Obama did the EXACT same thing...

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I guess it's just coincidence that FL cleaned it's voter rolls and changed how they handle ballots and all the sudden it went from a 50/50 state to being one of the reddest states in the country???

I'm not a mathematician...but what are the odds...probabilities of a state with millions and millions of people/voters to be 50/50? And not just one state but 5, 6, 7 or more? Personally I think the odds would be thru the roof.

I guess it's just coincidence that FL cleaned it's voter rolls and changed how they handle ballots and all the sudden it went from a 50/50 state to being one of the reddest states in the country??? Also, why do all of the late arriving ballots go 90% for dems? Shouldn't some of them sometimes favor the pubs? Shouldn't they sometimes be close to what the rest of the election showed? Why do states with dem governors and dem AG's take so much longer to count votes than every other state?

No. Ron DeSantis.
Because Dim states in general have later deadlines to receive votes.
Because that's the process in those states.
And none of your hyperventilating on fraud means there is fraud to any degree of significance.

 

[vhcat70]

This is just ignorance on the part of you and many people with this same perspective. We can look at actual data for this election about who requested mail in ballots and what party they were affiliated with. The percentages do not match up in any way with the data. Political scientist have said that some of the voter data is so absurd that it is impossible without something weird going on. For instance... how do you have more votes in a district that registered voters? Please don't give some nonsense answer.... Think about how you have a district with 6000 voters and 7100 votes cast.... How does that happen?

There you go again. Talk about late voting & then switch to more voters cast than voters as if the latter has anything to do with the former. Nutso. You're on a roll. Keep going.

 

[vhcat70]

Your claims if proven true, would provide more fame, money and excess to any journalist able to uncover. For four years, I’ve heard such allegations without any evidence. It’s much more probable that no fraud is going on on either side and I’ll wait for the bombshell details to emerge on every major news site before I change my opinion.

Wow. A degree of intelligence not often found amongst the fraud conspiracists. Thanks.

This is picking up more and more steam. It's not '16 anymore. People are going to jail this time. Lot big talk right now in Dem strongholds.

If these actions are felonies, I can see it. If they're misdemeanors, I doubt it.

 

[vhcat70]

So the guy Vh kept saying nobody liked has increased his vote total in 2 elections in a row..

Nobody??? There you go again.

Those are not wise words. No one man should rule a country. Just need extreme honesty from those chosen in a "Representative" Republic.

Kind of sickens me most anyone uses the word democracy now. We are not a democracy but a Representative Republic. Words mean things...

I have to wonder how badly outnumbered Ukraine has defended itself so well if half the aid has been siphoned off.

Because a hundred billion dollars is still a shit load of.money.

Why do you always ask these stupid questions, like you're brilliant?

If they stole this election, why didn’t they steal this election? Also, republicans down ballot did well in 2020.

Which sock account are you?

From 05-09 I was Sheppard15. Used that in HS and some of college. Have lurked ever since without logging in. After the election, I wanted to have conversations with people that had different opinions than mine. My twitter handle (the same as this username), doesn't really garner any back and forth.

 

[Marleydogg]

I get the uncertainty of the mass mail in votes, but I just trust that process of vetting them. To each their own, I guess.

I approach voter fraud in US as Occam’s razor. All the coordination to steal an election makes it truly difficult to accomplish.

Also to add, I think continuously crying foul over alleged voter fraud waters down accomplishments done in future elections. Republicans did really well this go around. I feel like more time should be spent on celebrating that, analyzing why, and trying to repeat this than being a sore loser on the past.

You're megablue or nightwish, aren't you?

I’ll try to explain it in the way I understand it:

I think after COVID, Texas and Florida saw mass immigration from states like California and New York that had similar viewpoints. I had two students leave KY for Florida and the mama put on Facebook that the decision in part was because of Beshear.

Immigrants are also voting more conservatively. It makes sense because of religion, but for decades, they voted solidly blue. You’re seeing Cubans and Venezuelans do this in Florida.

Many states choose not to count mail-in ballots until after the election polls have closed. This will naturally cause a delay in some votes and more dems vote this way.

I think that blinders cause the last point, I think states that do ranked choice like Alaska also take some time, but I agree, it does take way too long to count.

Ah, the independent moderate for about 10 posts, then will start rabidly arguing idiotic leftist talking points.

Yawn.

We've all seen this movie a few hundred times.

Here’s the rub on all of this. Most of That money likely never made it to its intended destination. Will the crooks in DC who’ve laundered that money back to themselves allow Musk to stop the money train? My guess is that’s why Mitch has placed himself chairing important committees.

Bombshell Report Reveals Disturbing Truths About the Biden-Harris Parole Pipeline

Read only GYERO on this site for years. In about September of this year I started reading this thread. I wanted to understand how conservatives were so confident in the election results, when my side was also equally confident in a win.

