Biden asks everyone to "stay calm." Trump sounds the alarm — they're stealing the election!

doctrev said...: Well, I'm sure the Gestapo would love everyone to remain calm during a fascist takeover. The problem Joe Biden has is that even his own supporters regard him as a puppet. Even if he was as universally loved amongst his base as President Donald Trump is in the GOP, neither man would be able to "calm" the other side with mere words.

And because the facts of the matter indicate fraud that would instantly be enough to fold a large corporation, the GOP base is white-hot pissed. In a way, this is really the best outcome for Donald Trump, but not for the reasons offered by the cuck media. If he wants to purge Epstein types and Antifa leaders- but I repeat myself- having tens of millions of citizens ready to murder Rat leaders is far more valuable than just being re-elected. There's no force on Earth which could stand up to that short of the American military, and they're not getting involved just on Biden's say-so.; 11/5/20, 7:13 PM

"Democrats went into this election with 39 legislative chambers, 19 statehouses and 15 trifectas. The GOP boasted 59 legislative chambers, 29 statehouses and 21 trifectas. Democrats aimed to flip the legislatures in North Carolina and Arizona and chambers in Texas, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Iowa.

They came up short everywhere. Democrats didn’t pick up a single new chamber or governorship while Republicans won two more trifectas in Montana and New Hampshire by flipping the governorship in the former and both legislative chambers in the latter. Oh, and Republicans expanded legislative majorities in Florida and North Carolina."; 11/5/20, 7:20 PM
MayBee said...: I'm not really on board with Trump's last press conference.

But this process does not create confidence. PA fighting observers doesn't create confidence. States just stopping voting on voting night doesn't inspire confidence. The drip drip drip of data--- knowing what votes will produce what outcome-- doesn't produce confidence.

The Dems screwed up the reporting of their primaries, and exported it to our national election. They've created a clown show. I think that's worth noticing.; 11/5/20, 7:21 PM
Peglegged Picador said...: Will y'all please settle down and let them count ballots? If you're for law and order, then you support the notion of state's following the processes laid out in their laws. What Trump is doing is one of the most concerning instances of federal overreach I've seen in my life.; 11/5/20, 7:22 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: The pandemic gave Dem states a golden opportunity to flood their states with ballots ripe for fraud. In Wisconsin, it would not have taken a lot of people to solicit blank ballots, fill them in and mail in with Biden checked off. It would only be about 1/2 of 1 percent of the 3.6 million registered voters which is about 20,000 ballots.; 11/5/20, 7:23 PM

buwaya said...: A corrupt state such as PA does not need to follow its own laws, if there is no other power to enforce these laws. And their malfeasance has national consequences. A distinct weakness in the American system. You have several corrupt states, or uncontrollable authorities in some of them.; 11/5/20, 8:12 PM
Breezy said...: In any sport, when one side is caught cheating and it’s proved, they must forfeit the game. Any proven fraud that would change an election outcome must have the same result - all votes for that side all nullified for that voter region. End of voter fraud.

Jersey Fled said...: If you're for law and order, then you support the notion of state's following the processes laid out in their laws

But they are not following the laws in PA. The legislators passed revisions to their voting rules two or three months ago which the governor signed into law. The state Supreme Court illegally imposed its own rules superseding the new law, not because it was unconstitutional, but for "practical" reasons having to do with the virus. They had no right to do this. These are the rules that are currently being followed.

The U.S. Supreme Court chose not to review these newly imposed rules for reasons too involved to discuss here. The Supreme Court did not affirm the rules. They just did not rule on them, leaving open to review them later. A new request is before the US Supreme Court now.

So the bottom line is that PA is following rules not approved by the Legislator and signed into law by the Governor, but impose, likely illegally by the State Supreme Court.

It should also be noted that in PA Supreme Court justices are elected and are all Democrats.; 11/5/20, 8:17 PM

Skeptical Voter said...: Dov Fischer at American Spectator says that there were ~3.6 million registered voters in Wisconsin. 3.3 million votes were cast in Wisconsin in this election. A 90% voter turnout in a Presidential election? Are you freakin' kidding me?

As I understand the typical voter turnout in a Presidential election is less than 60%. I see ballots equal to 90 percent of the registered voters on a state wide basis and I smell hot stale overripe Limburger--and it's not cheese.

Of course that's not as bad as say Chicago or Detroit where the boys frequently overcook it and more ballots are cast than there are registered voters. But in Wisconin, it comes close.; 11/5/20, 8:20 PM
h said...: Here's where the bias of the media comes into play. I don't even watch/read sources to find out where the Presidential race lies. In a week or so, there will be "official results" and there will (probably) be legal contentions with those "official results" and then there will be court decisions on those legal contentions. But anything the mainstream media (or even the non-mainstream media) says is now just Rah-rah hopefulness, not news.; 11/5/20, 8:21 PM

**********

Yeah, that's right: states can change their election laws right up to the election itself, and it's OK. Ballots submitted after election day? Fine. Mismatched addresses? Bogus signatures? Ballot harvesting? Fine. Newly discovered batches of ballots, ALWAYS favoring the Dems? Fine.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I live in CT. The same people who believe that Trump is governing as Hitler and Bull Connor and ruining their lives, simultaneously believe that our state government and our Governor (Ned Lamont, fer crissake) are absolutely wonderful and are making sure that everything works fine and nothing bad happens.

