    No, its not the same.... Not the way things were in 2020, there was way too much going on and Dems had set out for Trump's head. The mass media, social media, newspaper bias, celebrity's all with the same goal to remove Trump from office. This is why months before they tried getting as many people as possible to vote in person. Dem's tried to get as many people as possible to vote by mail. The majority of discrepancies were in mail in ballots.

    But once more, I don't know... I don't think Biden wins without the mail in ballots. Its still my opinion and who really knows, that's why I am not claiming Dems cheated. Or pushing a narrative that they did. Does it really matter? Nothing is changing, Biden is president. He will be for the next two years. Is the situation not worrisome at all for you? I'm a conservative, not sure I trust The Republican party either... McConnell, Crenshaw, Lindsey Graham.... Trash politicians as well.. I do like DeSantis, and didn't mind Andrew Yang when he was a Dem...

    So, explain how a Democrat had an advantage over a Republican who had the exact same opportunities to vote? The cynic in me says that Republicans don't like alternate methods of voting because it makes it 'easier' for minorities to vote.

    There is absolutely no advantage if the votes were counted fairly, if you have millions of votes coming in for a single candidate that seems suspicious and unlikely. These things were documented, they are real..... Are they voter fraud? Who knows, I don't. I do know its harden to steal an election with in person voting. I don't buy the minorities thing, I'm a minority. There is only one person in my family that dislikes Trump, my church was mainly minorities and they all hated Biden... There are tons of minorities that love Trump....

    Did you all cry when the majority of American voted Trump out? I find it odd that the majority of your church would vote for an adulterer and pathological liar who has had numerous sexual assault accusations, and more lawsuits against him than years he's been alive. That sounds more like a cult than a real church. That's scary.

    You do realize over half a million died of Covid and voting was at a high in the pandemic don't you? Don't be so callous. Some people actually wanted to do all they could to avoid spreading Covid to vulnerable loved ones. Many didn't give a damn about anyone else and it got them 6 foot under, or someone else in their family 6 foot under.

    This is what happens when you live in an echo chamber of social media and reddit.... Everyone is wrong but you, everyone is delusional but you and those who agree with you. Nothing I say is true, my opinion does not matter. You won't bend, you wont listen. You won't believe. You won't give an inch, that's fine. You don't have to. But when I tell you that most of the people that I know, who are either black or latinx don't agree with your take of Trump I'm not lying. Means nothing to you but I would recommend you lower your expectations of other's hating Trump as much as you do. You could be surprised this upcoming election. I don't want to hear any "they stole the election" bs from you, I do firmly believe that unless Biden does a 180 and gets this country back together if Trump runs Trump gets back in.

    LMAO. Trump lost. You are the one who was fooled by social media and propaganda. I don't care who disagrees with me or what ethnic group they belong to. I just know the majority didn't want Trump, and I'm one of them. No sense going back and forth. We have two completely different sets of values.

    Nope. I'm full of acceptance for all, black, brown or white people, gay or straight. You don't see me gay bashing, book banning, calling immigrants coming here for a better life all criminals and gang bangers. What I hate is racism, bigotry, and the lack of empathy shown by voting no to free or affordable healthcare. That's some hating going on towards Americans. If you agree with that type of hate and racism then you vote GOP.

    Which states found fraudulent or questionable absentee ballots? Georgia didn't. Arizona didn't. Michigan didn't. Pennsylvania didn't. Wisconsin didn't.

    Trump on STDs

    “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,”

    June 15, 2022
    "One of the reasons 'Secret Honor' is so affecting is that, with the distance of time, we feel sympathy for the man, especially because we are aware of how Nixon-hating..."

    "... had a lot to do with a very personal reaction to the man. There was a sort of loathing that wasn't about politics, but about the way he looked and spoke and certain personality qualities of the sort that would have made him unpopular even as a child. And the truly challenging thing to think about is how he could have been politically effective if he repelled people on a deep psychic level. Bush-haters of today might try imagining themselves thirty years in the future, looking back at him as a mere man."

    That's something I wrote on February 14, 2005, in a post called "Small and large falls."

    I'm reading that this morning after seeing this new piece at New York Magazine, "In Secret Honor, Philip Baker Hall Plays Nixon As a Wounded Animal." New York Magazine is writing that now because the actor who played Nixon, Philip Baker Hall, recently died. He was 90.

    I was writing about "Secret Honor" in 2005 — 17 years ago — because I was teaching the Watergate Tapes case and I had a nice, new Criterion Collection CD of the Robert Altman film.

    That post also recalled the old episode of "Saturday Night Live" that had Dan Aykroyd playing Nixon (and John Belushi playing Kissinger):

    In the skit, Nixon and Kissinger were talking about how all the bad things on the Watergate tapes were just jokes. We see a flashback of them saying the various damning quotes, but making faces and gestures that showed they were just kidding. But people took it the wrong way, because they only had the cold transcript.​

We see a flashback of them saying the various damning quotes, but making faces and gestures that showed they were just kidding. But people took it the wrong way, because they only had the cold transcript.

    That skit was written by Al Franken, who said later: "It's really weird: I remember how I hated Nixon, but I now don't think he was so bad. He was really a moderate in many things and, putting aside his unfortunate paraonoia, was a pretty effective president. When I look at the current political scene with our preacher-in-chief, I feel a definite odd nostalgia for ol' ski-nose."

    These days, it's George W. Bush who has entered the nostalgia zone. How many cycles of this loathing and empathizing must we live through before we acquire cool rationality about present-day events? If I, like Philip Baker Hall, live to be 90, I will get to see Americans mulling over the human being who was Donald Trump. But I will never see us break the cycle. It takes too long, and if you've been through multiple cycles, you are old and there are new generations seeing the present as fresh and uniquely urgent. It's like first love. First hate.
