Election Aftermath

[Michchamp]

I can't dispute that. Heck ... that implies to the entire history of the US.

I generally agree, but we stopped fighting slaveowners too soon. Sherman should've marched through every Confderate state and meted out the same treatment he dealt Georgia.

Wow...the trial vote is happening now...

 

[tinselwolverine]

Seven Republicans vote guilty...one or two more than expected.

Not enough to convict.

So now this shit is - hopefully - over.

After having voted to acquit, McConnell is ripping Trump a new asshole on the floor of the Senate.

Very brave.

Are the repodems done wasting everybody’s time now. I’m guessing not

Fortunately nobody cares though now, so that’s good

I think people are going to accuse me of hacking Champ's account! In my own defense, I am not sophisticated enough to use the word met...mete...meter...meted... yeah, that's the one. LOL

That would have taken awhile and that was the purpose of "Radical" Reconstruction. Sherman's was to "break the will" of the resistance.

Grant took some significant steps as president to suppress the Klan and minimize violence against blacks, though it was virtually impossible to eliminate. Once Hayes bargained for the end of Reconstruction to become president, well ... Rutherford B. Hayes didn't have much leverage anyway as a pledged one-term president and a Democratic Congress, and Tilden would have also ended Reconstruction.

I'm also reminded that Sherman himself was not a supporter of Reconstruction.

Probably.

Stop lying.

You contacted me off the board and asked me ?which word is Champ most obviously going to use? and I answered ?meted.?

Who wouldn?t have figured that out?

I heard part of a podcast from Johnathan Swan that thinks an ad from the Lincoln Project, that only aired on Fox News in DC, played a role in poisoning the relationship between Trump and Pence. After it aired is when Trump started pestering Pence about the certification project and started asking lawyers to send the Lincoln Project cease and desist letters.

39 second ad:

Just take the party back.

?Trump is the greatest president since Ronald Reagan...? for the love of Pete - there have been only four others!

Two were Dems - obviously no conservative will see them as great - and who?s left?

George HW Bush, who became POTUS the way this new old guy J?Biden did - a back bencher that a ?rock star? nominee put on the ticket - and then his moronic idiot son W.

Had any other Republican candidate been nominated and won the election in 2016, that person probably would also have been ?the greatest president since Ronald Reagan.?

And that person would probably have been reelected

Just take back the fucking party.

Don?t relinquish the party to a bunch of fucking yahoos who would storm the Capitol and try to take over the government by way of a coup.

yeah, there have only been 4 but Reagan was one of the all time greats.

Like I?ve said, going into the election I would have preferred Trump, but as usual, my primary feeling was that I didn?t care very much either way, so I didn?t pay a lot of attention to the challenges afterward.

I think I remember hearing reports that the election changes that were made without the legislatures wouldn?t have changed the outcome of the election in those states, or that the courts upheld the changes, or something - the established lawful resolution processes were adhered to and followed, as I understand it.

that doesn't mean all the votes were legit. In one district alone in Wisconsin, there were something like 10k mail in ballots with only a name and a vote - no address, signature or any other previously legally required information that would have automatically disqualified them. As I recall, across those states you mentioned the number of votes that would have been disqualified based on the election laws in those states numbers well into the 100s of thousands. None of those have been scrutinized, they've only been counted and maybe recounted, but none were disqualified as they should be. The idea that this election has been proven to be legitimate is absurd.

So why do you think Bill Barr said there was no fraud on a scale that could impact the election?

I?ll wager: Someone told Barr that he and his immediate family would end up in dog food cans. It?s a theory.

the only people who do that in America are the intelligence agencies.

It?s a particular penchant of them. That, and driving around in vans with fake businesses painted on them, listening to us.

Maybe this was their best removal option, then, after the Covid didn?t come through, and Trump don?t ride around in the back seat of a top down limousine.

 

[Spartanmack]

I?m going to fight for my cause every day as your president. I?m going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank him, that I?m an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on Earth. And with hard work ? with hard work, strong faith, and a little courage, great things are always within our reach.

Fight with me. Fight with me.

Fight for what?s right for our country. Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.

Fight for our children?s future. Fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up for each other, for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight.

Nothing is inevitable here. We?re Americans, and we never give up.

We never quit.

We never hide from history. We make history.

Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless Ameriis ca.​

John McCain's acceptance speech for the republican candidate for president. His tone was what I consider to be "strident" at the minimum. I expect that no candidate will be allowed to make this rhetoric ever again.

it's not too late to impeach him.
