I’m in the Ben Shapiro camp on this one. Was there some fraud? You bet. Enough to change the results? Nope. The bitter pill is that Biden simply won because more people wanted him to be president than they wanted Donald Trump. I think the real hardcore Trumpers (no, no one here is one of them) are in total denial. Like a person who has been divorced five times but still can’t fathom that maybe-just maybe-they might be to blame.

You would be right! Lol!

I misunderstood and thought we were talking about West Side Story, not In the Heights. My mistake. I DO think WSS is on the same level as Oz, I do not think In The Heights (though itself a good musical!) is.

There’s another possibility too. Maybe more people honestly think democrats are a better option than republicans this cycle. No grand conspiracy, no massive fraud. Simply put, the republicans just lost. It’s life, especially in politics. Your side will lose, and no, there was no widespread fraud. Strike three happened and the umpire isn’t giving you a fourth. People talking about fraud remind me a bit of owners of a failed restaurant blaming everything but themselves for the failure of the restaurant. Well, maybe the food just wasn’t good?

That's surprising to me-I thought the musical was very well known. Oh well.

I think almost everyone in the country has at least heard of the original. It’s like the Wizard of Oz. Part of pop culture

I think people of all sides would agree with you-it’s just that all of us differ vastly on what “disinformation” is.

I think the author’s other book “Into Thin Air” is one of the greatest adventure books ever written. I read Banner when it came out, thought it was interesting, and moved on. I wasn’t aware there was a movie based on it?

Even if it was possible to find these people, who would take the job? The moment you report something-anything-you’ll have people jumping up and down screaming about “fake news”.

Happy weekend everyone!

Lol! That’s awesome.

It might just be a personality thing. But… Who is the loudest, silliest and happiest character in maybe all of Narnia? Right, Lucy. Who is closest to Aslan, and who is the first to meet him out of the Pevensie children each time He shows up in Narnia? Right, Lucy.

I bought some ROOT beer for missionaries once. A man with some slight cognitive disabilities (not an insult, he was developmentally disabled) saw it said “He’s giving them BEER!!!” I was mortified but looking back it was really funny. happened in the hallways, outside of sacrament meeting

To me, that’s the biggest sign that the GOP has gone nuts. She had a 90% something rating from the American Conservative Union. She ain’t Susan Collins or Lincoln Chaffee. But the Trumpers still wanted her dismissed because she didn’t bow to the supreme commander. Complete madness.

All good points.

Yes….and no. He’s called the “teflon Don” for a reason @Godless. Also, if his followers really turned on him over those issues than maybe they aren’t as cult like as you and I think they are-and yes, I do think Trumpers are members of a cult. That’s where we differ. Like I’ve mentioned on many other issues, time will tell.

You should, but for different reasons. Trumpers demand loyalty to “their guy”, not conservatism. They leave the GOP in a heartbeat if their master tells them too. Now the bad news: a civil war is happening on your side too, between AOC and the old line democrats. It’ll be just as damaging to your side as the GOP war is to the GOP

Same down here as well. Democrats in Florida simply don’t know what to do about it.

The irony here is that I vote the opposite way for the same reasons!

Keep us updated please. Glad chemo has been working.

Right, so do many republicans. The bitter pill that political junkies can have a hard time swallowing is that someone can have drastically different politics than our own and still be a moral, intelligent and thinking person.

Simply put-they agree with their platform and disagree with the republicans. There. That easy. It’s no grand conspiracy, they aren’t bad people. It’s just a matter of agreeing with their platform more than others.

Oh okay. My bad. :: walking away ::

…is that no matter how insane it is, someone will believe it. A professor in college said “I can come up with a theory that says we were all created five minutes ago with wrinkles on our faces, food in our stomachs from meals that never happened and memories of events that never took place. And people would believe it too.” He was, sadly, 100% correct. One of my many, many issues with 95% of conspiracies is that the believers fail to comprehend the basics of critical thinking. “What? There is no evidence that JFK was killed by Lyndon Johnson? Well, that just shows how deep the conspiracy is.” No matter how crazy the conspiracy is, the believers always claim to know the “real truth”. Heck, if the people behind the conspiracy were that good, you’d think they would cover it up better. But I digress.  The truth is that I shot JFK. Even though it happened decades before I was born. The lack of evidence just shows how deep the cover up is. I was also in special forces. Seal team four. What? I have no proof for my absurd claims? Oh because that’s classified. And besides, it was Seal Team two. 😉

Well, they are replacing a liberal with a liberal. So let’s see where it goes. Will she be a moderate liberal like Kagan or someone way out there like Sotomayor?
