What we don't know about the election

Excellent article. I agree.

November will be a great time to be in Southeast Missouri, where calm and respects seems to prevail and hopefully remains. I doubt it will be thusly in larger metro areas.

We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. "At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah" (Psa 75:1-3 ESV)

Here is another RBG quote that in 2016 violated the code of Supreme Court Justices.

IMO, why wasn't there a cut off of post marked dates for mail in ballots (unscured), such as 10/27/20 to arrive on or prior to 11/3/20. This would have stopped some of the possible hissy fits from both parties....but that would take some common sense which is lacking in the USA.

I agree with Stan. SE Missouri is a calm, respectful community and fortunately has good conservative roots with people that respect law and order and each other.

Other than a few college immigrants from urban areas who support antifa, etc. I wouldn't expect anything too violent. We are a self-supporting, responsible hard-working people and the day after this election we'll get up, make our morning coffee and head to work like we've always done - regardless of who wins.

Anybody notice how we start to resemble a South American country more than the beacon of democracy in the world. We have a ruler who has said for months that he might not step down, regardless of the results. At that point, would he be removed by force and is that a "coup"? We could have a ruler again who may not be the choice of the people (popular vote).With the spiraling debt (especially with socialistic bail outs and more on the way), will the dollar eventually be devalued? Is this what MAGA is? What it was supposed to be? It's an old question: are you really better off now than you were 4 years ago? I am not!! And that ain't a political pitch for Biden.

Obama doubled the U.S. debt in just 8 years. Did you vote for him? Do you sincerely believe that with Biden's "Medicare for all", "free college", "climate change spending" etc. that the debt won't spiral?

Or are you just making a political pitch for Biden? Hard to believe you seriously care about spiraling debt and would criticize Trump who approved a couple trillion in democrat and republican spending for the China virus - no fault of his or this country.

In the words of your candidate... come on man!

I am better off now, financially because of tax decreases the Trump administration have approved and yes I work full time. And I am proud to support individuals who still have respect for life, especially the unborn. I wonder often how anyone can support a political party that has no problem with aborting babies. Just makes no sense to me.

I don't want China to appoint our President....that's why it Should Not be China Joe and Ultra Liberal Harris.

Schaefer's (fantasy) World: speaking of learning history, you might want to brush up. The man you are referring to was Tom Eagleton. Danforth is the one who recommended Clarence Thomas to GHW Bush to be a justice on the SCOTUS. You are welcome.

For those who hit "don't respect" concerning the betterment of our country and the horrible act of aborting babies...you are the problem we have to overcome. I have talked to many liberals who say..."well I'm against abortion....but.....". There is no but. It's like being pregnant. You are either pregnant or you are not. If you vote democratic, you are supporting abortion and all of AOC's warped ideas for America and everything else the ultra liberal democratic "party" represents.

Are you having a knee-jerk reaction to Schaefer? I don't see where he commented on Danforth. Only your socialist buddy Srappy64 did so. Comprehend much?

Now you'll have to apologize to an anonymous poster who is as far-left as you are. This ought to be good!

There is only one thing that matters. Under who will you stand a better chance of surviving COVID-19, Biden or Trump? The answer is Biden. This is a one issue Election, it is COVID-19 and nothing else!

None of that matters if you are dead from COVID-19. This is about voting to live!

not_sorry: I must be in Masterson's head.

******************

Masterson: What?

Schaefer removed his comment that I responded to because it was so flawed and so wrong. He was wrong what he said about Danforth and i guess he was so embarrassed he took down his comment. He knows what I'm referring to.

Scrappy64 saw Schaefer's comment just as I did. Maybe he will tell us why he took it down, but I doubt it.

Masterson: It was funny to see you and Scrappy probably emailing/calling/comparing notes and on and on. However it pains me but you were right - I got the wrong Missouri Senator. However, the Google censor once again deleted my comments.

BTW, Danforth probably had a big payday from the DNC for posting his comments. Where's Joe and Hunter hiding? Who will the DNC replace Joe with once he is indicted?

