THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER!

[Grandpappy]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state_in_the_United_States


Former NSA leaker Edward Snowden has used the term generally to refer to the influence of civil servants over elected officials: "the deep state is not just the intelligence agencies, it is really a way of referring to the career bureaucracy of government. These are officials who sit in powerful positions, who don't leave when presidents do, who watch presidents come and go ... they influence policy, they influence presidents."[25]

As of 1/20/21, I'm afraid you'll slowly realize the nightmare has just begun. Trump lost the battle with the deep state (by a tiny fraction) and you Democrats put them back in power. They start wars so their benefactors make money and make decisions based on their own sorry, elitist, greedy asses.
You Bernie/progressives will see their power, they'll never give you a chance to change anything.

I'll just sit back and watch.

“Deep state”, “tiny fraction”, you crack me up!

 

[Jack2aTee]

>>>>>>Why would he do that?

Ummm....because Trump is secretly a Russian asset?

The deep state is just entrenched, non-elected government bureaucracy who feel that the country should be run a certain way, and not necessarily for the benefit of the people. See how simple that was? No crazy conspiracy theory at all. Even you know they exist.

So politics as usual. Got it.

And so many of them work for agencies whose heads the president appoints. Yet he’s helpless. Evil folks like FEMA, the FDA, the Weather Service, etc., dominate him, all spending day and night scheming how to screw the American people.

...and a new nightmare begins: America under the control of Democrats.

Yes, your manner of 'up is down' 'right is left' 'black is white' 'good is bad, bad is good' 'you're guilty of what I do' is over including 'a new nightmare begins', and any other new 1984-esque roadviruses you can concoct.

The nightmare is not over.

He still has power, he's still pushing falsities that could incite violence, there is still so much damage he can do.

On top of that the world is continuing to march into darkness and the virus still plagues us.

The nightmare is not over, Trumps defeat is a reprieve.

True and I share you concerns, but his power just became far more limited, the proof of that is how the GOP is now shunning him. Politicians like Winners, not Losers.

People don't come to you for pep talks, is my guess.

Yeah, it'll be awful. If a disaster strikes Tennessee Biden won't try to withhold aid just because the state is red.

You've never had a President that was deliberately put in office just to troll you, so you have no perspective.

The Trump drunken sailor party boat hits the Biden land mine and is going down by the head.

lol.

You certainly got me there man, but after the last 4 years can you blame.

You were right, I was wrong, I lost hope, I lost heart.

But I have never been happier to be wrong.

Having said that, still have to recognize the world shatteringly large task Biden and the world has before it, to right the ship and beat this virus, won’t be easy.

I believe we can prevent McConnell from being in charge in 2021. All of the manpower and money aimed at multiple swing states will be directly exclusively to turning out voters for the runoff elections in Georgia.

I was pretty bad at phone banking at first, but I started to find my groove near the end, and I look forward to putting in many hours reaching voters in Georgia in the coming months.

If the "deep state" is not a conspiracy theory, then who are the members? How do they communicate the deep state plan and how do they get that info to the president so that it can be implemented? Specifics please.

Thank God for our civil servants. Our senior military leaders, medical experts and intelligence agencies have done more to protect America over the last four years then the Trump supporters will ever admit...

You mean the 1000's of dedicated men and women that as public servants take an oath to uphold our Constitution and the rule of law? They were being replaced by loyalists that had no allegiance to anyone but Trump. In America no individual takes precedence to our country. Leaders come and go. Our nation and our institutions live on forever. I'm surprised you never learned that. It is the basis of all we have done. Mr. one and done was a clear and present danger to that and his removal was imperative to the life of the nation.

The nightmare is over. Trump is toast.

I can't agree more. However, as expected, Trump is acting like a jerk.

The Times reports, "Aides called Mr. Trump to let him know that their predictions over the past several days had come true: Every major news outlet had projected Mr. Biden to be the winner.

"The aides said Mr. Trump had no plans to immediately deliver the kind of concession speech that has become traditional in past presidential elections, and his campaign vowed to continue waging the legal battle across the country. In a statement issued while he was still on the golf course, Mr. Trump said Mr. Biden was trying to “falsely pose” as the winner."

“The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said, “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.”

But that is okay because it no longer matters what Trump says or does.

Trump's followers will never understand those concepts. They only believe their fantasies, much like the head man. Towards the end Trump was lying so much he no longer could understand the difference between reality and fantasy. He began believing his own lies. His followers are much the same way.

Yeah, I don't understand the phenomenon, either.

Can you us us (me) about your phone banking experience? Did you walk in off the street and volunteer, or recruited by a friend? Do you call from home, or another location to keep your number private? Does the Democratic Party (or other organization) suggest/tell you which politician to help, or is it your choice? How long is the script, or how long does it take to read it? Etc., Etc...

Also, how much do they pay?

This nightmare is over. A whole new nightmare is about to begin.

The nightmare is over. Trump is toast.

DJT put out a statement saying 'blah blah dems cheated' blah blah but it's predicated on assumptions, assumptions which have no basis in reality.

Are there anomalies? Sure, all elections, especially considering the size of national elections, have anomalies, have what we could characterize as 'warts'.

What would be unusual is that an election consisting of 144,000,000 votes would NOT have anomalies, for THAT would be an anomaly, unto itself.

But they don't equal 'dems cheating on a massive' or even a small scale. It has never been a thing in past elections, anomalies rarely made the news, but only in this election.

Why ? Because of Trump, he's trying to make hay out of every little damn thing, since he took the office, he's been trying to undermine the integrity of American Democracy.

Why would he do that? It's simple, and his scheme is so obvious, because he thinks that at the nominating convention, he can get electors to pick him. Morons like Mark Levin
are promoting that bogus theory.

Well, there are two salient reasons that that isn't going to happen.

1. When the networks project the president elect, grant the electors at or beyond the 270 threshold, it creates an veritable unstoppable force, i.e., a juggernaut.

2. The scheme that some on the right are floating around, ie., to render electors faithless, to get the electors to thwart the will of the people, this will fail. The reason is that there are two supreme court cases standing in the way: Chiafalo v. Washington and Department of State v. Baca

The people have spoken. It's time for Trump to listen.

I hope you're right; of all the nonsense out there, this is the one I worry about. It sure wouldn't be the first time he's ignored the Constitution and tried plowing ahead. I'm sure it's been explained to him.

No pay. Some operations use a system to disguise your number, others don’t. You can call from wherever, and they give you a script, but I don’t like it because it’s it’s too long so that by the time you get to the meat of the message the person will hang up on you. For example, my last phone banking effort was about ballot curing in Arizona. The introductory script was so long that the voter hung up on me before I could tell him that his ballot was rejected due to a signature mismatch. So I rewrote the script so that the rejected ballot was right at the front of the phone call. I stopped getting hung up on after that.

There will undoubtedly be efforts you can sign up for at Actblue and Votesaveamerica, and yes, you can choose which effort/state/candidate you want to sign up for. and it doesn’t have to be phone banking. It can be poll watching, text banking, voter registration, etc.

The more electors Biden can get, and he's on track to get 306, means that faithless electors will be less of an issue.
