Compared to the election of 1876, 2020 was a picture of decorum and civility - to include 06 January. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BSBD, Winsor Compared to the Battle of Hastings the Capitol Insurrection isn't worthy of attention. You make a pointless point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the preview it seems like their central claim is that they used cellphone records to track one specific "mule" who stuffed ballot boxes. So either: 1) D'Souza admits that the available cellphone data only provides aggregate data, and cannot track any one individual - and thus his claims are bogus. 2) D'Souza ends up in jail for illegal wiretapping.

Yup. So far, despite a LOT of investigating, the only 'tampering' or 'fraud' that's come to light is that done by Trump's stooges trying to prove election fraud. Or trying to steal the election.

JerryBaumchen 1,048 #22 February 8, 2022 (edited) Hi folks, As a number of us seem to think that this country is headed for a socialist state; I would ask: What other country in the world would you want to go to start a new company? IMO there is no other country in which the entrepreneur possibilities are better. Jerry Baumchen PS) OK, my bad. This belongs in the Socialism v Capitalism thread. Some how, I thought I was there.

I've started, grown and sold companies in 2 countries (neither of which is the US). Hi Stumpy, First, I never said that you cannot be successful in another country. My thinking is that mostly, because this country has laws and talent to truly create big, successful businesses. Think of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & the myriad hi-tech/computer companies that have created the richest men ( so far no woman that I know of ) in the world. With the one exception, Carlos Slim in Mexico that was the richest man in the world for a while, a few years ago. Obviously, companies like German-based Volkswagen are very large & very successful. However, I still say that the best odds of being successful in business are having that business right here. And, this country's tax structure seems to support that thinking.
