I'm so sick of the media, all the back & forth on here, some of my neighbors....I'm just plain sick of it all and want it to be done and gone. Then maybe we can find something worthwhile to chat about, the election sure doesn't seem to be. If it all should finally go to the House, that means the election is null and void and the 435 members of the House vote for the president which would most likely mean Trump wins. In that vote, each state gets one vote, makes no difference the number of members that are Democrats or Republicans. One vote per state and in this case, with 50 states in the union....37 are Republican. I'd like to see things settled long before that scenario because I think it would create even more strife than we now have. I believe I'm correct in the procedure re. the House voting, if not I'm sure someone will chime in since I'm going by memory from more years ago than I care to admit.  Lips Sealed

Agreed John! I’ve had enough too. I’ve been a news junkie forever, now I find it easier to do other things instead of watching that b/s.
I walk 5-7 miles a day, and have made friends with others that started walking when the shutdown happened. I also made friends with the horse people about a mile up the road at the farm.  I stop in on my walks and chat a bit with them. I’ve chipped in helping fix  a couple floors in one of the barns, and in return, there’s always a coffee waiting for me on my morning walk. I also bring peppermint treats to the horses, and they love me!
My wife watches way too much news, both sides then wants to compare the 2 sides and figure out who is lying...ALL OF THEM!! But what do I know...
I do know I’m much happier walking, listening to my tunes, than yelling at the boob tube.  tickedoff   Healthier too!  I worked way too hard losing all that flab to put it back on sitting in that recliner. I’ve quit watching baseball, football, & racing. When they stop the kneeling crap, I might go back. Or not...I’ve got 2 winters worth of firewood all stacked away already.
Don’t know how this all is going to end, but I’m locked & loaded, all hoarded up with stuff, and headed out for a walk.  Smiley

Enjoy the day,
Craig

I suspect that this is the new normal as it has been heading this way for years. Political lying and vote theft  will continue until we the people insist it stop or until the  USA is no longer.

No it is not over, and at least half of the population seems to think it is ok.

I to wish it was over, stopped and properly punished. I just do not see it ending yet.

 Really?  Do you have some kind of inside information that we don't know about? IT'S NOT OVER until the election is certified. It has not been not matter how much Biden and YOU think it is. We have been listening to you and the rest of the liberals bitch and moan for four years that Trump's presidency was illegitimate. That is was stolen from you. Now we are supposed  to "suck it up" and move on. I think not.  Now it's our turn. Don't like it,tough.

I think about 98% of the country will be glad when its all over and done with. But I want any allegations of potential voting fraud (not just voters but HOW THEY WERE COUNTED) thoroghly investigated.

I have a question. 

Why is it over? 

Is not, was not, the current President, President Trump, bludgeoned, harassed, wrongfully blamed for four years by "the other side".  The side that never accepted the outcome of a supposedly fair election.  The side that never stopped trying to remove President Trump from office.

And, just as someone else said, unless someone officially concedes it is not over until the Electoral College votes.

To those who wish to believe that Joe Biden has not won the election and will be the next President. That is your right. But, it is not right. Donald Trump won in '16 with far slimmer counts. He was acknowledged as the next President the next day by all of us. (You included)
  Trump and his campaign has tried every strategy to deny this. NONE have worked out. Some have been pretty embarrassing. Lawyers and their firms are bailing out on these cases. It's over. It was apparent from Trump's speech yesterday even he realizes this. Whether he can ever come out and admit it, remains to be seen. But we can all decide for ourselves. If you wish to drag out hope until Dec. 14, that is fine. But remember it took you less than a day to accept lesser evidence 4 years ago.
  When you can bring yourself to admit Biden won, think about the irresponsibility of a sitting President trying to stop the counting of votes in America.

The election is over and Trump is and will be our president for the next 4 years.

This election has less to do with the men involved and more to do with the priniciples beliefs of those who are running. It has to do with the direction the USA will take for the next 4 years. One seeks to destroy the USA by combining it with the world. The other seeks to continue in the path to nationalsim and soverinty and respect and caring for the people of the USA. We only have to look at the men who are on board with each canidate. The principles, beliefs and directions they see the USA going.

One has national pride in how the USA was made and how the people can benefit more from the relaxing of rules and regs and removing the corruption in government that many before in government and special interests have benefited from all the time of raping the USA of every resource, liberty and respect that the US Constitution has given us.

