    #7 Dave, you are better than this.
    So who’s the deep state? Bill Barr? Federal judges that Trump appointed? The SCOTUS? Trumps DOJ? Trumps FBI? The Republican governors that certified the results? The Republican CISA Chief that was appointed by Trump? The Republican election officials? Chris Christie?
    My God this is utter madness. The guy lost. I’m sorry but it’s over. People don’t like him and the election was a repudiation of his failure to lead. He never cracked 50% approval and was mostly hovering in the high 30s low 40s.

    #5 is right. This is fascism. He is trying to use intimidation to overturn the will of the people. It’s a terrifying overreach and an assault on democracy.

You are totally in tinfoil hat territory. How many “dead” people voted in Belmar? What did your outing of everyone’s ballot mailing addresses yield? anything???

    Even though we’ve been entertaining this for over a month, I’ll indulge you all some more. We wouldn’t do this for any other person on the planet (imagine if Biden lost the electoral college AND the popular vote yet refused to concede. No really, try to imagine), and I certainly wouldn’t let my children behave in such a manner, but lets indulge this fantasy a bit longer.
    Please post the evidence. Please post any evidence at all. Now there have been over three dozen suits that have been thrown out of court. Most of the suits actually didn’t charge that there was any fraud at all, just that voting by mail is bad and should therefore not count. However, this is your platform, admin. Show us. Show us how the democrats and some republicans worked in conjunction to pull off the biggest crime of the century. Here is a list of things that don’t count as evidence as per the constitution and precedent law:
    Hearsay
    Innuendo
    Accusation
    Uncorroborated stories
    Theories
    Sour grapes
    Edited videos that have been debunked by election officials
    And other stories that are unsupported by actual corroboration or facts
    I know it sucks that you can’t present any of the above as credible evidence, but believe me, it wouldn’t suck if you were the one being charged with something. We are, thank God, still a country of laws.

    So, let us have it. Post all the evidence that shows a massive, coordinated effort to somehow steal votes only from Trump while giving more to Biden. But please, treat this like a court of law. In other words you can’t produce things like a person who talked to a friend in PA that swears she saw a mail truck driven into the Schuylkill River and she’s pretty sure it was filled with Trump ballots. No stuff like that please. I’ll make it easy, you only have to produce the evidence in battleground states. Hell, lets make it just PA MI and GA. You have the floor, and, because of the pesky constitution, you also have the burden of truth. Have at it.

    Broken Record, Trump being president was never accepted for 4 years with the Democratic American traitors. To say “this hasn’t gone on long enough?” is laughable. How long is long enough for the infant Democrats? Did Dems ever accept Trump as your president?

    #15 I assume you are not providing evidence of voter fraud because that isn’t evidence. It’s your perspective. I remember when Obama was president. There were those on the right that literally said ‘he’s not my president’. Bumper stickers, chants at protests, etc. There was even a movement claiming that he was a Muslim, a terrorist, and not born in the US. McConnell said, and I quote, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president”. He said that during an interview nearly two years into Obama’s first term. So all things being equal, that means that McConnell and the republicans are all American Traitors. Right? Or are you suggesting that one side is allowed to be critical of a president but another side is not allowed. God I hope that’s not what you’re saying. It does reek of tin pot dictatorship, so it makes sense that you’d feel that way.

    #16 Trump is neither a good doctor nor a good president. He isn’t even a good businessman. He’s a good con artist. That’s his skill. I have objectively looked at his ‘accomplishments’. He’s has a couple. Normalization of ties with Israel with a few Arab countries is one. He’s not the first prez to achieve that, but hey, credit. Other than that? We are in deeper debt than ever. The job market is in the crapper. A large majority of Americans think were are on the wrong track (long before this election btw) and blatant acts of racism and violence are up. I guess you feel that is America being great again. But not me. And not 80 million other Americans. Trump will fade back into celebrity status in the private sector. He’ll file for bankruptcy (unless suckers keep giving him money but that’s for another day) and he’ll deal with the many investigations into his financial shenanigans. Eventually we’ll all move on. God bless America.

    Seems to me that parents have sacrificed their children, knowing that they would be separated at the border. Parent’s fault, and bleeding hearts should get realistic. Who would do that? People who may not really want their kids. Dump them on the U.S. Cold hard fact. I don’t hate kids, just believe that if people have children, they should take care of and support them.

    More on topic, it is not Admin’s role to provide evidence about voter fraud. Watch Fox News and learn for yourselves, unless remaining uninformed makes one feel confident and self-justified. Rely on mainstream media reporting and be spoon-fed what the moneyed powers want you to believe. What moneyed powers? Big tech, Wall Street, Hollywood leftists, like Jane Fonda. And the guys behind Facebook and Google, for example. Kiss freedom goodbye and wonder later what happened. Nothing snowflakey about that.

They contradict the above mentioned personalities on a daily basis. They have to follow journalistic standard and therefore point out on a daily basis that there is no evidence of voter fraud. So maybe you should watch that. And no, it’s not admin’s job to post evidence of voter fraud, but why wouldn’t he? Oh right, there is none. Sorry.

