Remember, hacking of voter machines was considered a serious possibility by "experts" when Trump won, but now, it's a conspiracy theory when Biden looks to be the "winner".

Greetings!

Exactly, my friend! You know, I have read numerous articles, reports and testimonies--by both Republicans but also especially Democrats--going back several years that brought up deep concerns over voting by mail in ballots, and also using Dominion and Smartmatic voting machines. Lots of suspicions and problems--but now, somehow, as long as Trump was defeated, there's no worries? There's nothing to see here?

The self-interest, the swarmy duplicity of the Democrats is galling.

Now though, anyone that voices dissent, that questions these procedures and machines is somehow a fucking conspiracy theorist and a nutter? I don't think so. I think there are valid concerns, and full and thorough investigations need to be carried out--and not just gargling, smug, rubber-stamp assertions and condescending reassurances.

Semper Fidelis,

I'd like it if you don't reply to any of my posts, SHARK. I'll do likewise going forward.

Quote from: EOTB on December 08, 2020, 06:12:13 PMor that you inherently disrespect the people you're responding to

It's not inherent. The disrespect was earned. If you continue to behave like gullible asshole nutcases, eventually you lose respect. It's like we're debating with the guy ranting about religion on the street corner who is covered in his own filth. We get it - you lost your fucking minds and are demanding everyone else join you in your insanity. Which gets me my sympathy for your plight, but not my respect.



I have no doubt the the king felt the same way in the 1770's.  I guess he made a slight miscalculation or two as to how easily a bit of nutty ranting was going to blow over.

Just more bullshit internet tough guy bluff.

The Supreme Court, and the lower courts and investigations, will all conclude there is no case to be made here. The electors will certify Biden won. Biden will be sworn in. There will be no civil war. All that will be left is a bunch of idiots bitching whining moaning and complaining like the sore losers they are that the election was stolen like Bigfoot believers.

You want to think this will be like the Revolutionary war? Cool story broheim. When that doesn't happen, then what? How stupid do you think will you look when Biden is sworn in and nothing else happens? Yes, more stupid than you're thinking you will look.

You think there is some special permanent movement going on with Trumpism, but it's not. It's just going into the scrap heap with the Tea Party, and then the Religious Right before them. The overwhelming majority of the 20th and 21st century has just be ordinary Republicanism, with some drift to neo cons. None of which is Trumpism, and none of which will be Trumpism ever again. Your guy flamed out, and went down looking like a whiny little pussy bitch doing it. Voters are not going to want to associate with such a loser any more. Americans don't like losers.
I am not going to be anywhere near a civil war, nor do I predict same.  You assume lots of things.  I would also say, you are far removed from the real life grumbling going out here in flyover country.  I have no idea when we begin to see harsh civil unrest.  We have already seen impeachment, investigations of in coming administrations, cities burning.... Do you need to see massive groups of people shooting at one another to be clued in things may not run in the future as they always have?   I do not know where in the 1770's we are right now, maybe 1770?   Trump is not my guy.  I was shocked that a politician decided to take US interests to heart first for a change, and be vocal about it.   If you think that is going away, you may be the stupid one.

You mean the way you did in 2017?  Doubtful.  I do not expect some legal blockage of a national election, even if it could be proven beyond all doubt democrats rigged it.  It would literally tear the country in half, with blood and fire.  I do find it odd some states stand at hard odds with others legally, seems I have heard that tune before.

Well, all you've done is REEEE at the dissenters in this area, other than one snotty comment in the RPG forum sniping at someone.

Damn, EOTB. A US Congresswoman threatening Trump supporters with violence? Jaw dropping. It's so incredible what Leftist Democrats can get away with in this country, with our media. *SHARK shakes head in dismay and disgust* I know, I know, nothing that is crazy, low, and treacherous from the Democrats should really surprise me anymore, but somehow, these kinds of episodes of hatred from them still does. *Sigh* And they claim to be "Americans". They talk out of the other side of their mouth about "Healing and Unity". And these frothing at the mouth demagogues full of hate towards Americans wonder with amazement why many Americans are talking of the coming civil war?

Hi shark,

Michigan state assembly rather than US congress, but yes.

This was the same person who used her one question to ask the one of the people testifying about fraud before the Michigan assembly, to please spell out their last name and also their maiden name.