The other not able to function signing us on board to every worldly institution that has taken away money time and resources that we as a nation has been blessed with. Allowing the special interests into the government once again to corrupt the halls of courts, justice and regulation. Not even being truthful in telling his ability to serve the full term, so in that lie cannot be respectful of his own health and position and selling an image of something that is hollow and empty once his goals for a one world government is achieved.

We have chosen wisely and through the very system that was put in place that was subverted and pervert by the very party that one man represents was temporaryialy called by false media a possible winner.

If wishing made it so I would have won the lottery years ago

When either concedes or the electoral college result is certified
or the house votes.....

This is our constitutional system of our Republic

I am looking forward 12 months and hope to see voter id, signatures match on all ballots. watermarks on all ballots, poll watchers allowed at the table in all cases,  an end of the possibility of computer fraud on voting machines and tabulation machines

I also want to see the death penalty by public hanging on those who would carry a fake box or van load of ballots to a counting place in the dark of night.  There is no greater treason that stealing an election from EITHER side.  That hundreds of people who worked the polls are swearing affidavits punishable by 20 yrs (perjury) tells me we have a systemic cheat and no state where in it occurred may be certified.

This is the consequence of cheating.  It was from the Demoncrats side and for them to complain that people to not want to accept it is all I need to know to prove the postulate 

When the collusion about fake russia deal was clear, I heard Trump say he never wanted any future president to go thru what he went thru.   I agree.

You know you cannot make this stuff up.   I mean really.   

So, now Parler (an alternative to Twitter) is a "threat to democracy".  Yes, you heard it right and straight from CNN.

From Brian Stelter  (An American political commentator who is the chief media correspondent for CNN and host of the CNN program Reliable Sources)

"There’s this new social media app called Parler getting a lot of attention, because conservatives are leaving, saying they’re leaving Twitter and Facebook, going off to Parler because they believe Parler is a safer space for them. What we’re seeing is even more of a bunker mentality in right-wing media. And ultimately, that’s not good for the country."

If you dare to stand against them you are a threat to democracy.  If you don't believe that, read the article linked below.

Folks, I did not want this to turn into a political peeing contest again. That's the very thing I'm sick and tired of and it needs to stop. I know a lot of media people and members of the left are irritated because Trump won't concede but remember, neither Gore for over a month. My suggestion; zip the lip until the Electoral College convenes and the individual states do, in fact, certify the results. Until then regardless of personal opinion, it isn't over. Granted, it appears to be so unless the various investigations and recounts prove otherwise....and no, there hasn't been a wholesale defeat of the law suits waged against various states. If you're getting your information re. that issue from the MSM, you need to change where you're sourcing that info. Frankly, if this string keeps going down the same road I'd like it to be locked or deleted in its entirety. At the beginning, I was merely stating a personal state of exasperation because I know we have other things to talk about.

John,
The OP has absolutely no control over where a thread goes but, any thread about the election is going to turn ugly.   Sorry but, that's the way this world turns.

  When you can bring yourself to admit Biden won, think about the irresponsibility of a sitting President trying to stop the counting of votes in America.

In 2016 there were not millions of votes left to count the next day.  I don't think there's much chance that Trump will be successful.  However, I think it's important to shine a light on any fraud.  No one can tell me there was NO fraud, as they are saying.  Fraud has been around for as long as there have been elections... just not to this extent.  Even if it doesn't change any results, the issues need to be resolved, otherwise all future elections will be a joke.  

As an aside, here's one thing that really bothers me.  I stayed up all night on election night.  In the wee hours, several states suspended counting.  Then Biden suddenly took the lead (or significantly narrowed the gap), even though they had stopped counting.  How is that possible?  Throughout election night, they were giving continual updates, there were no huge result dumps like those that occurred after they stopped counting; the same thing occurred in all the states that suspended counting.  Coincidence?

P.S.  From what I understand, the reason to call to stop counting is that once the count is complete and certified, a recount or audit cannot be requested.

If I recall, Hillary Clinton conceded the following morning. If the votes in the various states was close enough to challenge, her Campaign would have done so and rightfully so.

Nothing is official. Challenges still are being mounted and investigations pursued. The election officially and legally continues.

