Exactly. But the right will go about their life, and they know this. Overturn this now? Forget about it. The powder keg explodes.

if biden gets sworn in, the odds of the right revolting are very high.  i put it at 85%.  thats my gut feeling.  its the last straw.

Some will. And they will be squashed. They are white suoremacists and racists, remember? The DOJ already said they are the number one domestic terrorist group. It won’t be pretty for the ones who revolt.

There is no longer right and left.  It has become good versus evil.  Make no mistake, we are at war.

the boston tea party is a good parallel here.  

1. the fringe group raided the supplies.
2. the initial reaction by a lot of colonists was to condemn the boston tea party.
3. then the government used a heavy hand on the perps.
4. that caused a lot of colonists to revolt.

i've said many times before that we are in the phase where both sides look for martyrs.  One way could be for a select few counties to claim to secede.  mainline republicans mock it and reject it.  then the government uses a heavy hand and suddenly those counties turn into martyrs and a slew of counties are seceding.

The 'fringe groups' who didn't not like taxation without representation are now "we don't like the representation" so we need to revolt. 

Why do you hate the Constitution and America?

I see it as being a little more complex.

Obama flaming racial tensions, pushed socialist policies, enough people were annoyed by this that we found ourselves with a President Trump; he was a big fock you to the status quo in Washington DC, and I think ALL of them were rather afraid of the guy.  Eventually Republicans capitulated for the most part.

Trump was the pendulum swinging to the right, the current Biden/Harris is a swing back to the left now, with these two clowns being even WORSE than Obama.  Imagine what the right swing might look like in another 4 years?

The problem here is that the left swing is pretty insidious, with the Democrats now effectively using a shocktroop mob,  but I think the Dem's might be overestimating their control of that mob.

Yes there is a trust issue......it started with the fake Russian collusion hoax that the MSM really pushed, and then we saw from Dems and their media allies a steady drum of really spurious sh!t.....now we know they care NOTHING about the truth, and ONLY about political power through any means necessary....that is a big trust problem right there.....they played so hard that they played themselves.

What’s the alternative? Who do they anger if they do or don’t certify? Peaceful protesters or mostly peaceful protesters? Who’s being doxed and threatened , the people who vote to certify or those that don’t?the establishment of the Republican Party wants Trump gone too. You do realize that, right? On one hand you have Trump and his voters , on the other hand you have a United, and violent, left and the Republican establishment. Why do you think it would go in Trumps favor? You think that a system that can be rigged, of which there is no doubt, couldn’t possibly have been rigged? 

Right right. So everyone is lying and risking their personal freedom just so Trump will not be president. That's a lot of people who have to be bought off so that the "true" results never come to light.

Election officials and government officials in these states hate Trump so much that they can be bought to go along with a rigged election. Thats a lot of hate. If you assume the hate for Trump runs that deep, then why is it so hard to believe the voters hate runs that deep as well, voting in Biden just so that Trump will not return for a second term?

The republican reps changed their stance. Is it surprising that Biden won the county that Detroit is in? They were going to have to change their stance eventually.

And they just did that because they came to their senses? Whatever man. You see what you want, thats evident. Enjoy your reaffirmation of your original beliefs. It’s hard to let go sometimes and can be a bit unnerving. Play it safe, you’ll be better off mentally. I get it. I wish  I never started paying attention. I was better off.

Adult men who idolize a 300-pound toddler having a weeks long spasm over an outcome they don’t like. Not much of a surprise there.

I find it hard to believe that they can bury that much tampering without any gop reps spotting it. Then I find it even harder to believe that they were able to buy out every single gop rep.

This thread is filled with instances of that guy who was hurt by losing trust in some woman, so for the rest of their lives they refuse to trust another woman for fear of their trust being broken again

Right. Let’s not make analogies about losing trust in the opposite sex. Not a good look for you. Anyway, why did they change their mind in Wayne county? Was the original determination wrong? 

[Gladiators 1,993]

Can you imagine following social media so closely that it determines how you vote, rather than results?  I'd put the over/under on number of Trump tweet's that I've seen at 10.  I don't know what he says on there and I don't care.  I only care about results.

Clearly there are a lot of men voting in this country who think like most women.

70 million of them, actually.  And there are also 70 million teenaged women and cucks who didn't think he could croon like Obammy, so they bring up Trumps weight and hair.

Stuff breaks more easily and takes longer to heal. 

There were two weeklong events I attended and did a stupid amount of walking in dress shoes, which resulted in the plantar fasciitis, which dragged on for like 18 months. I should have nipped it in the bud and been way more aggressive at treating it, but I finally figured out a way to beat it.

Then about a year ago I got this stabbing pain on the inside of my left knee. It totally derailed my running, and I could barely even ride a bike. 

With the gyms closed, I couldn't engage in the kind of therapeutic core and leg workouts I learned long ago in physical therapy to solve a nagging hip problem. The ensuing minor weight gain hasn't helped.

I thought I might have osteoarthritis or something torn, but once I got back in the gym and did the workouts regularly, I got the pain down to a level that allowed me to run again.

I've got my long runs up to 6 and can do 3 miles at a 9:30 pace, which is embarrassing because it wasn't long ago that sub-7:30s for that was easy.

My objective now is to do a 5K under 24 minutes.

Freaking Rusty III got into cross country and now has a PR of 17:50 in a 5K, blowing away my PR by 41 seconds.

If that is a XCountry time, that's nearly identical to my PR.  Rusty III needs 18 more seconds to beat my little brother's PR set as a junior.
