Have you heard the latest spin coming from the Trump campaign? Supposedly it wasn't a mistake and it was supposed to be held there because that company is a representation of American success stories and the small businesses Trump helped to thrive. The fact that it was named Four Seasons, the same as a high end hotel chain, is purely coincidental.
Hahahahahahaha
Just going to leave a link from Twitter below. Celebratory weekend is over, now the real work to protect democracy begins. Personally I remain horrified that about 25% of our overall population and nearly 50% of voters are pro-fascist.
I think yes, let Biden & Harris make things sound very conciliatory. Until Jan 21. Then the hammer needs to come down, especially on Turdleman. The Dems cannot continue to bring their NPR tote bags to the gunfight and to descend into recriminations after every victory, nor can they continue to allow division within the party to tear it apart.
Past performance is indicative of future performance. The GOP will not change, maybe ever. And tolerance of intolerance (via extension of olive branches that are continually swatted away) is the slippery slope on which open societies die.

@laura-f, when I read those words I knew this was your post, even before I saw your name. ? ?
Welcome back, cookie! ?
And it started he fires Secretary of Defense Esper via twitter
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/09/politics/trump-fires-esper/index.html
@jessi1978 I immediately think, What’s he got planned? Why fire Esper now? Expose us to more international weakness? Or does he have some diabolical plot?
Ugh, he’s a brain worm! ?
A lot of people on the news thread are asking the same questions. Who knows what he is up to. But what we all know is he is a raging lunatic who is pissed off he lost to Sleepy Joe. He probably mad that Esper did not go along with him to use the army agains the protestors and he probably saying that his is one of the reason he lost. If he would have shown those protestors, people would have seen him as law and order.
My question is: Parler... replacing QAnon.. calling on the Kool-aid Kids to unite and kill people. That Arkansas sherfiff got fired for and an investigation by the FBI is underway... the worms are going underground but they are still plotting ruin. Anybody see anything on this?
@journeywithme2 Just read this... always feel grateful that someone brought this to public attention and he’s lost his job. I know he’s just one though. I do feel we are protected and while there will be uprisings, light workers will squelch their best efforts. This is my prayer, at least.
I don't "have" anything but realized yesterday it will be a BIG issue. I have some far right social media friends I have kept mostly so I can try and understand them better. ( Not working).
They were posting how they were moving from FB to Parlor and Me/We chat and discussing why including that they want to speak freely without moderation or ad tracking. Also that they are no longer watching FOX and will get their news from Newsmax which they feel is a non bias news source. ( It isn't).
Then, some members of a group on FB I belong to began asking if we were moving to Parlor. (We are not.) There are many things I don't like about FB but there are some helpful things too.
I feel a dangerous underground will be forming but haven't really looked further into those feelings.
Many of these people are upset about being censored and banned or nearly banned for what Twitter and FB feels is hate speech among other things. They don't like being told what to do. They are angry people for the most part. Many are racist and in some cases don't even realize it. I personally know that some are and yet they would claim they are not.
Been focusing on the Senate. One Georgia candidate feels definite; one maybe. However, I feel another one will somehow appear. Not sure exactly how to interpret.
Alaska? A candidate from a state who cheated? Or in two years? I feel ultimately, Dems will fully prevail.
I've seen several visions of a literally blue wave several times over the past week.
@Lawrence. I pray we get Warnock and Ossoff through!!! Perdue and Loeffler gotta go!!!! Doug Collins lost but is now to oversee the recount to ensure no cheating??? Give me a break.... I remember him howling like hunting dog during the Impeachment trial. Today Perdue and Loeffler are calling for the resignation of Sect of State Republican Brad Raffensperger stated this Republican "failed the people of Georgia and he should step down immediately." Personally I am full of gratitude that Brad did not sell his soul and sell out the Georgian people he serves... unlike Perdue and Loeffler who put profits and politics over the well being of our state. They have their heads so far up rTump's ass they have forgotten what daylight looks like.
@lawrence Am I reaching that the Loeffler/Perdue stunt today might backfire on them on some point? https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1325892732355817473?s=20
I mean... hello it's the Right, but why would voters want to vote for two senators that openly attacked their own GOP SoS? I keep sensing that McConnell is going to be "over stretched" in the next six weeks with this run off happening as Trump flails about.
@lawrence There could be senators who pass on. The senate itself is filled with lots of seniors, and that's a possibility. Also, I'm wondering if Biden may offer cabinet positions to some republican senators who represent states with a democratic governor who may replace them. Of course not all states provide for their governors to appoint replacements, some just hold special elections, so Biden would have to find that perfect combination. Toomey (from PA) has said he isn't running for reelection. I'm wondering if Biden might offer him some position, or ambassadorship. Burr from NC is also a possibility.
Actually Biden offering GOP Senators a cabinet position is a good idea. Mitch already came out and said he wont allow confirmations of cabinet members he doesn't like so let's give him what he wants. Any GOP senator from a state with a Dem Governor will work, even the biggest lowlife you can find like Ron Johnson. Offer it very publically so they are forced to take it by the cultists then McConnell is forced to confirm them. Now you take his senate lead away and the cultists will be too stupid to figure that out until its over. All you have to do for cover is leak a story saying McConnell pushed him and he is giving in because he is going senile. The voters will force everyone's hand at that point and won't figure it out until Dems have the Senate majority and the GOP sucker gets fired shortly afterward.
@lynnventura
I agree ?. Mitch feels like he's in very bad health and doesn't have a lot of time left. I believe @@jeanne-Mayell mentioned this in a prediction. Kentucky has a Democratic Governor too.
@lovendures I have noticed the same thing. A lessening of talk on Facebook from the Conservatives and even some inviting Conservative friends to join them on Parler. It's like not being able to hear your child for a while then knowing that since you cannot hear them, they are up to no good and something is either in planning or is broken.
Whoever talked about a bomb in Georgia - cold this be what they are planning underground?
I'm not going to prognosticate about the Georgia races, but I do think there will be a blue wave in Congress in 2022. None of the GOP members will be able to ride #45's coattails, and many in T's base will have moved on or lost interest in the political process; remember many of the people T was able to turn out to vote don't have any long-standing connection to the Republican Party. They were attracted to his celebrity and pantomime of steely machismo. (Side note: I was thinking yesterday about how the GOP will try to keep Trumpism alive in 2024 and got the message "kitten imitating a lion." I sensed that any GOP politician who tries to copy Trump's bluster on the campaign trail will come off looking ridiculous to everyone, including T's former base.)
But back to 2022. I had a dream two weeks ago about the 2022 midterms where I saw throngs of people chanting "Take down the Coney Court!" I took this to mean that the ideological extreme of the Supreme Court will galvanize left-leaning and moderate voters the way #45 did in 2018. In 2022, there will also be very competitive Senate elections in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Pat Toomey, the PA incumbent, has already announced he will retire, so the GOP won't have incumbent advantage in that race, at least.
I watched the victory speeches with my mom. Afterwards, I commented to her, "Now you can sleep well at night knowing that we'll soon have a president who speaks in complete sentences."
One of the things I love about the Four Seasons thing is that the Four Seasons Landscaping staff are definitely in on the joke with the rest of us. First off, whoever at the company agreed to let the campaign have a press conference there had to have a wicked sense of humor, knowing about their industrial park location and their complete lack of experience hosting live media events. And now Four Seasons is shamelessly selling merchandise. I swear to god, those t-shirts and sweatshirts will be five-figure collector items someday.
The Four Seasons thing is an early Hanukkah gift that just keeps giving.
