ReplyDeleteYou use the word 'reports' quite liberally (the irony is not lost on me). They are not reports, they are claims, and quite baseless ones at that.
The republicans are working overtime inventing fraud stories, so that people think that 'at least some of them must be somewhat true'. They are ignoring the danger of their actions. They are thinking short term, hoping that their base will be outraged enough to stick with them. But in the long term this is a dangerous move for the country, undermining the basis of the democracy. Trump is putting country last and himself first, as he has always done.
If there are credible claims, pursue them democratically. But the idea of persuading the public to distrust elections plays right into the hands of democracy's enemies. As the joke is going around 'Kim Jong Il says that the election chaos is a result of having more than one person on the ballot. Multiple choice breeds chaos'.
Well done, republicans.
How does anyone believe the fraud drivel? Why would the Democrats allow McConnell to win? Why wouldn't they stop that? Why didn't they ensure the blue wave in the Senate if they are so powerful?
ReplyDeleteHow do they control the elections in Georgia where the state government is controlled by republicans?
If you want to believe in republican's policies, fine. But to go from there to believe those stupid conspiracy theories is just ludicrous. Obama was still not born in Kenya, even if the peace process with Sudan is a good thing.
Can someone elaborate on what the "Lakewood model" that the governor keeps on pointing to?
ReplyDeletethe scalpel approach
DeleteThe lakewood model is a phony farce that askanim and murphy convinced themselves that they brought down the numbers of the virus. It is nothing more than manipulating data with shtick deception and trickery. The real Lakewood model is thousands got sick with corona and R"L people were niftar after a few weeks the numbers automatically went down as is the nature of how the virus works.
DeleteMazel Tov America!
ReplyDeleteYou have a new President coming, someone who actually wants to get the complicated difficult job done. Someone who won't have hours available each day for tweeting, watching TV, and calling into radio shows. Someone who will actually spend his time reading his intelligence briefings, and calling on actual experts to explain complicated issues. Someone who won't use petty revenge to make decisions, rather figure out how to better the life of Americans.
Mazel Tov!
Reading his intelligence briefings...
DeleteHahah the Buffoon cant utter a coherent sentence.
Biden will remain in the basement
I hope you do not know that Mr. Bidden is handicapped with a stammer. You, hopefully inadvertently, are making fun of someone with a speech impediment.
DeleteI am anonymous 11:47, and it seems that Anonymous 12:07 needs to be told what reading means. Reading does not mean 'uttering', it means looking at words of text, and processing them with the mind. It may be a complex concept to you, but some people have some experience with it, and they learn all kinds of things through it. Unfortunately, for the last four years we have had a president whose intelligence level is pretty minor, close to zero, and his breadth of knowledge about any topic under the sun has been also close to zero. Which is both the reason he does not read, as well as a product of his lack of reading.
DeleteWhy does Hefkervelt skew so much to Trump? Any foolish news that could mean Trump is winning gets mentioned, yet when news emerges the other way, it is ignored. Why? What is the point?
ReplyDeleteAmerica, America, grace has yet been shed on thee!
ReplyDeleteA divided Congress means that no fringe or extreme element will rule. America will find its natural center, where it belongs.
America needs leadership, not charisma.
We need an executive with empathy and elderly wisdom, and yes, someone with decades of experience in the Senate, to heal our divide.
More than anything, we need moderation.
If "Sleepy Joe" means that he is not a man of passion to galvanize partisan support, then he is the cure to our ailment.
decades of experience in the senate? decades of experience doing nothing in the senate. can you name me one thing this man has accomplished over the last 47 years?
DeleteThat is the point (not to admit he has no record). We need leadership and a return to civility more than we need this or that policy and new legislation.
