UNDERSTANDABLE IS SOMETIMES UNREALISTIC OR UNREASONABLE ALSO

by Bob Walsh


Years ago, when I was the Chief Job Steward, I represented a guy who the department tried to fire for falling asleep in a guard tower.  It happens.  It shouldn't happen but it does.  Part of the reason, maybe a LARGE part of the reason they tried to fire this guy on the first offense is that he was unlikeable.  The union put up a beef, which is what they are supposed to do, and the department backed away.  

After that of course every bit of bad news that came this guys way, deserved or not, was "They are picking on me, they are made because I beat them."

Enter Donald Trump.  There is as far as I am concerned NO QUESTION that he was the victim of a silent coup attempt launched by what has come to be called The Deep State, the intelligence community and the Clinton crime family.  It happened.  And more importantly he really believes it happened.  His belief is justified and reasonable because it did happen.

Does that mean that the election authorities in Nevada and Arizona are dicking with him?  Does it mean that the "mail everybody a ballot" plan allegedly due to the plague is actually an attempt to steal the election from him?  Maybe yes, but maybe not.  

There is a line between an aggrieved individual standing up for his rights and a petulant child throwing a tantrum.  Right now Donald Trump is dancing toward that line.  I don't think he has crossed it.  I am not sure he will cross it.  There is a difference between being scrappy and being a dick.  I can respect scrappy.  Being a dick is irritating and tiresome.  I hope he doesn't become a dick. 
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: Good God Bob!  It looks like you fell for that deep state conspiracy crap Alex Jones put out.  Believe me, there never was any deep state other than in Jones' dickhead mind.

Well said, Bob. I enjoy a well written blog and not a simple copy and paste article. Sometimes I wish Howie would allow contributors to contribute without those annoying and overly opinionated Editors Notes. By the way, do contributors have the same freedoms?

If this had happened to you, would you give up without a fight?

A Tweet from President Trump this morning:

Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8 P.M. on Tuesday, Election Day, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and certain other razor thin states. As a separate matter, hundreds of thousands of Votes were illegally not allowed to be OBSERVED. This would ALSO change the Election result in numerous States, including Pennsylvania, which everyone thought was easily won on Election Night, only to see a massive lead disappear, without anyone being allowed to OBSERVE, for long intervals of time, what the happened. Bad things took place during those hours where LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was viciously & crudely not allowed. Tractors blocked doors & windows were covered with thick cardboard so that observers could not see into the count rooms. BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES TOOK PLACE!

The Supreme Court has ruled to separate the ballots received after 8pm.

I have to agree with Bob. And Trey. Sure would be nice if the old fool running this blog didn't feel compelled to run his mouth and keyboard every time an article or a comment appears that he disagrees with. It is what it is I guess.

You can call me an old fool, but I'm not so foolish as you fools who have fallen for that Deep State crap put out by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Sorry Howie, but when the political opposition, FBI and other intelligence agencies get together with members of the permanent civil service and the prior administration to attempt to remove a duly elected president, I don't know what the hell else you can call it.
