I wish something dramatic was about to happen. I think not, unfortunately.
Call me a doomer, and I'd like to bookmark this to hopefully show just how wrong I am. If I'm wrong here, no one will celebrate more than me!
I suspect, however, that exactly nothing dramatic is going to happen. Biden will be inaugurated without drama. President Trump will leave peacefully. That's it.
And a lot of GOP types will say, "Well, we're going to primary those SOBs.". And Dominion will make sure that doesn't happen.
I'm sorry folks, I'm all out of hopium...
You are spot-on here. If you don't mind, I'm going to share that on my mewe page. Brilliant!
I looked back through many of your posts, and I LIKE the way you think. I wish there was a way to "follow" someone here. You're very insightful.
Conservative news channel, roll-your-own version:
Generate your own electricity, run power lines to the building you built, without loans, on property you already owned.
Probably can buy the computers, video production equipment, through a shell company to hide the purchaser.
Launch your own satellites to relay the signals. Oh, first build your own rocket company.
Hire former Trump Team members, since none have jobs anyway.
Maybe that would get you past the people who will shut this effort down. It won't be easy to do.
President Trump is actively telling the people not to protest. Think about that.
They have so thoroughly propagandized the public that those with legitimate concerns are being suppressed.
Actual banana republics are studying this for new ideas.
My nephew became a high school history teacher. He was brought up in a conservative home. In a very short time, he was spouting all the lefty points. This came to a head around the 2016 election, when I finally unfriended my own nephew from Facebook! He was so offensively leftist, and completely unaware, I couldn't take it anymore.
I confronted him about it at a family gathering, one of the last times I saw him. He said as a teacher he could NOT go against the PC culture, or he risked not gaining tenure. Tenure, the holy grail of teachers. Imagine a job where you virtually cannot be fired for anything, as long as you demonstrate your willingness to be "one of the team". It's disgusting.
According to this, "she" played middle linebacker:
I see this, and have been seeing it for weeks, months now. And yet we have lost everything at every step of the way. What does this "win" look like?
I'm not saying it won't happen, but I'm just so burned out from repeated hope and failure cycles. I may have a concussion from futile kicking at Lucy's football....
We may be the first nuclear armed, third-world superpower. This is a mind-boggling thought....
We have a demented pedophile with his finger on the nuclear launch button. Backed up by an avowed Marxist.
What could go wrong??
What you say about people voting for Obama is largely true, and is largely why I lost all faith in the electorate as a result. If they'd ignore him for what he was, and vote for him because he had a nice smile, well, we're lost. That's EXACTLY why I was so disappointed back then.
At least the 2nd Obama term gave us President Trump. I agree Romney would have been just as bad, maybe worse, and we would not have had Trump.
My faith in the American election system took a huge hit in 2012. I figured in 2008, enough people were so enamored with proving America wasn't racist that they'd vote for the "black" candidate, just to prove how noble and virtuous they were.
Well, 4 years of the Obama nightmare surely revealed how big of a mistake it was electing that Marxist.
And then 2012 happened, and he was, by hook or by crook, reelected. I said, "Alright, that's it, we're done for. We're too stupid or corrupted to govern ourselves anymore.".
And then 2016 happened. I was so surprised that Wednesday morning when I got up, I couldn't believe that Trump had actually won! I thought, "Hoo boy, Hillary's crew screwed that up. They didn't know how hard they'd have to cheat to win, and they slipped up. They sure as hell won't let that happen again. This is going to be a wild 4 years!".
And guess what, that's exactly how it has turned out.
Amateur radio service is explicitly non-commercial. Aggressively so. Monetizing over ham services would be absolutely against current laws, rules.
There are experiments with networking, like setting up ad hoc emergency wifi access and so on.
A large problem is the speed of most anything done over typical radio frequencies is very slow. Microwave stuff can be pretty fast, of course.
It occurred to me very early, that this Wuhan bug was accidentally released too early. It has characteristics to be capable of a very deadly pandemic, but it isn't. It has the spreading ability, the contagion rate, and so on to be very dangerous, but it's only accidentally so.
It's possible this was just the delivery organism for the truly deadly DNA strand, but it wasn't inserted. They had completed the delivery vehicle, but the cargo wasn't loaded. And then, oopsie, the delivery vehicle got out. Turns out that it was just harmful enough to work absolute magic on a world scale.
It just need the chimeric capability to mutate often enough to prevent vaccines from being effective, and add in something like an Ebola bleed-out function. This is the plot of countless movies and TV shows, by the way. But it's possible.
Oh, all I was referring to is the general meme here that President Trump is going to pull some 11th-hour miracle, something that overturns the inauguration of Biden.
Something, anything, military, legal, any sort of colossal disruptor, seems always to be the next "It's happening!" hope here. At this point, I just can't see it.