Only some states quit counting that night (morning) most kept going as I remember. I haven't seen anybody say there was NO fraud. The term I keep hearing them say is "no wide spread fraud". In example, near enough to alter the election. After all these court cases, all I've seen is a few handfuls in the entire country. Some were in favor of Trump.

Exactly what I said.  That's why they wanted to stop the count, to prevent certification of the count.  

Quote
Only some states quit counting that night (morning) most kept going as I remember.

Also exactly what I said.  The states that did not suspend counting, did not have that huge Biden surge.  

Quote
I haven't seen anybody say there was NO fraud. The term I keep hearing them say is "no wide spread fraud".

A lot were saying NO fraud.  Then, after being called on it, they changed the narrative to "no wide-spread fraud."  As usual, they all changed the narrative is unison, with the exact same phrase.  

A few headlines (going from memory):
Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud
We can be confident that Trump's voter fraud claims are baloney

The certification is governed by the Constitution. To stop counting votes was not going to alter that. He wanted to stop counting votes because he was falling behind. It was shameful for the sitting President to try to get states to stop counting votes.

If the count isn't complete, how can it be certified?

  Trump and his campaign has tried every strategy to deny this. NONE have worked out. Some have been pretty embarrassing. Lawyers and their firms are bailing out on these cases. It's over. It was apparent from Trump's speech yesterday even he realizes this. Whether he can ever come out and admit it, remains to be seen. But we can all decide for ourselves. If you wish to drag out hope until Dec. 14, that is fine. But remember it took you less than a day to accept lesser evidence 4 years ago.
  When you can bring yourself to admit Biden won, think about the irresponsibility of a sitting President trying to stop the counting of votes in America.

If I recall, Hillary Clinton conceded the following morning. If the votes in the various states was close enough to challenge, her Campaign would have done so and rightfully so.

Nothing is official. Challenges still are being mounted and investigations pursued. The election officially and legally continues.  

The left did not acknowledge Trump as President.  They continually called his Presidency illegitimate.  Many house and senate members would not attend the inauguration (unprecedented).  Less than 20 minutes after the inauguration, the Washington Post reported that the push for impeachment had begun.
They acknowledged it the very next day ! It was freaking heartbreaking !

For 4 years they called his Presidency illegitimate.

The certification is governed by the Constitution. To stop counting votes was not going to alter that. He wanted to stop counting votes because he was falling behind.

If the count isn't complete, how can it be certified?
When the Supreme Court stepped in on Florida in 2000, they certified the election without counting all the votes. The certification is going to happen. I don't know if anything can stop it, short of the Supreme Court stepping in. I'm not sure even they could stop it.

We are probably pissing off John.  Undecided The election and for all intents the counting is done. When it's brought before the Electoral College it will be official. The claims of voter fraud brought by Trump and the Republican Party have been thrown out. It's over.

Sorry John  Kiss

In closing, I'll just say, Trump did surprisingly well with blacks, Asians, Latinos, and gays.  Biden did surprisingly well with Civil War and WWI vets.   2funny

Not over until December 14th. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
Hey you're getting a promotion at work on December 14th. But x,y and z can happen in the meantime to cause you not to get the promotion. Do you go tell everyone you know you got a promotion before it actually happens? Come December 14th you go in for your promotion and they say sorry x happened and we gave it to someone else. Do you want to explain to everyone you previously told why you didn't get it?

I am concerned that if this ends up in a civil war, the Biden folks will have the advantage, since so many of his voters are veterans of the first one...

How to Kill a Zombie (and Make Sure It Stays Dead)

Zombies are notoriously hard to kill, mostly because they’re already dead. Their lungs, their hearts, and their nervous systems are pretty much decorative at this point. The only thing that drives them is that spark of undead life in what’s left of their brains.

Fire may seem like a sure bet, but it’s a very inefficient way to kill a zombie. Sure, it will do the trick eventually. But in the meantime, all you’ve managed to do is turn that insatiable, slaughtering ghoul into an insatiable, slaughtering ghoul that’s ON FIRE!

No, the only way to take down a zombie is to destroy its brain. Decapitating isn’t enough, as a zombie without a body is still capable of giving chase (although admittedly only downhill). If you want that zombie to drop, you’re going to have to cause more brain damage than five straight hours of talk radio.

Since there’s nothing more annoying than having to kill the same zombie over and over, here are some cool zombie-killing methods that will hopefully do the trick once and for all.

Drop a piano on the zombie.
Actually, anything sufficiently large and heavy should do the trick, but pianos make a truly satisfying discordant sound when they come crashing down on top of a zombie or two. Plus, for extra style points, you can walk over to the wrecked piano and play Taps on the remaining keys.

The downside is that it’s a lot of effort to go to just to take out a handful of zombies. You’ve got to rig the hoist and pulley, and then you’ve got to tie a rope around that piano and hoist it up twenty feet or so. And then, you’ve got to somehow convince the zombies to stand in one place long enough to let the piano do it’s business. One thing you might try is painting a target on the sidewalk and setting a bucket of fresh brains in the center. You might even place a sign nearby that reads “FREE BRAINS” to alleviate the zombies’ suspicions.

Efficiency: 3 out of 10
Style: 9 out of 10

Go after the zombie with a chainsaw.
This method is recommended for advanced zombie slayers only, as it requires you to get dangerously close to your targets. Be sure to wear protective clothing and goggles to prevent injury or zombie bites. Stand still and let the zombie approach. As soon as it moans, “Braaaains!” and comes in for a taste, let it have some chainsaw in the forehead! Remember, the goal isn’t to decapitate the zombie, but to totally decimate its skull and all it contains. The bloody mess you make is liable to attract more zombies, so make sure you have plenty of fuel and an exit strategy.

Efficiency: 5 out of 10
Style: 7 out of 10

Double tap to the brain.
Admittedly this method of zombie execution isn’t nearly as showy as some of the others on the list, but there’s a reason why it’s known as the old reliable. As long as you have plenty of ammo and a vantage spot, you can pick off the zombies at your leisure. Not only are they great for target practice, but you can play some really fun games as long as the ammo holds out. Don’t forget to set aside a bullet for yourself and one for each of the survivors in your group, just in case the worst happens. Yeah, it’s depressing to consider, but boy, will your face be red if you come up short of bullets when the zombies inevitably overwhelm and overrun you!

Efficiency: 7 out of 10
Style: 3 out of 10

Hit the zombie with a car.
Preferably, you should use somebody else’s car, because all that zombie goo and matted hair can really screw up your grill. Make sure you drive relatively slowly, as plowing into a zombie at 40 MPH will probably total the car and leave you severely injured. Try to keep your speed around 20 MPH or so, to make sure the zombie goes under the car (and the tires), minimizing damage to it while protecting your vehicle. Make sure to check your mirrors and, if the zombie is still moving, throw your car into reverse and back over it. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Efficiency: 4 out of 10
Style: 6 out of 10

Just wait out the Zombie Apocalypse.
Zombies might be hard to kill, but they’re not exactly built for the long haul. Most of them only have a life span of three years or so before they decompose entirely, and an unseasonably warm summer might even knock that number down a bit. If you can find a safe place with plenty of food to hole up, just give the zombies five years or so to deteriorate and die out. And then step out reclaim your place in the glorious aftermath of a zombie-free world! Of course, you might want to do something about the millions of desiccated corpses that are no doubt littering the street at this point…

Efficiency: 3 out of 10
Style: 2 out of 10

Wood chipper!
It’s not efficient, but man, is it awesome! If you can capture a zombie and somehow incapacitate it, you can cram it feet-first into a wood chipper and turn it into undead mulch. You should probably get a friend to help you, as bound zombies can be a bit unwieldy. Also, make sure you stand away from the chute as the zombie leavings can permanently stain your clothes. You may not put an end to the Zombie Apocalypse with this method, but at least you’ll have a way to pass the time during those tedious afternoons while you’re waiting for humanity to reclaim the planet.

I actually turned down a weekend event of my brothers for scotch and shooting, partially because yes, I have enough for The Big Bogaloo.... But not enough that I'm comfortable shooting for fun right now.....

The triplets are angry, but until Biden concedes (Or the worse case scenario happens) I'm not comfortable taking them out to the land and using any ammo for "fun" purposes that may be needed for "Battle of Athens" purposes in short order.....

While I thought I was a student of southern history, I must admit I was not aware of The Battle of Athens, Tennessee.

For those that are interested here is one account for The Abbeville Blog

Looks like the Democrat Party has not changed much in 65 years (sort of).
