Trump was asked today whether he will commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the election. He declined to do so. He said “we will see what happens”. Love that reply. The legacy media reporter asked if he would commit... he didn't even say if a transfer was needed. There was no "should he lose the election" in the question. Agree, Trumps answer was perfect

i love the "occupy the white house" fearmongering all we hear is that the military hates him, if that's the case this wont be an issue, even if it was an issue, which it wont be.
How much you wanna bet the fearmongering for the 22nd amendment will come shortly after a trump victory.

Is that different from the fear mongering of the 2nd amendment that trump and the NRA like to barrage us with? One thing is for sure, the gun makers and supplies did much better when Obama was in office and that fear mongering was at a fever pitch (and I’m not anti-gun, before anyone goes down that path).

Speaking of apples; went to the Sandy River apple orchard yesterday to pick apples with the family. the owner told us some of the apple trees there are 150 years old.

Greg Sweetser who just retired as the Exec Dir of the Ski Maine Assoc lives on a farm just a few miles up the road from me that has been in his family for 5 generations and they have a modest orchard with some trees that old and older. So cool to think about what it must have been like to work the farm back in the mid-1800s. maineapple.com/

MMM Warm Apple Crisp Ala Mode That place has the best apples. We have made pies from those apples and for some reason they just seem better.

Don't you think a better answer would have been something like. "That's a silly question. I am not even going to answer that" Instead of leaving uncertainty to fuel the fire. That answer just sucks.

And Zenny continues to judge those that do not share his opinions. Once that you accept that politicians all lie, all cheat, all changes their minds regularly, talk out their ass etc, and understand that this is a real life reality show in which the winner becomes President...only then might you understand.
I can sit here all day and just post memes and bullshit internet stories about Democrats..Biden, Chuckie, Nancy that would be as polarizing...you just do not seem to see that both sides do this every second of every day.
Meanwhile cops are getting shot in Louisvilles, buildings are burning, etc...all in the name of peaceful protests. I can assure you that those are not Trump supporters throwing fire bombs at cops. I see those actions far far worse than Trumps answer about vacating the WH. DJT wants a fair election, he has said that from the beginning. He doesn't think what is happening is fair...disagree all you want. Election Day is nearing and the people will have their say.

And Zenny continues to judge those that do not share his opinions. Not judging, just my opinion. Do I really have to say that on every single post? And FWIW I’ve been judged a fraud, lockdown lover, infatuated with Fauci, a hater of service members and their families among, and many other lovely things by users of this forum.

Now who’s judging? I have to accept your point of view and only then might I understand? Sorry, I disagree. I think Trump has tried to turn it into a reality show and he’s turned it into a complete shit show instead. It actually makes me feel sad for our country.

nope, not my point of view...the "view of many" or the view of "the vast majority"...did I get that correct? PS: Trump turned the first election into a shit show and he became President. Different kind of guy, different kind of tactics.

" Politicians in both parties lie, all cheat, all changes their minds regularly, talk out their ass"
There is peace in the concept of acceptance. Accept that they are going to fall short of your unrealistic expectations and it really helps the anger part of watching politicians.
This is what I mean when I joke around: "Ask your doctor if Fukitol is right for you."

I don’t accept that blanket statement, and it totally disregards any discussion of individual politicians and assumes they are all the same. In my view that is the biggest flaw in your argument.
