I agree with almost everything on this list. Before I go further, I would point out that I am conservative in my views. I believe that Hillary had to be defeated in the last election. As a result, Trump was able to place 3 outstanding judges on the Supreme Court. They should be able to stop the legislation from the bench that has been going on for decades, as well as the ridiculous "non-constitutional" rulings that have nothing to do with the constitution.John wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 5:03 pm** 03-Jan-2021 World View: Electoral College certification
- Democrats and the media lied every day about having explosive
evidence of Trump's guilt, when such evidence was nonexistent.- The Mueller report was hugely embarrasing to the Democrats and the
media because, after three years, they couldn't find a scintilla of
evidence to charge Trump with, indirectly proving that Trump, unlike
the Democrats and the media, is completely free of corruption.- Adam Schiff, who lied on a daily basis, made up a phony transcript
of a phone call between Trump and Ukraine's president. Trump was then
able to release the actual transcript, making Schiff look like a piece
of garbage, but that never stopped him.- During the Ukraine hearings, every witness was forced to recant
his testimony under cross examination by the Republicans. But the
mainstream media lied about that every day, reporting "explosive
testimony."- Ambassador Gordon Sondland was forced to change his testimony to
lie for Adam Schiff when Oregon Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer called
on antifa-blm and other activists to riot and threaten Sondland's
family and businesses. This was censored by the Democrats and
media.- Jonathan Turley's family was also threatened with violence by
Democrats when he testified that the impeachment couldn't be
justified. This was censored by the Democrats and media.- The Democrats and mainstream media were embarrassed again when the
whole impeachment effort flopped -- because there was no evidence to
support the charges.- Throughout 2020, when antifa-blm fascists were rioting and burning
down cities across the country, the Democrats and media censored it.
It was really laughable when the Democrat National Convention didn't
even mention the ongoing antifa-blm fascist violence.- As evidence grew of Hunter and Joe Biden's involvement in
influence peddling, money laundering and tax evasion in Ukraine,
Russia and China, the Democrats censored the news. The most
ridiculous example occurred when the NY Post's story about the laptop
was completely censored by the media, and even linking to the story
was censored.- During the initial investigations of voter fraud by Trump
supporters, a number of poll workers and Republican poll watchers were
threatened and intimidated by Democrats, sometimes putting their
families in danger. The Democrats and media censored this. Trump
supporters claim that judges were acutely aware of these threats and
to the similar threats to Sondland and others, and refused to put
their lives or families in danger by scheduling a trial on the fraud
charges. As a result of the threats of violence, all the charges were
simply thrown out, according to Trump supporters.
Having mentioned Hillary, Trump is now doing what Hillary did when she lost. She had supporters hound electoral college electors and had street demonstrations, and then, of course, there was the whole "Russians stole the election for Trump" thing that went on for years and found absolutely nothing.
In my opinion, had there been fraud, the Dems would not have done so badly in the congressional elections. Those would have been "fixed" too. Instead, the Democrats did much worse than they thought they would in congressional elections.
Had there been any substantial evidence of fraud, the Attorney General would have been all over it. The lawsuits would have progressed. Even Trump's election security guy said that there was no fraud. The new norm, thanks to Hillary BTW, is that if you lose, there was interference or fraud.
I think that Trump shot himself in the foot (head rather) by doing the following things:
1. Insulting McCain, even after he died. This cost him Arizona, where republicans who liked and admired McCain, actively campaigned against Trump. It also cost him the support of a lot of veterans who rightly viewed McCain as a war hero for what he went through in the Hanoi Hilton.
2. Telling supporters that mail-in voting could not be trusted, actively encouraging them NOT to vote by mail.
3. All the Time on TV during the initial briefings on Covid - where he appeared uninformed and without any real plan.
4. The first Presidential debate. Where he acted so un-presidential that he turned off a lot of people. He did much better in the next debate, but the damage had been done.
Am I happy that Biden won the election? No. Do I think Trump should declare martial law? I think that is treason.
Trump was certainly within his rights to do everything he could to dispute the election.
What is happening now is dangerous to our democracy, just as Hillary's accusations were. If people stop trusting the ballot box and election results, our country's democracy is endangered.
