Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2567 – November 10, 2020, 01:02:03 pm I think that article I read is going to be prophetic. It really does seem that all roads lead back to Mitch McConnell.If the Republicans had a clear majority in the Senate, McConnell would have been pushing his colleagues to call for a smooth transition of power. But he needs at least 1 of the 2 runoff elections to go to a Republican. He needs Trump to remain potent in order to drive turnout amongst Trump’s base. The last thing he wants is for Trump to go off to Maralago in a huff and refuse to hold rallies to support Purdue and Loeffler.I imagine Trump’s attempts to steal the election will keep the QAnon movement alive. If he had accepted the loss (which of course would never have happened), QAnon conspiracists would have wandered around in a daze like the joggers who had been following Forrest Gump when Forrest told them to go home.

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2569 – November 10, 2020, 01:15:44 pm The concept that the National Guard or Army will discriminate between Republican and Democrat is laughable, the nutters think the army is going to ask first and shot later!Just wait until the first Trumpanutter revolts against being locked down by the National Guard, it'll be anarchy as caused by Trump.The democrats only have to sit it out in their living rooms and wait, prolong the military lockdown, and the Trumpanutters will break out guns blazing after going bunker crazy!

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2570 – November 10, 2020, 01:20:22 pm Who says the National Guard will lock down the right wing nutters? In Wisconsin, the police regarded militias as informal deputies. They allowed Rittenhouse and others to wander around with long guns, gave them water and thanked them for their support.

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2575 – November 10, 2020, 03:23:36 pm Wow, my prediction that Trump would lose it over the Pfizer announcement was correct. Though that doesn’t mean I’m Nostradamus. Let’s face it, the Trumps are predictable. Both Trump and Don Jr say there was a conspiracy against Trump Apparently, the CIA Director, Gina Haspel, is likely to face the axe too. No shortage of stupid people to take the place of the top defence and security people in Trump’s government. Quote Selected
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2576 – November 10, 2020, 03:30:33 pm More than a year ago I had a good laugh reading a Trump booster forum, they posed the question and then debated, "What do we do if Trump is really a nutter?"It's amazing when you think about then try to rationalise the mindset behind the posing of that question on a Pro-Trump forum!

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2579 – November 10, 2020, 04:28:41 pm The footage of Biden with the boy with the speech impediment is interesting.
