I think the real question that needs to be asked is why do people keep insisting on believing things that have been proven false ?

Hi Al, what makes the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol an insurrection vs. a protest that got out of hand is the intent of the attack was to prevent a due process that the misguided and misinformed attackers thought was a mandatory prerequisite described in our Constitution for declaring Joe Biden the president-elect.
Hope that clears things up.
Hi Al, to be clear, I'm not adverse to the other candidates seeking the Republican nomination who represent Reagan era Republican principles - updated to reflect 1st century realities. Which Trump definitely does not.
And also to be clear - Trump supporters are the real RINOs. Real Republicans want someone else to be president. You know, someone who doesn't try to coerce election officials to "find" 12000 votes. Someone who doesnt try to instate fake electors willing to ignore the will of the voters. Someone who doesnt watch with glee as people storm the US Capitol - violating the oath he took when he was sworn in.
People who support Trump are not real Republicans.
Hi Al, I hope everything is well with you.
I don't really have much to say here. I just dont want Trump to be the Republican nominee. So I'm in favor of anything that will make that come to be.
Chris
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Speaking of wack-doodle Trump worshippers:
Fact check: False claim that Donald Trump can be reinstated by Moore v. Harper SCOTUS ruling
https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-false-claim-donald-211640345.html
I mean how stupid do you have to believe there's any constitutional process for a president who lost an election to be reinstated ?
Trump is so fucking mentally ill. Its only a matter of time before he tells his loyal followers that the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol never happened and therefore he's totally innocent of any wrongdoing.
Thanks for posting that Al.
The dystopic nature of our inner cities cannot be traced back to slavery. Modern-day political machines are the culprits. Paying women to have fatherless children; running schools that avoid imparting basic math and literacy skills while lowering the standards for achievement; suppressing police responses to avoid bad optics and litigation… all add up to imposed squalor. And none of this can be traced back to slavery or any of its aftereffects.
I'm in favor or reparations in concept. But I dont think it would be constructive for African Americans to pay society back for the trillions we've spent on them since the 1980s. I just think we should call it even.
Seriously.
OMG I'll never be able to "un see" that !
I guess I'm gonna have to spend the rest of the day looking at pics of Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot !
The things some people will do to raise money for their criminal defense legal expenses.
Hey Al, I thought Jackie Gleason was dead.
Oh and yeah "Multiple polls conclude that upwards of 70 percent of Americans think our elections are filled with fraud." is a complete lie.
I feel that the total route of the trump picked candidates was a step back toward restoration of sanity.
I agree. I keep explaining to the MAGA-leaning folks here how much educated moderates hate Trump, which is why he lost the 2020 election. And not because of voting fraud.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's new 'endorsement of violence

Just so we're all clear, the trend towards anarchy is increasing.
Hi DesertDrifter, you must have a different definition of hypothetical than I do.
'We want total war': Young Republican group cheers on the next insurrection
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/we-want-total-war-young-republican-group-cheers-on-the-next-insurrection/ar-AA159Nfv
Polls show that about sixty percent of the American people believe the 2020 election was stolen.
Not true. Its sad that AmericanThinker has stooped to blatant lying now. But as I've said for many years now, lying by the media, our politicians, and our institutions, is the accepted norm now.
Hi DesertDrifter, let's pretend a group of nutcase vigilantes storms the US Capitol and successfully prevents the orderly transfer of power to the legitimately elected president.
The illegitimate president declares martial law and orders all male college educated registered democrats to be sent to "temporary" FEMA housing.
And off they go never to be heard of again because all none of them had any weapons to allow them to resist being rounded up.
Now I know what you're thinking. Never in a million years would a group of brainwashed nutcases storm the US Capitol. But you know, it could happen, lol.
Hi blackhawks, people have gone back and forth on this forever. I was just explaining the sentence structure to you. And the sentence structure makes it clear that everyone has the right to arm themselves.
But I agree that there's no reason for most people to own firearms. And I dont understand parts of our country that have a gun-obsessed culture.
I dont own any guns because I don't have any reason to. But if the brainwashed "election was stolen" crowd decides to take their dissatisfaction to the next level, I want the right to buy some. And you should too.
Hi blackhawks, thanks for posting that. I didnt know the muzzle speed of an ar-15 was twice the speed of a typical semi-automatic handgun.
In regards to a "well regulated militia", so much bad sentence parsing by progressives has been associated with that 2nd amendment sentence. Basically the sentence phrase is irrelevant. Look at this sentence and see for yourself.
"In order to stay dry, everyone should have the right to own an umbrella."
As you can see, "in order to stay dry" is a reason for owning an umbrella, not a prerequisite.
By the way, if you search this board you will see that I've suggested several times that raising the age of maturity for buying, owning, having, and operating a semi-automatic or automatic weapon should be 25 if not higher. This would eliminate a high percentage of gun injuries and fatalities without violating the 2nd amendment.
Awwwww I thought this was a story from the "Bee" until I got to the bottom. Is AmericanThinker trying to compete with them ? lol
Hi Al, a simple internet search on "how many american die each year" disproves this article.
First of all to even believe 3 million people have died from the covid vaccine is ridiculous. If it were true, we would ALL know several people who have died from the vaccine. But back to the debunk:
https://usafacts.org/articles/preliminary-us-death-statistics-more-deaths-in-2020-than-2019-coronavirus-age-flu/
As you can see, the number of ALL AMERICAN DEATHS each year is like 3.2M. So there's no way that 1.5M of those deaths were vaccine related. However, several hundred thousand of those deaths were from contracting covid during those 1st 12 months .... before there was a vaccine available to protect us.
There's really only one rational conclusion here. Just like there's only one rational conclusion relating to claims of massive voter fraud.
The rational conclusion: you're being lied to.
Hi Al, but but but there was no "massive fraud", so what "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution" is he referring to ? The ones that say the person who gets the most votes in each state wins that state ? We have a Constitutional amendment process to change the Constitution. Why didnt he simply suggest that ? Of course we all know why.
And despite what the liberal media suggests, Trump doesnt want to terminate the entire Constitution - he's definitely a big fan of the 5th Amendment ! lolol
Trump to GA Sec of State: Just find me 100,000 votes. I know they're hiding somewhere.
If that were true, he would have gotten elected.
And look at all the "election was stolen" Trump-endorsed that didnt win last month.
RINO = Republicans who believe in upholding the Constitution.
Trumpublicans = Traitors who still believe there was massive voting fraud.
I hope this clears things up.
Well I guess the good news is that in the unlikely event Trump wins the 2024 election, he wont make it past the swearing in ceremony.
Hi bbotcs, I suspect Trump was planning on announcing his candidacy basking on the glow of overturned Democratic house seats. That plus DeSantis's popularity took the air out of that plan.
I don't think Trump appreciates how much his continued discredited lies about the 2020 election along with condoning a rabid storming of the Capitol turned moderate republicans against him.
As for Maryland, we'll see what comes next. Hopefully the democrats will remember its was their "rain tax" that got Hogan elected and they will govern with that in mind.
Hi Al, not a bad article. Thanks.
Hi bbotcs, I think the MD Governors contest was more of a vote against a person who sides with MAGA election was stolen nonsense. The outcome was very lopsided. Which should tell you something.
But I never thought about the media elevating Wes Moore above that. Ugh.
Anthony Brown, who got elected as MD Attorney General, has a pretty impressive personal bio. I'm guessing he's looking to be MD's governor next time around.
Hi Al ! Based on the number of house seat that are expected to flip from democrat to republican, I think we can all agree the republicans will have successfully tampered with those democratic mail in ballots and stolen the midterm election.
there's no other explanation.
Hi Ergosum, I cant speak to the 7.7% that needed medical attention - it would be nice to know the age or health of that group, but as for the 25% - yes there's a lot of evidence the vaccine wipes you out for a day - cuz your injecting a safe version of the virus so your body can generate antibodies and attack it. So the 25% stat is meaningless - in fact if anything its proof the vaccine is working.
Trump knew vote fraud claims were false
Ok so he's not stupid, he's just a total fucking lying asshole.

