LOL. Spread it. Not exactly on message. Always the weird gaffe from him.
Trump should and will contest the election results especially since the official count is not over yet. REMEMBER this country is greatly divided 50/50
That's a significant proportion. This is such a close race. Trump has every right to ensure the integrity of the fabric of this nation. Citizens should not be enslaved by the media.
About 50% (and possibly more, currently there is no empirical evidence) of the US population did not endorse Biden

So, I wonder what Joe and the Hoe are planning to do with the Border Wall? Tear it down? It would be the 'liberal' course of action to take....
They will open the border wall in exchange for the marijuana to be dispersed
Many states approved recreational and medicinal use of marijuana. Prepared to be stoned

Getting comfortable
LTG McInerney doesn't shy away from bold public statements. And ya gotta love a guy who gets kicked off his FOXNEWS gig for calling McCain, Songbird John.
I think tomorrow will be a range day...
If you read the 2020 Democratic Party Platform, they stop short of saying they will tear it down. But they will stop funding:
"Democrats will rescind President Trump’s fabricated “National Emergency,” which siphons funding away from our men and women in uniform to construct an unnecessary, wasteful, and ineffective wall on the southern border. "
The whole 91 pages reads like a socialist manifesto. It is entirely based on OMB (Orange Mad Bad) politics. In just about every paragraph they mention Trump.

Better do it while you can. From the Dem Party Platform:
"Democrats will enact universal background checks, end online sales of guns and ammunition, close dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers, abusive partners, and some individuals convicted of assault or battery to buy and possess firearms, and adequately fund the federal 47 background check system. We will close the “Charleston loophole” and prevent individuals who have been convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and extreme risk protection order laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others. We will pass legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun companies should be held responsible for their products, just like any other business, and will prioritize repealing the law that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability. "
Another thought. A few days ago I posted that I thought since the Dems did not flip enough Senate seats, that they would go easy on initiatives in the first two years in an effort to take the Senate in 2022 and protect their chances of re-election. I now think that will not be the case.
There are several reasons for my change of thinking. But first and foremost is that the Senate races are not over. There are two seats that will be decided in January runoffs, both the GA seats. While the Republican has more votes that the Democrat in both so far, the number of other votes is way more than the difference. It is imperative that the Republican candidates win in January. I really hope that the RNC has a great plan to ensure this. January runoffs rarely attract much interest for the voters. And I suspect that the voters are really tired of it all. So it is possible a low turnout will happen. If you are a GA resident, please VOTE in that election.
Another thought is that hearing all of the rhetoric coming from the Dems and the MSM right now, it sounds like they are going to jump right in in an effort to show that they are going to 'right the Trump wrongs'.
God help us all.

Yeah, the democrats are going to pour a ton of money into the GA run off election. Poor GA, they're going to be getting a lot of national attention/hatred in the next few months.
Hopefully the republicans will maintain a majority, fingers crossed. Its gonna be pretty hard to flip those seats I think.
Honestly I am not worried about the gun control stuff. When Trump came for my bumpstocks all the republicans betrayed us and let it happen. INCLUDING the NRA.
At least when Biden comes after them they'll give a damn and fight it. (Not because they want to protect our rights, but the other guy is doing it). Or am I just cynical...
FIIIIGHT IT!!!!!

@samplenhold - Indeed the items you highlighted about their plan to assault the 2nd Amendment are a huge concern, but think for a moment about this one which may be the the most chilling of all:
We will close the “Charleston loophole” and prevent individuals who have been convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms.
Who gets to decide what a "hate crime" is? This is straight up Thought Police stuff. By definition it speaks not to facts but "intent" or what was in one's "thoughts" at the time.
One can easily envision that anyone who dares question the PC "woke" religion or otherwise expresses an "opinion" that doesn't suit the ruling mob such as:

- believes there only 2 genders assigned at birth,
- or refuses to accept that he has inherent 'bias and privilege" due to his skin color
- or believes that abortion is wrong
- or refuses to wear a mask believing it does nothing to prevent one from contracting the aerosolized WuFlu
- or believes that a many time convicted felon who struggles with police with meth and fentanyl in his system and goes for a weapon, deserves to be shot
- or believes that their kids shouldn't be taught that 2+2 can equal 5 or that deviant sexual behavior shouldn't be taught to grade school children as an acceptable norm
- or doesn't believe in "reparations"
- or voices an opinion that illegal immigrants shouldn't have the right to vote
- ^^^ or believes that those in this country who entered illegally should be arrested and sent back
- or that admission to college should be dependent on ones academic achievement and not the color of your skin
- or that 'equality" doesn't mean take from the rich and give to the poor
- ...........or questions the legitimacy of the last election?

I never got very fired up about 'bump stocks". Yeah I get it, take an inch... but lets be real. They were a cheap way to imitate a full auto NFA firearm. Everyone knew it with a wink and a nod. There is still a legal path for any legal non-felon citizen to aquire NFA firearms.
