The sad part about Lindsey is that IF he is in fact gay and been hiding it, he would become an overnight sensation and LBGTQ HERO for the ages if he just came out, admitted he was gay and that he was being blackmailed over it.

He would win BIGLY.

I would be able to actually like something about him if he did that.

Chris Cuomo succinctly makes a very valid argument.

.

What does this country face in the immediate future, not just from COVID-19 or the Economic train wreck heading our way, but from Trump & his sycophants in the GOP?
There is/will be a vaccine for COVID-19, but what is to be done about the almost half of the population of this country that still supports the direction/ideals that Trump puts forth?
The fucking majority of the House/Senate Republicans still, to this day, have not acknowledged Biden's win.
Ah, shit is all that I can say.
Trump declared Antifa a terrorist organization, well look in the fucking mirror all you traitorous Trump/Republican motherfuckers, you & you alone are the one's that have/will lead to the downfall of our Democracy.

Politics or social war? Malicious intent? They all either are or support the Republicans.

Accused hate groups receive pandemic aid (nbcnews.com)

Accused hate groups receive pandemic aid
14 groups identified as hate groups benefited from the PPP program.

Fourteen organizations designated as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Anti-Defamation League have received funding from the Paycheck Protection Program totaling $4.3 million, according to data released last week by the Small Business Administration, revealing who benefited from the pandemic federal relief funds.

Those organizations include the New Century Foundation, known for publishing the white supremacist website and now-discontinued magazine American Renaissance. That group is run by prominent white supremacist Jared Taylor, who for decades has argued that immigration policy should aim to “keep the country white.” The New Century Foundation received $51,600 in relief funds.

The analysis by NBC News, one of 11 newsrooms that sued for the release of data, was based on hate groups designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Anti-Defamation League, that received PPP money and primarily focus on advocating against immigrants and opposing the advancement of homosexual and transgender rights. NBC News crosschecked the PPP data against 73 different designated hate groups whose work and advocacy focuses on attacking, maligning and delegitimizing entire classes of people based on their ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or if they have a disability.

The same list of hate groups was used in an assessment earlier this year for research conducted by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, an anti-extremism think tank, and the Global Disinformation Index, a nonprofit research group, that analyzed how hate groups fundraise and collect payments online, which was exclusively reported by NBC News. All the groups assessed were also active as of 2020 and are actively promoting hateful ideologies, whether through literature, online content or grassroots organizing. In total, the 14 accused hate groups that received relief funds analyzed by NBC News were awarded a total of $4.3 million in PPP loans. Overall more than 5.2 million PPP loans worth more than $525 billion were approved, according to the SBA.

The groups that received funds also include American Family Association, a group that opposes what its leaders describe as the "homosexual agenda." It received $1,390,800 in PPP funds. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, known as FAIR, an anti-immigration group founded by leaders that hold ties to white supremacists, also was awarded $683,680 from the relief program.

Among the anti-LGBT groups that received relief funds is Church Militant, an organization that runs a media operation that advocates for so-calledgay conversion therapies and links homosexuality to pedophilia, reaching large followings across Facebook, YouTube and on its own website. The group received a $301,100 PPP loan, according to SBA data.

Do yourself a favor and watch the first minute of this video at least, to get an idea of what Trump is leaving Joe, besides a pandemic disaster, a divided nation, a possible war with Iran and a delayed tax increase on working people kicking in, but the rich keep their breaks, winning, MAGA. I call it national sabotage, supported by the republicans and if Mitch can he will do anything he can to impede progress, or any addressing the problems, to do that requires income redistribution and other things he would rather die than see come to pass.

Racism and bigotry jerk your chain this hard, it's not disinformation, the truth is in their faces every day of the week, they actively seek out lies that support their biases and shun the truth. Sure propaganda radicalizes them like middle eastern terrorists and works them up, but they chose to ignore reality and are thus not a victim, they are victimizers, of themselves first, then others. There are no two sides are the same and it's just politics, this is what social war looks like and the next step is civil war. If you support the US constitution, you really don't have a choice in the matter, war has been made upon you and your families, it is being waged on your primary instrument of freedom and peace, the constitution.

Anybody who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities, anybody wanna argue that point?

How many democrats accepted the election results at this point in 2016? There was plenty of just cause for them to question the election as Russia supported Trump and took measures to make sure he won, with his active cooperation and that of his campaign and his campaign manages have been convicted. The Trump supporters have NO evidence of election cheating whatsoever, none, zero basis for belief. There is no confusion here, no ambiguity, they are wrong and making death threats to public and election officials by the thousands.

