The Worst Is, They’ll Get Away With It

This morning at my site I had a post explaining the misery, at least from my perspective, of watching the American political system devolve into failure this week:
My mood isn’t the result of despondency that the election is lost. I don’t think it’s lost. At least, I’m not sure it’s lost.
What I’ve recognized, what that late night on Tuesday taught me, is that the election is just a symptom of something a whole lot worse.
At the end of the day, it’s this: the game will continue until the Left says it’s over.

If election officials are obstructing and intimidating the process, then why are Federal Marshall on site arresting people?

He’s right. It usually continues until the Communists say it’s over.
But now they have a fighter (nay, a BRAWLER) who will decide when it’s over.
I’m rehanging my TRUMP 2020 flag.

Don't give up yet.
Idea: what if we set up some sort of Donation campaign for the legal team?
Does anyone know how to do this? It would encourage the President and team.

This brief article sums up my feelings quite nicely. The obvious corruption in this election is how our Republic dies. I will personally never again have faith in the electoral process and I cannot envision how that faith can ever be restored. Even if they do not prevail, Democrats are showing how broken our national elections are and how there is absolutely no fear of consequences when they attempt to blatantly steal an election. Should Trump win, Democrat supporters will be absolutely sure he somehow stole the election and will consider they have been cheated. Neither side will, or frankly, should trust our current election process. Further, I cannot envision anything that can be done to restore my faith.
I shouldn't be surprised by current events. But I was born in the 50's, was taught Civics in school, always answered a Jury Summons, watched Paladin and Gunsmoke and, as a child, the Lone Ranger. I believed in Truth, Justice, and The American Way. I am happy my parents didn't live to see America's decline. At the same time, I am saddened and worried that my daughter and her husband, and future generations won't have the American Experience I so enjoyed.

# 3 Before midnight on election day I received and e-mail from Trump asking for money to defend the integrity of the election. I wondered about it. A little bit later i read the counting in states that Trump was winning was halted. Trump & Co. obviously knew what was going on and got the e-mail out there ahead of the public announcement.

Dark, but sadly right on the money. Too many people at the trough, too much power at stake. "The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." - Frank Zappa

God Bless America.
On the other hand, God Bless the Republic of Texas.
We have the oil and gas. We have the year round shipping. We make Saudi Arabia look like a bunch of expletives deleted and will continue to delete.
If the USA turns into the United Socialists of America, the Republic of Texas will happen so fast your head will spin.

They aren't even trying to hide what they are doing. They don't care because they know there will be no consequences worth worrying about and they will have demonstrated to the people who dared vote in an outsider in 2016 that such will not be allowed going forward. And don't count on the GOP to put up any real opposition to whatever the leftists decree they want enacted going forward. They may grandstand on a couple of the more egregious proposals but the overall agenda will roll forward just as it has for the last century or more.

Is there anyone defending President Trump besides himself?? Those slimey Republicans are just standing on the sidelines waiting to rush the trough once he is taken down, to the tune of Happy Days Are Here Again......

I have been paying attention to politics since 1964. 'They' have ALWAYS gotten away with vote fraud and in Hillarys case, murder.

A clear majority of the people now believe this election is fraudulent and illegitimate. SOMETHING can be done. Are we simply going to stand by and see our freedoms looted like this? This is the United States of America.

They cannot be allowed to get away with it. Are we Americans truly no different than those who were herded into boxcars on the way to the gas ovens? America is worth fighting for and if we just shrug our shoulders and that there is nothing that can be done we don't deserve the wonderful nation we inherited. Call a redo election in the state guilty of the most egregious fraud. We can wait until the votes are fairly counted

They are not going to get away with it. The reason? Trump voters. I will never forget the sight of tens of thousands of enthusiastic voters all over our republic united behind a candidate who reflected their values. Regardless of the outcome, the left has destroyed any credibility they had remaining going into this election. I believe that President Trump's supporter's will see to it that the left will be held accountable and not allowed to creep back into the shadows

The worst is that new avenues for fraud will be instituted to “make voting easier.” Americans failed one civics exam, and they’re about to fail another.

Don’t forget Scalia’s “untimely death,” #10. I am certain of it now.

No thanks to Barr and Durham for burying the Obamagate findings, now most likely forever. If anything was going to make the Commucrats pay a price, that would have been it.

Election law is structured to protect the Democrat's interest in freely stealing elections.
If you look at the list on Wikipedia, we have more than 130 uniform laws produced by non-profit think tanks like the ABA. These cover everything from Adoption to Victims Rights. These Uniform Codes establish a best practices framework of commonly accepted best practices for a given area of legal regulation. Not every State adopts each uniform code verbatim, but the law generally settles into a majority and minority dichotomy of the codes and their most like alternative.
What this allows is for lawyers across America to understand fairly easily how legal issues play out in most jurisdictions and the minority alternative. In the absence of this uniform framework, we would have 50 states with entirely unrelated legal schemes and thinking.
Guess which area of law lacks a uniform code? Elections.
All national election law in this Country has been obsessed with the 1964 Civil Rights Act protection of Democrats right to cast illegal votes. There has been no reform of any kind in the administration of vote counting itself.
We've had plenty of time. We just didn't.
