stevew said...: So am I. He really does love this country and the American people.

Fauci says that was a purpose pitch, meant to distract us into compliance with his dictats.; 12/29/20, 9:04 AM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: how much mayhem can be laid at the feet of Progs/Libs/Dems ?; 12/29/20, 9:04 AM
Jersey Fled said...: Investigation by 14 Republican State Senators in PA claims that 200,000 more votes were counted in the Presidential election than were cast. Yet Democrat Governor and Attorney General certified the vote.

No way of knowing right now how accurate this is, but I have family who were involved in Philadelphia Democrat politics for more than 30 years, and I can believe this could be true. This kind of thing us child's play for them. They don't even try very hard to hide it.; 12/29/20, 9:09 AM
Quayle said...: Welcome back my friends
to the show that never ends.
We’re so glad you could attend.
Come inside! Come inside!

Right before your eyes,
We'll pull laughter from the skies
And we’ll laugh until we cry,
(then we’ll die? then we’ll die.); 12/29/20, 9:13 AM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: oh-- and the ChiComs.

...who are sorta what the progs/libs/Dems aspire to be; 12/29/20, 9:17 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: The left rid us of the weird guy and inserted the corrupt guy.

lucky us.; 12/29/20, 9:17 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: PA: Number of votes exceeds the number of voters by more than 200K.

Media, Alec Baldwin and Joe Biden screaming... *THAT'S NOT TRUE!*
In unison.; 12/29/20, 9:22 AM

Notice how E V E R Y time Lord Fauci is caught in a lie he then says “ I said that on purpose”
WTF is an 80+ YO grifter doing running our pandemic policy?? Retire already old man. We’re done with you....; 12/29/20, 9:23 AM
320Busdriver said...: Gallup: 48% of Republicans named Donald Trump as most admired man. 32% of Democrats named Barack Obama. 13% of Democrats named Joe Biden.; 12/29/20, 9:33 AM
Michael K said...: We will see the consequences of The Big Steal by summer, I expect. If the people running Biden want peace and stability, they will leave us normals alone. I don't know if they can control the crazies. That should be apparent by summer.; 12/29/20, 9:39 AM
Ice Nine said...: >>The wildest political moments of 2020<<

A Martian come to earth might well think that Donald Trump was about the only politician in existence in 2020.; 12/29/20, 9:39 AM
Jersey Fled said...: But those 13% enthusiastically voted for Joe. Many times.; 12/29/20, 9:39 AM
Wince said...: Fauci throws like a "them".; 12/29/20, 9:40 AM
Birkel said...: 320Busdriver:
And those statistics prove to a metaphysical certainty that Joe Biden must have received 15 million more votes than Obama.; 12/29/20, 9:44 AM
Bilwick said...: In two words: Trunalimunumaprzure triumphant!; 12/29/20, 9:45 AM
Nonapod said...: 13% of Democrats named Joe Biden.

That number actually seems pretty high to me. I'm kinda curious who these people who claim to "admire" Joe Biden are. Do they really, truly admire him, or do they just think they should say they do? Could they list the things that they find admirable about Joe Biden? I guess he's pretty good at grifting, but really even that's debatable since if it wasn't for a compliant media and social media industry he might not have been able to get away with all the stuff he's done over the years.; 12/29/20, 9:48 AM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: The RAGE of Corrupt Nancy.

Trump put a kink in the Pelosi family international grift machine.

Not to worry - it's back!; 12/29/20, 10:03 AM
Bilwick said...: What Nonapod said. In my experience, admiration usually some desire to emulate. Even among the people who voted for him--which would include a large contingent of "liberals," "progressives" and other State-fellators who will always vote for the more statist candidate--who in God's name actually WANTS to emulate Joe Biden?; 12/29/20, 10:23 AM
M Jordan said...: Sadly, that pitch was more accurate than anything Fauci has said in the past year.; 12/29/20, 10:24 AM
tcrosse said...: Dave Barry's review of the past year has usually been fun. He uses comic exaggeration to satirise the year's events. But for 2020 reality was so exaggeratedly ludicrous that he had to take it way over the top.
Here's wishing everybody a Happier New Year.; 12/29/20, 10:24 AM
Carol said...: No way of knowing right now how accurate this is,

I googled and found a recent spreadsheet that shows over 9 million registered voters in Pa. Not near that number voted, more like 2.5 million.

