We desperately need to have the courage to tell these sissies to grow up

Penguin Random House Staff Confront Publisher About New Jordan Peterson Book

They cried. Over a book. By a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology.

This anti-free-speech nonsense has to end, and we need to tell these sissies who are “triggered” by anything they don’t agree with that we simply don’t care about their feelings.

What is Trump’s strategy in contesting the election?

His chances of successfully contesting the results were small to begin with, and they have become smaller each day. Now there’s virtually no chance — unless the Kraken appears in about the next five minutes.

So what’s the end game?

Trump is a spoil sport and can’t accept defeat, or that he was ever wrong. And that may be enough explanation, but I think it’s deeper than that. I think Trump is very angry about the disgraceful way he was treated by the Democrats, and he wants to pay them back. See this as an example of that kind of thinking.

The 2020 election has provided fertile ground upon which Republicans can spend the next four years doing to Joe Biden what the Democrats did to Donald Trump and George W. Bush.

For four years, Democrats and their media allies trumpeted every claim, no matter how baseless or crazy, that Trump’s 2016 election win was illegitimate and fraudulent. Despite zero evidence that so much as a single vote was interfered with, Democrats peddled the hoax that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to elect Trump. Even after the Mueller investigation exonerated Trump and his campaign from the collusion canard, Democrats, led by the shameless Adam Schiff, continued to allege collusion. Their simple goal was to undermine and delegitimize the Trump presidency. It clearly worked to the degree some voters turned their backs on Trump even as they voted Republican down-ballot. Revenge of the Republicans

Are we going to have four more years of “not my president,” now from the Republicans?

I hope not.

I’m sure there was cheating in the election. Humans were involved, and humans cheat. But I doubt there was enough cheating to make a difference. Still, credible claims of voter fraud must be investigated, and, if found, new measures must be put in place to make sure things are fair.

At the same time, we have to allow the normal process to go forward unless and until there’s clear, compelling evidence of sufficient fraud to call the results into question.

Which raises an interesting question. What if Biden is inaugurated and then we determine, five months later, that he didn’t really win?

I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I wonder what the procedure would be.

Also, Trump has not been one to follow presidential precedent. Ex-presidents are supposed to fade into the background and allow the new guy to do his job.

I don’t think Trump will do that. I think he’ll start campaigning for 2024 as soon as he leaves office.

What causes poverty, and can we fix it?

P&C drink and review Pigweed’s Silky Well Digger Porter, then discuss the poor.

What contributes to poverty? Does poverty cause bad neighborhoods? Do bad neighborhoods cause poverty? What makes poverty persist in an area?

A recent study shows a correlation between poor neighborhoods and less impulse control and less ability to delay gratification. Can you catch poverty from your neighborhood?

Are better programs and better policies able to fix poverty? (How did the war on poverty work out?)

On the other hand, are there steps people can take to stay out of poverty?
