As always, the story keeps changing: Remember ventilators, flatten the curve, the next two weeks are crucial, etc.? Remember Nancy Peℓσѕι in Chinatown back in February, urging everyone to visit? Remember Fauci dismissing masks as useless? Why should we believe anything the political/media complex tells us now?

I sure do!! Je me souviens. I remember. Two weeks to slow this down, and then we'll open back up. The San Francisco Bay Area was the first place in this country to order people to stay in their homes. The order went out on March 16, and was stated to last until (I think) April 3, or possibly April 13, I can't recall specifically. As that date approached, the order was extended another few weeks to some time in May. Then as that end date approached, it was extended to some date in June. As that date approached, the expiration date of the stay-home order was removed completely. As far as I know it is still in effect this very day, with no end in sight. Even any discussion of when the stay-home order will possibly come to an end has long since ceased, months ago.

Welcome to the Global cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρ. This is what is coming for all of America if Trump loses this election.

God forbid Trump loses.  But even if he wins, which the Dems thoroughly expect to happen, the Dems have full plans to cause chaos and cause a Constitutional crisis. They're going to file lawsuits, use Big Tech to shut down any discussion of "Trump won", etc.

Kyrie Eleison.

My nephew was counted twice as having a “case” of COVID.  He was exposed to two persons suspected of having the virus, and he had to “quarantine” in his apartment for a month...despite the fact that neither contact tested positive.  By the time they got test results, one person felt fine.  She probably had Spring allergies. The other person became sicker with what turned to be mononucleosis, not COVID.  My nephew’s tests both turned out negative, but his school, Buffalo University, counted him twice as a “Casey” because they got $$$ from the state.  
Another three persons of my acquaintance actually died of what turned out to be COVID, but were NOT counted because they died on March 3rd and 5th before COVID was recognized in Nassau County, New York.  All three died at home and were tested post-humously.  They were a man, age 53, obese and with COPD, a pregnant lady, 24, and her unborn son, both with no known health issues.  We’re these “counted,”?  God knows.  
 All but the family matriarch, age 60, obese, got sick.  The others were 34, obese female, 31, obese male, male children, ages 2, 6, 9, 11, all overweight or obese, female children, ages 8, 14, the younger obese.  The parents were both on ventilators.  The 6, 8, and 11 year old children were hospitalized on O2, not incubated.  The other children recovered at home.  The two year old was mildly sick.  For whatever reason, Grandma did not get sick at all and always tested negative.  Not present and never infected was the husband of the pregnant lady.  He was literally stranded at his job on an oil rig.  Poor man lost his wife and baby.  He has left his now 3 year old son and 14 year old daughter.  
If these were “cases” God knows.  It’s still a tragedy!

There was a lot of strange stuff going on during the peak of "deaths" during the plandemic. I believe they killed more people on those damn ventilators and shoddy medical practices than the virus did to anyone. some one close to my daughter who  is a nurse on the ICU ward in NY got sick and then discovered he had some really bad co morbidities going on but they kept him on the ventilator too long and lost him, it's a tragedy. I think when the dust settles from this thing, a lot of people are gonna be held accountable for perpetuating this fraud and lot of innocent people were lost because of this political nonsense.

1) On election day, Trump will win.
2) Then, as mail-in ballots trickle in, the results will be overturned.
3) Then there will be legal challenges.
4) I suspect, finally, that the Supreme Court will end up deadlocked 4-4 (by design), resulting in a Constitutional Crisis and massive unrest.  Leftistist rioting will make the previous stuff actually look like "peaceful protests" by comparison.

Agreed totally.
5) A deadlock means Peℓσѕι, as speaker of the house, becomes president until the true winner is decided.  *shudder*

Sometimes I wonder if the entire COVID lockdown in the U.S. wasn't in fact to set up this whole mail-in voting trend.

Absolutely it was.  Covid pushes the leftist agenda on multiple fronts:
1)  It is an excuse to "lockdown" the economy, which has forced many business to close permanently.  The reality is, that many of these businesses (mostly restaurants, salons, mom&pop shops) were only hanging on by a thread, profit-wise.  This shutdown just accelerated their inevitable close.
.
2)  Big-business and liberal-Universities supported and (in many ways) facilitated this shutdown, by their acceptance of draconian state measures in blue states, which filtered down to red states as a matter of "company policy".  For example, the shut down of sports caused a huge shift in public opinion and public attitudes on the covid "threat".  Not to mention, these are billion dollar industries which affected thousands of small businesses.
.
3)  The economic shutdown will serve 2 purposes:
.
a) It will create larger and more profitable big-business.  Much of the "middle class" business sector supported the Fortune 500 companies in some way.  For example, the NBA, NFL, and MLB have 90+ sports teams.  The number of "middle class" businesses which provide food, vendor services, clothing, security, television, radio, etc "services" to these sports giants is very large.  With many of these companies going out of business, these sports companies can do-it-themselves, and have the entire profit.
.
b) basically, COVID will kill the middle class and help usher in larger monopolies, in all industries.
.
c)  It will shut down smaller/medium sized universities and social programs, to save States budget $.
Looking at the lower demographics for America, the number of universities is too great.  Many have to close and only the largest and favorites will survive the ever-looming state budget crisis of every state in the US.  COVID will help to usher in the mass-closure of colleges across the US, both from a loss of sports revenue and a loss of scholarships/tuition $.
.
4)  As you said, this lockdown is an excuse to push mail-in voting, so as to steal the election.  Ultimately, the short term economic shutdown is also an excuse to blame Trump, but that has not worked so far.

Ultimately, the short term economic shutdown is also an excuse to blame Trump, but that has not worked so far.

Right, I wish Trump had some more refined debating skills, since he could have called Biden out for the contradiction of both blaming him for the economic downturn AND for not shutting down the country enough.

I would respectfully refer everyone to Article II Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States as modified by the 12^th and 20^th Amendments.

The President and Vice-Presidents’ terms continues until noon on January 20, 2021, nearly 80 days after the November 3^rd election (Amendment 20, Section 1).

The entire House of Representatives (435 seats) and one third of the Senate (30+ seats) are up for election.  The terms of the current holders of these seats will all end at noon on January 3, 2021 (Amendment 20, Section 1).  The current 116^th Congress (consisting of both the Senate and the House of Representatives) will adjourn sine die on or before noon January 3, 2021, at which time the 117^th Congress will be seated.  A new Speaker of the House and a new President Pro Tempore of the Senate will be elected from among the newly seated members.

If the Electoral College fails to elect a President and Vice-President before those terms end on January 20 of the year following the November general election the newly seated House elects the President and the Senate elects the Vice-President.

Just wondering who didn’t “like” my post.  It is the facts as I was told them first and second-hand.  Sure, it could have been faked or all lies.  I do know that people who were very much alive in February are now dead, and that my nephew was forced to quarantine for a month, in a room by himself.  He has put his senior year of college on hold, indefinitely, because he’s one of two persons in the immediate family who is able to work for money.  (The other is his cousin, age 16, who has quit high school in order to help support her mother and two siblings, five and eight.) The rest of us either lost our jobs, are too old or have health issues that prevent others from hiring us, or are in their 90s and unwell, or otherwise physically incapable of meeting the requirements of the kinds of jobs available.
