    Its a sad way to view what's been happening in this Presidential election but true. Also, my views has recently changed about a "landslide victory is needed" to prevent chaos.

    I did not consider that one of them can get a landslide victory in the ballots but each state won may have had a very close vote count. Thus, each state won via a very close vote count can be easily taken to court about its results. :(

  2. Preventing the mail-in vote to reach true has been Trump's plan since spring and is the reason for Louis DeJoy was appointed to the position of postmaster and the reason for DeJoy's crippling of the USPS.

    In Pennsylvania, this has perhaps affected rural counties where Trump is favored more than Trump and DeJoy had anticipated.

    Many folks in Philly and the surrounding counties said "fuck the mail" and hand delivered their ballots to ballot drop boxes or the county election office.

    A land slide for Biden, which seems like the stuff of pipe dreams to me, would be preferred because if the count isn't close, then should shut down much of the Trump's planned for post-election litigation aimed at disqualifying ballots. If it is close, Trump will play his litigious games to the hilt. but if he does move forward with ballot rejection, he will find that he may any success he has will spill over into counties he should expect to run up big numbers as well.

    What a mess. I'm old enough to remember when Americans would have rejected Trumpian authoritarianism wholesale.

    I noticed the polling frequency on national polls these last few weeks seems to be less than half what it was during 2016.

    I also would suspect there is a reason for that.

    I am old enough to remember when the press actually would have challenged biden's ethics and made sure his party rejected him long before he got to be where he is...

    now the media and tech has been rigging this for biden to an unimaginable degree.

    Nothing about Trumps power is authoritarian..
    he got rolled by Ryan and McConnell and the democrats on so many important issues.

    Big tech and media's control of speech and info is far more authoritarian than anything Trump has done or could do. They are the massive risk to our future freedom's all over the world.

    but tell me how Russian disinformation had no influence on your vote in 2016

    I was for Cruz or Paul and a never Clinton.
    The fake news media had no impact on me.

    But... Trump's agenda was stalled to large degree from Russian disinformation and your team's crooked media.

    The only impactful disinformation I know of was the "oppo research dirt" Hillary's team purchased from the Russian's and places in the "dossier."

  7. Biden's ethics? Is this a joke? If they had anything at all Barr would have indicted him. They got nothing. Meanwhile, how many people in Trump's organization have been indicted? What about the Trump University scamming settlement?

  8. Russian disinformation stalled Trump when he had the White House, Senate and Congress all GOP controlled?

    Trump stalled himself at every turn only getting a tax cut which every GOP Senate can pass on their own no problem.

    If every legitimate ballot is counted, Trump wins.

  10. I did not know Hillary was Russian. Does Hillary’s “Basket of deplorables” seem similar to George Bush’s “You are either with us or against us”? That is, if you don’t agree with a political leader’s opinion, you are deplorable or an enemy? George Bush and family have endorsed Biden. Can you remember all the things the Left has said about George W. Bush, such as he was a corupt, racist Nazi? Birds of a feather flock together, don’t they? Now that Bush is on your side, tell us how you really feel about him.
