Trump didn’t lose! He was betrayed!
“We have seen the enemy and he is us,” Walt Kelly’s comic strip character Pogo famously said.
A good many of my political tribe regard their fellow Republicans as enemies. They are convinced that a species they call “RINOs” stabbed Donald Trump in the back — much as certain Germans scapegoated undesirable countrymen for their defeat in WW1. They believe the Insurrectionist in Chief would be President today were it not for a traitorous Fifth Column within the party.
Nationally, Mitch McConnell is their preferred Judas. Trump hath spoken: “Giveaway Mitch McConnell is a RINO who gives the Dems everything and gets nothing for it. Never fights for Republicans.” (More here.)
Never fights for Republicans? Never mind that McConnell confirmed Supreme Court justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett. Trump’s tax cuts. How will McConnell be majority leader unless he fights for Republicans? — even some of the mistakes Trump endorsed this year!
Here in Wisconsin, the RITOs have settled on Assembly Speaker Robin Vos as their traitor (a term they use promiscuously). His sin? Telling Republicans point blank there is no way to decertify an election — something that Mike Pence also discovered while escaping the gallows on January 6. Vos compounded his treachery by firing Mike Gableman — after hiring him in the first place. (Lay down with fleas …) Vos barely survived a primary challenge from Election Truther Adam Steen, who announced a write-in campaign for the November 8 election.
Sore losers need scapegoats, as did the Hebrews in the Book of Leviticus.
A hothead named N.c. Bill Gillette …. puts Vos “on notice!”
Vos – You are on Notice: First, Apologize to Judge Gableman, Assemblywoman Brandtjen and Tim Ramthun for slandering them. Second, use as much money from your [Republican Assembly Campaign Committee], as you can, to run Commercials on behalf of Tim Michels and Ron Johnson and attacking Evers & Barnes… Get with it – Now!
We asked N.c. Bill Gillette why he would unilaterally disarm Republican Assembly candidates to the advantage of Democrats? Also asked if multi-millionaire Tim Michels was running short of campaign funds? Did he declare personal bankruptcy? We also asked N.c. if he had any enforcement measures in mind. Awaiting his response.
Another fratricidal Republican, Dan Clauser, faults Vos for “put[ing] up election [integrity] bills he knows will be vetoed but sabotages election investigations.” Is he aware that a progressive Democrat now occupies the governor’s mansion? Tony Evers vetoed them all! Vos cynically started an investigation into the stolen election myth only to pull up the football when Mike Gableman got too close to the truth? It is to laugh:
Social media traffic:
Paris Procopis: Interesting….[Vos] been literally lying to Trump all these months. I imagine he will align more with Liz Cheney.
Nicholas Charles Kind: Sure hope the Steen write in campaign can succeed over this tool. We’d be a lot better without him.
Heidi Henkel- Hanke: The man is vile!! Toss this tu rd Voss….write in Steen.
Gabrielle Bodie: Vos is Corupt
Speaker Vos, Sen. McConnell, and Republican governors like Doug Ducey of Arizona and Brian Kemp of Georgia are — what? Sleeper agents? Nominal Republicans, just waiting for the Queen of Diamonds to be turned face up so that they can sabotage Donald Trump? Attorney General Bill Barr is a Benedict Arnold? Sixty courts, state and federal, many of the judges and justices appointed by Republicans, bought off by three pieces of silver?
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Stolen Election true believers need villains because too many gag cigars have exploded in their faces. Cyber Ninjas found more votes for Joe Biden in Maricopa County, not fewer. Sidney Powell says Never Mind about her allegation that Hugo Chavez jiggered voting machines. Mike Gableman spent $1 million on a snipe hunt. They’ll believe anything that confirms their conspiracy theory because the truth hurts too much.

Yep. At this point it is just boring.
The WI Supreme Court ruled our state election laws were violated at every turn by Democrat cities with massive funding from Zuckerberg including illegal drop boxes, unknown individuals collecting ballots in cloth bags in city parks without voter identification or verification, and unrestricted ballot harvesting including incapacitated residents of assisted living facilities. This was RAMPANT in 2020 and IT. WAS. ILLEGAL.

The supreme court did not rule on Zuckerbucks. Outside spending by private interests in running Wisconsin elections should be prohibited by law. Vos’ Assembly passed such a law; was vetoed by Tony Evers. As for the rest, the supreme court did clarify that drop boxes outside official polling places are not allowed in future elections; it did not invalidate the 2020 election. All ballots cast had to match voter registration lists. As for incapacitated individuals, there is a legal process to formally declare incapacitation. Very few such court determinations are ever sought. Ron Johnson voted to accept the results of the 2020 election. If you think Robin Vos is a secret Joe Biden mole, you are delusional.

I did not say the Supreme Court ruled against Zuckerbucks. They did in fact declare what was FUNDED in Democrat cities by Zuckerberg was in fact ILLEGAL.
I said nothing about Vos. I leave him to the resident troll who fantasizes that he is somehow going to lose like Mandela and Tony Earl—err, Evers.

I just wish that we could go back to a time that we could all be Americans. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are our original documents. We all need to study them and memorize them in their complete form. We need to help our children remember them like Bible verses. We need to make sure that they understand the meaning of being an American.
In His great name did we start this country.
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy on my nation!
Amen.

“In His great name” means what. Are you saying that we need a nation under ONE god? A Christian nationalistic state? A place where there is no separation of state and church? “help our children remember the bible verses” ” the meaning of being American” yep; freedom of religious persecution for one ? You Christians have been responsible for more death and destruction throughout the ages than anyone. What happens to the people who do not believe in YOUR god? Death?

Ever hear of ABORTION?
According to the Guttmacher Institute in 2020 there were over 930,000 abortions in the U.S. alone.
Pub Med https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14627053/, says that there were Approximately 26 million legal and 20 million illegal abortions were performed worldwide in 1995, resulting in a worldwide abortion rate of 35 per 1,000 women aged 15-44.
That is not including all the people who are murdered each year by criminals or governments that have no use for the word of God.

In the 20th century alone 2 atheist empires were responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths.
They were not religious believers, they were brutal atheist dictatorships that killed so many people it is mind-boggling. Public education in this country should be required to teach these atrocities instead of pushing trans ideology and racial hatred on kids.
