Consider Georgia a Trump win

According to a local Atlanta TV station source, 18,008 military/overseas ballots have been accepted in Georgia. He stated that there were another 8,410 possibly "still available to be received" as of Nov. 6th (the deadline for acceptance).  Assuming all these military/civilian employees filed changes of address as being temporarily away. but still residents of GA, now what you have is ALL votes certified with 6,107 citizen soldiers who chose not to return their ballots or they did not arrive on time and cannot be counted.  That is not even considering that some of those that moved, were NOT soldiers, but were simply relocated temporarily due to their jobs and other reasons and were/are still permanent residents of GA.  As you know (I'm sure), just because you move temporarily, it doesn't mean you give up your residency or right to vote.

According to reporting from WSB-TV Atlanta, lawyers for Trump have filed a 104 page civil suit asking that Georgia throw out the results of the election (decertify) because of massive voter fraud, multiple violations of Georgia law and multiple Constitutional violations.  It specifically names Gov. Kemp and SoS Raffensperger and several other elections officials.

In the lawsuit, which was obtained by Channel 2 Action News on Friday, lawyers for President Donald Trump claim that there was widespread voter and ballot fraud, that voting machines were rigged to change votes from Trump to Biden and that workers at State Farm Arena were left alone with ballots after midnight on Election Day among several other claims.

Even better, Trump is coming down on Dec. 5 to promote David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in their Senate run off elections.  Should be quite the Republican family gathering.

I'm with you on that, Steve.  Until the Democrats stop finding reason not to push back to the full extent of their ability, they are getting no respect and making no headway.  If I were them, I'd use every lawful way in my power to make this last 58 days of Trumpian rulership the most difficult possible even for his appointees/designees who are following his lead.  The Democrats should understand by now that they are NOT going to get any credit for bipartisan efforts nor are they seen as any more "responsible" in governing by trying to follow the "norms".

Trump and his henchmen are looking at the weakest link in every avenue they can go down.  They figure if they can get a toehold ANYWHERE, they can use it to put their foot in the door and keep it from slamming shut.

There are 65 days left and I would warn everyone that if they think Trump is walking away peacefully consider carefully that Neville Chamberlain thought he had achieved a peace with Germany.  They were in the Sudetenland in less than 2 weeks.  Just like he has all his life, Trump is just delaying until he comes up with his next con.  This situation is not going to end well for any of us.  Trump will not quit as long as he has the seemingly mindless zombies following him.  They are and will be whipped up into a frenzy to defend their messiah and he will watch them either be destroyed or destroy this nation.  Regardless of the outcome he will blame it on anyone but himself and still try to walk off into the sunset as the victor.

I too, being a Georgian, hold out hope for the Senate seats, but it is dim.  I interact with the populace enough to know that they are seriously deluded.  I honestly cannot understand my neighbors any longer.  When you put one Democrat against one Republican in an election the result is almost a slam dunk.  With ALL eyes and money on the Senate seats, the Republicans will in most counties absolutely devour the Democrat by a 60-40 margin or higher.  Both Republicans are airing their same old tired, "too liberal", "communist", "socialist" ads against their Democratic opponents.  Neither have aired a single ad on a positive note about what they have or will accomplish if elected.  They are depending on the extra help from outside of Georgia in surpressing the number of voters in Democratic strongholds (the few there are), and their outright control of many of the 159 counties.   The only hope will be for a vigorous monitoring by the Jimmy Carter election group and a large turnout in all the metropolitan areas.

Micah, I have only dabbled with photography and bought and sold vintage cameras, but I think the difference in plain terms is that a "press" film holder holds uncut (a roll) of film and the film is used by advancing from one section to another until you reach the end of the roll.  A "duplex" holder holds a cut sheet of film which has a positioning cut so you know which way to insert it into the camera and you have to put film into the holder for each photo.  This type is generally used for medium and large format pictures as opposed to 8mm, 16mm, or 35mm types.

And sure enough, Don't tell Trump U. Grad Wheeler but Trump's Election Defense Fund is  another grift, bilking innocent people to pay off his election debts. 60% of the donations supposedly going to fight the election results are really going to pay off his exorbitant campaign debts.

Kirk, if I were a betting man, I'd say probably more like 10%-20% are going to pay off legitimate campaign debts (it may be less).  The rest is lining either Donald's, Jared's, Ivanka's, Eric's, Donald Jr.'s, etc pockets or those of some of his other minions who now see the end of the official gravy train.

