[QUOTE=Bullett64;5160892]Will this statement be accurate for the Republicans in four years? Or will they do everything possible to obstruct the Biden administration? We need to come together as a country and put aside party politics. Is anyone ever going to start the process? I for one am not optimistic.[/QUOTE]Unfortunately the Republicans, who are too stupid and self-serving to obstruct anything, won't have to obstruct Biden because he is not going to be around long enough to obstruct. I agree with you that we need to come together as country but we won't. We can't. Too many things are in place now to prevent the coming catastrophe. I believe that a lot of Trump haters are now beginning to understand what they have voted for, something that will be far, far worse than the bad orange man. Take cover if you can.

I do not recall the Dems reaching across on much of anything except maybe, the Mex\Canada replacement for NAFTA. But even under complete Rep control when Trump first took office that military hating Paul Ryan would not give Trump the time of day.

[QUOTE=ComTech42;5160905]With Joe Biden at the Helm and Schumer / Pelosi / McConnell as the OOD's the ship of State is on a dangerous course. Sit back and listen to the fore flushers flush. Donald Trump fulfilled his commitments to public. The Professional Politicians never do. Professional Politicians always blame the other guy for why they cannot do what they said they will do.[/QUOTE]Mitch is just as much a product of the swamp as Queen Nancy and Joe & his Ho! They all need to go. Wait, I did not mean for that to rhyme.

[QUOTE=JMAbacus;5161153]Well, I voted for Donald in his second election (voted for Hilary in his first) because the Biden alternative didn't appeal to me from a long term economic prosperity perspective. Yes, I thought he mostly tried to do what he promised during his first campaign and did a pretty good job until the debate fiasco which obviously just got worse. Not sure I've seen it mentioned, but it certainly appears that The Donald has completely lost his cookies. Babbling up until the end that Mike will fix it. Completely unhinged and detached from reality. I think his mental lapse eclipses even Richard Nixon which is a high bar to exceed. His family and enablers should have sought medical treatment before this latest collapse.[/QUOTE]IMHO, Trump blew it when the election results were obvious. But, having said that let me completely give you my opinion.

If you believe there was zero fraud, zero funny business, and a lot of questionable issues in the election, you are an idiot.

If you believe the election was stolen through fraud, funny business and questionable voting, you are also an idiot.

If you believe that all of the fraud, funny business and questionable voting was insufficient to change the final outcome (Biden won. Unfortunately), then you show that you can truly sit back and analyze a situation objectively.

Biden did NOT win. The outcome was pre-determined months ago. The Dems were frantic in demanding that voting rules be changed due to the virus situation, a situation that they were complicit in creating precisely to achieve victory in Nov. , and now they have done it. For example, several key states stopped the process on election night at the same time and resumed at the same time the next day. Was this by magic or a by a miracle of coincidence? You tell me. Trump was ahead in those states at the time their operatives stopped the process and when they resumed he was behind. It gave them time to decide how to turn the vote around in Biden's favor and they achieved their goal. This doesn't even take into account the fraud of being able to manipulate voting machines through the Dominion system. Trump should have won this election by at least 5 million votes but it does not matter now. Biden is the token "president" until Kamala takes over for him sometime later this year. 75 million of us believe this election was determined by fraud as do a sizable number of Democrats as well. If you wish to believe that we are all idiots then that is your choice and your right to believe what you will. Unfortunately you won't see this until the poison dominoes begin to fall and by then it will be far too late. In fact, it's too late already. Like the old song says, a bad moon is rising and we will all pay for it very soon.

Did too! At each other. When an adult finally steps in to break it up, all that can be determined is that both are sure they are correct, neither knows exactly what caused the fight nor who actually started it, and frequently that they aren't really sure what the fight is actually about.

The only difference between this and politics, is that the six-year-olds will be best friends again in about five minutes. The politicians are not that smart or mature.

The right has conveniently forgotten the stance taken by GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republicans after Barack Obama became the duly elected president (winning both the popular vote and Electoral College). GOP Senator McConnell vowed to make Obama a one-term president while the House Republicans branded themselves as the "Party of No" throughout his two terms in office.

That was just one major eye opener for me. Now with that being said I'm not overly political and I do realize if I did more research and cared a little well a lot more than I currently do that maybe I would be republican instead of democratic. But it doesn't take much to realize that Trump is a baboon leading a bunch of blind sheep. I seriously don't understand how people can truly defend this man. The complete opposite of class. And a complete joke but most Americans are so delusional in thinking this country is the best in the world when they don't rank in the top in any category except military. Probable not in the top 10 in any other category. It's been a while since I seen the stats but you get my meaning. So why rationalise with people who are so delusional. It's like thinking your superior to other people, not based on physical and intellectual aspects of biology but your skin color. We just got to let nature take its course and hopefully that gets handled in the next 100 years or so.

Yes, he is a narcissist but he was also the ONLY person in my 60 years that actually did everything he said he was going to do or at least did everything he could in order to keep his campaign promises. He had a whole lot of politicians scared they would get exposed for the corrupt people they are and removed from their thrones of power. Both sides, need to seriously start cleaning house beginning with the top dogs on both sides of the aisle.

Bravo my friend, bravo.[/QUOTE]As I stated previously, there was definitely fraud, questionable voting & counting practices and all that. But if the Dems really went to all that trouble to rig an election then why in Hell did they not ensure they gained the Senate back in October and also not lose 12 seats in the house. Just does not compute.
