As a lifelong recreational sailor, I can give him the following advice; when the wind doesn't fill your sails and they hang loose on the mast, you can always fire up the auxiliary engine

Including all the Trump appointees?

You had no standing then and you have no standing now.

My brother is also a recreational sailor--42 ft. boat--and doesn't have a high opinion of auxiliary engines. He says if you need an engine, get a motorboat.

So what does he do when the wind dies and he needs to get home? Does he break out the oars or wait for a tow? If you keep a boat of that size in a marina and try to get it in and out of a slip under sail, sooner or later, you will bang the Hell out of it, other boats, and the dock, and are likely to get kicked out of the marina. IMHO, sailors think about their engines in the same way that Hippies think about cops. They regard them with disdain, until they need them

Why is there a statue of Lenin in downtown Seattle? Why are aborted baby parts being sold as human where before the abortion they were just tissue? Why does the Talmud teach the hatred of Jesus Christ and His followers? (The Talmud is the work of the devil.) Even the Statue of Liberty had diabolical meaning when it was created by Freemasons and sent to America. And, worst of all, why do we revere the things that are against the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

How is God supposed to answer our prayers if our attention is doing the things He hates?

This is the last response you'll ever get from me because you're a jackass! An uninformed jackass at that! The mainstream media lies consistently. They get their 'scripts' from the top guys at the Bilderberg. You go on believing the lies and you'll wind up in the grave - just the way they planned it.

The reason 80 million people voted for Trump is that he was taking the country in the right direction. Biden, under Obama's direction, is taking the country in the direction of complete Communism. IF, and that's a big if, you survive you will be one of their slaves.

Of course. I cannot believe the nuttiness.

Surveillance video of ‘suitcases filled with ballots’ breeds false fraud claims in Georgia

ATLANTA (AP) — Surveillance video of ballot processing on election night in Atlanta is fueling a false social media narrative of “suitcases filled with ballots” hidden under a cloth-covered table and tallied without supervision, even as top state officials confirm election workers followed standard procedure.
The video showed regular ballot containers on wheels — not suitcases — and both a state investigator and an independent monitor observed counting until it was done for the night, finding no evidence of improper ballots, state and county officials said on Friday.
That hasn’t stopped President Donald Trump, his campaign, his lawyers and his supporters from sharing the video with false fraud accusations in a spate of Facebook and Twitter posts that have racked up millions of views in less than 24 hours.
Here’s a look at the facts around this viral video:
CLAIM: Poll workers and partisan observers were told to leave Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on election night, but four election workers stayed behind, pulled suitcases full of ballots out from under a table, and scanned them after hours without any supervision.
THE FACTS: The video doesn’t show evidence of fraud, much less the “SMOKING GUN” evidence that Trump’s legal team claims on social media.
No one told observers they had to leave, and both an independent monitor and an investigator oversaw the vote count, according to state and county officials. Confusion arose when election workers thought they were done for the night, but then were instructed to continue scanning ballots. But investigators who reviewed the entire surveillance tape confirmed it showed “normal ballot processing,” according to Gabriel Sterling, a top official in the secretary of state’s office.
The video, which shows clips of surveillance footage from a room where ballots were counted, began gaining traction online on Thursday after volunteer Trump attorney Jackie Pick presented it for state senators during a hearing at the state Capitol.
Pick claimed it showed a staff member telling partisan observers to leave the facility for the night about 10:30 p.m. After observers were “cleared out,” she said, four election workers stayed behind, pulled suitcases of ballots out from underneath a table, and counted them for two hours with no witnesses present.
Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron refuted those claims on Friday, saying in a public meeting that no observers were ever told to leave the facility.
According to Barron, staff members who had been opening and flattening ballots for scanning started leaving the facility as their duties concluded.
Other election workers started to pack up, Sterling told The Associated Press in an interview. They put prepared ballots back in boxes and away under a table “to close out for the night.” Members of the media and Republican observers began to leave the building too.
Then, the supervisor onsite got a call from Barron, who instructed the team to continue scanning the ballots that had already been prepared. They pulled the same boxes of ballots back out, and resumed scanning, Sterling said.
“These aren’t magical ballots,” Sterling told the AP. “They didn’t show up out of some other room.”
Georgia law § 21-2-408 permits observers to stay in the room the whole time, but doesn’t require it for counting to take place.
After a short period when observers weren’t present, an independent state election board monitor arrived to oversee the scanning at 11:52 p.m., Barron said. A state investigator arrived at 12:15 a.m. Both individuals remained at the facility until the count concluded for the night, he said.
The Georgia secretary of state’s office said it was aware of the late-night counting, and confirmed that both its investigator and an independent monitor observed scanning “until it was halted for the night.”
The office said it had launched an investigation into why partisan poll observers left before scanning ended.
The president’s team is “intentionally misleading the public about what happened at State Farm Arena on election night,” Sterling tweeted Friday. “They had the whole video too and ignored the truth.”

Quite unsurprising. Anyone who would swim naked in front of their Secret Service female security agents might do other repulsive things.
