A bitter pill from the heartland.

I'm going to write a letter to an editor with my opinion too

No I won't, it's stupid

Well duh

The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency.

Irrefutably true.

It is simply not true.
No matter how many times you spam the site,
it will still never be true.

Your handlers must laugh hysterically at how hard you try, while knowing that they are feeding you complete propaganda.

“The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power.”

That is false.

The observable, demonstrable facts say otherwise.

 

[j-mac]

Just like the hanging chad.

So, it’s illegal to question an election result?

 

[berg80]

It is simply not true.

You have absolutely nothing factual to present that refutes it.

[Moonglow]

Ballot harvesting, shady counts, and strange sudden changes in counts undermined faith in our elections.

Trump just responded to the anger of his supporters.

On the 6th, right down the road to the Capitol , at the same time Congress was doing business. Yeah, no coincidence there, uh-huh. Nope.

 

[Moonglow]

So, it’s illegal to question an election result?

No, it's not, bum rushing Congress is not a question it is an act.

 

[j-mac]

The observable, demonstrable facts say otherwise.

That’s where it becomes partisan…Or are you saying only dems are allowed to dispute results?

 

[berg80]

So, it’s illegal to question an election result?

No. But it's illegal to try to reverse the certified result. Anything else?

 

[j-mac]

No, it's not, bum rushing Congress is not a question it is an act.

And, Trump neither did, nor asked for that to be done.

'Bullshit', 'idiotic': Barr bluntly dismisses claims of election fraud​

I saw it.
I watched it.
States changed the way that they handled mail in ballots, without legally changing the way that mail in ballots were to be handled.

That is irrefutable.

One day of a riot vs. months of continuing lefty riots.

Please.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

I gladly take this group who are merely expressing their freedom of speech and dissatisfaction over what's going on in their country over that hateful, satanic group every day of the week!

billions in damage, over 30 murders and over 2000 cops hurt ya peaceful protest indeed.

Please.

Location, location, location, how can I make this any clearer people!?

 

[j-mac]

No. But it's illegal to try to reverse the certified result. Anything else?

That makes no sense. So, Al Gore should be charged.

Ok, and? What investigation did Barr do?

Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts: Letter from the Editor

A more-than-occasional arrival in the email these days is a question expressed two ways, one with dripping condescension and the other with courtesy:

Why don’t our opinion platforms treat Donald Trump and other politicians exactly the same way. Some phrase it differently, asking why we demean the former president’s supporters in describing his behavior as monstrous, insurrectionist and authoritarian. I feel for those who write. They believe in Trump and want their local news source to recognize what they see in him.

The angry writers denounce me for ignoring what they call the Biden family crime syndicate and criminality far beyond that of Trump. They quote news sources of no credibility as proof the mainstream media ignores evidence that Biden, not Trump, is the criminal dictator. The courteous writers don’t go down that road. They politely ask how we can discount the passions and beliefs of the many people who believe in Trump.

This is a tough column to write, because I don’t want to demean or insult those who write me in good faith. I’ve started it a half dozen times since November but turned to other topics each time because this needle hard to thread. No matter how I present it, I’ll offend some thoughtful, decent people.

The north star here is truth. We tell the truth, even when it offends some of the people who pay us for information.

The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse.

I can't help being hopeful when a column like that is published. Quixotically so I'm afraid. Any time the simple truth is written as an appeal to Trump supporters to nudge them towards reality I kid myself in to believing it is the one that's going to get through. Probably because I want it to so badly.

Chris Quinn, the author, has apparently received an unusual amount of positive feedback from the piece. Perhaps because his genuine attempt not to offend comes through. I hope it makes a difference.

A bitter pill from the heartland.​

Bitter for who?

You seem pretty happy

Bitter for trump supporters?

Why?

Its no surprise when a lib journalist bashes trump

Thats in their DNA

But the reason print news is dying is because their editorial staff are far to the left of the public

"Facts"

More leftist parading opinion as facts.

Biden won the election by receiving more legitimate votes. That's an irrefutable, demonstrable fact. Your refusal to acknowledge it doesn't change anything.

 

[berg80]

Ok, and? What investigation did Barr do?

Here are some more facts for you to deny.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Disputing President Donald Trump’s persistent, baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.

Barr’s comments, in an interview with the The Associated Press, contradict the concerted effort by Trump, his boss, to subvert the results of last month’s voting and block President-elect Joe Biden from taking his place in the White House.

Barr told the AP that U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
