40. The day after the election

Wed Dec 30, 2020, 06:57 PM

Dec 2020

I wondered WTF happened in Maine, Kentucky, and S Carolina......The races were neck and neck in the polls, and then landslide numbers came in for the incumbent Republicans.........

Anyone that thinks that Putin would just screw with the election just at the Presidential Election level is terribly Naive......

Interesting that the electronic voting machines used in Kentucky are the ones that were used in 2000 and 2004. That one fact answers what happened. The RepubliCON control of the Senate is the ONE thing that has brought all this misery upon the nation. Without the RepubliCONS controlling the Senate, Trump wouldn't have lasted one month after being installed as president. Period. And if they continue to be in control, we face four more years of obstruction, even worse than we have been witnessing.....

I have to say, that the things I had hoped for after Obama was elected, was that he would have the FEC, FBI, and DOJ launch a major investigation into the corruptible electronic voting.

The other is that he would wage war with the Pharmaceutical companies, including negotiating medicare drug prices.........