I suppose they would argue that I believe the opposite, which is sort of true, except that I believe that Trump's leadership and policies are benefitting this state in spite of its political and fiscal suicide cult.; 11/5/20, 8:45 PM
Birkel said...: The sheriff who is charged by the court to enforce the laws in Philly, following an adverse judgment for Democraticals, has refused to enforce the court order.

"WI turnout right now is 3.2M+.
That is 72%+ of the state’s 4.5M+ voting-age adults.

2004: 73.2
2008: 69.2

2016: 67.3"

Mark said...: Yes, buwaya, we do not have a normal county. And Steve Bannon is a perfect example.

No one on the right is calling him out for calling for Fauci's head on a pike outside the White House.

Of course Twitter tossed him for repeat violations. Just wait until Trump is out of office and they decide to throw his ass to the curb too. Without being able to borrow their megaphone, he won't be heard.

He was a useful idiot, helpful for keeping their business afloat.; 11/5/20, 8:50 PM
Big Mike said...: So if it’s so easy why didn’t the dems steal the election four years ago?

@steve uhr, because everyone expected Hillary Clinton to win handily, obviously! This time around the Democrats knew that Joe Biden was going to lose in the absence of election fraud at a massive level, and probably even which states where he was going to lose. Now how about you go back to defaming high school kids from Kentucky?; 11/5/20, 8:51 PM

I'll field this one. They would have, if you remember the election dragging on into the next morning, but they weren't ready for the level of fraud it would take. Put simply, they did not have the resources to forge ballots that they didn't think they'd need on short notice.

This time they're STILL clumsy and stupid, but complete information control means most people remain ignorant of what's happening. And they've had time to plan. I'm sure if RBG was still alive, as opposed to being in hell, the Supreme Court would firmly put a stop to any Trump "reactions." And that would be that.; 11/5/20, 8:51 PM

If it’s all on the up and up, why aren’t observers allowed anywhere near the actual vote counting? If you want people to accept the results, transparency seems like a simple thing. Unless of course you are cheating, then I can understand why you would keep observers far from the action and provide little to no ballot security while providing extreme security to keep observers away; 11/5/20, 9:36 PM

The Godfather said...: The current situation is very suspicious, even if you disregard so-far unproven allegations of misconduct by election officials in Democrat-controlled States. There's a reasonably good chance that in fact Biden has legitimately won the election. Shouldn't he come out with a strong demand for open and transparent procedures to resolve the votes in the States where the margins are close? If he doesn't, he runs the risk of being treated as an illegitimate President.; 11/5/20, 9:39 PM

They have. stolen a Senate seat. House seats are a lot harder to steal because the districts that include big city fraud operations would go blue anyway, and this kind of stuff is much harder in red districts, which are never so one sided politically.; 11/5/20, 9:49 PM
buwaya said...: I don't know why I post here. My motives are fuzzy even to me.

I suppose it's the same foolish reasons so many people do conventional social media, a sort of "I exist!" shout to the world. Or perhaps it's my own form of narcissism, something better, or maybe just different, than posting pictures of myself. Absurd.

Or it's a search for suitable companions in a cafe, or a salon, as in the old days. There are no such physical cafes and salons, they have been gone for many years.

There is no-one here to discuss this stuff, my wife is rather scared of it all, pretty much anything in Althouse would drive her off. I certainly don't want to distress her.

In any case it is some sort of sin on my part, certainly. And probably an imposition.

But I do have that curse, in that when it comes to me, I am always right. I have that knack of knowing that a disaster is coming. Its one thing to be sanguine about it if I am certain it's just that a multimillion $ project will fail before it starts. But this is something else.

I am convinced it is real.

This one is much bigger and it has been building in my consciousness for years.

But it does not help, really, to lay the fruits of Cassandra's curse before other people, because it is always something bad, and there is never anything to be done. Or rather, I have done, for ourselves, that which I can do, but I can't help you.

I am sentimental about you Americans. I think I fell into a sort of love with you, collectively, besides the usual sort of love. I even, or maybe especially, love the long rides with a cowboy-technician through the Central Valley on I-5, discussing Limbaugh or the fine points of TCP/IP. Or the gang around a 5-axis machine on a factory floor in Olathe Kansas. These people seem so fragile, so vulnerable, in spite of the power of these men. I feel like I have taken a last look at the Buffalo on the plains. So I often obsess about your affairs.

At the moment I am very sad about your situation, it is heartbreaking, and terrifying, I won't lie. If what I am thinking of will happen, it's likely to be us in the wringer as well. But whatever.

I am off, hoping that my curse finally fails and makes me a liar.; 11/5/20, 9:53 PM

-- I think we have to have something like that happen. But, it will suck for the people who voted and lost their vote because some sheriff decided he was the law.

