[Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Nope, nope.... I'm afraid it's gonna turn ugly this time. This is my favorite quote from Donald Trump, Jr. “This isn’t their Republican Party anymore. This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party,” he proclaimed. “If you’re gonna be the zero and not the hero, we’re coming for you and we’re going to have a good time doing it!”

Seal. Baby seal.

I think the R's in congress will make just enough of a stink today to try and appease the masses, then the vote will be certified and we'll have a new President on 1/20. I think last night's loss will drain any wind remaining in the sails of those guys. It's done. *Edit* I've got a high school friend that is a nice democrat (She was a "I'm with Her" in 2016, not an "Eff Trump" if you know what I mean) and I messaged her congrats on the Thursday after the election. The writing was on the wall.

I'm not celebrating anything. I'm irritated. No, I'm angry.... but I'm not misplacing that anger on people who rightfully didn't like Trump and voted against him. I'm angry at the guy who went out of his way to be so unlikable (to the delight of his supporters) that he got trounced in the general election and his continued actions have led to the loss of our last check/balance, the Senate. If Trump concedes in early December and makes nice, the Senate is still ours. More importantly, his actions have alienated so many people who might never vote "R" in the future... long after Trump is dead and gone. Just because "R's" are the party of that buffoon.

They don't, but even if they did, who could blame them? Trump's been busy insulting, ridiculing, threatening and blaming them every step of the way. I have no clue why Ted Cruz would stand up for Trump today after Trump was so horrible during the '16 election. Unless Cruz is hoping that the drooling Trump knuckledraggers like yourself might somehow latch onto him (Cruz) in 2024.

You're part of the problem. The Repubs were behind Trump. The FBI and DOJ are headed up by people appointed by Trump who have supported Trump in the past. The SCOTUS has an R majority that was heavily picked by Trump himself. But now they've all TDS because they won't stand next to Trump as he spouts his false allegations? Your man lost. Grow up and get over it. The worst bunch of sore losers that I've ever seen in my life.

They just don't see it, man. This is what happens when you elect a jerk. I'm literally gonna go on record as saying that the base of the right is just as dumb (if not dumber) than those people people on the left that always vote for the guy/gal who promises them the largest gifts from the Treasury. "B-b-b- but the economy?!!!" Maybe, but look at the fallout. He could have gotten even more done if he wasn't such a repulsive person. The fallout from this mess will be felt for a decade or more, IMO. The Senate seats that are up for grabs in 22 are predominantly red. There's not gonna be much hope in recovering the Senate. The trick will be for statehouses (there are more Republican-controlled states than Dem) to bulldog redistricting so that the revised districts will favor better republican house representation and possibly wrestle the house in 22. Possibly. It's such a long shot. And if Trump is on TV every day proclaiming that he was robbed and planning to run for re-election, that's gonna be a bloodbath for republican candidates then, too. I just hope that the Dems (with unchecked power, excepting the Supreme Court) can't do so much damage in the next few years that our way of life is lost. If you take the politicians and policies that destroyed every major city in the US and impose them throughout the rest of the country, it's hard to imagine that we ALL won't be dealing with higher crime, higher taxes, crumbling infrastructure, and a departure from Christian values. All in the name of "social justice" and "paying your fair share" to those who aren't willing to do for themselves. There will be a repeal of those "Trump" tax cuts, and regardless of what they say, it's gonna knock the crap out of people making under $400,000, too. There will be a student loan forgiveness plan that will shift that debt onto people who couldn't even afford to go to college, an expansion of public healthcare, and a crippling of speech critical of the left's policies, IMO. Our area will be hit especially hard because of our ties to the petrochemical industry. I can still remember what it was like down here in '81. I just think that we're going to have slow, stagnant recovery from the pandemic under D rule like we did after the Housing Crisis under Obama. I'm not happy today. The problem isn't just in votes that are lost in this cycle, it's the perception of the Republican party that he's destroyed. Not only does the other side and undecideds rightfully despise us because of the candidate that we elected, he's made it a point to excoriate his own party, leaving a huge fracture between the diehard trump supporters and the Rs who won't support Trump regardless of his actions. The party fractured can't beat anybody. Trump needs to be gone, muy pronto.

Trump turned out to stump for the Senate candidates in Georgia on Monday. This is his opening. That might fly and get cheers from the diehard Trumpers... you know, the ones with the flags, but it does NOTHING to get votes that you need. Trump never figured out that doing stupid crap that fires up your base (which is less than half of the population) while flipping the bird at the other party and undecideds is a guaranteed path to defeat. Today is going to be an embarrassment watching Republicans who don’t believe a bit of his “stolen election” BS object to certification in an attempt to win over the Trumpers for future elections. All Trump managed to do was bring in a lot of politically unwashed voters who will slink back behind their TVs and not vote in future elections while simultaneously alienating millions and millions of other actual voters (young, Hispanic, moderates, undecideds) who might not ever vote Republican again based on our association with that clown. Trump was a failure, not just by his leadership, but more importantly by the way that he destroyed the Republican/conservative side of the nation’s future over the next few election cycles. I just hope that the worst of the violence is over quickly.

Two Trumpers die in the violence following this election and go to Heaven. They ask God if he’d answer a question. “Of course,” God says. They ask how the Democrats rigged the Presidential Election in 2020. “It wasn’t rigged” God replied. The Trumpers look at one another and say “This conspiracy goes higher than we thought!”

And now the violence is starting in DC. Trump has them whipped into a frenzy with his whole “stolen election” BS. If a person really believes that our election process is broken, then they SHOULD revolt... that’s the danger in claiming that an election was stolen when it wasn’t. I guess now people get to die for the sake of Trump’s ego.