    The court’s 5-3 ruling means that absentee ballots will be counted only if they are in the hands of municipal clerks by the time polls close on Nov. 3.

    The justices determined the courts shouldn’t be the ones to decide the election rules amid the coronavirus pandemic that is surging in Wisconsin and across the world.

    This “lawsuit’ was never intended to win. I’m assuming those of you on here that supported it, haven’t read it. It doesn’t allege any serious fraud. It mostly contends that the other states, states Trump lost, have unconstitutional voting laws. So Texas, a state that prides itself on independence, wants to change the laws in other states. That is pretty hypocritical. I don’t think Texas would be too happy if another state tried to change it’s laws and I can’t imaging any republican or libertarian being ok with one state telling another state how to behave.
    But like I said, this was never intended to win. Any first year law student could see that. It was intended to sew mistrust in our election system. And it was a pretty obvious plea from Texas AG Paxton for a pardon from Trump. Paxton is currently dealing with a federal criminal investigation. I guess the silver lining is that Trump may have inadvertently pulled off the biggest voter suppression scam in the history of out country. His supporters no longer trust the system, so now maybe they’ll stop voting. That’s what the eastern philosophers call karma.

For example, a Nazi who tortured certain people because of their ethnicity will experience painful prejudice in a future time or incarnation. That is balance.

    Supporting the policies and practices of Trump AND being a Buddhist doesn’t work. It’d be like claiming to be a vegetarian while eating a steak. It’s actually the opposite of living in the real world. But you go girl, he’s gonna need more of your money to stay out of prison. ha

Over the last four years we have witnessed a top down erosion of compassion. It has been replaced with hubris, conceit, greed, and dishonesty. I am very grateful that it is nearly over.

    100 – Sir, I will proceed as if you asked a legitimate question. But understand these are my thoughts. I cannot be moved from them. I’m not discussing.
    —————————————–
    Take the post of #97 for my reference. What he doesn’t understand about “law” is that law is not a static thing. Law moves and pulsates. At the end of everything, it comes down to the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Our people these days can only deal in the letter of the law (they’re conditioned to do so through the new manner of living) because they lack experience to do otherwise because of their inexperience. They have never tested themselves as men and have set up a concept of life that physical comfort is all that life is about. Then there’s that part of the law that is the spirit of the law which is just as important as the letter. When a person[s] violate this spirit of the law, it is a crime just as much as the criminal robbing a bank.
    ———————————-
    I’ll talk about the illegal aliens for a bit. They come here illegally, reside here illegally, work here illegally, take/steal our benefits illegally and even the act of copulation actually is a criminal act that results in issue/children. The child born here therefore cannot be and is not a citizen because he/she is the issue of a long line of illegal activities in gross violation of our laws. Of course, our leadership validates their actions because they’re prisoners of the letter of the law through their inexperience.
    ———————————–
    As to our judicial and legislative “leadership”. They are weak, stupid people who are just opportunists and have zero interest in the welfare of the nation/community. Here and there, there is a good American but he is checkmated before he even attempts to do something for the American people.
    ——————————-
    I’m part of the problem myself. I saw how people were changing and didn’t understand what I was seeing. I would have thought it was amusing if what I saw men doing and not doing in my trade wasn’t so serious/dangerous. The men had less and less physical, mental and emotional ability to do the work each day. Their focus became dollars. I just wasn’t able to understand what was happening until now. Now I understand fully and am roundly condemned which doesn’t bother me.
    ————————————
    Lastly, this all started by attempting to do something good (I had a ringside seat to that start). So remember the old saying, “no good turn goes unpunished.” I will not get into what that “good” was because most people are unable to digest such thoughts. I hope this has been helpful to you.

    #109- Mr D so you equate fleeing desperate conditions and taking a perilous journey in order to provide for your children with Bernie Madoff? I assume the thread of logic is that they both represent theft. Madoff stole money and the illegal immigrants steal services. Let’s forget for a moment that most of the immigrants work for a living and have enabled some local entrepreneurs to grow their businesses to impressive levels. And let’s forget for a moment that if they aren’t paying income taxes it is because the white American boss isn’t paying them on the books. And let’s forget that they pay sales tax on the items they purchase. And let’s forget that they indirectly pay property taxes because they live in houses that are owned by landlords that pay property taxes. When you’re on a walk try not to notice every landscaping crew and the men working on every new house that’s going up and the guy taking out the garbage at the restaurant or the ladies pulling up to the large house with cleaning supplies. Try to ignore all that so that you can pretend these humble folks are like Bernie Madoff or Donald Trump or Jeff Bezos or Apple Corp or Nike or any of the million of other individuals and corporations that ACTUALLY are guilty of theft of services. I know, it’s easy for a person like you to focus your impotent rage on the downtrodden. They’re easier to spot and it helps you to avoid acknowledging the ‘new manner of living’ that is really going on around you.