I think Biden should offer Trump a get out of jail free card  - future pardon - and an IRS deal in return for Trump behaving himself, accepting defeat graciously, agreeing never to run for office again.

Paul, I had thoughts somewhat along the same line.  I think he should give him a free trip anywhere in the world (but it has to be a one way ticket).  On the back of the ticket it should give sage advice - "Pick any country, but be careful to pick one with a non extradition treaty!  For what he has put the sane people of this country through for 4 years, he doesn't deserve any better deal and even this one would be last on my list.  I would love to see him and some of his family & friends modeling orange jump suits.

I hope I am just paranoid over the events of the last 4 years, but I am seeing ominous signs about the voting certification in my lovely home state of Georgia.  It appears the Sherrif (Sec. of State Raffensperger) is leaving town right before the big showdown.  His wife has contracted COVID-19 and he is "quarantining".  I may be reading way too much into it, but machinations may be at work to upset the apple cart, so to speak.  We shall see if it's as bad as it looks for those of us who still hope to live in an open and democratic society.  We have 69 days and some few hours yet to go before we will know if our hopes will live on or be quashed by the fascists who "think" they are patriots.

Perhaps a better way to look at this train/no train situation is to re-examine what the Dallas Police Officers involved said.  They would be probably be accounted as expert witnesses in court.  There were 5 policemen, as far as I know, that made statements on what happened in and near the railroad yards concerning trains.  These are:

1.     Sargent D. V. Harkness

2.     Officer Earle Brown

3.     Officer James Lomax

4.     Officer J. W. Foster

5.     Officer J. C. White

First off, is the easiest to discuss Officer James Lomax.  Staff interview of James A. Lomax, Nov. 17, 1979, House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Doc. No. 014352). 

Here, he essentially said nothing.  He didn’t see anything or was told anything by his partner on the Stemmons Freeway Railroad Overpass, Officer Earle Brown.  Officer Earle Brown on the other hand had interesting information to detail.

Testimony of Earle V. Brown, Apr. 7, 1964, 5 Warren Report Hearings, p. 231:

Mr. BALL. On November , 1964, were you assigned to a certain post on duty?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. BROWN. That would be the railroad overpass over Stemmons Expressway service road.
….

Mr. BROWN. There's one there, too, but that overpass is actually a road. Where I was was the railroad overpass.
Mr. BALL. The railroad overpass Itself?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. How far were you from the place where the continuation of Elm goes under the overpass?
Mr. BROWN. Oh, approximately 100 yards.
….

Mr. BALL. Was there another patrolman on the overpass also?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir; James Lomax.
Mr. BALL. Now, this Is the place where the railroad yards run over the highway?
Mr. BROWN. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And you are on the Stemmons Freeway end of It?
Mr. BROWN. That's right; In other words, Stemmons Freeway and the service road both go under the underpass.
….

Mr. BALL. Everything was in clear view?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. I withdraw the question. Was there any obstruction of your vision to the railroad yards?
Mr. BROWN. Yes.
Mr. BALL. What?
Mr. BROWN. Not the direction of the railroad yard, but at ground level we didn't have very good view. Mr. Lomax and I remarked that we didn't have a very good view.
Mr. BALL. Was that because of the moving trains?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's motorcade come on to Houston Street from Elm; were you able to see that?
Mr. BROWN. Now they came down Main, didn't they, to Houston?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. BROWN. No. sir; actually, the first I noticed the car was when it stopped.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. BROWN. After it made the turn and when the shots were fired, it stopped.
Mr. BALL. Did It come to a. complete stop?
Mr. BROWN. That, I couldn't swear to.
Mr. BALL. It appeared to be slowed down some?
Mr. BROWN. Yes; slowed down.
Mr. BALL. Did you hear the shots?
Mr. BROWN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. How many?
Mr. BROWN. Three.

The important parts of Officer Brown’s testimony are emboldened.  He was on the Stemmons Freeway Railroad Overpass with Officer Lomax.  This was about 100 yards from the Triple Underpass.  He said he had problems seeing due to moving trains.  The reason they were on the overpass was they did not have a good view from the ground.

The president was attacked in the Elm and Houston intersection after they made the turn.  He at first says that the p. limo stopped but later says just slowed down.  There were 3 shots.

The Testimony of J.W. Foster was taken at 1:30 a.m., on April 9, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Joseph A. Ball, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.

