficient enough to be able to pivot on to some other stupid conspiracy theory. Maybe Jewish space lasers???

The Dims steal every close election in states where there is a Democrat-machine-run* city. The question is, how many fraudulent votes can they generate this day and age? If GA was won by around 12,000 votes, it makes it a candidate. If the figure gets to be more than that, I for one tend to discount the possibilities a lot more, but still am not sure.

How many fraudulent votes are in the realm of possibility? Examine the 1982 Illinois gubernatorial race, where the FBI got involved and it was determined to be 100,000 fraudulent votes. 100,000!

Quote: link
There were "62 indictments and 58 convictions, many involving precinct captains and election officials. The grand jury concluded that 100,000 fraudulent votes had been cast in the city ... Authorities found massive fraud involving vote buying and ballots cast by others in the names of registered voters. In one case, a ballot punched for the Democratic slate had been tabulated 198 times
That sure makes 12,000 today very plausible

* If there is a Republican counter-part to that, I've never heard of it.

EASY PEASY

Attempts to suppress voter counts in democrat areas is an easy counter part.
-Not providing enough voting areas in high population areas.
-Purging voter rolls as late as possible so people won't always be aware.
-Opposing easy access voting for students on campus.
-having the voting place but understaffing to possibly make people give up waiting.
- putting the voting poll for Dems in an area with almost no parking.

All these things have happened.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
