P&C drink and review the Yuengling / Hershey chocolate porter, then discuss why some people think we’re having a civil war right now.
Civil wars don’t always entail big armies in uniforms on opposite sides of a field. Rather, it has more to do with the legitimacy of the government, and that does seem to be under attack.
Is the United States a great country that needs to be preserved, or an evil country that needs to be “fundamentally transformed”? 1619 project, call your office.
The boys discuss the signs that there is something like a civil war brewing.
The show ends with P&C predictions for the upcoming presidential election.
I don’t have a prediction who will win. I think Biden will kill Trump in the popular vote…even more so than Hillary beat Trump. Electoral vote? Yeah, there’s the challenge. On Chris Wallace yesterday the politicos were saying that Trump has stopped spending in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Wisconsin was a big win for him last time around…big, not in a percentage, but that he was a surprising winner overcoming big preliminary polls where Dems had often carried. Biden has the edge in spending right now outraising Trump.
I predict he will win Oklahoma. That’s not a bold prediction. It’s like predicting the sun will rise tomorrow. There aren’t a ton of ads on the air. Neither campaign is spending much money here. They don’t want to waste money here when it’s known orange bozo will carry OK. A few here for Trump and few for Biden.
I feel for my old colleagues at Kiplinger, who have to make a prediction each year. (Or they feel they need to.) The polls make it pretty clear Biden will win, but everyone is spooked by how bad the polls were last time.
If it’s true that civil war is about legitimacy, there’s this.
Pelosi Calls Amy Coney Barrett an ‘Illegitimate Supreme Court Justice’
Yeah, we might be in one. It seems like half the country doesn’t accept the election. Don’t know what the polling numbers say is the real number…and even if I knew the polling numbers…would have to question whether they are legit.
It sometimes seems to me that this was orange bozo’s plan. It seems his followers believe whatever nonsense he says. He has been stoking a rigged election for 4 1/2 years. And, he has been stoking the “fake news” for 4 1/2 years. And now he’s stoking a fake government. He has set up his own hotline to report voter fraud. No, don’t trust your local or state election board to investigate reports. Don’t trust the state police to investigate voter fraud. Don’t trust the FBI to investigate voter fraud. Only trust Trump, your orange deity. Only trust your orange deity to investigate.
Now, some people are calling the lines with purposely fake information to jam up the lines. The campaign is complaining about fake information…on lines that, to tell the truth, are designed to collect fake information. If we have witnesses, we want them to be testifying under oath to investigators and in a court of law. We want people who were at the same polling place to be able to say, yes, it happened, or, no, it didn’t happen…all under penalty of perjury.
On a funny note to this not so funny story, I guess the LtGov of PA said about the vote count, “math doesn’t care about your feelings.” In Michigan, Trump got trounced by 150,000 votes. I don’t see a recall fixing that. My sister and her husband both voted for orange bozo last time. This time they voted for Biden.
I opened a Parler account this week because someone at my parish gave her account name. All I can say is, that if Twitter is hell or a cesspool, Parler is the cesspool of hell. Twitter definitely skews one way, and with the editors. Parler is like Trump’s and Bannon’s Ids’ run amok. Saw someone on Twitter call Parler “MeinSpace.” (…if you remember MySpace before FB)