Mr. BALL - Tell me where you were standing on the triple overpass about the time that the President's motorcade came into sight?
Mr. FOSTER - I was standing approximately along the - I believe the south curb of Elm Street.
Mr. BALL - Were you on the overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir; at the east - be the east side of the overpass.
Mr. BALL - On the east side of the overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Then was there another officer assigned to that same position?
Mr. FOSTER - He was assigned to the overpass with me; yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - What is his name?
Mr. FOSTER - J.C. White.
Mr. BALL - Where was he?
Mr. FOSTER - He was on the west side of the overpass.
….

Mr. BALL - Now, you had instructions to keep all unauthorized personnel off of that overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Did you do that?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Did you permit some people to be there?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Who?
Mr. FOSTER - People that were working for the railroad there.
Mr. BALL - Were there many people?
Mr. FOSTER - About 10 or 11.
Mr. BALL - Where were they standing?
Mr. FOSTER - They were standing along the east banister.
Mr. BALL - The east banister?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir; in front of me.
….

Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Was any shot fired from the overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - No, sir.
Mr. BALL - Did you see anyone with a weapon there?
Mr. FOSTER - No, sir.
Mr. BALL - Or did you here any sound that appeared to come from the overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - No, sir.

….

Mr. BALL - Had you seen anybody over at the railroad yard north and west of the bookstore before you heard the shots fired?
Mr. FOSTER - No; other than people that had come up there and I sent them back down the roadway.
Mr. BALL - I see. People had attempted to get on the overpass there?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - And you had sent them away?
Mr. FOSTER - yes, sir.  

….

Mr. BALL - Than you. One moment please. Who gave you your assignment, Mr. Foster?
Mr. FOSTER - Sergeant Harkness.
Mr. BALL - You did permit some railroad employees to remain on the overpass?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - How did you determine they were railroad employees?
Mr. FOSTER - By identification they had with them. Identification they had and the other men that was with them verifying that they were employees.

….

Mr. BALL - Who was that sergeant?
Mr. FOSTER - Sergeant came up there.
Mr. BALL - Did you search the railroad cars?
Mr. FOSTER - No; he sent me back down to the inspector. Told me to report back to Inspector Sawyer.
 

Here, Officer Foster has a credibility problem in two regards.  First he said there was not a train on the tracks which contradicts partner, Officer J. C. White.  But, just above he says there were railroad cars in the vicinity.  The Sargent who came up was more than likely Sargent D. V. Harkness.

Also, I believe he later repudiated that statement and said there was a train there.  However, I have not been able to find this on the internet or in my notes. 

Secondly, his location is not correct.  Altgens 7 shows Foster and the railroad men on the TU as he testified here.  But, at least 8 photos or film frames show this to be wrong.  Here is an example of two from the Robert Hughes Film and the Patsy Paschall Film:

As far as trains go the TU bridge is wide and not all trains would be seen and the railroad yards is also large enough to conceal trains from the photographers photos as we will see as we go along.

The testimony of J.C. White was taken at 11:45 a.m., on April 9, 1964; In the office of the U.S. attorney, 801 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Joseph A. Ball, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
…. 

Mr. BALL. How many people were on that overpass that day?
Mr. WHITE. On the same side I was on?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. WHITE. None.
Mr. BALL. None? Any people attempt to come up on the overpass around noon?
Mr. WHITE. Not on my side.
Mr. BALL. They did not?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Had you seen your partner send any people away from the overpass?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. You had certain instructions, didn't you?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What were they?
Mr. WHITE. Not to let any unauthorized personnel on top of the overpass.
….

Mr. BALL. Now, you did permit some people to stay on the overpass, didn't you?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Who were they?
Mr. WHITE. Workers of the railroad company.
Mr. BALL. Were they people you knew?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Well, how did you know they were workers with the railroad company?
Mr. WHITE. Majority of them were there when we got there, working on the rails.
Mr. BALL. And you let them stay there?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
….

Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's car come into sight?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir; first time I saw it it has passed, passed under the triple underpass.
Mr. BALL. You were too far away to see it, were you?
Mr. WHITE. There was a freight train traveling. There was a train passing between the location I was standing and the area from which the procession was traveling, and-a big long freight train, and I did not see it.
Mr. BALL. You didn't see the procession?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.
….

 Mr. BALL. First time you saw the President's car it was going underneath?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What did you do after that?
Mr. WHITE. As soon as the train passed I went over and on the northwest side of the Depository Building. On the northwest side of the book store up there with the rest of the officers and after about 30 minutes they told me to go out and work traffic at Main and Houston, and I stood out there and worked traffic.
Mr. BALL. All right, now, you heard no sound of no rifle fire or anything?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.

