Set aside all the faux president talk.

You arrived on earth from another planet.

You watch a couple of biden appearances and realize this guy is out to pasture.

then consider if the majority of the people elected him to office, the country has to be populated by sub intelligent beings.

Can it be true the country is so gullible, ignorant and flat out stupid that they would elect a mentally struggling man in the oval office????

If you don;t believe that, then you must conclude invalid means were used to elect a man who needs drugs titrated each weekend in DE to appear solvent enough to spout lies and delusional exaggerations before he stumbles off stage in the wrong direction.

National security is threatened as long as both sides of the aisle allow this sick man to remain in office.

biden as 'president' is a threat to democracy and national security. We are all passengers onthe Titanic and order niknacks from Amazon as the ship sinks.

The PA State Supreme Court just ruled that undated and incorrectly dated mail-in ballots are invalid according to state law and cannot be counted. They were counted in the 2020 election.

And there are others...

Check the other cases. It’s worth noting none of the cases succeeded in overturning the election. Mr. Trump will be reinstated as POTUS any day now

In this new half-hour special, Jordan goes back on the campaign trail before the midterms to find out who’s defending America’s elections, who is denying them, and just how civil we can keep America’s next civil war.

Denying election results has been common since 2000. Heck, many of the Republican complaints are just the same ones the Democrats used when Bush was in office.

The only people believing this garbage propaganda are extreme partisans, people with memory impairment due to old age or injury and those too young to have experienced the 2000's that haven't figured out they're being lied to yet.

I didn't say the election was overturned. I said several states held Constitutionally invalid federal elections, and there is undeniable proof that is true. What puzzles me is why SCOTUS chose NOT to defend and support the US Constitution (which they've sworn an oath to do and is their JOB) when specifically asked to do so. Why were several states' Constitutionally invalid election results allowed to count in the 2020 election? That invalidates the entire outcome.

We had an Election in 2020 and the winner of that Election is living in the White House.
We are in the middle of a Mid-Term Election now - to be concluded in 5 days, counting today.

The REALITY is NO, we are not “unfollowing democracy”. There is NO “ threat to Democracy”.

It doesn’t matter if one Political Party or the Other (and both have complained) didn’t like the Results of any Election - those were declared the winner were sworn into office.

It’s a FACT that State Legislative bodies pass Laws on conducting Election in each State. It’s also a FACT that in some States - those LAWS were not followed. Whatever damage may have been done is up to the States to correct for future Elections - which is what we did in Texas. It was a pretty simple Fix. Any Election Official caught not following Texas Election Law gets a hefty fine AND mandatory prison sentence.

democracy noun

de·​moc·​ra·​cy | \ di-ˈmä-krə-sē \
plural democracies
Definition of democracy
1a : government by the people
especially : rule of the majority
b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections[
2 : a political unit that has a democratic government
3 capitalized : the principles and policies of the Democratic party in the U.S.
from emancipation Republicanism to New Deal Democracy
— C. M. Roberts
4 : the common people especially when constituting the source of political authority
5 : the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges

So when the President of the United States constantly says “Threat to Democracy” even after Millions of Citizens have Voted and will Vote next Tuesday — what is he really saying? What are all the Leftist Media and other prominent Democrats REALLY saying?

They are defining Democracy as ONLY the Election of Democrats.

They are aware this Voting is a THREAT to the Democrat Party. They will just have to suck it up, as all losers in Elections have always done. They can complain all they please (as losers have always done) - but Democracy is served when the People VOTE.

No Political Party is allowed to own the word “Democracy”.
It’s an insult to suggest otherwise. The People decide, not a Political Party.

This is like lumping all the Democrats including this poster with the looters, rioters, and burners in Seattle and Portland. When they don't get their way, they take to the streets to burn, grab a flat screen TV, in their mostly peaceful protest!
Most Americans, 99% accept the results of any election. They might not like the results but they accept it and go on with their lives. This holds true for both parties, Republicans and Democrats.
2020 election denying is ongoing, Gregg. Republicans, independents and Democrats are witness to it. The MAGA GOP is who & what has rejected decent & principled Republicans, not Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

Trump IS the de facto leader of the Republican Party. His Big Lie election denying movement is real and present. To this day, we have a former POTUS continue to claim he won, that his election was stolen, and he should have been re-installed over the will of the people, over our rule of law---that is destabilizing to these United States of America and that indeed is what is wrong in our beloved country.

His followers are MAGA Republicans, and his anointed and appointed candidates are all over the ballot this November, running on MAGA lies. Trump's acolytes like Kari Lake and Doug Mastriano and on and on are telling folks not to trust elections, unless they win. More than 300 election deniers — candidates and political leaders bald-faced lying to you, promoting fraudulent assertions & baseless conspiratorial claims that the 2020 election was stolen from the disgraced & defeated former POTUS — are on ballots across the U.S. in this midterm. That, sir, is what is rotten in America today.

In every election, Democrats win, Republicans win, and independents win. That’s democracy. And when the losers refuse to accept the outcome, when they threaten election officials for not helping them overturn results, and when they rally their supporters to vigilante-style violence, our democracy is put in jeopardy.

Over 60% of Americans will have an election denier on their ballot on Tuesday. Big Lie Trump promoters, ---each professing fealty to Trump and his anti-democratic movement. Principled Republicans, independents and Democrats know democracy is on the line. Putting these MAGA candidates in power could upend the crucial American ideal of free and fair elections.

We the United States of America are only as strong as our belief in our system. You can't only have faith when your candidate or political party wins. You can’t love your country only when you win. That is what Trump's MAGA Republicanism has tragically sold millions of Americans. And that purchase dismantles democracy. That breaks America and then our democracy is gone. Gone for ALL of us, including Trump's people.

This 2022 election is a genuine test of citizenship.

Democrats think democracy is at stake if we hold an election in which voters cast their ballot for the candidate of their choice.

What????

Doesn't anybody believe any of this non-sense? I mean really? Anybody?

I know, it's the most absurdly ridiculous thing in the world.


Like this video: https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/st...14192771805184




To think that the country feels the same way as these media "elites" do, is beyond hilarious. The above link, that was the intro to New Amsterdam after Roe v. Wade... probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing I think I've ever seen in my life.

These people literally live in a bubble... like, I've lived in D.C., even Chicago and throughout New England (MA, CT). These people literally do not travel. They act like they're so learned and well-traveled, but visiting San Francisco, Vancouver, and that one European trip you made back in the day... does not make you "aware" of the world. These people literally only surround themselves with people who think and act exactly like they do. They have absolutely no clue what the rest of the world things, believes, and does.



They are so far divorced from reality that it's appalling that anyone could be so oblivious.
