Are you awake? No riots, no BLM Protests in some time.


However, huge Trump support rally in DC on Saturday.

Million MAGA March. Right Wingers “stop the steal.”

We’ll see how sedate this group is!

LMAO "trump support rally". Is the President so unstable he needs support?

Um ok, a bunch of snowflakes going to Washington DC...what, exactly, are they hoping to accomplish?

Rallies and protests, whether you agree with them or not, are intended to bring attention and change to a cause.

But what is the goal of a Million MAGA rally? Do they think SCOTUS is going to say "well who cares about state's rights, there's a YUGE crowd out there so we should just do what they're saying".

Stay home, you're not accomplishing anything except exposing yourselves for the drama queens you are.

Just go to Google or Youtube.
Search for - I don't know, elections update, or Trump news.

Then, watch what happens. You will see ONE pro Trump FOX news and rows and rows and rows of bashing him others, starting with CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and according "news"papers.

How about national news networks cutting - still lawful president - off, the very moment he mentioned election fraud? Across ALL networks, like as if someone on central switchboard flipped the switch?

Ok, so will SCOTUS support self proclaimed president elect? One, that was announced as such by CNN et al? You ever heard about proper legal steps for one to actually be lawfully announced as president? And, until such announcement, NO ONE is legally entitled to such position and, what's worse, to making any promises to heads of foreign countries. Remember Flynn case?

Until all proper steps are completed, what is about a month away, Mr Biden is nothing, nothing but another US citizen. Pretending to be a president and associating with foreign citizens smells of high treason for such person.

Joe Biden is a former Vice-President and can communicate with foreign heads of state if he wishes. He cannot make policy or go into any formal agreements, but he can discuss whatever he wants to with them. They all seem thrilled to having him be the new President, come January 20.

Didn't you get the memo? FOX is now a leftist media channel.

It's a sure way to know that democracy has been compromised.


If Americans knew what communism is and what kind of inhuman lifestyle inevitibly comes with it, they would blow their own brains out before wanting to implement that system in US soil...
The problem is that Americans do not have any idea about communism/socialism in action because historically the US was never under Soviet – or any other forms of authoritarian - occupation. Maybe the oldest generations of African-Americans could have some vague idea about the kind of oppression that communism means when it is truly set in action.


I'm actually from a real post-communist / post-socialist country which is now part of the European Union. Under the socialist era, when western TV programs, music, etc. were still censored (even traveling to western “imperialist” countries were practically banned for the average citizen), the United States was the ultimate symbol of the free world for us. The movie “Moscow on the Hudson” with Robbin Williams presents it beautifully.

People in the USA are so sucked into their own political party’s bubble that they are blind to notice that the ultimate monster is already banging at their country’s door, maybe half-step already inside. You don't realize that the censorship that is happening all over your televisions, social media platforms and popular online discussion forums is already the first step of authoritarianism set in motion.
It should be a common a goal - outside of the current political realm - to stop censorship until your idea of freedom that you comfortably take for granted will be taken from you irreversibly.
I appreciate your post. These dolts that are laughing at you are just that. Dolts. And they know it too.

Remember, I questioned the allegation that "only one party" receives favorable media coverage and I still see no reason to believe that to be true.





It is easier to list the outlets that are in favor of Conservatives then it is to list those that are against.

Think of FOX, Rush and other Right Wing Radio shows, there are a few newspapers and a few web sites and that is about it.

Case in point, my mom watches the typical shows on Hallmark, CBS, ABC, NBC and reads a daily paper that does not like Trump. When CHOP/CHAZ was happening she didn't know what that was because her Left leaning news outlets simply did not talk about it. Imagine that, a group of Far Left Loons take over several blocks in a major US city and the "news" downplays it?



They are all in the pockets of the Democrats from Hollywood to SNL, to NPR and to what passes as news shows these days.



The OP is right. Our democracy is on life support because those that oppose the Left are being silenced.

What the OP wrote is true. His main talking points are spot on.


Trump was the punching bag of the Left 24/7/365. From the morning talk shows to late night comedy with CNN and the rest of the alphabet stations filling in the middle.



Facebook Google and Twitter shut down anything to do with Hunter Biden.



Right leaning posts on Facebook are subject to fact checking and erasure. I know a few guys that were put in "facebook jail" and had their accounts suspended for posting Right Wing opinion pieces.



People with Right Leaning values and others that dare to show support for Trump have been shamed, denounced and physically attacked. AOC is making a list of Trump supporters so she can ruin their lives.


The election was compromised with cheating by the Dems and they have successfully disenfranchised millions of people into believing that their vote does not count.



The Left is setting us up for some sort of democratic socialism.



America is teetering on the edge and if the Dems win the Senate we will find ourselves missing the good old days of Trump when America was number one, but even being proud of our country is under attack because that is deemed as racist and nationalist.



We are in trouble but the media will simply tell us we are doing so well and the sheeple will believe them.



Pullease! When Trump acts like a jackass calling everyone names and disparaging them without cause and it's reported that he acts like a jackass calling everyone names and disparaging them without cause it IS NOT unfair coverage, like it or not it's the TRUTH!

It's not SCOTUS' job to support either candidate. It is SCOTUS' job to rule on cases, which have not even made it to SCOTUS because the Trump team has no evidence.

As a former VP, Biden can talk with whoever he wishes. If foreign leaders are calling him to offer congratulations, there is nothing against that. To your point, yes he can't act as a President but nothing to date has shown that he has done anything but act in a legal manner.

I find it interesting the loose application of the word "treason" by anyone who follows Trump. Trying to upend a lawful election is step one towards treasonous behavior. Read up on treason before you throw around words that have legal implications.
