    Sorry, I don't read the NYT either.

    Are you suggesting it's OK for the Spectator to post a load of rubbish because other people do?

    I was only joking

      I believe The Spectator has a consistent view. It's up to the individual as to whether he thinks it is rubbish.

      In this case, the writer is referring to a series of somewhat incredulous acts surrounding Biden's election. I happen to think there is a point there.

        I believe there is a silent majority of people that would be willing to entertain the subject if only there was a smoking gun somewhere.

        Jolly the consolation prize is that many don’t go for the horseshit evidence that the media trebucheted at us over the last four years... Russian collusion, Kavanaugh the rapist, I swear we could go back and see a lie a week and my list would be over 200 major fabricated stories that we were told we MUST believe.

          Remember when IT said something about "verbing nouns?"

          But that's a perfect description, I might add.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            If you look at the headlines I posted, he was repeatedly wrong in his predictions. Predictably enough, the only reason he can find for this catalogue of error is the fact that the Democrats cheated.

            There's a point at which we just need to acknowledge we're wrong. I was completely wrong in 2015 and 2016 when I said there's no way somebody as unspeakably awful as Donald Trump could ever be elected President of the United States. What I didn't do at any point was try claim that the guy cheated. I never thought that for an instant.

              There's pretty much always a silent majority of people that just happen to think exactly like I do. If only they'd speak up, the world would be such a better place.

                  In addition, the reason we have elections is that they're pretty much the only way to find out what the silent majority actually want, as opposed to what we'd like them to think.

                  And now, we're being told to disregard this, as it doesn't make sense with what the voices in our head are telling us.

                    In 2016, at least one person here said that his campaign was so bad they believed he was deliberately trying to lose. And it wasn't a liberal making this claim, if memory serves.

                      Almost 50 million voters think this election was rigged. That's not a silent majority, but it's a damn good percentage...