This policeman’s testimony clearly indicates a train was on the railroad track during the assassination.  The other Officer present on the Triple Underpass was J. W. Foster.

The testimony of D. V. Harkness was taken at 11:30 a.m., on April 9, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. David W. Belin, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.

….

Mr. HARKNESS - I went back to the front, and Inspector Sawyer---helped get the crowd back first, and then Inspector Sawyer assigned me to some freight cars that were leaving out of the yard, to go down and search all freight cars that were leaving the yard.
Mr. BELIN - Then what did you do?
Mr. HARKNESS - Well, we got a long freight that was in there, and we pulled some people off of there and took them to the station.
Mr. BELIN - You mean some transients?
Mr. HARKNESS - Tramps and hoboes.
Mr. BELIN - That were on the freight car?
Mr. HARKNESS - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Then what did you do?
Mr. HARKNESS - That was all my assignment, because they shook two long freights down that were leaving, to my knowledge, in all the area there.
We had several officers working in that area.
Mr. BELIN - Do you know whether or not anyone found any suspicious people of any kind or nature down there in the railroad yard
Mr. HARKNESS - Yes, sir. We made some arrests, I put some people in.
Mr. BELIN - Were these what you call hoboes or tramps?
Mr. HARKNESS - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Were all those questioned?
Mr. HARKNESS - Yes, sir; they were taken to the station and questioned.

Sargent Harkness saw at least two long freight trains in the railroad yards after the assassination.  From one of these trains tramps or hoboes were removed and taken in for questioning.

 Conclusions:  There were trains in the railroad yards that were not photographed by photographers.  There were at least two trains about to leave Dallas about an hour after the assassination.  Tramps or hoboes were taken from one and taken in for questioning.

Supposition:  There was an incoming train from the south coming into Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination.  This is the long slow train mentioned by Officer White.  It could possibly be the source for the shot in the windshield at Z 160 as it passed behind the South Knoll.

 Railroad yards are for assembling and dismantling trains for reassignment elsewhere.  There was enough time to dissemble and then resemble this train into two trains readying to leave Dallas. 

John, this post got my attention due to the conclusions you're drawing.  You might want to review Officer Earle Brown's actual testimony (in full) rather than the selective quotes.  I tried to use your post to figure out where he says he was by using Google Earth and Google Maps.  It makes no sense and cannot be plotted.  I then went to the John F. Kennedy Assassination Homepage and looked up his actual testimony (Vol VI-pages 232-236) and saw how his testimony was totally and purposely confused by Mr. Ball in another Warren Omission harangue.  When you look at his full testimony it is still problematic, but a few things stand out.

1.  He was NOT on the triple underpass, he was at least 100 yards away from it on the overpass at Stemmons Freeway and Stemmons Freeway Service Rd. 

Mr. Ball. Where were you?

Mr. Brown. On this overpass here this TP Railroad overpass.

Mr. Ball. The overpass that runs in an east and west direction?

Mr. Brown. Right-yes, sir

Mr. Ball. Mr. Brown, I have had a map made here which I would like to have you inspect here. The railroad overpass is shown---that runs in a north and south direction?

Mr. Brown. Yes.

Mr. BALL. And Stemmons Freeway overpass is shown---that runs north and south, doesn't it?

Mr. Brown. Right.

Mr. Ball. Were you on either one of those overpasses?

Mr. Brown. Either one of those two there?

Mr. Ball. Yes.

Mr. Brown. No, sir.

Mr. Ball.  Where were you?

Mr. Brown. On this overpass here this TP Railroad overpass.

Mr. Ball. The overpass that runs in an east and west direction?

Mr. Brown. Right-yes, sir.

To further cement his position he says this when asked about the pigeons he saw fly up after the shots>

Mr. Ball. Where was it you saw the pigeons rise?
Mr. BROWN. They must have been down there feeding at that time because they just seemed to all take off.

Mr. Ball. Where were they from where you were standing?

Mr. BROWN. From where I was standing they would be about half way between---no, they would be up more toward that other overpass, what they call the triple underpass.

Mr. Ball. The triple underpass?

Mr. Brown. Yes.

Mr. Ball. You were about 100 yards from the triple underpass?

Mr. Brown. Approximately; yes.

The only thing I will say about his measurements is that they are very underestimated.  I used the measure tool on Google Maps/Earth and found that position to be around 200 yards from the TUP where Elm comes under.  This position is however, VERY consistent with all his testimony if you read it.  I would post a drawing or map, but can't seem to find one to work with yet.  In the Warren Commission there is supposedly one published as "Brown Exhibit A", but I have not found it either.  I would guess it shows him on the TUP instead of the farther away location over the Stemmons Freeway further west.

