    Very well said. The republic is hanging in the balance, and far too few give 3/16 of a damn.

    Less than that; mainly because almost a 1/4 of all Americans don’t believe the “republic is hanging in the balance.” Even for many of those who did not support Biden, I don’t believe we at at so dire a crossroads. The nation historically has gone through “hills and valleys.” You, and many others, can believe we at transitioning into a “valley,” but it’s not something that won’t eventually reverse course; as is always the case. If you think the election of Biden is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, then what ultimately do you think the best course of action is? Moving?

    Anything involving both Biden and Kerry are not something that I personally feel are in the best interest of the United States. They are selling us out to the globalist agenda which will only weaken us. Say what you will about Trump but he understands what's going on with the globalist agenda and the effect it would have if left unchecked and he took steps to deter it.

    I'm pretty certain dems would literally trade their own homes, children, and livelihood if it meant Trump wasn't in office.

    And that's what's scary.

    Insofar as Trump is literally Hitler, I would agree. Meaning, I think your statement is a bit over the top.

    If this s**t comes down many of them may if they are compromised as some say they are. Otherwise they will pave the road to hell, I meant globalism...

    Well they ultimately will, likely by force and coercion.

    The great reset they celebrate and support is exchanging lifetime property rights for total debt forgiveness and a form of stipend. Combine this with requiring a vaccine to work, travel, or buy food.
    The writing is already on the wall for what's coming if it isn't stopped.

    They'll say it's crazy to say such a thing today, when a year ago telling them what this year has looked like would illicit the exact same response. They either don't, can't, or won't look at what's going on around them and make choices to prevent that outcome.

    They want us to inch ever closer to living in abject hell, while feigning ignorance the whole time.

    Insofar as Trump is literally Hitler, I would agree. Meaning, I think your statement is a bit over the top.

    The only way you achieve 81 million votes legitimately is if people literally think Trump is hitler. So how is that over the top?

    This is why conservatives need to loosen up on their love of the corporations.
    The corporations don't love you, and they don't love capitalism all that much either, because they can more efficiently get your money by using a despotic government to funnel your tax dollars to them.
    And also leverage their control of politicians to ensure they conduct business without competitors, and keep the borders wide open to ensure they have an endless supply of people who will work for less money than you will.

    The GOP, L.L.C. doesn't seem to get it. Corporations don't vote. Employees of corporations do.

    For a quarter-century after WWII, the GOP had no political agenda outside containing communism abroad. Meanwhile, the Democrats continued to grow domestic socialism right under their noses. At least partly in response to these two historical realities, the Republican Party went to ape-sh*t after Milton Friedman won the Nobel Prize. In one of the great political ironies of our time, Reagan, champion of the "common man," permitted a band of extreme laissez-faire theorists and think-tankers to ride into influence on his coattails.

    Today the Republican Party is in the con-game of using social issues to sell economic libertarianism to voters whose own personal interests would, truth be told, mostly be harmed by it. If the ideals of complete economic libertarianism were absolutely, fully implemented in America, a surprising quantity of people on this forum probably wouldn't have a pot to **** in or a window to throw it out of.

    Fast-forward to today: Trump was free to focus the public's attention on the fact that the GOP could not effectively represent their interests, because it was specifically set up to represent the interests of their employer, to the absolute exclusion of all else. "Don't want the Democrats to kill babies and ban guns? Well, heh heh, better vote us Friedman acolytes into power again."

    Now, with Trump gone, the GOP, L.L.C. is free to go back to their old tricks. Problem is, they're now painfully aware they can't win elections without Trump's voters. Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia are quintessential insiders who are desperately holding onto Trump's coattails (just like the laissez-faire think-tankers held onto Regan's) in hopes it will pull them to victory.

    Will the con work again? We have until Jan. 5th to find out. And unfortunately for us - if we don't want Nasty Pelosi and Chuck U. Schumer running the country - we actually need this con to work, one more time. But I fear it may not have enough gas left in it.

    What would Thomas Paine do?

    What would Thomas Jefferson do?

    What would Thomas Jackson do?

    I doubt any would be holding on for the con, but your opinion may differ.

    Also, have you spent any time actually reading Milton Friedman's writings?

    I ask only because it seems many opine without doing the homework reading... just my personal experience.

    Well said, but drilling down on this point.
    I don't know what will happen today or tomorrow, all I know is I have some faith that this country isn't turning towards the great reset and mandatory vaccines and something major will happen to prevent that possible outcome.

    Trump has already began to grow aware of the public's distrust and dislike for these corporate ****s selling our country out so they can shave a penny by manufacturing in another country even if it costs a fellow countryman his livelihood. I think in his second term he's going to start to identify domestic enemies of our country, not just politicians. It's certainly way past due date to have some shuffling in our government at this point.

    They couldn't achieve 81 million votes legitimately. If they had to stick to only legitimate votes, IMO this would be an entirely different conversation

    It is not about the person of Joe Biden and moving is out of the question. I am NOT leaving the country that my family contributed to paying in blood to establish.

    If we have clearly fraudulent elections, we are living in a dictatorship run by criminals who are convincing we are still a free people living under a democratically elected government.


    This, from the man who supports those socialist enemies of the Republic.

    Is there really a republican precinct that democratic poll watchers are fearful and intimidated? Where? There are thousands of precincts that real republicans are scared for their lives to go be poll watchers. You may note I used the word "real" in front of republican. Why? Because in many democrat cities they have patsies register as republican then volunteer to be poll watchers.

    What do democrats have to hide, besides the obvious?

    Following Judge Elsenheimer’s order for the forensic examination of the Dominion Voting machines, the unelected Township Administrator Peter Garwood informed Mr. Bailey that he would not allow the machines to be accessed until Monday at 11:00 am. DePerno explained that Garwood also contacted Dominion officials and suggested they come to the Antrim County building where the court-ordered examination was to take place.

    As a result, DePerno and his client, William Bailey, were tasked with ensuring to hat the Dominion equipment inside the Antrim County building wouldn’t be tampered with before the team’s arrival. According to DePerno, Garwood was told by several elected county commissioners to stand down and allow the examination to take place over the weekend.

    A group of patriots from northern Michigan answered Mr. Bailey’s call for help. For two days and nights, in freezing cold weather, the group of brave, volunteer patriots stood ready and willing to protect the precious sanctity of our vote.

    On Sunday morning, the seven-people IT forensic team arrived; Mr. Bailey and his attorney Matt DePerno were given access to the county building and started gathering the forensic evidence. Shortly after the collection began, Antrim County Administrator Peter Garwood began to take photos of the seven IT experts.

    When one of the IT team members saw him taking photos of them, they demanded Garwood delete them from his phone. According to DePerno, Garwood reluctantly deleted them. While he couldn’t say for certain, DePerno believes Garwood was attempting to dox the highly-skilled IT forensic experts. Several photos of Mr. DePerno’s vehicle were taken by outside protesters as well.



    This isn't even some high level politician, just an unelected administrator...
