#1 Hansen is right of course, and the city burned while Nero the people sat on their balconies and gleefully continued to vote for democrats.

#2 but did they in actuality vote for the Dems? certainly there is a hard core group of dead-enders and LIV who will pull the lever in knee jerk fashion for anything with a D next to its name. But after all the fraud that is coming out (media protestations to the contrary) who knows if that group was EVER that large to begin with.

If they were trying to steal this one, it isn't the first time.

#6 The Democrat machines have been doing this sort of thing for decades. Even if he doesn't win Trump will be doing all of us a favor if he can tear this garbage apart and end it for good.

GOP should be ready to put election transparency laws onto ballots in 50 states.

Your scale is off. Boss Tweed and his fellows started making a difference in the 1850s...

#8 The end result of this is 70 million plus votes will think the election was stolen. 2021 will be the year shit falls apart completely.

#9 A Republican polling email this morning asked what news sources we were using instead of Fox. This highlights an urgent issue in my mind, that the right needs a unified and trusted source to demonstrate resolve to overcome this existential threat to the Republic. The deep state must see and fear the public’s anger and determination to undercut the swelling belief that they will get away with this. If we cannot show massive support through some media source to encourage our allies and daunt the belief that they’re winning the greatest theft pf power in our history.

#10  This highlights an urgent issue in my mind, that the right needs a unified and trusted source

I disagree that we need a unified source, NoMoreBS. A unified source is a single point of failure that is easily burrowed into and undermined, as Fox News has been. What we need is lots of news sources providing overlapping fields of fire, so to speak, in such a way that they check each other’s work even before facing the lies, forgeries, and fantasies of the leftwing legacy media.

#11 We only get CNN and BBC here. Well you know how I feel about Trump but I simply couldn't stand the sanctimonious attitude of Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon. This is not journalism.

I found one of the most reliable, no nonsense reporting is done by the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

So yes, get as many sources as possible and use your own brain as much as you can.

#12 Neue Zürcher Zeitung. seems pretty thin

#13 This is not journalism.

You got that right. If I had to call it anything, I'd call it propaganda. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN are all on the same page all the time. What power could make that happen?

#14 2021 will be the year shit falls apart completely.

Maybe not the end but the beginning of the Long Slide into a third world, Latin-style oligarchy.

2021 will see the beginning of these hallmarks of Mexican, Brazilian, Argentine etc chaos countries:

- PRI-worthy electoral fraud

- High inflation. Already underway in the Ag/food sector
- Currency debasement

- hollowing out of small businesses and the professional middle classes

- expansion of state sector union power & size

- massive escalation of public sector corruption, graft, self-dealing, pension chicanery

- kangaroo courts

- hollowing out of charter schools, suppression of homeschooling, harassment of private and parochial schools by a newly-dominant teachers' union

- open borders to enable the complete latinization of American society, governance and other institutions

#15 An alternate is 2021 might be the year where the corrupt political machines in a number of liberal cities are rooted up and torn apart and liberal shave to convince people of their policies in order to win, and thus slip into decline.

#16 What has been revealing is how vast the Deepstate is, the extent to which it is unified in resistance to reform and clean-up, and the ends to which it will go to block such efforts.