Guess Danforth is the latest Darling of the Democrats since he bad-mouthed Trump. However; Danforth was the enemy while a Republican Senator - no surprise. The following is from the very Senior Bob Dole who at 97 has more common sense than Dementia Joe has.

I still was under the impression Scrappy was cancelling his/her subscription. I guess it's like Barbara Streisand, who vowed to leave the US if Trump beat Hillary. And yet she's still here. All talk.

This is off subject but Jon, look and see if you can find the 3 1/2 pages that outlines how the cares act monies are to be spent by counties. I think we need it.

Established in late 2019, the Lincoln Project is a conservative super PAC that aims to “defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box” in 2020..Posted by Diseased Turtle* on Wed, Oct 21, 2020, at 6:55 PM.

Yep the Lincoln Project made up of defeated sore losers to now President Trump and Closet Misfit Democrats who together under the name of the tainted Lincoln Project will re-elect for a second term our President Trump!!

BrahmaBull. You would bust out of your corral without this comments activity. Enjoy seeing you and Scrappy goin at it!

Jon Rust’s plea to keep our cool concerning the presidential election and its results was made more difficult today when we learned that external, foreign actors are attempting to sow seeds of chaos that threaten our democracy. In my opinion, this is being complemented by similar efforts to affect chaos and doubt from internal sources emanating from the highest level of the executive branch.

The US national debt grew $9.548 billion from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2017. It is on pace to reach an increase of $10.662 billion from 1/1/2017 to 12/31/2020. https://www.thebalance.com/national-debt-by-year-compared-to-gdp-and-major-event...

12/31/2016, not 2017. My typo.

Nobody in office seems to care Tom. Look at how this cares act money is going out the door proves once and for all that republicans tax, spend and waste money just like democrats.

Boo: Who gave all Americans a tax cut - Republicans. Who wants to give free money to the Illegals and to bail out the States mismanaged by Democratic controlled governors - Democrats. Now then who wastes taxpayers money (D) and who reduces taxes to improve the USA economy such as it was before the Chinese Virus was unleashed on the world by China (R).

What Schaefer said... sorry Boo, your attempt to upset conservatives failed. I'm still voting Trump for the very reasons Schaefer mentioned.

Plus Biden's open borders, free college, taxpayer funded aboertion and, in his own words, higher taxes. Oh - and defunding police.

Gonna take more than that.

Debt free...yea it's fun! And you're probably right.

Are you Trump or are you a Republican ?

Posted by Diseased Turtle* on Thu, Oct 22, 2020, at 8:05 AM

I'm proud to say that I'm a Conservative Republican who supports President Trump and his reelection.

Now then Closet Democrat what say you.

Here you go Boo...

"I am not voting for a man. I am voting for the principles for which this country has stood since its founding. I am voting for Constitutional government. I am voting for a strong and viable military. I am voting for a vibrant economy. I am voting for the right to keep and bear arms. I am voting for the freedom to worship. I am voting for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on Biblical principles. I am voting for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful. I am voting for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated. I am voting for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law. I am voting for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections. I am voting for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it. I am voting to teach history, with all its warts, not erase it or revise it. I am voting for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after."

Uh oh!!! From MSN News:

"Hunter Biden's ex-partner says Joe Biden was involved in China deal"

"A man who describes himself as a former business partner of Hunter Biden says he heard him and his father, Joe Biden, discuss his dealings with a mysterious Chinese energy firm in 2017 and that the former vice president was due to receive a share of the profits.

Tony Bobulinski told the New York Post on Wednesday that he personally witnessed Biden discuss business deals with his son, Hunter, contradicting claims by the former vice president.

'I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business.

‘I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.’

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/hunter-biden-s-ex-partner-says-joe-biden...

Ol' Joe Biden figured out how Hillary Clinton went from "dead broke" after she left the WHite House to 1/4 BILLION dollars when she left office as secretary of state.

He was trying to get some of that action. Corrupt to the core.

So you have a drink with someone and you're guilty of fraud?

Pretty low standards you have there.

Leslie Stahl and CBS 60 Minutes got Trumped! Good job President Trump for exposing their biased reporting.
