    I've thought of writing something similar but I think you did it much better than I could. The democrats should look at this as a wake up call or a warning but I somehow don't think they'll take heed. Regardless, I think we need to move on and prepare for the mid-terms, we made good gains in the House this time, we need to keep working. I agree with others when it seemed like the RNC sat this one out. We need to keep up the momentum that Trump had with minority communities and build on that. Unlike the democrats we need to do more than just show up and speak a few words of spanish lol. We had some great new conservatives that were running in CA and MD and some other democrat strongholds, we need to keep supporting them. We need a good ground game like Stacy Abrams was running.
    Let's also not forget that the socialists are giddy now and will try to impress their supporters with their wokeness. Pelosi is out there with a straight face saying that she is going to prohibit members of the House from referring to themselves as mothers or fathers, and uncles and aunts will be a "parent's sibling." There will be a lot more silliness to come, and buyer's remorse is sure to come with it.

    It won't take much to get the House back.

    In another potential sign of the apocalypse, I completely agree with all that ^^^

    Just the fact that two threads exist and show up next to each other on "new posts" is comforting.

    The Republic is Dead!
    The Fight is Still On!

    I have no doubt that in the face of adversity, patriots will unite.

    We should start right here in our own backyard, there's no reason for a potato like andre carson to keep getting elected.

    How are we going to do that? The people who have kicked and screamed against any means whatsoever of establishing secure elections now control the process of assuring the legitimacy of elections.
    Having met and worked with a ton of Truck Drivers over 7 years of my work life, I learned a few things.

    In General,

    They complain a LOT.
    The eat really BAD nutritionally.
    At the time, prior to sat radio getting big, they were huge Art Bell fans, which meant they KNEW their conspiracy stuff long before the general population (and got me listening to them)

    They are what moves what we need across this land.
    They were patriots.
    They had a git r don attitude.


    Finally when **** broke on their truck or trailer at 3 am in the morning with a trailer to move, they were very ingenious.

    I am counting on them and those like them to help us climb out of the trenches and push this battle over the top.

    There is still plenty of time and ways to change things and make them better for all those folks out there who come up to your belt buckle without resorting to bandoliers.

    It just takes the will to do it.

    And that is the starting point. Local levels.

    Nationally, 1994 the house.

    Unite? Been hearing that for many many years and have finally come to the conclusion that "how" they will unite is the real question.

    We can learn allot from how the left unites.
    its like the movies.....


    we all wanna stay home on the farm but eventually .....

    It’s worth remembering that the death throes of the Roman republic lasted decades if not more than 100 years of memory serves me correctly. Dan Carlin did a fantastic podcast series on it.

    Speaking of which he made the distinct point that when politicians started being jailed or murdered as soon as they left office and their immunity from prosecution was gone it marked a big change in the Roman republic. That is that everyone started fighting fiercely to hold onto power because the alternative was jail or death.

    sound familiar........

    I don't know where else to put this, so I guess I'll leave it here. Pence received coin after certifying electoral votes. I don't like the Trump=Christ imagery, but selling out for 30 pieces of silver is a mighty judas thing to do.
    I'm pretty sure that video was edited, I saw an almost identical one posted here earlier. The guy shaking Pence's hand didn't pass him anything, after the handshake a guy behind the handshake guy appeared to pass Pence something but I honestly couldn't see anything in the video. But Pence did look down in his hand appear to move something and then put it in his pocket. But whatever it was, it wasn't a big gold coin.
    It starts by not attacking your own side.
    :): I've been called a lefty, a chinese sympathizer, and not even sure what else in the last week or so, at the very least it's been implied. And I will admit I've hit back some, but just looking at crap that's been posted with an open eye/mind isn't attacking the poster. When someone post an article claiming an affidavit by someone in Italy confirms voter fraud, and it was written by an Italian lawer, for an Italian client, in a Italian court, in front of an Italian judge, and it's written in English... Yeah I'm going to point that out. Same as when someone posts an article or such saying that more absentee ballots were returned than sent out, when a 30 second search shows that isn't true. Shall I go on?

    I most sincerely apologize, and i do mean that. What I say next is not to be a justification of any of my actions.

    I never intended to upset people simply for the sake of upsetting people.I detest hypocristy

    What I have always tried to do is say if someone posts to the +10 on the Trump Scale on something I did not think was supportable, then I would reply with a -10 on the Trump scale. Now there are some members here who keep it at a +1 or 2. I kept my responses to a -1 or 2. But some, and I ain't afraid to name names, Bug, Tombs, INGOMike, BigRed are at extremes in my opinion. As an aside though, BigRed liked one of my posts recently even though he once said I could basically die on the side of the road and he would not offer assistance if he passed by so that gives me hope.

    So, for example, when I kept getting flak for TDS well Trump Jesus is an equal and opposite response.

    I still believe, strongly, that I could set across the table from anyone in this forum, drink a beer and leave at the least with a much better understanding of each other, but I really believe, friends. I would even buy.
    Wtf!?! I didn’t make the list?! I gotta step it up a notch ;)

    As for your last paragraph, I think emotions are really high right now. I’m guilty of letting my emotions get to me because of this entire ordeal. I believe there was fraud with all of my heart, I believe the country is going to go through some very dark days ahead... but I also believe we need to stick together and we can’t get through this if we continue to bicker among ourselves. The easiest way for the left to succeed is for the right to tear themselves apart... and knowing the lefts desires we can’t afford to let them succeed.

    I thought we wanted the Clintons in jail?


    If it sounds familiar, it's because that's literally happening in Hong Kong right now.

    Absolutely.

    The thing that has really perplexed me is the number of folks that I have believed to be fighters based on how they interact here, seem to have given up.
    I think it is more just being beat down and tired. I am. To stand and watch what just took place, right under our noses, and be powerless past revolt to do anything is just a bit to much. And a MSM that is in league with this madness is even more depressing.

    Battery's are just dead.
    Will they recharge...???
    They will.

    That last part is exactly how I feel to a T. Battery is dead. Out of gas. Let this pass and we will be back to looking ahead, but man this one is a tough pill to swallow.

    I refuse to swallow this. But will have to once the dottering old fool takes the oath but even that will anger me beyond reason.
