The Right Questions
Why is Hillary Clinton saying, “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstance”? Biden, at the time, was up in most of the polls by 9-15 points. You would think Biden would be declaring victory. How would the presence of normal ordinary Republican poll watchers be intimidating? To whom would that be intimidating?
We have the answer but first a little review of how it used to be. Not that long ago when paper ballots were counted by hand a strange phenomenon would happen on election night. After 11:00 pm in heavily Democrat-controlled precincts, ballot boxes would be “misplaced”. Seems odd as a ballot box is a rather large stationary piece of equipment. How could it be misplaced? This would only happen if the election was close. Next, mysteriously, the ballot boxes were found at about 1:00 am. The ballots were now counted and were 100% voting Democratic. Truly a mystery.
Now we are in a new era. Everything is done by computer. Of course, people still have paper ballots mailed to them. In some states, no one needs to request these as the paper ballots are just mailed out in mass to whatever address & name the board of elections has. Now we have a new strange phenomenon. Virtually all the ballots, regular & mail-in, have been counted early in the evening except for those in heavily Democrat-controlled cities in states with Democrat Governors. In the middle of the night, literally around 4 am, suddenly a huge number of ballots are tabulated all at once from these Democrat-controlled cities. They are 100% voting Democratic. Truly a new information age mystery.
Now back to our original question. Why would Hillary Clinton be so adamant about Joe Biden not conceding when according to the polls it was much more likely that Joe Biden would be declaring victory? I think our answer lies in the new information age mystery. Some of the 4 a.m. vote floods showed a turnout of over 100%. Just an amazing mystery.
I think we are experiencing the same old corruption in brand new internet clothing.

Information warfare is all about gaslighting the public. Which is why Fox News was the one to make the call on Arizona. They’re gaslighting the Right. Paul Ryan took his beating from Joe Biden for a reason back in 2012 and now he has a Fox board seat.

Jim,
That’s not what I want to see on the top of my feed.

Do you remember the Peter Principle? You are promoted until you reach your level of incompetence. Ryan reached his level of incompetence after he ran for High School class president. It’s been downhill since then. What a fantasy world the never-Trumpers live in. You can be an effective political party without winning elections. If you can’t win elections, not only aren’t you effective but you will cease to be a political party.
Why is Gary always talking about going back to Reagan? Why not go all the way back to the Whig Party. After all, Lincoln was such a divisive figure pushing that crazy anti-slavery issue. Who would trust somebody born in a “log cabin” and homeschooled? No ivy league degree, no college degree period. I bet he couldn’t handle a spreadsheet certainly not like Paul Ryan. Railsplitting?! Sounds like some toxic 19th-century macho activity. Henry Clay, now there was a guy Gary would like. Of course, Henry Clay was sort of a proto-fascist but Gary isn’t big on actual details. He likes grand ideas that make you feel good. The actual substance not so much.

Ari,
I must apologize. I knew it might frighten the children and make the cat puke a hairball but it had to be done. Scroll down until you can’t actually see any of HRC but can read the comments.

As I read this my daughter walked past and said, “Eww! What is that?” I laughed because she said “what” rather than “who.” Now I am not sure if I should worry that she is picking up my wiseguy tendencies, or proud that I raised her right.
Vance,
Your daughter obviously has good taste. The person appearing at the top of my post has no taste whatsoever. She got stuck with Slick Willy for life. A fate worse than death for any sane woman. Your daughter has her head mounted facing forward. Be thankful.

Jim
Why is Gary always talking about going back to Reagan?
Because Reagan’s diaries reveal how much he loathed Joe Biden?
Pure,
Hey, I loathed Joe Biden. Never was there a clearer example of a shallow opportunist than Joe Biden. Issues were like new shirts he put on every morning. Everything was to benefit Joe from day one to the present.

Jim
I think that’s a fairly common appraisal of Joe Biden. Loathsome.
I dont understand this election. Joe Biden went nowhere in the primaries, the Democratic base also found him Loathsome. Joe Biden’s campaign was beyond lackluster, it was nearly invisible. He lost support with all the democratic constituencies, Blacks, Latinos, Unions.
Then come election day – he blows everything out of the water – he not only wins the popular vote, he breaks all records. Beating even Barack Obama’s vote totals. This makes absolutely no sense at all. Then there is this:
I think the democrats realized they where over confident in 2016, and didnt think they needed to cheat to win… This time they where prepared and stuffed every ballot box to the gills…
I think president Trump should invoke the 14th amendment article 2, and refuse to accept electors from these states.
Here’s a Biden voter of distinction:
Gosh, I wonder how they voted.Â
Is her broom a push start or pull start? Asking for a friend.
DO NOT ever put that face on Ricochet like that again, PLEASE! Halloween was last week, people!
And, again…why does anyone even care about HRC’s opinion anymore? Why does she merit media coverage?Â
Just heard that 34% of Biden ballots had no down ballot votes on them. Is that true?
Occu,
If this is proven so it is about the maximal indicator of pure fraud. They rushed and filled in the fraudulent ballots so they could run them through the system with the poll watchers locked out in the middle of the night.
… while I pondered weak and weary …
Regards,

Here is a summary of all election irregularities:
Ha! Or as an oxymoron, it’s not the people (i.e. who vote) who count, it’s the people who count (the votes).
