    And remember that politicians are skillful at the art of misdirection.

    It would be interesting to see if the mistrust switched sides had Trump won. Disappointment has to account for some percentage of mistrust. Probably wasn't an issue when Reagan won 49 of 50 states in a landslide victory.

    Had Trump won, the Burn, Loot & Murder riots would have continued, if not tripled in size and frequency. The left has been very prone to violence the last couple of decades. It's almost like they suffer from some type of mental illness.

    My mistrust for all of doesn't depend on any side.
    It pretty much covers both sides.

    Actually, in 1984, when Reagan won, there was talk of some areas having miscounted ballots, but the margin was so severe that Mondale conceded and it wasn't much of a story, so it was quickly dropped.

    Does anyone think that is why he lost?
    Trump often talks of the shadow Givernment and such. Just maybe they ensured Biden won to save the cities.
    If anyone remembers Biden was not even winning his primary

    Isn't it interesting that no one finds that odd?
    And I sometimes wonder how the senate races can go the complete opposite.
    I guess I just see things as odd and from the viewpoint of numbers and statistics, removing all opinions, none of it makes much sense.

    I live in Illinois, politicians here have been caught with dead people voting, multiple times. Yet I’m still supposed to “trust” the system. Remember in 16 when ballots that were “missing” turned up in the trunk of a car. The powers that be never “find” actual fraud because that would put a damper on public opinion, so as usual nothing to see here.

    So glad I don't have to live somewhere, just to make a living anymore, Illinois, Cali, anywhere on either coast.

    I find it sad there are people out there more worried about their feelings being hurt rather than substance and accomplishments. Record economy, record support among minorities (for a republican), and unprecedented peace deals to list a few. All these were barely covered or minimized by mainstream media.

    BREAKING NEWS

    The cybersecurity firm FireEye said hackers — almost certainly Russian — stole its digital tools, giving the thieves a range of new attack options.
    Tuesday, December 8, 2020 4:07 PM EST

    For years, FireEye has been the first call for government agencies and companies around the world who have been hacked by the most sophisticated attackers, or fear they might be.

    It was a stunning theft, akin to bank robbers who, having cleaned out local vaults, then turned around and stole the F.B.I.’s investigative tools.

    I went to the liquor store today, and as I was checking out I noticed that on the top shelf, behind the counter, well out of reach, was a red velvet sack that said Pappy Van Winkle on the outside. "How much for that Pappy bottle?" I asked the cashier. I thought that, since she knows my affinity for high-priced Scotch, she might hand it down to me.

    Nope

    She just looked me in the eye and said "20 year old, 2000". As she is from India, I thought for a moment that she was telling me the date it was bottled. "Dollars?" I asked. Again, she looked directly at me, and then solemnly nodded. "$2,000".

    Guess I'll stick with this 18 pack of beer and a bottle of red wine.

    I recently saw an article that mentioned unreasonable markups by retailers. The Company encourages folks to report the retailer to the BBB.

    Kris Comstock, senior marketing director at the Frankfort, Kentucky-based distillery. “Additionally, if you are a customer trying to buy a bottle at a licensed retailer who has marked it up above MSRP, we encourage you to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or contact your state Attorneys General office.”

    Vanderbilt women staying inside locker room during anthem
    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vanderbilt’s women’s basketball team has decided to stay inside its locker room during the national anthem this season to both mourn and commemorate racial injustice in the United States.

    Here's a thought,..... Stop playing the anthem at ball games. I don't think it's necessary to play the anthem at ball games and I think the only ones who would really miss it would be the the ones protesting it. Just play the game.

    Mall Santa makes boy cry, refusing his request for a nerf gun.

    Santa: What do you want for Christmas?
    Boy: Maybe, I want a Nerf Gun.
    Santa: Naw. Nope. No guns.
    Boy: NERF gun. (He says a bit louder so Santa understands he's not asking for a Glock.)
    Santa: Nope. Not even a nerf gun.
