You just gotta laugh

July 23, 2024 by Guest Post

by Ed Sperry, Col USAF (ret) , Stevensville

Our Democratic friends are actually staging a political coup. A coup to undo a democratic and legal process which made Biden their Presidential candidate. Millions of voters chose old sleepy Joe. Now they want to ignore that vote and seek a different candidate. They have all sorts of ideas and I suggest the answer is simple and in keeping with how our President usually works. Just slip him a million or so and he will resign. It’s refreshing to witness their desperate scheming. After all, they constantly preach to us about democracy. If conservatives were up to these shenanigans, the demo left would be going ape.This may all be done by the time this little missive is published. If so, I hope all conservative voters enjoyed the comedy. Talk about reaping what one sows!

    How is a candidate withdrawing from a campaign because they’ve lost the support or their party a “coup”, but trying to violently overturn the results of a free and fair election no big deal?

    BTW, Trump’s speeches are long, rambling, incoherent, fact-free nonsense. If Rs we smart, they’d be trying to convince him to step down. They’re not, so they won’t.

      Biden was given the date of august 19 to resign weeks ago. He was a day late – its was the 15th amendment or resign. that is a coup – just like when the John Birchers took over the GOP central committee last October. Hey – at least can talk for an hour and a half…Biden freezes up …..hahahahahaha. HOWARD you are a gaslighted Democrat.

        Helen, how can you possibly know any of the facts you are claiming? Of course, you can’t. You are not gaslighted. You are simply lying.

      • WMA says

        Helen,
        I hate to state the obvious, but Biden has not resigned. He just dropped his reelection effort. There is a difference. BIG difference.

    I understand the terrible confusion as evidenced in this letter. Republicans cannot possibly understand a presidential candidate making a selfless decision that benefits not himself, but his party and, more importantly, his country. That confusion extends to the coup mentioned. That failed attempt to overthrow our Constitutionally mandated government happened Jan. 6, 2021. Of course it was unsuccessful; Trump organized it.

    Oddly enough, Kamala just raised the largest single day amount of campaign money of all time, over 100 million dollars. It came mainly from first time and small dollar donors. I wouldn’t worry too much about whether democratic voters are feeling as if they’ve been cheated. What you need to worry about is whether your guy, a doddering 78 year old convicted felon, convicted of sexual assault, convicted of defrauding charities, convicted of business fraud and known many time over adulterer will be able to keep up with her. Good luck.

      Sorry Gomez – not it didn’t come from small donors. Last night on Newsman, they showed how that much money was flowing in and it wasn’t from small donors. Go to Newsman and get the story. And BTW – DEMS aren’t supposed to have that much money are they? We hear how picked on they were by TRUMP when the truth is the DEMS like Hamas pick on all – dem and GOP and independents etc.

        Newsmax. Are you joking? You might as well cite Pravda. My wife and I were two of the thousands of small donors.

        Helen. It’s just killing you that suddenly your guy is the weird old fart mumbling incoherently about yesterday, isn’t it?

        We’ll ALL see you in November.

      • Gomez says

        July 26, 2024 at 12:31 PM

        Helen. You know that Newsmax is being sued for lying about the 2020 election, right? Their trial starts in September. Gateway Pundit was also sued for defamation (they lost) and is now in bankruptcy. Fox News paid out a settlement for almost a billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election, and Mike Lindell has been ordered to pay millions for lying about the election and still faces lawsuits from the voting machine companies that he lied about. And who can forget Rudy Giuliani? He has lied and defamed his way right to financial ruin.

        You need to get some better sources, seriously.

          Fox’s settlement was a business decision against a Biden Friendly Judge who would not even allow them to argue (with proof they had) that Dominion had switched votes in favor of Biden. This was the crux of their case, and should have been allowed. Given he Took away most of their defense argument they paid the extortion money and moved on.
          It’s so odd that the same judge is overseeing the Newsmax trial.. So odd.
          But no, our justice system isn’t rigged.
          IF Justice was equally weighted, MSNBC, CNN, et al would be on Trial every month

            The desperation in your frantic excuse making is so obvious to us all. Fox News paid out almost a billion dollars for lying about the election being stolen because they DID lie about the election being stolen, they KNEW that it was a lie, and they KNEW that it would be proven in court. They paid, because they were guilty.

            Again, Fox New, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Newsmax, Gateway Pundit, liars one and all. Stop buying their bullshit, you’re embarrassing yourself.

            Cav,
            I rarely agree with you, but you are correct. FOX’s decision to settle the lawsuit was totally a business decision. They knew if they were forced to reveal all the evidence of their shocking dishonesty related to the 2020 election, the court would hold them liable for much more money.

      It’s called Money Laundering by Act Blue. Or maybe you just believe a women who did not garner ONE delegate during her Primary is all so Popular.
      Better Yet, tell me how My Wife’s Mother donated over 75 times to Kamala’s Campaign? It’s quite the feat considering that she died 8 months ago, yet I looked it up and there it was.

        The convicted sexual assaulter, “I can grab women by the pussy”, “You need to treat women like shit”, “I overturned Roe v Wade” orange igneramoaus has finally met his match. He has pushed women one step too far, and is going to pay in November.

        Post the link, Cav. Trust but verify.

          WMA. The absolute panic that they are displaying is priceless. That said, this thing is far from being over and it’s going to be a fight to the finish.
