How Do We Know When We've Won or Lost?
Submitted by fire with fire on Mon, 08/17/2020 - 12:45pmI will never forget the first week of this War Against the Invisible Enemy. On March 10, during a nationally televised basketball game, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver ordered the end of all NBA games, effective at the final buzzer. Two days later, before Trump declared a National Emergency, toilet paper disappeared from grocery stores and hoarding turned shopping into a Third World dystopian ordeal. At that point, there was no governmental order -- just panic.
Shadowgate
Submitted by Blue Republic on Mon, 08/17/2020 - 9:22amOK.
Let's think back to the biggest whistleblower events, the most shocking revelations.
Like when one of the CIA's gun running planes crashed and an American crew member captured by the Sandinistas - opening the whole Iran-Contra scandal. Like the Manning/Wikileaks disclosures. Like Snowden. Like Watergate. Like the Pentagon Papers.
Shadowgate is that big. Or bigger.

Trump IS Obama's Legacy
Submitted by snoopydawg on Sun, 08/16/2020 - 12:08pmThis is the best explanation for why Trump was elected over Hillary. It all comes back to Obama's failed legacy. It would be one thing if the GOP did block his legislation, but he and the democrats had a filibuster proof majority for many months and they squandered it. Why this is relevant today is because once again democrats are running a candidate with an abhorrent history of bad policies that Trump can use again and run to the left of them. And once again millions of people are hurting and even worse than during Obama's tenure and Joe Biden is telling us that no he will not lift a finger to help us. Well then why in hell should I or any democrat vote for him? Is he campaigning on rolling back the destructive things that Trump has done? Not to my knowledge. So then will he be the democratic hat trick and once in office pass the legislation that Trump wasn't able to like Clinton and Obama did for their predecessors and once again being the GREATER EVIL?
