I campaigned for Paul. We planned for months. Infiltrated the Republican Party with Paul loyalists. Went door to door gathering signatures to get him on the primary ballot in VA as a republican because unless you have a D or R by your name, you don’t get elected.
A few days before the primary the Romney camp discovers they don’t have enough signatures for him to be on the primary ballot. They gathered the required signatures over night.
Nobody would verify them, no Republican leadership cared to check them. Republicans didn’t want “signature match” then, they don’t want it now. Romney was the candidate and the primary was all for show.
We still had plan B though. Go to Tampa and have the Paul loyalists vote for him there. The GOP changed the rules at the last minute so that they couldn’t. I realized then that the Republicans were no better than Democrats. It’s all a big game to keep each other rich.
I thought Trump was getting into the game for the same reason in 2016. I voted for Johnson. By 2020 I’d seen his true colors and I voted to have him re-elected. Now we see the “RINOs” and Democrats working together in broad daylight to oust him.
God save us if this bullshit election gives us a puppet President.
If I were Trump I’d wait and see how much support I get on the 6th.
Millions show up in DC and start taking apart the capital? Martial law, new elections, tribunals.
Nobody shows up? Sad day for America. If he moves without support they’ll string him up. We have to show him we mean business!
The two next big “Happenings” that I think we can realistically look forward to are the delivery of the assessment on foreign interference to the President and the electoral vote count on January 6th.
The assessment was supposed to be delivered today but ODNI said they would miss that date so let’s hope we get an early Christmas present.
We’ll know the situation by Jan 11th at the latest. Once the electoral vote count starts They’re SUPPOSED to finish within 5 days.
If the counting process goes to Biden it’ll be because our legislature has failed to do its job.
At that point our courts and legislature have failed us and the only option left will be executive interference or an uprising by the people. If President Trump doesn’t “cross the Rubicon” at that point he never intended to.
I am not a doctor. It was well publicized when research started that some vaccine trials may not produce a good vaccine, if they could do it at all. It’s also why we see vaccines with different efficacy rates. Not very vaccine works the same way.
The aggregate survival rate isn’t as concerning to me as the long-term effects of Covid. We can see COVID causes long-term heart and possibly brain damage in some cases, along with who knows what else. It’s too soon to tell.
That being said, with the vaccines being rushed we don’t know the long-term effects of them either. It’s really a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation but on one side grandma doesn’t have a 50%+ chance of dying from the vaccine.
There are different version because they didn’t know when they started research into it which one would work. Don’t put all your eggs in one. Basket.
The common cold is caused by a whole list of viruses, not just rhino or corona.
They don’t believe they’ve isolated a solution to all the strains. Just like a flu vaccine sometimes misses the dominant strain, this vaccine was made to target the dominant COVID strain. If new versions emerge we’ll likely need new vaccines and probably are going to end up with a yearly coronavirus vaccine too.
He’s doing it because the virus is real and the older you are the greater chance you have of dying from it.
President Trump has tweeted to take the vaccine. Pence is getting it live.
You either have to believe Trump or believe the conspiracy. You can’t do both.
It’s unclear who’s responsible just yet.
A malicious piece of software was disguised as a legitimate part of the SolarWinds software. SolarWinds is used to monitor IT infrastructure so it has pieces installed on a lot of different parts of a network.
The malicious software was communicating out at a minimum so data was likely stolen. We’re still investigating the full scope of what was done.
The building it was parked in front of shows an address for AT&T. Not sure if just a store or if at&t infrastructure is housed there.
AT&T owns CNN.
