To be fair, several convictions came of those cries for justice we had to hear about for four years. People went to jail.

That being said, Trump wasn't one of them and it took wayyyyyy to long to resolve. Moreover, the second ball of crap around Ukraine was an embarrassment for Nasty Nancy.

So I kinda see half your point.

Everything I'm seeing on different form of social media is the same, people crying voter fraud for no reason other than that their guy is not winning.

Really, everything is the same? Everyone, every Republican, is crying voter fraud?

While many Trumpsters will not accept the results, it will be much worse if Trump wins...largely due to the media.

I mean it says a lot about the candidate and trump when you win by sitting in your basement for five months.

Make up your mind. Either you want the nonsense to continue, or you don't.

It’s not ME taking it literally. If he didn’t get out there saying that we wouldn’t have the nonsense displays we are currently having in AZ and Michigan going on. If you don’t see that those words cause the divide then that’s on youu

You're trying really hard to take a general thing into something it's not.

Typical of you. I applaud it. Argue with someone else today.

Good analogy. The thing is a president is supposed to be the head ref not a coach.

It's not on me, I don't listen to him or care what he says. It's people that do (aka those rioting for Biden and those pounding on windows for Trump) that are the issue. Lack of knowledge that what ANYONE says doesn't mean anything.

I'm sorry, but imagine a world where we have to discard most of what a President says and people are okay with that. Not just okay, but voted for him a second time.

There are as many people who voted for Biden because he isn't Trump as there are people who voted for Trump because he's the Republican.

Sad but true.

Eh, there are two sides and judgements being made that benefit one or the other.

You're only supposed to take Trump literally sometimes. Not when it sounds stupid, only when it sounds kind of stupid. Or when it literally is stupid. Or when it's actually correct. But not when it's stupid.

Follow me?

So we should disregard everything the president says? How is that a good thing?

Again, WHO CARES WHAT ANYONE SAYS? Get over it, nothing he says will change my life (because I don't live in a city that will burn to the ground).

[yanksfan1]

For all the conspiracy people, am I really supposed to be believe that Democrats have a multistate vote rigging operation to win the presidency but also chose not to rig senate races?

Because they are just words. He can't make or change laws.

You're usually pretty level-headed, but c'mon man.

You're telling people to ignore stuff because it doesn't affect you. Even if it does affect them.

[Swipe79]

Well...I was enjoying this thread.

Yeah the whole “pay attention to what he does, not what he says” thing jumped the shark a long time ago. What the president says has weight and what he’s saying now is dangerous.

Even if Biden pulls ahead, we're talking a virtual tie kind of situation where recounts and lawsuits will happen (so long as Georgia is important).

Arizona - Bare minimum reported again last night; Trump gained a total of more than 24,000 votes and is now down just under 69,000. Arizona is not expected to report more votes until tonight and I would expect the amount to be similar. We're on a pace like Georgia, but in reverse this time w/ Trump catching up.

Nevada - We're supposed to have all the votes at noon ET. This is the state that should move the fastest. The vote that's out is the same kind vote that is out in Arizona but much less of it; so could narrow the gap.

Pennsylvania - They just started counting ballots again and will be dumping them soon in small batches. Philadelphia has a lot of outstanding vote, Pittsburgh has some and the Rurals have the rest. IF the margins of this vote today are the same as yesterday, Trump will get passed today and that will be that. But surprises; ya know.

Thanks for this. I just typed all this out and searched back through this morning's posts before hitting 'Send'.

Trump is planning to file lawsuits in GA, PA, NV, MI, Sector 7-G, Zimbabwe, The Moon, Betelguese ... anywhere else?

I didn’t vote for it but clearly most the country did. I can’t control the stupidity of the people and as a result they will now get to listen to the same stupidity they’ve been saying for the last four years.

Maybe at some point we’ll learn the biggest threat is the media. I don’t know if I believe in the intelligence of the people though.

Wakanda, I believe.
