Correct.

The lefties/LLR-lefies are now openly telegraphing their intent to launch nationwide protests against the coming Trump victory and will use their projection lies about Trump cheating as the basis for a potential impeachment if the democraticals keep the House and take the Senate.

The democraticals/LLR-lefties used Mueller to investigate Trump to hide democratical/LLR-lefty abuse of government and selling foreign policy to our enemies.

The democraticals/LLR-lefties impeached Trump for democratical/LLR-lefty Ukraine/ChiCom corruption.

And if they get a chance, the democraticals/LLR-lefties will impeach Trump again over democratical election cheating.; 10/26/20, 8:58 PM

Still think it's a great show, but watching a couple episodes a day the carnage is stunning.

wildswan said...: I see that Biden is promising his own voters that continual stress will end if Biden wins. Which means, I think, that deep battle fatigue and stress is setting in on that side. They after all, believe that Trump voters are Nazis, that the earth is being destroyed, that a positive covid test is death sentence and that an increase in positive tests (cases as they call them) warrants closing down the economy and the schools. This is what their side requires them to believe and their side threatens them if they don't believe it all. The result is that the Dem half of the electorate is being abused and suffers from battered voter syndrome. Like battered wives these battered voters are hiding their bruises and the signs of abuse; they are making excuses for their tormentors; they are blaming themselves for not doing exactly as they've been told and they're blaming Trump and the Republicans who try to free them for "making things worse."; 10/26/20, 11:09 PM

StephenFearby said...: Support Trump-Russia Whistleblower Igor [Iggy] Danchenko

GoFundMe Created 7 days ago
$4,301 raised of $250,000 goal

Igor Danchenko, the investigator who first exposed Trump-Russia threats to American national security on behalf of Christopher Steele in 2016, has been pursued by Donald Trump’s team in a campaign of relentless persecution, and needs your help.

Igor was responsible for the research and intelligence in the former MI6 officer’s “Steele Dossier”. He was the first man to expose Russian election interference and elements of Trump team/Russia collusion!

His work was deemed credible by the FBI - several campaign figures he identified have been charged/indicted, but since the 2016 election, Igor has had to lay low as officials struggled to keep his heroics a classified secret. Trump’s attack dogs would not cease until he was named and smeared with lies in public earlier this year, in an effort to undermine ongoing and completed investigations into Trump’s campaign.

Everything raised in this GoFundMe will be put into a fund dedicated to covering Igor’s huge legal costs and his lost income. He has lost his livelihood and his career as a brilliant analyst. He faces legal action by Russian oligarchs. He is forced to sue the most powerful people in the country having been publicly painted a spy by President Trump, Senator Graham, and Representative Nunes, and he fears for his and his family’s life on a daily basis...

gadfly said...: George Conway tells us why he believes in the president, now more than ever.

Sleepy Joe Biden and that “monster” Kamala D. Harris would turn America into a “socialist hellhole,” we’d all “ speak Chinese,” [that] they “want to take out the cows” and “any form of animals.” There will be “no airplanes,” they’ll “rip down the Empire State Building,” and we’ll only have “little, tiny windows.”

I believe Sleepy Joe leads an “organized crime family,” that he and President Barack Obama committed “the greatest political crime in the history of our country,” and it will be “a very sad, sad situation” if the attorney general doesn’t indict them [before the election].

I believe Hunter Biden flew from his home in Los Angeles to Philadelphia, and then took a train to Delaware, because he needed a legally blind repairman there to fix his laptop. I believe Rudy Giuliani when he says the odds are “no better than 50/50” he worked with a Russian agent to dig up dirt on the Bidens. Giuliani may have been duped by fake Kazakh rubes but could never be conned by real Russian spies. I believe Giuliani was just tucking in his shirt.

I believe the virus “affects virtually nobody,” and that the death count would be “very low” if we didn’t count Democrat states. I believe doctors and hospitals have overcounted deaths because they “get more money” for doing so.

I believe we will develop “herd mentality,” which will make the virus “go away.” I believe a vaccine is “ready,” coming “momentarily,” “within weeks.” And I believe that all the scientists are “idiots.”

I believe that if the president somehow does lose, he might “have to leave the country.” I believe he probably should.; 10/27/20, 5:19 AM

tim in vermont said...: I believe that some rando on Twitter has access to Hunter’s complete and detailed travel records.

I belive that. even if Hunter did board a sailing ship for San Fransisco, and catch a wagon train to St Louis, and from there ride on the iron horse to Washington, DC, where his business is centered, there is no way he would base his activities out of his home away from home in Delaware because it’s more than a days ride by horseback to DC.

I believe that there is no way that Hunter the known crack addict could have been at a party in Delaware and spilled a drink all over his laptop, lost access to his email, and taken it to a nearby shop, and then forgot about it while he was being sued over the paternity of some stripper’s child in Arkansas, I think it was. Probably was a guest of Bill Clinton there, IDK.

I believe that there is no way that Hunter would ignore calls from what looked like a random number in Delaware that were the attempts to get him to pick up his laptop and pay the $85 dollars because his ‘honor as a Biden’ wouldn’t allow it, anymore than Hunter would abandon a rental car in Arizona with a crack pipe in it, and his brothers AG badge and *two* DC driver’s licenses. But oh wait, we know that happend.

I believe that even though Brenen’s hand written notes that detailed Hillary Clinton’s plan to smear Trump with allegations about Russia “to take attention away from her emails” are now public record and Brenen has not denied they are his, that the Russia smear is true nonetheless and the complete lack of evidence is more proof that sophisticated Russian intelligence tradecraft is at work.

You leaned this in philosophy class “Absense of evidence is proof it’s the Russians.”

The sexual fixation on an innocent and supposedly unattainable object of lust stuff was a nice touch by the writers, because it hints at emotional neglect of Hunter as a child by his dear old dad after his mom died. It all fits. The great works of art hang together in all the details.

Igor Danchenko was never an "investigator". He was a student and acolyte of the hack, corrupt obambi/biden Ukraine team member and impeachment liar Marie Yovanovich. Danchenko is a Brookings Institute punk who "exposed Trump-Russia threats" by taking some cash from Christopher Steele (via Glenn Simpson-FusionGPS/Perkins-Coie democrat law firm/Clinton campaign) and then......(wait for it)......(wait for it)......."verifying" the hoax dossier (compiled by Nellie Ohr at Fusion GPS direction out of the FISA 702 database) by meeting with his (Danchenko's) buddies at a Washington DC bar and simply making up as many BS "facts" as they could (including the transparently false pee-tape lie) as they got drunk.

That is literally what occurred according to the transcribed notes by the interviewing FBI agents.

And break up Texas into 5 states with all the dems shoved into 1.

And while we are at it, California is ripe for slicing the coastal region (sans San Diego) from the rest of the state, creating another reliably conservative state.

And it sure looks like that DC circuit court that is screwing Flynn over could use some new members along with the FISA court.

And maybe now would be a good time to let in a large number of refugees from communist nations en masse (like the Venezuelans in Florida that are delivering big time for Trump along with the Cubans in Miami-Dade), not to mention many many more Eastern Europeans who love America and love freedom.

Intimidation and death threats due to politics is routine in America but RV only objects when the targets are allies. If these media figures said something to upset Trump supporters wouldn't that be putting the supporters' safety at risk? This is how left wingers justify their allies intimidating and threatening others.

Do you mean to tell me RV applies a different standard to his allies? Say it ain't so.
