Dang, guys...I understand how you feel. Really, I do. But SUMBITCH, there's lots of shellshock out there.
first: It AIN'T over. The media and the dims want you to be despondent and dispirited. Just fu***** stop buying into it. I would suggest there are things happening that the media won't report which we all know this is a fact. Hold on to hope.
second: Let's PUSH like hell for a legitimate recount, and support the Donald any way we can. Stop the negative, defeatist chatter.
third: In case BiteMe is indeed given the keys to the Oval Office, remember what we started doing in 2009---which I personally see as having been somewhat effective in minimizing the damage that The Zero was able to inflict on the nation.
fourth: If number 3 comes to pass, then resolve to do at least ONE THING each and every day to fight back and resist. Do not give in to the notion that we've got to chop off heads in the public square until that really is the last option, because that kind of thinking is only going to paralyze you into complete inaction otherwise.
fifth: Remember that we DID survive eight whole freekin years of The Zero, which I thought was highly improbable in January 2009.
sixth: Do not lose sight of the fact that all this fraud is effectively an act of disenfranchisement. It's not a fait accompli yet, even though it might look like it is. Remember, this is what the media is trying to persuade you to believe.
seventh: I remember seeing bumper stickers in the late 80s that read "think globally, act locally." It was obviously a subtle leftist initiative, and its efficacy cannot be denied. If they can use that playbook, so can we---but it won't work for those with short attention spans or those who expect instant gratification.
We got work to do. We're not shirkers, so let's stop talking and acting like that.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I truly admire your optimism. Not just optimism, its called reality. More here need to learn how to deal with it.

If you don't have hope, then what DO you have?

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I'm afraid there will be a run on scaffold lumber and hanging rope before things are really right again.

Many of us survived and thrived through: LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, came up for air during Reagan and the Bushes. If Clinton and Obammy couldn't kill us why quit now? Quit whining and keep fighting. only Poosies quit.

I'm afraid there will be a run on scaffold lumber and hanging rope before things are really right again. In the Biblical story of Esther, things were looking good for Haman and bad for Mordecai until Esther exposed Haman. Haman was hanged on the gallows he built for Mordecai. Maybe something like that will happen here before New Year's Day......rhetorically speaking of course.

mike r You seem to misunderstand: it isn't the who, it is the how. If a national election is openly rigged and nothing is done to right the situation, do you think anyone you would want to be in office would ever get elected ever again?

If Biteme had won outright, it would have been a different situation and I could deal with it. But THEY STOLE IT! That can't go unanswered and some lame law suit or passive resistance isn't enough. It's time for some real action.

I hear and understand, KC. But dammit, it's not all past tense yet. They're sure as hell TRYING to steal it, but it's not a done deal. It's always darkest before the dawn. I know you know this: 3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I think this situation calls for judo instead. Use the momentum of their attack to put them on the ground. They have gone too far to step back, and have misjudged the field on which they wage war. Hence no blue wave and a loss of margin in The House, failure to gain control of the Senate and no support for the farcical margins published by pollsters.
