This is absolutely what is called for now, during Democrat Bullshit 2.0. Fighting over how Republicans handled it.
Assuming Trump wins this in the end, which I do assume because it is likely, there will be a lot of "drumpf tore the constitution apart" arguments going forward. Will he? I doubt it. Could it look that way? Absolutely. Enough writers say so, then some shithead like you will come along in a hundred years and claim it, because they are so far removed from the total bullshit that Democrats did, they think they can claim such a thing.
If you want to blame a president for tearing apart the Constitution and shitting on it, start with Wilson.
Spez: Also, I am not a Yankee
As a long time passenger of the Trump Train, a banjo player, and connoisseur of bluegrass music, I'd say all trains bring me joy. Especially if they run over your grandmother who was running bootleg whiskey and got shot by the county sheriff after he drowned his own wife in the Ohio River because she found out he was also running a still that his boy was running to Harlin, KY and then turned into a guy that makes fried chicken for a living, after he shot a guy who happened to be a revenuer man whose brother died on top of Rocky Top mountain, TN....who was cheating with that same county sheriff's wife.
That could be, I really don't know. All I know is a lot of people are saying things they aren't totally sure about so I am limiting my exposure a bit.
I too found myself falling into that trap as I had people telling me things, I even made a tick tock post some days ago. And I hate that shit.
I had to take a step back, so I encourage everyone to take one too. I believe Trump and his actual team got this. The case is pretty strong. Let's just see what happens.
Lincoln didn't fuck it up. He responded with whatever means he had to try and preserve it, after Democrats did their best to tear it asunder.
And I suspect, President Trump in his second term will have similarly hard decisions to make. And I also suspect some guy on whatever form the internet is a hundred years from now will tell us that President Drumpf is at fault for everything going on then. Probably from Mars.
I don't disagree, in theory. But we haven't worked our way through that yet.
I will say that at the time that sentiment was created, the nation was nothing like it is now. And the man who said it, Jefferson, has more in mind the long-suffering of American colonists under the yoke of King George III and his government, seeing a parallel between Shay's Rebellion against Massachusetts' rather tyrannical governor and meager landowners who had lost much fighting in the Revolution. (The governor was wrong af and was voted out after Shay's Rebellion was put down...which means the system worked).
Jefferson had no idea what the US would become at that point, and was awash with French attitudes at the time (he was in France when he wrote it). And as we see the French took it to heart and basically reconstructed and destroyed their country for a century because of it, including one of the worst cases of wanton executions until WWII.
The Founders, and even Jefferson understood prior to the Revolution, that it was a grave undertaking to commit to war with one's own government. The colonial Americans tried all avenues they could and failed. It was at that point they committed to war, and the rest is history. And after failed attempts at creating a government that actually works, they came up with the Constitution and the quickly following Bill of Rights to cement their legacy as the most stable and widely representative document to create a nation in world history.
We still have avenues to explore. Don't take the words of a man fresh from Revolution, awash in French wine and sentiments to heart too dearly. You must travel his path first to see the point at which no other road is available. Because down that road is suffering, indignities, and damage that takes years to recover from. Not just for you, but for your children and their children.
The United States was not built in a day.
I don't completely trust Lin Wood. Well "trust" isn't the word exactly. More like, I am not sure how much info he has or how professional he is about it. He seems to like the limelight a bit too much.
What I do trust is how the Trump team is wording thins in legal documents and how they are going about it, as well as Trump himself pointing to very specific things.
Lin Wood is probably a "good guy" but I have my doubts as to if he has significantly more than we do to go on at this point.
But I will echo his sentiment. Trust in God. And trust in Trump. And if the system fails us, well, we do have that last box to open if necessary.
No offense, but we're trying to save the republic, not toss it into a war with itself. I'd prefer not having to wait a generation to get back to business.
We fight here in courts and things so we don't have to tear everything up fighting in a more literal fashion.
I get that AJ has a lot of fans, and Tim Pool isn't exactly super MAGA man and still seems too reliant on media sources that are obviously liars, but Tim did bring Alex on his show, knowing full well YouTube and others have banned people for showing Jones in the past, and that they're cracking down hard now.
And Tim has been reporting everything daily, knowing it's against the narrative even if he's not as committed to buying it. He's still reporting it.
A guy like Alex Jones would completely take over the show without being checked and frankly his tangents can be pretty off-putting to the average Trump supporter even. Tim Pool is also an obviously boring and news-obsessed individual, not a high energy personality like Jones.
But Tim is closer to what a real journalist would look like if we had real journalism. I'm not saying love him, we live in incredibly polarized times. But hating the guy while he's been rebuking so many media outlets lately and pointing out half a dozen times a day that the election isn't over isn't helpful.
The guy barely came to the Trump side and you expect him to just swallow up what Alex Jones has to say? He's still choking down the redpill.
The fact he had Jones on in the first place is surprising enough.
We aren't going to win hearts and minds with an all or none attitude. MAGA is big tent.
I have this sneaking suspicion that the "good stuff" various people are referring to has to be kept close to the vest until they can get physical access to ballots in recounts/audits. Otherwise fraudulent ballots might simply disappear without being able to be inspected.
Which might fix the election but not lead to criminal prosecutions.
All I know is a massive amount of traffic for these sites goes through data centers in northern Virginia and there were some pretty nasty storms yesterday. I'm not sure if there were power outages or not, and generally speaking backup power systems are pretty robust, but it could have had something to do with that.
Here is the link to the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPwFEgl_Tk0
I don't have a link to the specific time Gregg was on there.
Only on Twitter.
Normal people are looking at this and saying "wtf?. My neighbor is a typical DC democrat, works for the government pushing paper. And I went out today to rearrange some stuff in my work van, and he was like "hey I know you like Trump, but what is going on?".
We talked for a bit, and he said he voted for Biden and hates Trump (big surprise buddy) but he's not liking this one bit. Says it looks like his party cheated. I tried to be diplomatic and said "all these fuckers cheat". But he said "yeah not like this, I don't like this".
There are a lot of awful people on the internet that are totally OK with stealing an election. The same people who want to put us all in camps. But the average "orange man bad" Democrat doesn't really like how this is playing out. They want a clean win just as much as anyone does. I really think this is gonna be a giant red pill after all is said and done. My neighbor ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's no dummy either. He sees it and it's a big gut punch for him.
You;re living with an old idea, CONSTRUCTED by old Southern Democrats, self-appointed aristocrats who wanted a certain way of life and didn't give a fuck about you. After the civil war, they move to the big cities in the north.
And many generations later, you still are mad and turn your anger not on Democrats, but on Republicans.
Says more about you than it does about me.