Are these people enemies of the US constitution or not? If they are then take the same measures you would take with any other enemy who would destroy you and your country. There is a reason the oath is worded , ALL ENIMIES FORIGN & DOMESTIC, whether they wear a, rag on their head, a grey kepi or a red MAGA hat, they are all the same, act accordingly.

Indeed, you may have to shoot your brother to save your country, it's been done before. In war you win or lose and sometimes you fight to a draw, but if the other side continues to attack, there is no peace, there never was, it was an illusion. America just feed black people to the monster to appease it for over a century, you never won the civil war, you just fought to a draw.

Fortunately this war won't be fought with guns, though they will be used, it will be fought with ideas, elections, laws and regulations. These are the weapons that will not just defeat them, but destroy them, that was the mistake you made the last time, you never finished the job. Ultimately it lead to this...

Poll: Only Quarter Of Republicans Accept 2020 Election Results : NPR

Poll: Just A Quarter Of Republicans Accept Election Outcome

A solid majority of Americans trust that the results of the 2020 presidential election are accurate, but only about a quarter of Republicans do, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey.

Sixty-one percent say they trust the results, including two-thirds of independents, but just 24% of Republican respondents say they accept the results.

Nonetheless, President-elect Joe Biden is set to take office Jan. 20, and the coronavirus pandemic will be a central focus. On that front, Americans largely have confidence in Biden's ability to handle the crisis, and the number saying they'll take a vaccine when it comes available has risen over the past few months. But skepticism about a vaccine is driven by Republicans, particularly Republican women.

A rocky transition

More than a month after Biden won the election and was declared president-elect, President Trump continues to baselessly allege widespread voter fraud and falsely claim the outcome is not yet known.

"We're going to have to see who the next administration is because we won in the swing states," Trump said Tuesday when asked why he wasn't including Biden transition officials during a coronavirus summit. "Hopefully, the next administration will be the Trump administration."

Unlike past presidents, Trump has refused to formally concede. That's something that two-thirds of Americans think he should do, according to the survey. Sixty-two percent of Republicans, however, don't think he should.

While he may not be acknowledging his loss publicly, behind the scenes, Trump has been discussing the possibility of running again in 2024, sources tell NPR.

A strong majority of Americans — 60% — don't want him to run again, but two-thirds of Republicans do. That effectively freezes the potential 2024 Republican primary field.

As far as Biden goes, most Americans (56%) so far approve of how he's handling himself during the transition. That's more than the 49% that approved of the job Trump was doing during the 2016 transition.

What's more, by a 59%-to-35% margin Americans think Biden will do more to unite than divide the country. That's far higher than the 43%-to-53% margin for whether Trump in 2016 would do more to unite than divide.

"There's not going to be a honeymoon from olden politics days, but there does appear to be some room with people willing to give [Biden] a chance," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll.

The impact of the coronavirus

One of the measures of Biden's presidency will be how he handles the coronavirus crisis. Americans appear to have confidence in the president-elect's ability to handle the pandemic — 62% said they were either confident or very confident.

But in his first year specifically, Biden is going to be judged on how vaccines are distributed and whether they are administered. Sixty-one percent of Americans now say they will take a vaccine when one comes available, up from just 49% in September.

The movement, though, comes mostly from increases with Democrats and independents.

The number of Republicans who said they will increased as well, but they remain largely split. That skepticism, however, is driven by Republican women. Just 34% of Republican women say they would take a vaccine when it comes available, compared with 61% of Republican men.

Also among the most reluctant to get the vaccine: Trump supporters (only 47% said they would), people who live in rural areas (51%), people without college degrees (53%), white evangelical Christians (54%) and non-whites (58%).

The coronavirus has affected a broad swath of Americans. About two-thirds said they or someone they know has gotten COVID-19. Forty percent said they or someone in their household has lost a job or income due to the coronavirus. Younger Americans and Americans of color are more likely to have been affected.

Saw a good nick name for republicans, the Combover Whigs.

Whigs they will be, even if it takes a decade, just win until then and pull out all the stops to do so, this ain't yer daddy's politics, in fact its social warfare and votes are the bullets. The changing demographics and new generations of voters will put an end to them, but don't wait, or depend on it happening, make it happen. Fight for the truth to be taught in schools, history is written by historians and it is an academic field, they will want to rewrite history, if only to hide their shame. Seal their fate with the next generations and largely liberal female high school teacher will do it, with your support. Run for a school board slot near you, education is local and so is politics. If the school board doesn't like the text book, there are online sources and videos that can be assigned and reports written about them.