I think the Trump fascists/(Republicans?) have corrupted and adopted one of the founding fathers quotations.  Benjamin Franklin's, "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."  I know that in today's environment, there won't be actual hangings (unless the fascists win - then I'm not sure).  I truly do believe there MUST be some sort of price paid by these people or we have NO hope of continuing this Democratic-Republic experiment with all it's inherent failings.  For this country to survive, we are going to nee someone with the wisdom of Solomon to step forward and mete out true justice.  For once, I will interject my own (what most call religious beliefs) - I think GOD has already judged the US (both political side) and found us wanting.  Whether we continue on or pass into obscurity is still to be determined.  We will know in less than 70 days which path we're on.  The next revolution, which the founding fathers anticipated if this system became repressive, may be on its way.

R. W.

Wolf!  Wolf!  Wolf!

Nothing to see here.  The Washington Post just reported:

Well, down here in Georgia's idiotic TrumpWorld it appears there is no cure for the delusions these Republicans are suffering.  The two US Senators who are facing runoffs have asked for the Secretary of State to resign.  Even with the small (10,000 or so) margin that Biden is winning, the SoS says every report of voter fraud is/has been investigated and there is pretty much NO way enough votes would be affected to change the outcome.  He also explained that the President got more votes than any Republican Presidential candidate ever and that Perdue got even more votes than the President and is STILL in a runoff.  Georgia's two Senators are prime exemplars of Trump's enablers.  When things don't go the way they want or expect, whine, cry foul, and make baseless claims.  Worse than a couple of spoiled 5 year olds.  I wasn't sure, but in the same article, it stated that Federal law allowed one to register to vote before a runoff election even if you didn't vote in the general election.  I'm going to try and make sure every Democratic leaning person I know, knows this and registers.  Maybe we can still elect two Democratic Senators in GA!

Honestly, I'm almost bored of Joe Biden already. He'll talk about unity. I don't expect him to say anything he hasn't been saying..

But that's ok, I'm not so empty that I expect a promotional seminar everyday, telling me what to think,  who to love and who to hate, like I have everyday the last 4 years! It's been like a campaign year EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS!!!

But even then, so much of it was  publicly so stupid, just designed to relieve some  perpetual desperate boredom factor.

I'm more self sufficient, and for the whole of my life, I've  got along quite well without depending on a fix from some  politician every day. Thank You!

 

I'm with you, Kirk.  We all know Biden/Harris will be conciliatory and ask for closure around our shared values.  We won't have to watch/listen to someone running for re-election starting Jan. 21, 2021.  We won't have to watch as the most powerful person in the  world (purportedly) demeans and vilifies those who attempt to follow the law and the norms of government service without paying homage to the "King".  I truly do hope that for the sake of the future, Biden and the Democrats do seek to use the legal system to extract some measure of justice against those who have abused the systems of government they were charged with directing.  If no punishment is sought or brought about, these people and others of the same ilk will be back at it and with even more fervor almost immediately.  It will be a fine line since in our system, the losing party is generally not prosecuted.  In normal times this would only mean they be removed from power and influence, but under Trump, things went WAY BEYOND the norm all the way up to actual criminal activity which needs to be addressed.

1/5/21 Georgia can take the Senate away from Mitch McConnell and make Stacey Abrams the fresh national face of the Democratic Party.

I think Georgia will need a BIG turnout of Democrats and a lack of enthusiasm from Republicans in order to win both Senate seats, but it's possible.  Ossoff is a very competent candidate and Warnock is like a breath of fresh air (at least in the ads he has put out).  He seems very personable, persuasive and has positive (and specific ideas).  Let's hope for the best and maybe for the 1st time in 20 years GA will have elected Democrat or TWO in a statewide election with the added benefit of flipping the Senate.  That would truly be a positive start to 2021, although the majority (in GA) would feel that the sky was falling.

We have been through pure de poo and then you come on here with I don't know what the hell going on about somethin'  Hopefully, this is a light at the end of a tunnel for us , and it burns a helluva lot brighter than what we've been through. I want some damn peace and quiet, and  that COVID is addressed, PPE is manufactured, children are reunited with their parents, Natl Parks and Indian lands are not longer breached for corporate gain., stimulus is addressed., and Reality Winner is freed. And maybe Vindman, Yates, etc. will get some sort of apology instead of being talked down by some snots Republican Congressman. (Thank God Doug Collins is gone) I've never seen so many woosies in my life as the spines of foam Republican congress. 

