Yeah, well, thanks, Ben, we appreciate everything that you and Tom and George and the rest of the boys did for us, but, you know, eternal vigilance turned out to be too fatiguing, and it's just so much easier to let the experts think things out for us and tell us what to do. So, no hard feelings, 'k?
What a mess. I think we're obviously in the "praying for a miracle" stage, and that's what I'm doing, but I cannot adequately express the measure of disgust I have for tens of millions of my fellow citizens. I don't know whether trickery and fraud will ultimately tip the scales or not, but given the vast number of legitimate votes cast for one of the weakest, and one of the most corrupt, Democratic presidential candidates in living memory, the inescapable fact is that the country is infested with people - perhaps dominated by people - who are plagued by a profound ignorance of history, as well as by sheer political imbecility.
And what's the deal with Arizona? Perhaps some cheating going on there, too, but still, Biden got a lot of votes. Is the state now subject to swing blocs made up of transplanted Californians and members of the cult of John McCain? Perhaps Veeshir and other commenters can provide enlightenment.
As for us, Mrs. Paco and I will be spending time with our children and grandchildren over the next several days, so blogging will be light.
God save us.
Update: Michael Walsh's words were never more appropriate and timely than they are now: the Democrats are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. Hundreds of thousands of votes showing up on thumb drives early in the morning, ALL for Biden. Something to remember and keep in the forefront of our minds: people who will blithely deprive you of your right to self-government by fraudulently nullifying your vote will have no qualms about suppressing your other civil rights, and, ultimately, will not even balk at herding you into "reeducation" camps - and worse.
Perhaps some of these tens of thousands of Trump supporters who stood out in the cold to see and hear the president in Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin, and voted for him, only to see their votes illegally cancelled through fraud will start working within their states and counties to insure electoral integrity going forward. I hope so, because we're looking at straight-up gangster government.
Update II Some people are suggesting that, should Trump lose this election, he should run again in 2024. I am absolutely on board with that idea, particularly if our alternatives are naifs like Marco Rubio, buffoons like Mitt Romney or anybody at all in the Bush orbit. Besides, Grover Cleveland - in my opinion, the last Good Democrat President - served two non-consecutive terms. It's been done before. It would all depend on Trump's continuing good health and his own desire, of course.
The Biden campaign has called a "lid" this morning. What? I cannot see that as a sign of confidence. Do they know something the rest of us are not privy to, or is Gropey Grandpa Joe's mind failing faster than they'll admit? Or both.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that should be noted is that the vast majority of mail-in ballots "counted" thus far are only "estimates", based on the voters' party registration. Most of them have not even been opened. I guess that's what's planned for today.
All I can say is that Xi Jinping must be laughing his ass off right about now.
They're stealing the election right in front of us.
ReplyDeleteOver 100,000 late votes in Wisconsin, all for Biden, putting the total number of votes in WI at more than the total number of voters.
Penn the same thing, keep counting until the Dem wins.
This ain't right.
In Michigan, a thumb drive with 128,000 votes was uploaded into the system between 4:00 and 4:30 am. ALL 128,000 votes were for Biden, every single one, and none for anyone else. Twatter and Farcebook are censoring any mention of it (and the Wisconsin shenanigans), Jack Dorsey's propaganda outfit went so far as to censor Trump himself when tweeted "WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?"
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that 128,000 ballots could be uploaded that fast. It's true that I'm not tech savy, but thirty minutes seems fast.
DeleteNew vote shenanigans in AZ (and elsewhere). In-person voters were handed Sharpies to fill out their ballots. Sharpie ink does not scan with optical scanners, and this invalidates the ballot, as the scanners see no votes at all.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers for you Paco & Co. Yes, sometimes our fellow citizens are a big disappointment.
ReplyDeleteI am uncertain about the sharpie thing in AZ.
ReplyDeleteI got a sharpie.
There were a bunch of ovals for judges, one was "keep" one was "don't keep" or something like that.
I accidentally filled in both for one judge, when it was scanned it asked if I wanted to fix that, I didn't.
I didn't fill in most of those ovals, there were at least two dozen and I hadn't checked to see how I wanted to vote on that so I said I didn't want to revote it.
