The Republican politicians are so two-faced that they are making even the Democrats look good in comparison...which is no easy task.

not all the Republicans, just the old school swamp that are just like the old school Democrat swamp ... out for power and riches for themselves/family.
we need term limits for more than the president.

Happy Birthday Mr. Thaskalos:
May I echo the sentiments of an earlier messenger by saying I hope that you experience many many more Birthdays in your lifetime. Also, I am sincerely hopeful that you had a wonderful Birthday today.

If there is evidence so pressing MAKE IT PUBLIC..
I know that if I had that type of evidence, I would make my point WITH the evidence not just the mention of it.

This is not about evidence. It is about rat f***ing.

too complicated for the average person to comprehend?
but I guess it would be easy to say that the computer was hacked by Ukranians and votes swapped from Trump to Biden
maybe they could have Crowdstrike do that

This is not the impression I was left with, after he finished his statement. I believe Sidney:
"But he was very insulting, demanding and rude and I told him not to contact me again in those terms."
As well, Greg Gutfeld (guest) set Tucker straight. Watch the video and read the comments below the video to see how Tucker came across. It wasn't just me and a few others here.
Whether they care or not, FOX has clearly turned against ITS base, and the heads are bringing down their best commentators in the process. Let's see how long Hannity holds out.
We all know what CNN, et al., have been right along. There's nothing worse in the public eye than a slowly brewing, come-to-find-out turncoat. Undeniably, FOX fits the bill...73+ MILLION people, no doubt, would agree!

Are you people serious?
Tucker Carlson is the ONLY ONE with the actual BALLS to say the things that NEED TO BE SAID...on a NIGHTLY BASIS...
He's said things that, quite frankly, leave me shocked that he's actually STILL ON THE AIR...that's how much he pushes the envelope.
And you're sitting here KNOCKING him over some stupid interaction with some stupid lawyer who is not doing Trump any favors in the court of public opinion?
Even if I agreed with you in this instance (and I don't), it's going to take a TON MORE than this to even begin to budge my opinion of the guy.
He's the GOAT for a reason.
Even Pete Rose struck out every now and then...

This "indifference" is part of the problem, the fact American citizens don't care if their own country has free and fair elections is very discerning no? That you would rather revel in joy that the opposing party demands fairness and integrity. Really as your Republic dissolves before your very eyes so many don't care.
As a foreigner seeing your Republic on the precipice of socialism is very concerning, I truly hope you don't lose it.

I've been reading a new book recently which has made a grand impression on me. Here it is...in case someone here gets curious enough to check it out for him/herself:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785355872...ing=UTF8&psc=1
Allow me to offer a small snippet from the very beginning of the book, as an appetizer:
"You can control nothing other than your own attitudes, values, and efforts directed at self discipline. The rest of the world is as it is, will be as it will be, and unfolds as it does with or without your consent. This is as it should be. Indeed, this is as it must be. You have enough to contend with just governing your own thoughts and actions. Master yourself, administer your affairs, discipline yourself, and you will have accomplished more than most ever dare. This is your only purpose. Are you not ashamed to allow the events of the day to throw you off balance? What business is it of yours if lives begin or end, warfare erupts here or peace is restored there, economies shudder, earthquakes strike, or storms beat down upon the land? Will it all to be otherwise if you can. What answers directly to your will? That, and only that, is your business. Do not invite needless distress and perturbation by insisting that the world must conform to your expectations or whims. Who, after all, do you think you are? Control the very small sphere that answers to your direction. As for the rest, cultivate gratitude for the opportunity to draw breath and take part in a life that you never earned."

If you think reports that Dominion has (or had) ties to Hugo Chavez is a conspiracy theory:

Assuming your source is correct, it does not apply today and is NOT the whole story. It was back in 2008. No such animal of Chavez and a covert Venezuelan dastardly conspiracy exists today in 2020
From your article............
As part of a detailed investigative exposé series in 2008, as we broke the story of Hart Intercivic’s quietly attempted hostile takeover of Sequoia, we revealed the fact that — despite representations to the contrary, possibly even to U.S. government investigators — the IP for the vast-majority/near-entirety of Sequoia’s voting systems was actually secretly owned by the Hugo Chavez-tied, Venezuelan-based firm, Smartmatic.
Fact-checking the craziest news conference of the Trump presidency
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...mp-presidency/
If this sounds crazy, that’s because it is.
There is a long-ago corporate connection to Venezuela, according to news accounts in 2006. Smartmatic replaced Venezuela’s election machinery before a referendum that confirmed Chávez as president in August 2004, and the Venezuelan government made a $200,000 loan to another technology company owned by some of the same people as Smartmatic.
There is no evidence to support any of these conspiracy theories. It would require election workers across many states to be engaged in a massive fraud scheme that won Biden the presidency but failed to flip the Senate from Republican control and cost the Democrats seats in the House.

Occaisionally, some exceptional individuals can. I agree, most of us can not alone. We as individuals usually can not change events. But sometimes a whole bunch can. It may be debatable whether or not that group was the primary force for change, or if they just hopped aboard the forces of history. But intelligent application of conscience and empathy is quite gratifying.
I remember changing cultural attitudes, stopping wars and demonstrating for racial justice back when things were not so good in the 60's.
And there are spiritual benefits. Example are Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Emulating them is a lofty goal, but so?
Karma yoga, also called Karma marga, is one of the three spiritual paths in Hinduism, one based on the "yoga of action". To a karma yogi, right action is a form of prayer. It is one of the paths in the spiritual practices of Hindus.
