I'm not convinced we'll have national elections this November, I believe that "Black Swan" is circling.
This article rehashes many of the things we saw with our own eyes (those lying things!), and brings up some new twists for November. One they've done before, legions of lawyers across the country creating havoc in the legislatures and courts, is forecast to be even more of the same, with seemingly unlimited money already set aside.
With every new poll that comes out they're getting more desperate, and desperate people use whatever means available to accomplish their ends.

...............I've been wondering , if any , protective measures were utilized for Lincoln's second electoral campaign and election strategy were put in place prior to his second term in office ! This would be especially important IF the Supreme Ct. was involved in preventing any group from trying to intervein to possibly change the course of the Civil War by the south . I haven't looked into it but it might be used as an example for the R's to follow should Biden,etal try to disrupt the process knowing full well he is going to lose the election ! , fordy

fordy, For some reason your post reminds me of the interview from the New York Times in 1865. NYT: Well yes Mrs Lincoln, but other than that, what did you think of the play? I seriously doubt the democrats have a stopping point on their way to a one-party country.

The only wargames Biden is participating in involves the lid to his container of pudding.

I do not think that the "frogs in a pot" analogy holds strictly true. If one reads our declaration of independence and pays attention to the following paragraph, it will demonstrate what I mean....
" Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-"
The declaration then lists a long record of abuses...abuses tolerated without rebellion...until a certain level was considered intolerable and yet came to pass, and THEN came the rebellion.
I have long said that our own state of affairs will break down on the very day they attempt to send out trucks and troops to pick up all of the guns. INTOLERABLE!
Everybody has a point past which they will not go, and we just have not reached ours yet in my opinion. IF one reads the list of usurpations that the colonists DID tolerate before they rebelled, one can see that they were not so inclined as to seriously ro9ck the boat themselves until the redcoats tried to disarm them at concord bridge.
Just my opinion, but they also did not rebel until one out of three colonists were ready to fight and die for liberty. Until then it would have likely been futile.....Joe

They won't send out trucks and troops to pick up guns. They control the food, they control the people. They are in charge of the regulating of every single thing that affects everyday living in the US. You have to have a license to fish, hunt, drive, get married, etc. If you can't go fish or hunt to feed your family and the shelves at the grocery store are empty, what will you do then? What will you do when your kids are starving & they tell you to turn in your guns and they will bring you groceries?? Will people do what they are told in order to eat? Or will people then pick up those guns and go do what the Constitution says we must do in order to get rid of a corrupt and tyrannical government??

To begin with, they do NOT have control over every single aspect of our lives...they just say they do, and some folks believe them.
I had a conversation with a friend from the Midwest some years ago who is a hunter and purveyor of Injun artifacts and other antiques. He maintained that if the feds ever decided to really cut off all hunting for arrow points and artifacts on federal lands, they could just spot big telescopes on high mesas or mountains and control every square foot of desert in a 20 mile radius, which gave me a big chuckle.
They ALREADY had the big scopes mounted on the troll trucks in high altitude positions looking for wetbacks and spotted less than 10% of them coming through. If you are hunting or fishing today without a license you stand a pretty low risk of getting caught unless you are in a very busy and popular area, but if EVERYBODY is hunting and fishing without a license you chance of getting caught drops to near zero, and in that sort of societal breakdown that would be the absolute LAST thing they would be looking for.
Anyhow, I could pretty easily make a deal for a beef with a friend down the valley and let my grandson drive it here cross country on foot.
I am certainly not saying that things would be easy, but if you have ever driven through Los Angeles during morning rush hour, you will find yourself driving 80MPH in a 55MPH zone, along with everybody else....MILLIONS of them, or so it seems. Maybe every 3 or 4 miles, you sill see somebody pulled over by a cop, getting a ticket, but they cannot possibly get even 1% of the speeders, so the odds are with you.
My family had illegal fish traps in the water from the time it thawed in the spring until it froze over again in winter for all of the years I was growing up, and this was in Illinois where there were so many wardens they had to wear badges to keep from ticketing one another.
Years ago, I also drove around Tucson for about 4 years on an expired driver's license...too busy to stand in line at the DMV and never got caught. Went in, paid the late fee, got it back.
I heard some commie "fellow traveler" on TV a few yeaars ago complaining that people are becoming "ungovernable"....and I clapped my hands in glee, IF, INDEED, folks have advanced to the point that tyranny has a lot of trouble holding the common man down, well that is cause for ALL of us to celebrate. Even in nations where government restrictions are terrible, black markets thrive.
Although there are no doubt exceptions, in my opinion folks mostly starve to death from relying on government to feed them, NOT from relying upon themselves.
Of course, no doubt there would be cases of people trading in a $1500 gun for two days rations, but we all know that would be like eating all of your seed corn during the winter.....what would you do after it is gone?
In most cases, I subscribe to the "cold dead hands" theory......Joe

Too many people already know, and if they don't know they'll be told what happens shortly after a government disarms its citizens. For that reason any attempt at confiscation would be sending their agents straight into unlimited firing squads. I don't care what they paid, knowing there are more guns in this country than people would give pause to anyone thinking of "just following orders".