In other words, it tabulated that I had chosen two ovals, so I think the sharpies worked.
There are plenty of shenanigans going on not to focus on those that aren't true.
To say that I am profoundly disappointed is a vast understatement. It looks like, though Russigate didn't work, coronavirus terror did. I'm praying for a miracle too.
ReplyDeleteThe scanners they're using in AZ apparently aren't scanning them.
ReplyDeleteAnd why would someone have their own pen confiscated and handed a Sharpie? That's just bizarre.
(FWIW, I used my own black Bic pen I had with me, and that was okay.)
A little bit of good news on AZ (via Ace) from the NY Times:
ReplyDelete"According to turnout estimates, around 310,000 votes remain in counties won by Trump in 2016. Clinton 2016 counties have around 70,000 votes left to report."
The Groper currently leads by a little over 93K.
Best to you and yours, Paco. I fully understand your desire to withdraw and decompress.
ReplyDeleteAs for a Trump run in 2024, I'm on board. But... I firmly believe that The Donald will be lucky to stay out of prison. You know damn well they want his scalp, and that of Pence, and Pompeo and Barr and McEnaney... probably Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett as well. Ad to the list as you see fit.
You ask, yeah, but on what charges? I respond, doesn't matter. They already have a laundry list, and they'll choose a venue and judge-shop and Trump will be effectively convicted before he enters a plea. Sounds stupid, but does it really sound stupider than donning a pussy hat, standing in the street, and shrieking for TikTok and Facebook? They demand blood.
They accept no restraints, they're moved solely by lust for absolute power.
That's a valid concern, and, although I believe an action like that would represent a case of egregious vindictiveness, and would be seen as such by everyone, including the 65+ million people who voted for Trump, I also think the Democrats are perfectly capable of that kind of overreach.
ReplyDeleteI am perhaps most bothered, and depressed, by the fact that all the deep state traitors are going to get off scott free; there will be no justice at all for them in this world. Perhaps it would have been like that anyway, given John Durham's foot-dragging, and A.G. Barr's occasions of curious inaction, but there was a chance that, at least, things could have been made hot for some of them. Now all I'm left with is the picture of a smug James Comey in his Biden t-shirt, drinking his herbal tea out of a Biden mug. Utterly intolerable.
Things to keep in mind. The DHS took over official ballot printing and distribution after the last election. All official ballots have a watermark and isotope markings. I think we'll see that a lot of the late ballots are counterfeit. Also blockchain, I'm not that familiar with it but it's a verification and identification process that the Trump team patented after the last election.
ReplyDeleteI think we'll see that a lot of the late ballots are counterfeit.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons Trump is suing, I'm sure, because no Democrat will willingly check any of them.
Of course, counterfeit Democrat voters can use legitimate ballots...

RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!
ck: Interesting about the watermarks on the official ballots. I didn't know that.
ReplyDeleteTrump was very prescient about the potential fraud with mail-in ballots.
I don't think Trump will run again in 2024. He'll be 78 years old then, and why would he run for the same kind of bullying he's had to endure this time? What I think he'll do is build on a political base that will chivvy the Democrats relentlessly for the next four years, and that will choose a candidate in 2024 that can continue what he's done. After six months of Plugs McFumbles and the subsequent three and a half years of President Kneepads, people will remember what they had in Trump, and hopefully act accordingly.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind that there will always be those who cling tightly to the stupidity of the Left like Conservatives cling to God, the Constitution and guns.
DeleteThis is, of course, in case Trump doesn't manage to prevail in the courts.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't even bothering with having "ballots" to add hundreds of thousands of votes in Michigan and Wisconsin. So blatant that even Nate Silver thought it was odd that all those votes were uploaded all at once, in the middle of the night, off thumb drives, and every one for Biden.
ReplyDeleteDunno what's so questionable, Spiny.
ReplyDeleteI just spent the day throwing 138,000 quarters into the air, seeing how many times I had to do it before they all came down heads (or tails). Guess how many times? Huh? C'mon, guess!
Anyway, if you're a lefty you can't be bothered with math or probability or statistics. Because racism. So shut up, Nazi!
Deb,
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't "ballots", it was just a "vote tally" without anything else.
