We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Eric Hoffer observed that in America, “What starts out here as a mass movement ends up as a racket, a cult, or a corporation.” He made that observation a half century ago when America was still a country.
I agree with Scott Adams that Joe Biden is one horrible person. Calling me a racist and a Nazi is not forgiveable. I know about "just politics", but that is not.
I have crticized most of his proposed policies, and wondered about his physical and mental fitness, but never called him hateful names. Now, I am. Horrible. Nobody treats me like that. I only care about what is best for all of us Americans as I can best figure it out.
- All forms of agriculture other than hunting and gathering. No - include hunting and gathering too.
- All forms of transportation including horses and oxen.
- All forms of heating, cooling, and cooking, including wood fuel, solar farms, wind farms, or hydroelectric
All of those things kill nature. Let's face it - since humanity began, ecocide has been its implicit mission. Mass suicide is the only solution for nature. Nature is not for parks - it's for everywhere.
Regardless of election winners, all allegations of voting fraud should be looked at. It is a crime.
I still suspect that Biden won, but I do wonder about fraud anyway. I do not tend to be conspiracy-minded, but urban vote fraud is known to be historically common.

As Joe Biden predicted, his presumed election would solve the virus problem. It has. Trump/COVID is no longer news. It's time for everybody to step out and have a good time. (clip from Althouse): (warning: there is violence and excess talent in this clip)
I suppose Trump should fight because he is a pugilist, but it's over. I will admit to some surprises, but the electoral map looks fairly normal. Of course there was vote fraud, but not enough to really matter. Probably. Urban vote fraud is an American tradition, isn't it?
My view is to be grateful for all of the excellent things Trump did for the country against constant, brutal headwinds. Except for the nasty virus, the USA is in good shape and the world has more peace than it's had for decades. He gets credit for that.
Slow news day. Seems to me that Biden won the Pres. election, whether by hook or crook we'll never know because of all the mail-in nonsense. Hardball politics is never nice.
It's just part of the dirty game. Maybe worse this year, maybe not. Far stranger things happen: Scott says Twitter has censored Trump. That seems surreal.