It’s over. Clean sweep. I’ve never been so disgusted. That guy will go down as the President that brought in the era of socialism in the US. Absolutely the most devastating President for conservatives, ever.

Lololol.

They’ve recounted 3 times. 3 times. The Republican GA governor says it’s all legit. The Republican SOS in Georgia says it’s legit. The Republican head of elections in GA says it’s legit. The US Attorney William Barr (who defended Trump agains the Russian Collusion claims) says there was no fraud. The Georgia Bureau Investigation says it’s legit. The Federal Bureau of investigation says it’s legit. Countless other elected officials and election workers in Georgia say it’s legit. Now either EVERY SINGLE ONE are wrong, or Trump is. Why don’t you do a statistical analysis on that fact?

Both Dem Senate candidates are winning in Georgia. This has been in the works for just over two months. Trump literally called Kelly “Karen” today. He didn’t even care enough to learn her name. He’s virtually destroyed any chance that we had of keeping the Senate. I actually had a friend (diehard Trumper) wonder aloud if Trump’s antics might have hurt the Republican candidates chances with his antics.... well, I’ll put it like this. Republicans won the presidency and both houses in 2016 and lost them all in four years. Even Obama couldn’t pull that off after ‘10. I’m curious to see how the rest of the returns look, but that’s a bad start with 26% reporting.

You left out the part about how hated trump is. That’s a factor that you refuse to acknowledge. Secondly can you explain your “20% for Biden” claim? I’m not sure what you’re comparing. Thanks.

Affidavits are what Nancy Pelosi famously called "merchandising the lie." Somebody swears out an affidavit alleging a misdeed, and the affidavit is used as proof that the misdeed occurred. It's not. EVIDENCE. Photos. Videos. Ballots. Tangible things. Not just a bunch of pinky promises made by partisan hacks.

Dude... there are no affidavits. They keep talking about affidavits, but they never actually turn them in when it's time to present evidence in ANY of the 50+ suits that have been filed. And I'll be honest, an affidavit is a long way from actual proof. It's just an allegation. In fact, I just swore one out that says I saw you humping a goat. Leave me alone goat-humper. It's an affidavit, so it must be true, you sicko. Goat Humper.

Jesus Christ. Loving County in Texas has a population of 169. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 50 people voted. How many million people voted in Harris County? The number of counties won or lost doesn't mean a danged thing in the grand scheme of things.

It's been really hard to explain to you what happened there. I can't tell if it's because you're incapable or just unwilling to understand the statistics. In 2016, there were 230 million eligible-aged voters in the US and 136 million turned out and voted. That's a participation rate of 59.5%. In 2020 we had 258 million eligible-aged voters in the US and 160 million actually voted. That's a participation rate of 62.0%. Statistics backed up by simple math. That's a "slightly larger turnout" but not at all unexpected based upon the divisiveness in our country today. [Hidden Content] Now, if you can think back to 2016, the big story was that the Democrats just didn't turn out and support Hillary like was expected. It's not like they voted for Trump, they just didn't show up and vote. The turnout was legitimate in 2020. The D's didn't turn out to vote for Biden, they turned out to vote against Trump. The fact that our voting participation has grown explains why Biden (and Trump, btw) got more votes than in previous elections. Newsflash.... Every single president elected has gotten more votes than any previous President. It's called population growth. You're getting hung up on the fact that Biden got more 20 million votes than previous candidates as fraud when in fact it's what had to happen. It's what's happened in every single presidential election up until now.

You mean this guy? [Hidden Content] J. Hutton Pulitzer, (aka "Commander Pulitzer") formerly known as J. Jovan Philylaw, a failed inventor and former treasure hunter by trade? Then by all means, let's just admit that Trump won immediately? Shoot maybe he can write a book about it. [Hidden Content] That's a list of books he's published. That's whose opinion you're quoting as fact. Y'all will literally believe anything. Anything.

NO. And here's why. In a state like Georgia where it's NOT 100% democrat controlled, you can't get away with widespread fraud. The head of elections in Georgia is a Republican. The Governor is Republican. The Secretary of State is Republican. I'm certain a large percentage of their local elections officials are Republicans. There were tons of poll workers that were Republicans. And whether you want to admit it or not, most Democrats are good people and won't stand for cheating, either. You can't pull off widespread fraud under those watchful eyes. It's the same in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, etc.... You MIGHT get away with fraud in an area where there are no checks/balances, but that's not the type of locations that we're talking about. There are people who were there (and voted for Trump) that say it didn't happen. There are people from all stations in life all of the way up to the US Attorney General who continue to say that widespread fraud didn't occur... but some people just can't accept that because some guy claims he drove a truckload of ballots from NYC to PA, then admits lying about it, then lies about lying about, then lies about lying about lying about it.... but he never managed to snap a picture of anything. But you'll accept his account at face value. Another point... If the election were to happen today, Trump would lose by 20 million plus votes.... he's just been that big of a douche in the aftermath. He's insulted everybody that voted for or against him at this point. The Democrats didn't win, they cheated. The Republicans are all sorry for not ignoring the law and election results by proclaiming Trump as the president... even if it means lying or disenfranchising millions and millions of legal votes. In Georgia Trump's team wanted to throw out every single mail-in ballot. That's was the hoped for outcome of their lawsuit.... each and every mail-in ballot gets tossed. No American Judge of any political affiliation is going to agree to that.

Its the same as the Republican Senate refusing to confirm Obama's Supreme court nominee in 2016 because "that should be left up to the next President," but rushing through Trump's nominee at the last minute in 2020. They are infinitely flexible when it suits their cause.

Oh, I agree that Russian Collusion was a lie. What happened to Kavanaugh was wrong as well.

I know...
