My goodness, Scott certainly stirred up our readership yesterday with his “limp noodle” confession about the election. At the risk of annoying many readers further, I’ll offer my observations on the matter which lead to my conclusion about why, and, more importantly, how to move on from here. In rank order of provocation:
• The Democrats stole the election fair and square. Of course I don’t mean that literally; what I mean is that the election was effectively stolen months ago before any ballots were cast when legislatures (and sometimes governors and state courts such Pennsylvania) changed the voting rules to allow expanded mail-in voting, and the cascade of related vulnerabilities

Capitulation: To surrender or give up.
It's all circumstantial evidence, don't ya know. So Republicans just have to get better at vote harvesting, themselves. And we can have, what, a contest of who can cheat the best every election? Nope.

He closes with how he will start a series on "the case for optimism". Get real.
I have been a realistic optimist my whole life. No longer optimistic, the country is done. We either take 'stronger measures' now or we are slaves, no different except for irrelevant trim and electronic toys, than the Russian peasants were prior to 1917. The Czars rule us, and laws, courts, law enforcement are ONLY used to oppress us, never, ever to free us, never ever to reverse wrongs or support the intent of the Constitution. Our "originalist" justices on SCOTUS are worthless, sniveling, whining cowards who will not protect us if it might be inconvenient and messy.
I now live in a country that is so different than the country I grew up in that it is difficult to recognize it. So many fundamental freedoms are gone, and so little actual justice is left that it is sadder than anything I can remember in my life. I mourn our lost country. Historians will mark this year as the end of the American Republic and beginning of the Imperial America, just like Rome started as a Republic and devolved into a dictatorship. We are just about there when elections mean nothing any more except for window dressing to 'legitimize' (horrible misuse of a word) their iron fisted, corrupt, fraudulent take over - all signed, sealed and delivered by the largely unelected corrupt thugs in the Deep State who actually run things.

Does anyone think that if the tables were turned and it was Biden challenging Trump with voter fraud over ballot dumping and rigged voting machines that multiple judges including the Supreme Court would have already ruled in favor of Biden? Our justice system is one sided and broken.

No, they stole it during, and after Nov 3. No court has looked at any evidence. The commentators comment, they do not research or investigate. It's just their opinion, which is what is being expressed in this article.

So if cheating lying and treason is ok now to win a Presidential election in this country and it is accepted as the new normal, then it will be just fine and dandy to cheat in professional sports. This thing is far from over and January 6 is the day of reconning when it goes to the joint session of congress where objections will be heard from the House & Senate. There is still a way to stop the steal!!!

As an aside, local mushy talk radio host here in Albuquerque asked "how do we move on from here". News flash, we don't. The criminalized Russian collusion hoax, the impeachment hoax, and not the election, have destroyed much of America's trust in the government. We may have been able to survive one, but not all three. Trust in authority or the media is done.

#3...I couldn't agree more. I'm angry at the unfairness, the lying and the manipulation of the MSM, and knowing that much the lying and manipulation of the past year was under the direction of Barrack Obama and the cabal he entrenched during his "reign." I'm angry at those who tormented our President. Trump "got it" he was sent to Washington by "us." He understood what we needed and set about putting things right. Cutting our taxes and cutting stupid regulations on many businesses allowed each of us to regain control of our own destiny. Opportunities opened up for everyone. I'm furious at the Republicans who fought him at every turn, and those who are playing along with the myth of a "fair and square" election. Many, who may not have ever been elected, were elected only because of Donald Trump. Now they "got theirs" and and it's they suddenly shut up and behave.
Most of all I realized that my overall emotion is one of grief. I fear the loss of the America I grew up in, the America which promised my ancestors freedom and prosperity. I fear the America in which my children and grandchildren will grow up.
We have all been disappointed at one time or another after an election, but this feels very very different. All of you here know what I mean.
There is no more "Truth, Justice, and the American way" when all of the institutions we trusted and the people we believed were noble have been proven to be fakes and liars.

Are we seriously considering a race to the moral bottom? The winner is the one who cheats best?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
How soon they forget.

#3.....is absolutely correct. Sad it came to this. Should we blame years of Republican negligence for not enforcing the rule of the land against the politicians? How about the complacency of the populace for the moral cancers that were left untreated? America is deteriorating! What could stop this when the evils are emboldened to openly break the law without consequence? Should we allow the destructions to run their course and start from a clean slate after a devastating lesson? Whatever happens, it's all in God's hand and I still pray for His Divine Intervention.

The Steal began four years ago. Hillary did not get elected. She did not have enough votes. So the Dems fixed it. Not enough votes: we will make some more. They went and found vote-making machines. These machines will make as many votes as you want. You just have to tell it how many votes to make, and it will even make the ballots for you. It was no conspiracy. It was a universal agreement to get more votes.
So joe Biden got more votes. He did not need people to vote for him. That is wasteful and inefficient. Just tell the machine how many votes you want, and it will make them. You don't even need to campaign.
