    Yes, that's one way to put it. I like revenge fantasy better.

    He might have had we had Twitter and Facebook in 2000. I don't even think 50% of households had internet twenty years ago.

    All I remember was round-the-clock cable news and a lot of print reporting. There certainly was "yelling" on a relative basis. With social media today, we can just "yell more loudly".

    Well my question was "Ah, so you agree with Hillary that the election was "stolen" from her?"

    No I don't agree that the election was stolen from Hillary. Do you think the election was stolen from Hillary or do you think she lost fair and square?

    Worst than your side? That's a tough level to meet.

    My god. You're not getting it. You're asking me if I agree with somebody I never think about. Run that 'round your head for a moment.

    I don't recall Libertarians doing anything like this. But yes, your side has been far, far worse than the Dems about this. Their level of denial and insanity goes all of the way up to the ****ing Oval Office. A fact that I still see you are incapable of addressing. Hell, we've had people on this forum call for a military coup so that Trump can stay in power. That's far more insane, infantile, and unhinged than some SJW crying for the camera. Sorry.

    Nope. I've referred to my material. Feel free to muster the honesty to address it. But keep defending people calling for an actual military coup and keep defending your infant leader who is still screaming in all caps that he somehow won.

    "Independents"

    Your posting is virtually identical to any registered Democratic supporter, but you think saying that your independent matters. You've shown zero independence.

    Then I'll take Gore yelling fraud 20 yrs ago as a NO.

    tRUMP cried fraud 4 yrs ago, and he won. LOL.

    Trump falsely claims 'millions of people who voted illegally' cost him popular vote
    Washington (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump alleged Sunday, without evidence, that "millions of people" voted illegally for Hillary Clinton and otherwise he would have won the popular vote. It's an unprecedented allegation by a president-elect.

    Cries whether he wins or loses.

    I'm sure you do.

    I guess you are gathering user names for the Trump Accountability Project?

    Thats only the posts you read. I doubt you've read all 50,000 of my posts.

    I bet every Dem who voted in 2016 voted for Hilary.
    I voted neither. And didn't eve bother with 3rd party that time. Most of my pres votes are 3rd party. All but 2X. Oops, this year, was the 3rd time I went major party.

    Yes. We've heard this brainfart before. By not voting for Trump, we are voting for the Democrats. Which (warning: this requires a sliver of critical thought) would also mean that not voting for the Dems means that we are voting for Trump. Therefore, according to your garbage argument, not voting for either means we voted for both. You've shown zero capacity for critical thought or honest argument.

    Then I'm not sure what you are even commenting on because my comment was about she who shall not be named, the person you NEVER think about.

    I'm opposed to any military coup and I don't know any prominent Republican who is for it, however I do recall several Democrats calling for a military coup to oust Trump.

    @grichards, he's talking about the QAnon conspiracy theory that the assessment by all our intelligence agencies, plus the Mueller Report, plus the Republican Intelligence Committee investigation all of which confirm that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and that Trump obstructed the investigation... form part of some "conspiracy" by the "Deep State" to promote a pedophile ring of Cannibalistic Democrats... something like that. It's difficult to keep track of these conspiracy theories.

    Apparently it has been in what they call "news" pretty much constantly... You know... Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones....

    How many "prominent Democrats" called for a military coup? I can't think of any.

    I didn't make that argument. As a libertarian, you are irrelevant and basically have no stake in the direction of the country, but on this forum, your posting is identical to any Democrat, so thats a bit disingenuous.

    I provided a link in my post. Anyway, weren't you supposed to provide prominent Republicans who were for it?

    Okay, I see the problem here. I wrote, "Not because of massive voter fraud." Yes, I see how that can be interpreted as you are doing. My mistake.

    My comment wasn't meant to indicate I know what Clinton claimed, as I have no idea. Don't think about her. My comment is meant to show the contrast between election years, with no claims of massive voter fraud in 2016. What Hillary may have said wasn't my point. I'm showing the false equivalency being made between the two elections.

    The claim that my posting is identical to any Democrat is disingenuous. But I understand the new world order in which Trump's followers think that everything is about either blindly worshipping every action Trump makes or being a Democrat. And, yes, that's the argument you made: that being independent was basically the same as being a Dem. It's a dumb, dishonest argument. But hopefully you realize that now.

    No, because that was never my claim. Please read. Meanwhile, no, you've provided no link showing your claim that prominent Dems were calling for a military coup.

    Our President is a bit of an eccentric, isn't he? Good thing that his supporters loved how he worked hard to keep his platform promises, in spite of his quirky personality.