I'm going with "stay calm but they're stealing the presidential election":

WSJ

"Democrats went into this election with 39 legislative chambers, 19 statehouses and 15 trifectas. The GOP boasted 59 legislative chambers, 29 statehouses and 21 trifectas. Democrats aimed to flip the legislatures in North Carolina and Arizona and chambers in Texas, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Iowa.

They came up short everywhere. Democrats didn’t pick up a single new chamber or governorship while Republicans won two more trifectas in Montana and New Hampshire by flipping the governorship in the former and both legislative chambers in the latter. Oh, and Republicans expanded legislative majorities in Florida and North Carolina."

And yet- Trump, a Republican, lost the presidential election. Hmmm....; 11/6/20, 1:06 AM

Lying is not "sounding the alarm." There is no basis for such a statement and Trump is deliberately attempting to foment violence. The man is at the end of his rope because narcissists cannot withstand personal rejection.

Trump's lead in Georgia is now down to 665! Pennsylvania plus Georgia puts Biden at 291 - well past 270. So another asshole bites the dust.; 11/6/20, 1:56 AM

Why didn’t they use COVID to introduce a drastically different system of voting that was clunky, poorly constructed and created unlimited opportunities for vote stealing four years ago?

Hmmm...good question. Why didn’t they use COVID like this four years ago?; 11/6/20, 4:49 AM

Because they believed the polls and shared the view of so many that Hillary was going to win easily. They were unprepared. They would not make that mistake twice.; 11/6/20, 4:55 AM

I don't really care anymore if America fails, because this isn't my America anymore, when the corrupt can do whatever they want to whomever they want. I want Justice, not more corruption.; 11/6/20, 5:01 AM

In 2000, both the Gore & Bush camps agreed to observers in all ballot counting. Why doesn't Joe? He's been told to shut up & let them handle it.; 11/6/20, 6:01 AM
Birkel said...: Mark,
I appreciate your new lies.
Thanks for the early morning laugh.

The number of registrations is currently known.
The number of precincts showing greater than 100% participation is known.

I have all the lies I need.
You can keep yours.; 11/6/20, 6:09 AM
Butkus51 said...: Worse case scenario, other than China fulfilling their mission of course, and theyre salivating about that. Joe cant hide as much. He'll be in front of the cameras more often. Theoretically. He wont have to talk daily, the press will cover for him as they "cover" everything. It will work, for a bit. And then Kamala(Obama) takes over again and the seas will part.

Always late night "malarkey". Always.

Lot of Charlie Browns out there getting fooled by Lucy again.

Lot of Ken dolls too.; 11/6/20, 6:10 AM
Qwinn said...: I've seen TWO different videos this morning of Democrat operatives stamping and then filling out one ballot after another, start to finish. We actually have them on fucking video committing the fraud, systematically. One even shows a security guard walking by *watching it happen* and doing nothing, he's in on it.

Add the thousands of votes by dead people, and We have hard evidence of *systematic* voter fraud by the Dems. But will it get past Jack's "disputed" tags? Remains to be seen.; 11/6/20, 6:13 AM

Jeff said...: It may be that Biden is stealing it, I don't know. But he wouldn't be able to pull it off if he didn't legitimately get at least 45 percent of the vote. The fact that he got at least that, and probably more, is what is so disheartening. It is not possible that a well-informed patriot could vote for Biden after the behavior of the Democrats over the past four years. And given the widespread availability of Internet news sources, there is no excuse for any patriot to not be well-informed.

The inevitable conclusion is that the majority of citizens (once you include those too unpatriotic to even vote) are not patriots, and are undeserving of the country we inherited from previous generations. We tend to forget that tyrannical governments have historically been the norm; our democratic republic was a bold departure from the norm 244 years ago.

During the impeachment farce last December the Washington Post ran a story about a famous Benjamin Franklin quote. According to the notes of James McHenry, a Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention, Elizabeth Powel, wife of the Mayor of Philadelphia, asked Franklin "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" and Franklin replied "A republic, if you can keep it." In 1803, McHenry added that Powel immediately shoots back, "And why not keep it?" Franklin responded "Because the people, on tasting the dish, are always disposed to eat more of it than does them good."

This was not his only prophecy. Just after Washington had been elected the first President Franklin observed "The first man put at the helm will be a good one. Nobody knows what sort may come afterwards." Then he went on to say "The executive will be always increasing here, as elsewhere, till it ends in a monarchy."

It's a wonder it's lasted this long.; 11/6/20, 8:14 AM

Yes, that's disheartening, but there is another way of looking at it. Despite the constant Trump hate that has been spewed by most of the media, Hollywood and the educational establishment for 4 years, a majority of legal voters cast their vote for Trump. He increased his margins with blacks and Latinos, who have been told constantly that he hates him.

There are a lot of dullards who believe the dreck the media feeds them. But millions of others do not. Trump got more votes this year than he did in 2016.; 11/6/20, 8:33 AM

Are you lying now or were you lying before? When you deal-gadfly- in innuendo, half truths and lies you're not going to be believed. You have no virtue. That has been established.
