    We have been told that Five Eyes intelligence assessments we've referenced before are part of a conspiracy to reverse the election of Trump. Not to mention the actual charging of foreign actors involved in meddling in our election. So what's the point of posting them if they're "fake news"?

  3. Trump just shot himself in the foot with new voting threats: GOP election lawyer

    Ben Ginsburg, a longtime Republican election lawyer, said on Monday that President Donald Trump’s threats to send lawyers into Pennsylvania to challenge mail-in ballots were not part of some grand strategy to steal the election.

    While appearing on CNN, Ginsburg argued that the president’s threats were instead acts of desperation by a president who doesn’t believe he can win if every ballot is counted.

    “Look, there’s a real tactical error, a head scratcher in somebody from the Trump campaign telegraphing this particular strategy,” he said. “Because if he’s going to go in and say it, no matter what the results are, which is the apparent thrust of what they’re saying, it just becomes a transparent line in a script, as opposed to something on the merits of the numbers on election night.”

    “So you’re suggesting it’s not three-dimensional chess they’re playing, Ben Ginsburg?” asked CNN host John Berman.

    “I am suggesting that,” Ginsburg said while laughing. “It’s really puzzling why spokespeople for his campaign would leak things both to Jim Acosta of CNN and to Jonathan Swan of Axios that say that they’re going to do this no matter what. It takes away the authority with which he can declare victory on election night.”

    GOP handed another blow as federal judge rejects effort to throw out 127,000 votes cast at Texas drive-thru sites

    Republicans were dealt a major blow Monday when a federal judge rejected another last-ditch effort to invalidate nearly 127,000 votes in Houston because the ballots were cast at drive-thru polling centers. The centers were established during the coronavirus pandemic.

    The lawsuit was brought by conservative Texas activists who have railed against expanded voting access in Harris County, which is home to nearly 5 million residents. There were a total of 10 drive-thru locations offered in the county. An estimated 20,000 or more voters are expected to use drive-thru polling locations Tuesday, said Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, the county’s top elections official.

    U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision to hear arguments on the brink of Election Day drew concern from voting rights activists, and came after the Texas Supreme Court rejected a nearly identical challenge over the weekend.

    More than 40 percent of Harris County residents are Latino, and about one in five residents are Black.

    Good. There's no reason why these ballots shouldn't be counted.

  6. Please post specific evidence that the specific evidence already presented in support of the assertion that an entity is trying to influence the Presidental election in favor of Biden is false.

    Pretty please?

  8. Let’s delve deeper into this subject now that I have more time.

    First off, in my younger days I was a closed minded Leftist, although I registered as an Independent in high school. I later registered as a Democrat after George Bush’s 2nd Iraq War. I am still registered as a Democrat.

    I was also a UN flag carrying antiwar protester. I also gathered signatures in support of Leftist causes. I participated in house parties that were in support of Democrats Jay Inslee and Dennis Kucinich.

    The turning point for me took years of losing arguments against Conservatives, especially involving economics, and by slowly associating many Leftists with failing in life. However, the big thunderclap that changed my thinking towards the Democrat Party occurred was when I actually read one of the petitions I was gathering signatures for. It basically transferred radioactive waste contamination cleanup liability at the Hanford Nuclear Reversation from a defense contractor(s) and the Federal Government to Washington State Taxpayers. Although Washington State still has no income tax, sales taxes and low profile business taxes increased after the resolution represented by the petition, passed.

    Elite Trader is visited by a diverse audience that includes a wide political spectrum as well as an broad international audience. Vocations range from truck drivers, like myself, to captains of industry and legendary traders. Ages represented range from high school students to those born during WWII.

    As such, I try to write with consideration to this diverse audience in mind. Several meta themes I try to maintain is that I’m a representative, in a tiny way, of the United States and Donald Trump. I hope to show others the United States and Trump are not as bad as some in the media portray. Further, many people are undecided in their opinions. I especially wish to present my case to these people. Moreover, if I can change my stubborningly held belief systems, so can others. Hopefully those who continue to lose arguments and have to rely on deception in their frantic attempt to remain in contention will eventually see the light and will also change their belief systems towards the most productive.

    The questions I presented earlier, “How do you feel about the United States” and “How do you feel about Antifa” were designed to get the poster, as well as others, to critically think about what they are really representing, especially when their posts are not able to withstand scrutiny. They are often unable to support their statements often copied from discredited media outlets. Many times, they don’t even try, perhaps hoping a deflection or personal attack will avert attention elsewhere.

    So we fight the good fight and try to stay open minded. Especially in regards to far Left posters in that they may eventually see the light. Until then, let’s continue pressing on.

    This is like reading a talking point dispenser programmed by Mike Pence.

    Anybody who doesn't believe your BS is not far left, that's just your boomer programming at fault.

  10. Isn’t this at least the third time you’ve used “This is like reading a talking point dispenser programmed by Mike Pence.”? Don’t panic, I’m not going to bother doing a search on that phrase or its derivatives. Sounds like you’ve found copy and paste talking point you are comfortable with.

    In any event, you just don’t seem to be finding any way to refute or at least credibly attack what I’m saying.

    My suggestion to you is turn off CNN and learn the details of the various issues before arguing them. Then again, if you knew the details of the issues, you would likely join us on the Trump Train.

    Choo! Choo!
