On the up side, at least you have someone to share brunch with. When you’re in an empty house like I am, there is no Sunday brunch. I can find no joy lately in cooking for myself, it’s a drag. 😕

Maybe if I were a good cook, like I’m sure you are, my attitude would change. I just find it more convenient to mostly go out for a big meal, all things considered.

Nicely put.  

The problem is that the visceral, unreasoning hatred for Trump the man which I see displayed by Left-leaning friends (and, alas, family)---bolstered by the unending stream of distortions, emendations, and outright lies by the media machine (TV, newspapers, and Big Tech) ensures that even if news of Biden's corruption manages to gain widespread mention, that, like the blatant obviousness of his feeble to faltering mental competence, will in no way alter the minds and voting patterns of people who are committed to voting out Trump on a personal-hatred basis.  Many of the people i have spoken to have long ago rejected the concept of fact in favor of accepting or rejecting news entirely on the basis of whether or not they approve of the source.

Add to that the vote-by-mail and early voting, and the vote-fraud they encourage and enable over and above the normal, routine level of vote fraud that attends every national election,  and I'd say that it is understating the case to say there is reason for concern.

Good, yet unnerving, read. It’s never been more clear to me that the Democrats won’t be satisfied with a mere win for Biden, they are intent on finally purging America of conservatism altogether. Never has there been more at stake for our Democracy and ideals. May heaven help us, Trump absolutely must win.

It wouldn’t be understating the case to say there is reason for panic though. Sorry to say I’m at that point, for all the reasons you mention. The consequences of a Biden win are just unthinkable.

Very good summary. I fear if Biden is elected, eventually, I will have to leave the country, because political correctness and wokeness will be requirements for everything - getting health care, getting Social Security, not having your taxes audited up the wazoo, and I have plenty of published letters to the editor supporting Israel. Those get dug up and I am doomed. 

And Israel won't be getting any US support,  including weapons and ammo, without giving in so far to the "Palestinians" that they will have nothing left to protect. Plus, the Iranian nukes will be paid for by the US.

One consequence will be President Harris. Biden will be found incompetent within 6 months (probably within 3).

Biden is only a figurehead because he is considered electable. The Democrats want to push their far-left agenda but can't get elected with it.

One more thing - when Trump does win, there will be civil war. The forces behind the Democrats are supporting Antifa and other violent groups. Those will be 100% unleashed with the claim Trump stole the election (even if most faked ballots turn out to be Democrat votes). They have already threatened it (see the posts a few days ago).

And I'd probably have to sneak across the border to Canada to get to Israel, and then try to row a boat, because I would have nothing to pay for a trip with or support myself at the other end. 

The complete takeover may take a few years, but things are falling apart faster than I would have thought possible. 

Remember, Obama weaponized the IRS. Harris will do more. Biden will be retired to a basement somewhere.

Nonsense. No one is going to take away your Social Security or prevent you from working. You might not get hired at a woke startup, but that's due to your age and skillset. A Democratic administration is not going to sever relations with Israel or persecute Jews (other than de Blasio and he's on his way out). You sound exactly like the gays who insisted Trump and Pence would put them in concentration camps for conversion therapy. 

Most importantly,  none of those things are going to happen because Trump is going to win. After the last debate, I am sure of it.

Please do. I'm not discounting the possibility that Democrats could win by massive fraud (cf. Pennsylvania), but the votes for them simply aren't there. 

One of the things that seems to be skewing perception is Twitter. 10% of US adults account for 92% of all tweets from US adults (up from 82% last year). Unsurprisingly, 69% of those tweeters lean Democrat. Twitter is now the launching point for untold thousands of news stories in the rest of the media, particularly Trump's tweets and people complaining about them, or biased tweets from various CNN and MSNBC types. It makes the Democrats appear vastly more popular than they really are. I don't want to be overconfident, but I'm not going to worry myself into a tizzy over something that is probably not going to happen.

The leftist democrats already are accusing Jews of dual loyalty. Under Obama, some proposed (and Obama tried) making speech that disagreed with US policies not tax-exempt (look up Z Street vs the IRS)

Jews are not comfortable on college campuses. The Obama administration declared "anti-Zionism" is not antiSemitism, and did nothing to protect Jewish students. Trump IS doing so, but not fast enough (SFSU and NYU at least should have lost all Federal funds including student loans).

I can see leftist Democrats going after those who are pro-Israel, and insisting that government funds (e.g. Social Security) cannot be used for speech that disagrees with government policies - so support Israel, you get no money)

And if they get to pack SCOTUS, that will all be upheld. (And if not, I starve to death or freeze waiting for it to get through the court system)

These are all based on statements Democrats have made and policies they support, extrapolating them somewhat.

I do expect Trump to win. I read young Blacks support him 21%, compared to 10% four years ago. And given people are afraid to say they are for Trump, the actual support is higher.

The problem is, the Democrats will not accept a Trump win. They didn't last time; they won't this time, either. Especially when it will be so different from the polls. But they will have a hard time arguing voter fraud when they were arguing it would not exist, and what fraud is found probably increased their vote.

And we have seen threats of a civil war against Trump supporters already.

I'm sure hoping Trump wins.  Future looks mighty grim without him.  Supposedly Trump is going back to states he's sure of now to help the down ticket candidates.  Would be great if he could help get votes for them too.