What is the problem here? I'm sure it's something.; 12/29/20, 10:39 AM
Readering said...: What were the 52% thinking?; 12/29/20, 10:41 AM
Joe Smith said...: The Fauci throw was the worst I've seen in the history of first pitches.

Bill and Hillary are at the first baseball game of the season. The umpire walks up to the VIP section and says something to the president. Suddenly Clinton grabs Hillary by the collar and throws her over the wall onto the field. The stunned umpired shouts, "No, Mr. President! I said, 'Throw the first PITCH!'"; 12/29/20, 11:04 AM
Earnest Prole said...: When you think that you've lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more
I'm just going down the road feeling bad

BUMBLE BEE said...: %52? Nothing if not consistent.; 12/29/20, 11:50 AM
AZ Bob said...: This year should be known as the year the media normalized riots. Burning and looting is no big deal. Here are my favorite news clips:

--Despite large flames looming in the background, this news reporter said: "I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly." Note the chyron said the police station is on fire;

--This anchor gives the benefit of the doubt to the looter: "You see someone actually walking away with a cheesecake there after the Cheesecake Factory was looted. Unclear where they may have gotten that." Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

You think 2020 was bad? Just wait.; 12/29/20, 12:24 PM
5M - Eckstine said...: Watching Fauci's pitch. That is enough to kick him off the team.; 12/29/20, 12:29 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: the auto-play... make it stop!; 12/29/20, 12:31 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: AZ Bob...

Indeed. and somehow Boogaloo or proud boys were to blame. Our lying eyes.
Not the white-boy leftists clad in black, smashing and burning, right in front of us.... on camera... roll the tape.

Nope. Our lying eyes.; 12/29/20, 12:33 PM

No way of knowing right now how accurate this is,

“I googled and found a recent spreadsheet that shows over 9 million registered voters in Pa. Not near that number voted, more like 2.5 million.“

PA counted 6.9 Million votes for potus.

No matter that DoS/SURE data indicates that 6.7million persons voted in the election.

Nothing to see here. 200K more votes than voters and twice the margin of Bidens fake victory.

“ Time to heal”

FUCK THAT

Explain how this mismatch of data happened and I might listen.; 12/29/20, 12:42 PM
Jersey Fled said...: I googled and found a recent spreadsheet that shows over 9 million registered voters in Pa. Not near that number voted, more like 2.5 million.

What is the problem here? I'm sure it's something.

The mismatch was between votes cast and votes counted. 200,000 more votes counted than actually cast.; 12/29/20, 1:33 PM
Jim at said...: Nancy Pelosi ripping up that speech is one of the most despicable things I've ever seen.

But, yeah. It's Trump who's divisive.

Fuck off.; 12/29/20, 1:44 PM
320Busdriver said...: Trump loved the U.S.A. more than any recent president.

Now we’re ceding the government to illegitimate grifters who hate America and all who love her. It’s gonna be great!; 12/29/20, 2:12 PM
Ampersand said...: The PA Dept of State said 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted. Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates.

Democracy dies in all different kinds of light conditions.; 12/29/20, 2:33 PM
D.D. Driver said...: Hilarious. Biggest laugh from me was Nadler with his glasses tangled in his mask. Iconic.

I had not seen the clip of Kayleigh McEnany talking about having all the momentum exactly as the lights go out. Too funny.; 12/29/20, 3:40 PM

SweatBee said...: "I googled and found a recent spreadsheet that shows over 9 million registered voters in Pa. Not near that number voted, more like 2.5 million.

What is the problem here? I'm sure it's something."

The problem is that the number of votes counted doesn't match the number of people who signed in at the polls. This is not new for Pennsylvania--earlier this year, an elections judge in Philadelphia was caught ballot box stuffing and certifying election results he knew to be false.

Michigan has the same problem: in Wayne County, the absentee voter counting boards couldn't be reconciled, but the county election board certified it anyway.; 12/29/20, 5:36 PM
Michael K said...: You think 2020 was bad? Just wait.

AZ Bob, boy are we glad to be back in Tucson. Drove home from OC today. My wife could not get over how hysterical people are in CA. My daughter would not come to Christmas Eve for fear of the virus.; 12/29/20, 7:45 PM
AZ Bob said...: Tucson is my favorite town. I visit every year. Too bad I live in LA.; 12/29/20, 8:38 PM
