(Baron is roster exempt)<br /><br />There's great hope for us...We can not afford to screw this up like Obama did. If the alt right was absolutist (deny Obama a second term as their #1 priority) vs. helping people. Obama tried to compromise with these people. It was stupid then and it'll be stupid now if we don't go full nuclear to save this nation from certain destruction in the hands of the alt right.<br /><br />How many secrets were the Chinese and Russians given? Just that alone should be enough to go nuclear. But they tried an f*&^#^ coup! And we want to compromise in good faith with these people????<br /><br />No...Sit down and shut up. Elections have consequences. Remember??? Or are we no longer even holding the alt right to their own words anymore? The alt right burned all bridges and lost that gambit and they are freaked out and want to try it again. Only this time, they will get it right.<br /><br />Naw...Give no quarter. They made the rules, now it's their turn to feel the sharp end of that stick as we have for too long.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9yoi0lRrroSmoothtooperatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901523276177195419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-6286903934549021182021-01-24T12:47:11.020-08:002021-01-24T12:47:11.020-08:00Trump really wanted to be Tony Soprano.

Now I know, they are bad people. I will add that now I also know they are un-American in the most basic way; they do not believe in our Democratic Republic. I was reminded of Eye of Newt Gingrich's off-script comments of years ago stating in essence, that Democrats are illegitimate as leaders of the country, that any election the Democrats win is incorrect and illegitimate. We didn't pay much attention to that little bomb, but it turns out it is the basic operating principle of Republicans. So, we must crush them. We must send them all packing, except those who will support the Constitution.<br /><br />I have a sneaky little suspicion that Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer have some special processes in mind for those in their ranks who voted to suppress the electors votes.

The deficit is too high, etc. Thanks again for keeping this column going and always making it so valuable.
