    Somebody broke into San office and put their feet on a desk. You are blowing it out of proportion.

    LOL! I have to chuckle at how some folks feel the need to urgently defend the crooked election of Biden. Everyone knows the election was rigged. There is plenty of proof. The one thing that clinches it for me is that there is no way Biden got more votes than Obama. That fact alone proves many, many Biden votes are bogus.

    So your big “proof” is that you can’t believe that Biden got so many votes?
    A lot of those votes weren’t for Biden, they were against trump. You are so besotted by dirty donny that you can’t see that the majority of the country thought he was a disaster.

    He was so awful that it motivated millions of people to vote, who had not voted before. For a lot of people he really was that bad. The results of the election are entirely consistent with the polls that were conducted during his entire presidency. He never achieved an approval rating as high as 50%. Not even once.

    Your feewings aren’t proof. There is not a single shred of evidence of fraud on a scale that would change the election. None.

    He lost fair and square.

    Bill Barr realise late in the game that traitors usually end up in jail or in front of a firing squad. What was in it for him to continue?

    Let's not mistake his withdrawal as sympathy. It was self-preservation.

    Well stated.

    Strange how some just cannot accept the results s of the election........and the democratic process. This last election has been checked , litigated and double / triple checked. It was perhaps the most valid election ..........and yet some want to surrender democracy and the current system for one cult hero.... someone with authoritarian traits........ie a strong man type.

    wondering how many sets of numbers there are about the election.

    Gotta wonder what set of numbers the Trump supporters used to continue their belief that the election was rigged...


    We all know who tried to "rig" the election in his favor and still cannot accept that he lost.

    Kinda feel sorry for trump in a way........ as his grasp of reality is frail at times. He cannot deal with facts that do not favor him.

    Here are the facts.

    Several Biden counties have been audited

    No Trump counties have been audited

    Biden's vote total therefore is more legitimate than Trump's

    This fact cannot be disputed

    Hold your horses, man. Can you point me in the direction for where you got the impression they need evidence from Orange Jesus?

    Obama's "real" birth certificate
    Hillary in jail
    Super, duper, better than ever health care plan
    Tremendous things are happening
    We're shutting COVID down. "It's going to be fine".
    "It will go away without the vaccine."
    "I take no responsibility at all."


    https://trumpsbrokenpromises.org/

    "I won't have time to golf when I'm POTUS.".

    Image12.jpg




    And, alas, my personal favorite. I had my fingers and toes crossed that he'd at least keep one promise. Instead, he's out crashing people's weddings and crying in his nappy because we fired him. I guess because he's functionally illiterate, he wasn't aware of the details of "at will" employment.

    Image13.jpg

    Why would they agree with that? They are willfully rewriting the rules to keep him in the game. They don't care about democracy. That was never on the negotiating table.
    Trump was in over his head. He isn't a leader. He's a bully and while that works very well in one's private business, it doesn't fly in government. There are too many checks and balances and he's not used to being told "Hell, no".

    And, you are correct. My best guess is that he *knew* he could not be re-elected mid-Spring some time. He didn't make any effort to encourage people to stay calm and he would get us through it. Instead, he spent time "being sarcastic" with comments (on a live microphone) mentioning UV lights and disinfectants leading the poisoning and death of many people. Like it or not, nobody should be getting medical advice from a person with no medical experience, training or knowledge. He was very careless to do that and instead of taking a step or two back, zipping his lips and showing a unified Administration hell-bent on getting us through, he shrugged his shoulders, had all kinds of germ-sharing rallies and undermined every effort to bring us together to fight through this pandemic. He even b!tched about Democrat governors. He bitched about Lewis' death and claimed to not know the man other than he didn't attend his inauguration.

    And, I want to believe that all his supporters are not insane but I don't understand why they require NOTHING from him. They are "the victim" in this very public domestic violence situation. They are excusing and enabling him in whatever mental health crisis he's been having for about...wait, no, he's been b!tching since the 2016 election and did not make one tiny move toward addressing what he called "election fraud," He had 4 years to address that and didn't and he didn't because it's only an imaginary fairy tale in is head. I have to give some props He's got his con down cold. Non-billionaires are sending a billionaire money to the tune of $$$MILLIONS$$$ PER MONTH. I'm an honest and trustworthy person but I'd tell a big lie if I was raking that in every month. ;-)
    I'm going to assume that you already know that some of the people we're communicating with (wherever on the internet) were part of that sh!t show.

    And, I've been thinking about this forever and a day. Why don't any of them have a tiny bit of doubt about his motives when he refuses to pay Giuliani and he has turned his back on those Patriots who believed he was telling the truth about the extent of Pence's role in certifying the ballot counts and trusted him? It's been a year and 6 days. Have you been able to get any of them to answer that? I haven't. I haven't even heard any of their lovely spins and deflections on that question. I also haven't heard any of them say anything about a POTUS that says he respects law enforcement. To date, he has not acknowledged any of the injured and dead police officers present that day. In fact, he refused to call for back-up while we all watching in horror as those people were beating the hell out of several officers. And, the *only* thing on his mind was stopping the certification. He and Giuliani, both, called Senator Lee WHILE THE BUILDING WAS BEING BREACHED to implore him to stop the certification.

    Does that sound a POTUS that cares about his country or constituents?

    Does that sound a POTUS that cares about law enforcement?

    Does that sound like a person that wants to bring us together?

    Does that even sound like an empathetic stranger on the street?

    He stood and watched and did nothing for hours. He put a target on Pence's back knowing it was a lie and he watched and waited and enjoyed that he could get that many people to do those things and then step back over the line to have his attorney prepare a statement disavowing them and their actions. He turned his back on the men and women that believed he was their President. Their lives are forever changed. Sometimes I try to make sense of it and I think about them. I care. That's who I am. I picture them, probably scared and confused about how they ended up where they are. How they have all those lonely hours in prison questioning everything they ever believed about him. Missing their spouses and kids, not being able to run out for some ice cream or take a drive on a beautiful sunny day.

    Trump did that to them.

    He's not just responsible for his mismanagement of COVID. The blood of FIVE Capitol police officers, 1 rioter that committed suicide and all the people whose lives he's ruined is on his hands...and he has shown them exactly what he thinks of them. Nothing.

    What law are you citing? I've been reading up on Election Timelines and haven't seen that anywhere but in your post.

    The certified numbers show Biden won in a landslide.
    Any other conclusion is conspiracy theory crap.
    Learn to lose.

    270 electoral votes are required to win. Biden received 306. How do you rationalize that to constitute a "landslide"?

    No one serious about insurrection shows up at the Capital Building bare-chested, wearing furs and a Viking cap. They were there to share in the excitement of a protest, nothing more. The Democrats are trying to use this as their Reichstag fire moment to destroy their political opponents.

    I hate to tell you Dems, it ain’t working.

    I have no recollection of Trump calling 2016 a landslide victory, but if he did, one could legitimately call out that claim as being nonsensical.

    You need to speak for YOUR words. They are nonsensical. 306 in no manner, shape, or form constitutes a landslide. Such a claim is downright silly.

    Whether you remember it or not, he did make the claim.

    So it’s good that you call his claim “downright silly”. Of course it was.

    My comment was sarcasm aimed at dirty donny’s supporters. :rolleyes:
