I think Trump has enough fund raising leverage the party will have to kiss his ass.

It doesn't matter to me if Trump decides to go third party or GOP. whichever he decides is the best strategy I'm with him, and him only, 100%

I am getting quite fed up with them being so obvious about the "fix"

Here they are in Time braggin' about the "shadow campaign.

"Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result."

I had the same initial reaction of not wanting to vote and feeling that it did not matter anyway. I have cooled down since then and realized the fight is not over. I believe that Democrats out worked us at the local level. In Georgia I know thats the case. They were on the streets finding votes and doing what they had to do to win. Cheating, law breaking, yeah some of that too.

There are still some strong conservative voices out there and we have yet to see what the next 2 years will bring. God willing Biden will turn more people off and the Democrats will continue to show their asses. Maybe we swing the pendulum back our direction.

Congratulations to those who are just now discovering that politics in general are corrupt and that politicians very often don’t do what we would like them to. Anyone who didn’t know that before is either very young and/or naïve and hasn’t been paying attention: “As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.”

I understand the urge to just throw up one’s hands and say, “Screw it, I’m having nothing more to do with the entire process,” but if that accomplishes anything whatsoever, it will be to make it more likely that the enemy will have his way with even less opposition than they face now. In fact of course, a single vote has probably never been decisive in a national election, but at least voting gives us the right to bitch; not voting for that reason merely makes it possible to be identified as “part of the problem” along with the rest of Group W—and rightly so.

I have never said I would not vote. I did say that I am done voting republican straight ticket. I have faithfully voted republican since Clinton's rein of terror (when I turned 18).

What I have said consistently is that unless the person has a record that proves they are true a conservative and/or constitutionalist and/or Trump like, I won't vote for that person, regardless if they are a republican or not. I am done believing their words and promises. I will vote 3rd party or write in if there are no good republican options.

Just to be clear, I will never miss a chance to vote (assuming I have my mental faculties and understand what/who I am voting for). I also believe that voting is quickly becoming, or has become meaningless. But I'll continue to participate in the charade.

It certainly feels better to pretend our votes matter.

Seems like the new administration is going to go after you meme makers. (If this has been posted I will delete)

Just watched it (and D/Led to save). The numbers and categories he gives indeed show Trump won. Sadly his experts are not and will not be believed by anyone in a position to do anything about it. The system is corrupt and broke.

SAVE AMERICA!

HA...

Maybe part of what I postulated, and the timing of which, may come true!

From the Daily Mail, so that:

Trump's revenge tour

The Daily Mail isn't exactly impartial. That article sports polls that are, in my opinion, bullshit.

You all speak of voting like it will matter. Til we fix the system that they have in place we cannot have a legitimate election.

Of course voting still matters, particularly at the local level. The only elections that are vulnerable are state wide national elections like Senators and the President. Jesus, conservatives are the most pessimistic sons of bitches on the planet. Like the Scottish pessimist and optimist. The pessimist says it can't get worse than this. The conservative (optimist) says oh yes it can.

Snap out of it! Don't disengage.

This!

We have to fix this broken system.

Have folks not been paying attention to what happened?

We have been usurped.

We have to fix this, first, then votes will again matter.

They've been rubbing our face in this and we just forget about it?

The Left won’t be satisfied until he’s in pauper’s prison.

We owe that Patriot so much. I will never forgive the left or democrats for what they put this country through the last 4-5 years.

Enjoy.

I'll miss Dobbs' commentary. He's one of the straight-shooters.


Fox News Media cancels Lou Dobbs's show

Fox News Media announced Friday that it has canceled Lou Dobbs's show on Fox Business, ending the highest-rated program on the business network.

Dobbs, a loyal ally of former President Trump who promoted theories about election fraud following his loss last year, hosted the evening show for a decade.

A Fox News Media spokesperson confirmed the cancellation of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" to The Hill, saying it was part of programming changes that are “regularly” weighed.


“As we said in October, FOX News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on FOX Business – this is part of those planned changes. A new 5PM program will be announced in the near future,” the spokesperson said.

The show had aired twice nightly, at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. eastern time. Starting Monday, the interim show at 5 p.m. will be called "Fox Business Tonight" and will be hosted on Monday and Tuesday by Jackie DeAngelis and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday by David Asman. Those programs will repeat at 7 p.m.

The announcement comes a day after Dobbs was named, along with other Fox hosts and pro-Trump attorneys, in a $2.7 billion lawsuit from voting technology company Smartmatic. The complaint specifically cited a groundless claim made on Dobbs’s show that Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan strongman who died in 2013, had a hand in tampering with Smartmatic devices to manipulate the vote in last year's U.S. presidential election.

That claim was made by pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who was also named in the suit. Dobbs was also cited in the filing for saying the nation faced a “cyber Pearl Harbor” when discussing the evidence-challenged voter fraud claims.

“FOX News Media is committed to providing the full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear opinion. We are proud of our 2020 election coverage and will vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit in court," Fox News Media said in a statement Thursday regarding the suit.


Dobbs began hosting his Fox program in 2011 and rose to prominence during the Trump administration. The president and other White House officials appeared regularly on the program, which elevated the administration’s right-wing views on a range of topics, including immigration. Dobbs had previously also raised questions about former President Obama’s birthplace as part of the racist "birther" conspiracy theory.

Fox News had revamped its daytime lineup in December amid a broader shakeup.

While the projection was ultimately correct, Trump promoted Newsmax and OANN as alternatives to Fox over the perceived slight.

Fox is still holds a strong cable presence, and just marked 19 years as the ratings leader.
