77 Days: Trump’s Campaign to Subvert the Election

Hours after the United States voted, the president declared the election a fraud — a lie that unleashed a movement that would shatter democratic norms and upend the peaceful transfer of power.

SGT Tim. Wilson - Sgt. Tim now that I have some time lets look at your response here and see if we can break it down a bit:

Maybe you should try getting your information from somewhere other than Hannity and Fox!

Reply: Does that include Morning Joe and the Hoe and Rachal Madaow and the CNN crew -- after all if you think its good for one it should be good for all!

Shutting the pipeline down does nothing for the US oil or gas. All that pipeline was for was for transportation of crude oil so it could be shipped out of the continent for refinement.

Reply: Well Sgt Tim do you know how the oil is currently being transported to the refinery? By train --- and do you know who owns the train line that has the contract to move the oil -- Why its none other then Warren Buffett -- a billionaire who does not want to see the income stream interrupted. And I would think that a strong environmentalist such as your self would be concerned with headlines such as: A Runaway Train Explosion Killed 47, but Deadly Cargo Still Rides the Rails, By Ian Austen July 16, 2019 -- this is your oil carrying train. No such problems occur with a pipeline.

Canada has already said they are fine with it!

Response: The Government of Alberta is going to court to sue the Biden Administration over this --- fine with it I do not think so. Headline: Alberta premier calls Biden's XL cancellation a 'gut punch' for U.S.-Canada trade relationship U.S. President Joe Biden revoked permit for pipeline on Wednesday CBC News · Posted: Jan 20, 2021.

There will be more jobs produced in the US with green energies than what is being lost by the pipeline.

Response: I respectfully disagree. We have heard this line before and what we got was a $500M boon dongle called Solyndra... CA has rolling brownouts because they rely on Solar and Wind. The problem is there is no mass storage capacity to store the energy for when its needed. I am sure that this is a problem that will be solved some day but right now it cannot be done. I am also absolutely sure that John Karry will not visit face to face with the Union workers who just lost their jobs, look them in the eye and tell them they need to "REPURPOSE".

Shutting the pipeline down has no affect on our own oil and gas fields and those employed by them.

Response: Probably right on this one --But shutting down fracking and drilling on Federal Lands: The Wall Street Journal Jan 27, 2021... Biden’s Order to Freeze New Oil Drilling on Federal Land: What You Need to Know...The administration is halting new drilling permits on U.S. lands as it seeks to fight climate change. This will lead to the loss of our energy independence, put us at the mercy of the Oil Cartels of the Middle East --- which will inevitably lead to further wars in which your grandchildren can serve.

If the pipeline was fully operational it would have less than 2000 employees on its maintenance crew. They can use all those people to dismantle the stupid thing and rework the land back to a semblance of what it was before it was destroyed for the pipeline!

Response: Well I guess we should be glad that is not your job that will be lost --- after all you might feel differently about it if you had a job and it was taken away with the stroke of a pen..

Troops getting out in a parking garage, out of the weather and elements give me a fucking break!!!! Oh wait you were an officer, that’s right you have no real idea of what it’s like to be out in the elements and also dealing with the public!

Reply: Now here you got a bit personal. I see that you check my profile and it show's that I was you... Sgt E-5 before I was me... and I did see your half hearted apology which I accept. What I will also tell you is that I live in the DC area and have spent many of my post military career working on behalf of soldier and their personnel safety and protection on the battlefield. So when I see this I have to ask where is the leadership... Do you have any idea how many empty hotel room there are in DC right now because of COVID --- Thousands! Do not give the BS when its raining or cold that "its good training" --- Just incase YOU have forgotten -- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PRACTICE BEING MISERABLE! Shame on the leadership for allowing this... when did the Army run out of tents and cots, heaters and generators and portable latrines --- I suspect that a FOB in Afghanistan had better accommodations... I am concerned that there is an entire generation of leaders including you that thinks this is how to care for soldiers.

Who has had to pay a $200 tax on a rifle???? I call bullshit on that!!!!!! LTC talking out his ass not knowing what he is saying bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless!!!
And no he’s not going to take your guns away!

Reply: To soon to visit this one -- I'm patient ---let see what happens. I will say I did hear him say it -- and I suspect you did too! I also heard him say he would stop the pipeline and he did... so....

President Biden has implemented his Covid plan after finding out that trump had NOTHING going!

Biden is a notorious plagiarizer -- "Did Biden Inherit ‘Nonexistent’ COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Plan"? The claim stemmed from anonymous sources in a CNN report. Jessica Lee Published 22 January 2021 - However, the Trump administration did have a plan in place for distributing COVID-19 vaccines, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden's chief COVID-19 medical adviser, said the new administration would incorporate some aspects of that Trump-era strategy in its ongoing work. As you know -- NO plan survives First Contact -- Maybe you don't know since that would involve actual combat...

As for the remainder of your tirade again I say Please seek professional help --- can you just imagine how you would be behaving of you guy had lost?
