It really does come down to guns, bibles, bigotry and ignorance in rural America.trump supporters are truly the willfully ignorant. The various conspiracies of wide spread voting fraud are debunked on a regular basis yet they still choose to be the low info morons we all suspected they were. In a normal world a leader would take credit for one of the most secure elections in history, but there is nothing normal about trump. Instead he is gleefully cashing in on this ignorance proving a conman doesn’t need to be smart when his victims are stupid.

No, everyone will remember he is a liar and two time whiny b**ch loser who will throw anyone under the bus to save his own ass and those Governors were the ones who protected our democracy and election integrity.

Guns, bibles and other cultural values. Bigotry and ignorance describes all of us to various degrees. If you are White just Saying that you or I am not a bigot or have ignorance does not make it so. Why do you believe that Black men are leaving the Democratic Party? Progressives will have to get over the fact that white people should talk less and do more in race relations if you want to be morally and intellectually superior.

“Gov. Kemp owes his position, quite frankly, to Donald Trump. You know, it would be nice if he reciprocated in some way, not just to make sure that this goes the way we know it went for the president but for the American people. I mean, he owes it to all of us to do the right thing here.”
Lara trump on Kemp owing a quid pro quo to the man who was impeached for demanding a quid pro quo that republicans said wasn’t a quid pro quo.

Louisvillian here. Rural ky began voting republican nationally maybe around Clinton. Then began voting state wide republican a few governors ago. Our democratic governor Beshear only won by 5,000 votes and the republican Bevin, might have been as looney as 45. Too many are racists and hate big cities. (Began realizing this in the 1960s.) These people live in areas where minorities don't exist. There's no diversity. Social media has given them a voice and 45 a leader. These people have guns. They block legal alcohol sales, but buy their alcohol from bootleggers or the next county. They play the state lottery but won't approve money raising gambling. And yet every six years they re elect McMitch who they don't seem to realize lives in Louisville in one of the most liberal parts of the state, the original Highlands. I guess I would say maybe you can go after rural areas elsewhere but forget about ky. Ellen
I don't know anything about Kentucky except that it sounds a lot like rural North Florida where I grew up in the 60's and 70's where race relations were front and center after desegregation. Two very different cultures were told to mix immediately and without any instruction or real guideance. There was anger, resentment and violence on both sides but I honestly did not see the racism that many speak of where a white person believes that they are superior to a black person. I was actually confused when I read that Abraham Lincoln believed that whites were superior to blacks. Ignorance? Of course. Neither whites or blacks really took the time that it requires to learn about each other's culture in real time not text books. History from early education text books are not the best tools for race relations in my opinion. I can remember how I loved the library to find out more about history than in my text books. So I might disagree in context with the assesment of all whites in rural America are racist. Yes they own guns for protection and for hunting. I have shot numerous rattle snakes, moccasins and coyotes's that attacked our cattle, our pets and even ourselves (I have many stories). All of our freezer meat was from vension, wild pork (how many know how to make bacon) ducks, turkeys, doves and quail. We made syrup from sugar cane. We were very self sufficient in terms of food because we also grew huge gardens. We knew that food does not come from the grocery store! Rural America has a different culture than urban America. Yes. It is a fact. Both rural and urban people are ignorant and prejudiced. I once had a neighbor from Chicago. If we have to use that term racist then people in Chicago are very racist but I do not like using that term unless we are going to look at an individuals actions. Words are cheap. Actions require effort and sacrifice. I don't have any experience with bootlegging, lottery tickets and gambling but I believe bootlegging is more about a culture than most people understand. I can tell you that I use to make wine from home grown grapes or any other fruit. Now I just make jams and jellies
I have no explanation for McMitch except that he has learned how to manipulate people for his personal brand of power. Florida has the same type people in DeSantis, Scott and many others. I think they all misrepresent the people who vote for them...

Trump’s Lame Duck Tantrum
President Donald Trump’s administration is winding down, but his cruelty, recklessness and cronyism isn’t.
That’s why Public Citizen is tracking some of his most corrupt, norm-breaking, dangerous, and unjust actions during the lame duck session.
And we’re barely scratching the surface. From attempting to steal the election to gutting critical regulations to protect the public interest, Trump continues to put himself, corporations, and his cronies over the rest of us – and our democracy.

“Well, I’ll tell you what, 74 million Americans are not going to shut up and telling them that their views don’t matter, their concerns do not matter, and that they should just be quiet, is not a recipe for success in this country. It’s not a recipe for the unity that I hear now the other side is so interested in.”

I guess he forgot about this and does not know 81,000,000 is a greater number than 74,000,000. A majority of Americans hate the orange lying ahole and anyone who believes different is a low info fool. trump never polled over 50%.

Well, by now, you might have heard about the massive computer breach in the entire federal government and many state government agencies too. It's the worst breach in our nation's history. It has been confirmed that is coming from Russia, and has been going on since March. My question is, does anybody remember just exactly where the buck stops?
My second thought is: has he ever ever really been in charge, or has he always just been the distraction in chief?
My third thought: is he going to use this to declare marshal law and suspend the inauguration?

Not sure why he is will not concede a loss to a job he refuses to do except maybe fear of prosecution.

To my recollection, wasn’t Bill Barr the only person to see the complete unredacted copy of the Mueller Report? Wasn’t it entirely his perogative whether to make it public? Who has it now?

Now we know why his campaign was broke, they stole the money.
EXCLUSIVE: Jared Kushner helped create a Trump campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash, a source tells Insider
President Donald Trump's most powerful advisor, Jared Kushner, approved the creation of a campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent almost half of the campaign's $1.26 billion war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider.
The operation acted almost like a campaign within a campaign. It paid some of Trump's top advisors and family members while shielding financial and operational details from public scrutiny.
When Kushner and others created the company in April 2018, they picked Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, to become its president, Vice President Mike Pence's nephew John Pence as its vice president, and Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman as its treasurer and secretary, the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.
Insider independently verified details of this person's account with other sources close to the Trump campaign.

Reporting says trump considering Sydney Powell as a Special Counsel. Not going to work since she is unqualified because of bias.

Just ask yourself if we have ever had a President in your life time behave the way that President Trump has? It is shocking to compare the difference between past President's and this President's behavior in terms of democratic process and a United States of America. Americans now hate other Americans. Just think about that for a minute. Trump has effected every branch of our Federal, State and County governing bodies in a manner that creates sharp as in cutting division between the two political parties and social and political ideologies. This has effected all of us. Before Trump there was a resistance to social change but the dialogue was moving us forward as a more fair and equal example of democracy albeit slowly. Now the resistance has become more violent which has created a reactive and impatient behavior on the side of social change. We may never be the same again. You hate this constant blaming and others hate the fact that you don't see what is happening. So yes, this is a staggering situation and it will effect you and me and our families in the days and years ahead. I also agree with you that some of the blaming is over the top and too much and a big part of the problem now. Both sides are so busy hurting each other and blaming each other and eventually hating each other that we are losing our sense of civil behavior. Good and decent people have become politicized and that will hurt us more than you and I can imagine...