The loss was a learning experience for myself. Not too keen on the parody conservative accounts and memes that are posted, but will click and read any article and try to understand that side.

I'd like to bring balance (if possible) without name calling and what not and offer an alternative than the echo chamber this place can be.

Not by the sword, komrade. Rather by the magic wand. The global warming/climate change magic wand.

- Norway has some very aggressive domestic green energy policies. Sounds great. Good for them.

- At the same time, Norway has nationalized their fossil fuel industry. A large portion of their GDP is generated from exporting fossil fuels. Top 3 exports: natural gas, crude petroleum, refined petroleum.

- They buy carbon credits from other countries to “offset” and to look good in the carbon emissions rankings yet almost all of the dollars used to purchase said carbon credits are generated from selling fossil fuels to other countries.

Round and round we go…as they wave their magic wand.

- Norway’s “Oil Fund”, which was originally set up in 1990 (they now call it their “Global Government Pension Fund” because it sounds “greener”) benefits ONLY Norwegians and is funded almost exclusively by the profits from the sale of fossil fuels to other European countries and beyond. Sounds pretty nationalistic to me. The Oil Fund currently has $1.5 trillion in assets which is 3 times more than Norway’s GDP. Almost 25% of the Norwegian government’s income comes from fossil fuel revenues.

- The Norwegian government has awarded 700 NEW fossil fuel drilling licenses in the past decade. SEVEN HUNDRED!!! Just in the last 10 years alone. The oil and gas within fields already licensed but not yet developed in Norway will generate an additional three billion tons of CO2emissions — 60 times Norway’s current annual domestic emissions.

I don’t care what they do energy wise domestically because Norway is a tiny little country with 5 million citizens & their energy consumption barely shows up as a tiny blip on the global radar. The bottom line is that Norway’s GLOBAL carbon footprint has gotten much worse since 1990 and exponentially worse in the last decade…if you factor in the huge expansion of their nationalized fossil fuel licensing, extraction & export program. It is ridiculously naive and disingenuous to do otherwise.

One could easily make the case that the main reason they have “gone green” domestically is because it is much more profitable for them to sell the fossil fuels on the global market then it is to consume them domestically. They know that those reserves will run out eventually so they are capitalizing on export profits now and enriching their citizens via the Oil Fund. Even to the extent that they are currently exploiting countries hit the hardest by the energy shortages caused by the Ukraine/Russia war. Enriching Norwegian citizens at the expense of killing the planet all while exploiting their European neighbors. That’s the epitome of nationalistic.

Not to mention the fact that 80% of their population is made up of white, Norwegian born citizens who are at least third generation or beyond. Sounds pretty nationalistic to me.

Also, with very few exceptions, the only immigration to speak of is from other European nations and almost exclusively “white” immigrants. At the very least it is about as far from “global citizenry” as you can get. “Nationalistic” would be the nicest way to describe their immigration policy. But if we actually applied your standards that you spew on this site daily then we would have no choice but to call Norway’s immigration policy “racist” & “xenophobic”. Yet you don’t do that. Instead, you call America racist & xenophobic & you crown Norway as the gold standard country of the global community. Why is that, komrade?

So yeah, Norway is 100% one of the most nationalistic countries in the world. That’s not even debatable. They are looking out for Norway…and ONLY Norway…and their GLOBAL Carbon Footprint per capita is as bad as any country out there BECAUSE they are extremely motivated by nationalism.

It’s just that useful idiots like you have fallen for their sleight of hand magic trick.

The funniest part about all of this is that you championing Norway as the gold standard exposes you as a closeted Trump fan. You’re just too blinded by the MSM’s portrayal of Trump as “literally Hitler” and by your own utopian socialistic democracy nonsense gibberish agenda to realize it. Two of Trump’s biggest campaign promises…

1) Drill, baby, drill!!!

2) Shut down the border.

Norway beat him to the punch on both policies about 35 years ago and they have done nothing short of doubling down on both policies in the last decade. Sooo…

Welcome to Team MAGA, komrade!!!

This may be the most impressive beat down of Dion idiotic ideology and talking points I have seen since the last time you were here dropping Norway bombs on his ass.

Thank you, Sir!

The last year I was on a SBDM (I will link below), the average in KY was a lot lower. I think it was around 12k. You'd be surprised at how expensive some monitoring programs are. StudyIsland for example was about 2k per student. Paper and toner is also incredibly expensive. There's a lot of bloat in each central office too (except for the one I work for now, of course.)

Report Card

 

[Marleydogg]

Something not being said here, is that Russia through extension of the Wagner group have basically turned all former African French colonies against the French.

I believe the French government is more pissed about this than most of us over here understand. Lots of revenue through exports is now lost and several have began to reject the franc as their currency. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Well, don't you.leftists dislike colonialists?

So, are you saying this a good thing Russia is doing? 😂
