They don't give a you know what. They're happy to disenfranchise voters, gerrymander, practice gross hypocrisy, etc. The Dems need to figure out that the way things have been done in the past doesn't matter anymore. They're battling a party that will do ANYTHING to cling on to its grip of power. Edited November 17, 2020 by jrober38 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is a liar. Got it. What did Biden campaign on and say he would do about SCOTUS appointments, fracking, the filibuster, and pretty much everything else he's flipped and flopped on for 47 years. Depends on his audience? Was he asked about anything? The Middle East? Foreign interventions he supported? Sure dont vote for Trump because you think he's a liar. But if that's why you voted for Biden that's dumber then saying I voted for Biden bc Trump is racist. Lol. The most racist candidate was Biden.

Essentially what Richards did is he just refused to acknowledge the junkies around him, refused to be dragged down with them and refused to succumb to them urging him to take another snort. While I get the Richards analogy, I would draw another one: General Douglas MacArthur. When MacArthur ignored orders from Truman, Truman finally said enough was enough and sent Ridgeway to Korea to relieve MacArthur. And the uproar was terrific. Congress had MacArthur come to give an address to the joint House and Senate. The adoration was incredible; one Congressman even went so far as to exclaim that MacArthur was God in the flesh. It was assumed he would be President, assumed that the war would be lost. Truman was excoriated by the Congress, by the press, really by the people themselves. And what happened? ridgeway turned the Korean conflict round by actually taking care of his troops, making sure they had essentials like boots and uniforms and food. MacArthur went on the lecture tour to start what all assumed would be his presidential campaign, but became so increasingly strident and illogical that he fairly quickly was ignored by even his most ardent supporters. Truman of course went on and decided not to run again, and history now looks back on him as one of the better presidents. Trump is MacArthur. He lost, he got fired, and as his ranting becomes more and more illogical he will become ignored just like MacArthur, just like the junkies around Keith Richards. Ignore him and he'll fade away. This is the sort of thing that brings me back and keeps me engaged. You read a piece comparing Keith Richard and his addiction battle to a President seeking relief in the courts after an election? In this story—the hero is a geriatric rock star, a person who lead a life of excess most could only dream of (if so inclined), who inexplicably voluntarily chose to dance with a drug notorious its addictive qualities, a guy who likely treated thousands of insecure people as jiz receptacles over his 60 years of fame, and who should have been dead by the mid 1960s? He’s the noble fighter—fighting off those around him, refusing to succumb to his own desires and Trump the villain for waging a legal fight? Keith Richard is a dumb ass. He lived hard, developed an addiction and lived the life of an addict thereafter. That doesn’t make him a bad guy, he’s been incredibly successful playing music, but he’s just another addict dealing with addiction. The hero, if folks reading politico need such things, would be a rock star who chose not to shoot up a very dangerous drug in spite of the temptations all around. Anyway, it explains why folks like Michael brown ascend to Sainthood after attempting to ***** the life of another citizen. Some people believe anything. As for MacArthur, where is the parallel with DJT pursing legal remedy? Did you leave that part out? The better analogy is Al Gore. If you’re right, Trump will quickly fade away and be ignored but other than that, it’s an odd analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re right, Trump will quickly fade away and be ignored but other than that, it’s an odd analogy. I found the Richards thing intriguing, and it caused me to think about MacArthur. I think the MacArthur parallel is more to the point than you. The degree of adoration in Trump supporters is reminiscent of MacArthur. This election is over, much like MacArthur’s command, but each of their supporters went through bouts of extreme hyperbole and denial. I know you keep asking why he should not be allowed to address things through the legal system, but he has. A number of times. And to absolutely no avail. Back during the Korean conflict it was critical that the idea of one Commander in Chief be upheld. The same now. We need to have an orderly transmission to the duly elected next Commander in Chief to assure the proper functioning of government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no requirement that Trump or his supporters submit simply because others want us to. If and when the time comes to transition, it will take place. The government survived nearly 4 years of “Our prez is a Russian!”. We’ll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it happening. However, if it’s legal—and I question stories like this intended to rule up low information voters and overly emotional nimrods—-the process would be designed to do exactly the opposite of what you’re suggesting. He would not be overturning the election, he would simply be seeking the appropriate resolution to a hotly contested election. We’re a nation of laws, and pursuit of a just outcome is reasonable even if you feel it kicks you in the niblets. Credit to the author though for acknowledging what few here see as true, but what is obvious to the informed—Biden is the media president only at this point. It’s going to be an interesting couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think that si what he is trying to do? He has been trying to rig this part of the election since the beginning of this year with the mail in voting bull####. Only problem he is having is his lawyers are actually not allowed to lie in the courts which is why his ***** keeps getting thrown out. The only person willing to be as corrupt as him is Rudy GIULIANI... Which is why he is finally screwed. He isn't doing this for some sort of justice thing... Doesn't help all of his misleading tweets that make his followers do his dirty work so he can pretend like he is a "Good guy" getting the bad side of an election. In reality he is angry b.c his attempt at voter fraud didn't work out. Edited November 18, 2020 by TBBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