Hi Arizona1, I'm not quite following you. I really havent kept up with who in the Republican Party wants to eliminate SS and Medicare.
As for me - I have other savings and income streams outside of my 401K. Enough to replace my SS and still keep up with inflation if I need to. Which by 2035, I expect to.
The other thing is my expertise is still in demand. I've kept current on several in demand technologies. So I may keep working part time for a few more years.
Hi Arizona1, (it will only cover about 25% - 30% of what I need to live) and saved accordingly.
I saved accordingly.
I also worked for IBM for many years which in exchange for a slightly lower salary, provided a decent pension benefit. But even that pension benefit a generation earlier would have covered 75% of a married couple's retirement expenses, covers only 50% of mine. So once I had my monthly mortgage payment under control, I started saving via 401K.
So pension+401K+SS = my retirement income. I'm too young to collect SS so I still work part time.
Hi bbotcs, you should ask some real liberals if I am a liberal, and see how they react lol.
I'm not a liberal and I'm not a conservative - I'm in the middle somewhere. Think of me as a Libertarian/Reagan Republican - who doesnt believe in what seems to be a be a never ending stream of debunked sore loser conspiracy theories.
By the way, real conservatives would have expressed their wish to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on Trump for betraying the Constitution. Instead they are violently defending the type of person the 2nd amendment was designed to protect the citizens against. How messed up is that ?
Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Was 'All Pelosi's Fault'
GM Al, lol. Even the "Bee" wouldnt write an article as full of shit as this one.
Dear Devin Nunes, you are a lying dickhead. The Capitol police force was there and there were several hundred of them. They should have used tear gas but by the time things went from angry protest to storming the Capitol, it was too late.
And THERE WAS FENCING. TWO LAYERS OF IT.
We live in a country where everyone (both on the far left and far right) lies to rewrite facts and history. Its shameful.
Hi getmoreshares, compared to most health insurance plans, medicare is a bargain - its about half of what I was paying last year - and that includes my Part B supplemental insurance.
So I'm happy to pay it.
Hi bbotcs, I prefer to vote in person. But not everyone - especially the elderly cant always get to their polling place as easily as we can.
Washington state I believe is almost entirely mail-in for some time now and they havent had any problems. And I find it odd that the only states where there were false claims of voter fraud are the ones where Trump narrowly lost. No place else ? And just votes for president ? Hmmmmmm.
Thanks for the info on the Red Line. I cant say one way or the other if Baltimore needs it. Hogan put the money into the new Harry Nice bridge which was sorely needed.
We also badly need another Potomac River crossing in Maryland, and have for 30 years. But the only place to build it would be right through a rural part of our county and pretty much suburbanizing it.
I'll be long dead by then.
I'm sorta hoping I will be too - but our kids wont be.
And my kids know how to shoot pistols, shotguns, rifles, and semiautomatics too.
And guess whose gutz they hate ? (Hint: recent ex-president with initials DT) lol
Racist or not racist ? California admits criminal behavior of lower income black men is a way of life.
Prosecutors have contended that lyrics sometimes contain open confessions to crimes, while critics argue that the evidence unfairly targets people of color, as rappers’ songs — which are often figurative — can embrace themes of criminality and violence.
It doesnt unfairly target them - it fairly targets them.