I am sick to death of trump's actions on the national stage too. This will not go away tomorrow, but Biden is exactly the kind of person who could mend fences. Whether you like him or not, i don't have a care.  Many Senators really like him. He's a good man.

 

 

Thank you Kathy, for the sentiment you expressed.  I don't know how it is in your state, but I'm here in Georgia and in a totally deluded Republican county where Doug Collins and many others like him are thought of as "fine upstanding individuals".  We have at least experienced a great awakening on the Presidential election, but I fear it is only because of how far into the looney bin Trump was/is.  When the Senatorial runoffs occur, the Democrats will be swamped by the 60% or more mindless "party liners" who back anyone with an (R) next to their name regardless of morals, intellect or ability.  I do think we have an outside chance with Rev. Warnock to defeat Loeffler.  I'm afraid the die has been cast with John Ossoff.  David Perdue ONLY profited from his position, can't pronounce his fellow Senator Kamala Harris' name and doesn't care about people who get COVID-19 or lose their medical insurance, which is no big deal to a good many of my fellow citizens.

Don't forget, it ain't over til the fat lady sings.  The actual votes are cast in December.  That's a lot of time for a corrupt regime to find and corrupt 1 or more delegates (aka unfaithful delegate).  Trump has his life at stake, I don't think he will stop at anything.  After all, if he gets into the office again, he can subvert the law to make sure there is no investigation or punishment for any criminal act for those willing to give their soul to him.

I only pray I am wrong.  If I am not, we have seen the end of the "great experiment" and no longer have even the appearance of a democratic republic.

On a slightly related note, down here in Georgia there was a scheduled debate between our Senator David Perdue and a Democratic challenger, David Ossoff.  At the last minute, Perdue has cancelled trying to use the debate to get his ideas across and swaying citizens from voting for the "Socialist" Democrat.  He is instead appearing with "Dear Leader" to again mispronounce Kamala Harris' name to the adoring fans whose vote he already has, and who don't care that he has lined his pockets the same as most Trump lackeys.

On a hopeful note, I did just see that Trump has cancelled his appearance at a post election victory party.  I only hope he doesn't use his free time to plot more abuse of power.

“As Trump’s re-election is looking more remote and his legal and financial predicaments are looming large and threatening to destroy him, I am left fearing how he might react to defeat. Being so desperate and vindictive, he is capable of extreme destructiveness, not just of our democracy and its governmental agencies, but as Commander-in-Chief much worse. This is the reason I am putting out an analysis that was done over 30 years ago, which resonates as uncannily accurate today. I can only hope that the danger we face is clearly understood, so we are prepared to fight for our country and our very lives.”

Steve, I share the sentiment.  I feel that when Trump loses, he will attempt to destroy anything and everything/everyone that has any possibility of holding him accountable.  This includes the entire government, any and all people he feels didn't bow down sufficiently.  This is why, I hope, there will be no "deals" made to not prosecute him upon departure (willingly or not).  If he is allowed to escape accountability, we as a whole will pay the price, and it will be steep.  It is only my opinion, but with the corruption he has accomplished thus far, he already deserves to be branded as a traitor and charged with treason.  If he is allowed to perpetrate further damage on our system by the circle of political enablers, there will be no succession of government - only revolution.  In closing:

I haven't studied the audio/dictabelt information before.  Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the information presented, but to me it would seem the speeds and location of the "open mike" would indicate that it was one of the outrider motorcycles or a vehicle near them as opposed to the one being proposed.  The speed decrease certainly (to me at least) seem to indicate those associated with the turn onto Elm and the continuing slower speed down Elm.  There are at least seven possibilities for the "open mike" in my mind.  There are four motorcycles, the Presidential limo, the SS backup car and the VP limo (as it has been stated by some, that LBJ was listening to some sort of radio).  This actually could be construed as eight since there may have been a radio in the front of the VP vehicle as well.

I just saw on CNN, Melania is skipping the Trump rally on Tuesday.  I wonder if she's next on the "trashing" list for the Pres.  I'm pretty sure he will make no comment on it as she says it has to do with her continuing recovery from COVID (plus he's scared of her)!

On the contrary.  The delusional people are the ones who still believe the Warren Commission Report.

Well said and at least from my perspective, very true.  Those who do not ask questions and expect rational truthful answers are easily deluded.
