Do you truly believe that Trump received 74 million votes?

Consider that his modus operandi is to project onto others what he himself is guilty of doing.

Also, when he says the election was "rigged", perhaps he rigged it?

There were some questionable numbers coming out of the states that used the ES&S voting machines.

Is it possible that he rigged those machines to get himself a few million extra votes and guarantee his re-election? Or does anyone think that he would never attempt something like that?

He was always questioning the mail-in ballots, with a paper trail, but never the voting machines that are capable of being manipulated?

I'm not so sure that he got 74 million votes. I think he may have cheated?

The Georgia election will tell us a lot.

We know where Trump and the elected Republicans in Washington stand. But, we don't know for sure exactly how many Republican voters agree with what they are presently doing?

It is possible to glean valuable information on election day. How many Republicans stay home out of disgust and disappointment in their Party? Probably very few? But we don't know for sure?

However, if they swarm to the polls on January 5th, we can write it all down. They are all the same. They have no principles and care very little about their country. They are in it for their Party and their Cult. That is what we will be able to take away from the Georgia election.

The voters and their elected Senators are in the same boat and we should make our decisions from that information. We should disavow any compromise with these types of people. We will know their true colors after the election in Georgia and we will know how many disagree with their Leaders?

What must "moderate" Republicans be thinking?

I dare not to generalize and believe that they are all anti-democracy and anti-America?

Some of them must be questioning how far their Party has sunk?

Some must be embarrassed?

What would need to happen for them to leave that cesspool?

It is a disgrace.

Have more Americans died in the first year of this pandemic than in the 1918 Flu Pandemic?

In total, more died in the 1918 pandemic, but it lasted until 1921-22.

Before this pandemic is over, more Americans may die than in the 1918 Pandemic?

It is heartbreaking that so many people are not taking it seriously.

How long after Trump leaves the White House until he meets with Putin??

I would say within a week or two, or sooner?

He has deals he needs to complete, in my opinion.

He still wants the Trump Tower in Moscow. Also, he still wants his cut from a nuclear deal with the Saudis.

He has not slowed down his dealing since he has been in the White House, he has only kept it more secretive.

Hopefully, the new regulation on money laundering - in the Defense Bill - will slow them down a bit? But, they will not stop their business model, in my opinion.

Do McConnell and Schumer hate each other?

I mean, do they despise each other to the point where one cannot talk with the other?

To me, that seems to be the case. Both want to be Majority Leader, that is a given.

But, how harmful is that when we are in a crisis such as we are in at present?

If true, is that really a good leadership argument for either of them?

I expect that many will jump to Schumer's defense?

In my opinion, we need new leadership throughout the entire Congress and Senate. They have failed us miserably during this crisis, with Trump and the pandemic.

Of course, we should never mention anything like this, otherwise stand accused of stirring up shit.

Josh Hawley is a lightweight.

He will not be the next Trump.

He does not have the international or the political connections nor the criminal background to be another "Trump".

Trump was a one-time scourge, which we will be very lucky when we rid ourselves of it.

In my opinion, Josh Hawley does not need to be built up as some political powerhouse. He has already created enemies in his own Party and does not have the skill or the experience to be the next Machivellian.

The most he can hope for is a large portion of Trump's base, which would be somewhere between 25% and 30% on a good day. He cannot garner the other Republicans, as Trump did.

The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

January 1, 2021

Why America has had to endure this ordeal?

The political system is broken. There is total lack of leadership from every quarter.

There was not even a small group of politicians that could come together to reassure the people that they were secure from the attacks upon our democracy. There was no leadership. The people have suffered from anxiety and uncertainty for too long.

America was/is like a rudderless ship upon the waters. There is no one to captain the ship and no one to tell the captain the directions. They are all lost in politics and power. They do not deserve the support of the American people.

This is just my opinion.
