This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven,
that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and NOT TO YIELD.

Republicans just need a guy with more self control and less ego.  If Trump ends up losing AZ a big deciding factor is he insulted McCain.  McCain was a POW which makes him a hero in my eyes.  Not smart of Trump at all.

This won’t be finalized for a while.

But if Republicans can’t bring themselves to primary the otherwise-silent GOP Reps and senators telling trump to not make a fuss, 4 more years of trump mean nothing in the long run.

Hint: it’s not the Dems who are the true obstacle here to what you want to have happen in politics.  Example, in the past 4 years I see complaints that trump can’t get his appointees through the senate, yet the same red senators manipulating parliamentary procedures to never allow Trump the opportunity to make recess appointments keep getting re-elected.  It’s unheard of to prevent a president from your own party from making recess appointments

The call is coming from inside the house

McCain also spent his entire congressional career chasing the media so they'd suck his dick (figuratively speaking). And as a result, he was utterly undependable when it came to any kind of non-statist -- not even conservative, but just not fucking statist -- principles or votes.

I could respect him for his time in the military and his endurance of captivity. But he was utterly useless as a congresscritter. There's a reason I referred to him as 'the least repulsive Democrat'.

They are trying to tell us Michigan increased voting from 4.8 million in 2016 to 5.5 million in 2020. I expect many of these votes are fraudulent. I just don't see that kind of vast increase in participation.

What's hilarious is that the prize, for the Dems, is almost worthless. GOP retains control of the Senate, which means they're dealing with Cocaine Mitch. And the Dems have already set the precedent for challenging presidential EOs through lawfare.

My personal favorite hallucination is still the blathering about charging Trump for 'war crimes'. I guess he didn't start enough wars or sustain them...

Here's another one, more votes than voters in 7 Milwaukee wards. Do I believe stories like this coming out or do I believe the party that tells me there is no voter fraud ever and voter ID is white supremacy?

Even if Biden wins, ya'all ain't doing shit but belly ache online. You're ALL MOUTH and nothing else, just like the emotionally stunted Tangency crowd. 

Trump still has 4 states he will likely win, including PA. There will be a recount in WI. The Donald even picked up one electoral vote in Maine. You all need to calm the fuck down.

Disgusting. If I was Trump, I'd be ashamed to count on any of you panicky bunch of hens.

One of the reasons people are 'panicky' is the sheer amount of thrice-damned bullshit masquerading as news. Here, have a taste: news agencies are claiming John James (GOP) lost against Dem Gary Peters, and that Biden took Michigan.

And then you look at this: https://mielections.us/election/results/2020GEN_CENR.html

I'm sorry, does that look like a Biden win to you? Or a Peters win? And before someone says 'deepfake', that's through the michigan.gov website. Go there, search 'election', select 'current election results' and go to the General Election link.

Me, I'm just moderately pissed they're being so blatantly dishonest about things. At least fucking TRY to pull the wool over my eyes.

The government page does show Biden and Peters ahead. Are you saying that information is incorrect?

Yeah, when all the mainstream media tells us there's no voter fraud, and yet fraud stories are popping up like spring flowers...
We know Democrat fraud rarely gets punished. It is frustrating, and toxic to the future of the US. People will continue to lose faith in all the institutions.

*dies laughing at himself*

Well, that's what I get. The page just updated -- I was looking at one from 11/4/2020 at 11pm or so, and the new one does show them in the lead.

Guess the Dems were working extra hard to churn out those ballots.

Y'all don't give any weight to stories of "racism" and other bullshit, but you're willing to believe this based on some crank with a youtube account.  ::)

You're just another side of the same coin with SJWs. It's dissappointing as hell.

Disappointing? You expected better? Here? Many of the posters here seem to get their reality straight out of heavily biased YouTube videos and don't question it. Conspiracy theories are held as truth and mainstream views are taken as being conspiracies. Don't be disappointed, learn to view it as the twisted entertainment it is once you realize nothing here is real.

It is of course ludicrous to think anyone would cheat in an election.  People cheat on their spouses, cheat on taxes, cheat on tests, cheat in sports.  But, luckily humans, and especially Americans, have a built in complete and utter aversion to cheating in elections.  There is really no need to even bother looking into it, since we never look too hard for it we have no evidence, and since we have no evidence, no need to look too hard.
  Racism, of course exists.  We can even to change the definition, if needed, to help find it.
