Editor,
Now that the elections are practically over, I wonder why the self-anointed president-elect suddenly appeals to those of us who did not vote for him. For the last four years, those of us who supported Trump have been called every name in the book, our streets have been flooded with and defaced by marauding gangs and thousands of businesses have been destroyed by supporters of his party.
Only recently did Biden himself lamely disavowed any responsibility for the violent actions that have taken place. Those of us who have consistently supported Trump were well advised in advance by the same laughably, identified peaceful crowd not to place any stickers on our cars, or heaven forbid, place Trump Pence signs on our front yards lest we were subject to vandalism. Now, the ever sanctimonious Biden is assuring me that he is going to be my president as well? Come on, guy! You are not fooling me. We shall not forget.

Have you no idea at all what happened to your party and the country because of Trump? The bully and foul mouth in chief is on his way out and you refuse an olive branch and an offer of reconciliation and peace so we, all of us Americans, can unite to fight the real battles ahead that threaten our world? Put down the swords, and hook yourself up to the plow.
Cindy, where were you four years ago? Your side never had any intent of reconciliation and resisted Trump at every turn. An olive branch? Don't make me laugh. And now you want me to roll over and play dead? I don't think so. We shall return.
So Dirk, where were you in 2008? Your side never had any intent of reconciliation and resisted Obama for EIGHT years. But, let's stop playing whataboutism and recognize we are not enemies but opponents. We have real problems and we should be working together to solve them.
Dirk--You mean like when McConnell and the senate said they were determined to make Obama a one term president? They pledged to resist him at every turn. That was YOUR side. Works both ways, bro.
Tommy - kind of presumptuous to call me your 'Bro'. I am not your Bro. And the difference was that we did not start rioting, calling you names and demanded that the Obama administration be impeached even though there were plenty of reasons to do so. We grinned and bore it for 8 years but in dignified silence. That was the difference.
Hey, it’s Cindy Lou Who. It appears Cindy’s come back to grace us with her presence after a short break. Unfortunately for us, her hatred hasn’t taken a break. In Cindy’s diatribe, she insults her great President Trump and then say’s an olive branch is being offered. Maybe Cindy should take another break to research why her comment is not being taken seriously.
Cindy will never change but I give credit to our other detractors who have refrained from name calling. I consider that progress. And, for the record, you are not my enemies, we just don't agree on certain issues. You are still my valued neighbors.
The "you lost, get over it," crowd from 2016 sure seems to be in a bad mood now.
I try to guess the name of the letter writer before I scroll down to see who it is. I guessed wrong today. I thought it was Ed Kahl not you Dirk. Although I don't remember ever agreeing with your comments I don't recall them being quite as unhinged as this letter, but I may be wrong. Like Tommy says, the loss must have really hit you Trumpers hard.
Great job continuing to melt snowflakes, Mr. van Ulden. You would think TDS-infected folks would be happy because the lamestream media anointed brain-dead Biden as the winner, yet these folks continue to spew their hate. Isn’t it ironic that the same folks who have been in a snit for four years are now asking for peace? The same folks who tried to overthrow a duly elected President, who made up a Russian collusion hoax, who impeached a President for doing his job, who pledged resistance at every level, and who committed voter fraud on a massive scale. If Biden ever wins the Presidency, I’ll be happy to channel TDS folks and ride brain-dead Biden for the next four years. It’s doubtful he’ll lasts that long so I’ll happily target the next victim. I may just cut and paste some of Cindy Lou Who or Tommy animosi-Tee, or Daffy Taffy Dave rants. Oh wait, 99% of all their rants are juvenile and repetitive so I take that back.
Juvenile and repetitive? Yep, that's you all right. Find a mirror, sore loser.
Hello... Cindy, Rel, Tommy and Tafhdyd
Sore losers? How 'bout sore winners? Dems and leftists (not always the same) challenged Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election. They would not accept the result. They called for impeachment on his first day in office. They stridently persisted in using false information generated by the DNC to question the legitimacy of Donald's Trump's presidency for more than two years. They challenged him at every turn in the courts just because they could and sometimes frivolously.
Dems have challenged the outcome of a presidential election in the past... it was their right to do so. Now, when Donald Trump follows that path, he is being a sore loser. Seriamente?
Dems were dancing in the street celebrating Joe Biden's victory remarks. Later, he said he wants to unite the country even as some leftists are calling for reconciliation commissions to punish prominent Trump supporters and to make sure those who worked in the Trump administration remain unemployed.
When you saw images of Dems dancing in the streets... what did you see in background? Businesses boarded up because if the celebrants did not get the result they wanted, there would be riots... not peaceful protests... riots.
So, Joe Biden is declared president-elect in some quarters... OK. When that happened last week, did you see conservatives marching aggressively en masse? Did you see them looting and burning? No. Those things did not happen.
While Joe Biden may express a desire to bring Americans together, the loudest Dem voices in the room will continue to deride and disparage their political counterparts. Stirring the pot is what they do best...
I guess I’ll have to update the 99% to 99.1%. Tommy incivili-Tee is making my case. I sure hope Mr. Tee drinks some tea in the morning, preferably decaffeinated. Or goes out to the driving range to hit some golf balls off the tee. It's getting nippy out there so I sure hope he wears more than a tee.
Terence, You are more unhinged than your orange idol. Back up your rants with facts (real facts, not your imaginary ones) and then we can talk. Until then why don't you just take you ball and go home.
Oh dear, Laffy Taffy, sounds like I broke you again. You’ve resorted to your usual name calling and curmudgeonly mood because you can’t face facts. For whatever reason, you seem to have memory-holed results of the impeachment process and the Mueller report. Didn’t I tell you to stay away from Johnnie Walker? He’s not doing you any favors and you’re only embarrassing yourself.
