Title: A Recount in Two Georgia Counties!

But this time the Trump team is putting up a few million bucks and so must be a little more serious.

It they can find some irregularities, by hook or by crook, this will light a fire in America that no fire department or police force will be put out easily!

Not suggesting that 69 million Trump supporters haven't moved on to real life already.
Just to suggest that even a million of the most extreme are enough to cause some very serious damage to the rule of law in the land of the gun.

Not to downplay the threat of white nationalist violence, but I'd be shocked if there were more than a couple of hundred Trumpers with the wherewithal to actually put their "civil war" fantasies into reality. The bulk of them are retirees or small business owners with kids, mortgages and boat payments to make, they won't go to jail no matter how much they bluster on Facebook.

You could be right.

But most of all I personally appreciate a fresh POV on this board!

Is MLW still working? And are you posting there?

I did about 3 or 4 years ago and then got banned for being too politically incorrect for them on US politics. If I remember correctly, a 'Sean in Ottawa posted prolifically on that one. He's shown up on some others now too.

I don't recall 'Black Dog' but it's been a long time.

Anyway, this one is seeing a revival today and maybe it won't be shortlived. Still some real useless asses here but some talent in a few when they try to apply themselves.

This kind of board is a tough go these days.

I left MLW when it became apparent the mods were content to let one or two posters derail pretty much every thread and it became unusable. That was at least six years ago.

Bear with this one for a while. Right now it's pretty well open for all the spam a couple of them can hand out and the mod/admin doesn't care anymore. If there's some kind of revival happening here then I hope to talk the the admin about some useful changes that need to be made. It's a longshot for sure.

On the MLW question, what happened there? Did it turn Conservative? Liberal/ NDP?

I understand how it is tough for you however keep your finger on the page and try and keep up and you'll catch on eventually.

Is that a typo or is it a new word for me?
I'm especially interested in the trend that would take over there because they're so big and representative of Canadians' feelings. Which side's politics is it that they couldn't tolerate any longer?
