You’re sweet, thank you. I don’t know what it’s going to take for America to begin healing this madness. So many people are so invested in being awful, I don’t know if an overall sense of community is even possible now. It’s not going to get better even with Trump gone, not for a long, long time. I just would like to be able to leave the house or have the hubby or son leave and not worry about some asshole doing something with potentially deadly consequences. Or to drive down the damned road and not see trump flags and blue lives matter flags or any support for awful people doing awful things. I have hope GA will eventually turn blue-er, but rooting out the rot of corruption and hate of anything to the left of Atilla the Hun, is likely never to happen. Sigh.

I’ve been pondering this for some time. Don’t get me wrong; it looks like they tried to do it, in some places (see John Fetterman’s “guy in Forty Fort” for an example). But it was only in small numbers, and they clearly didn’t succeed. There weren’t any real discrepancies elsewhere. I’d say, as far as outright cheating in the election, they did not, though they may have considered how to do it. No, they rigged the election in a more insidious way - by preventing “those people” from showing up to vote at all.

I guarantee you that any careful audit of elections in certain places, such as Florida, will find that there are Republicans in power that won through outright fraud. Not just vote suppression, but vote totals changed, ballot stuffing, discarding of opposing votes, etc.

Again, sorry ‘bout the embedded fake Trump press release treat.
But in my defense:
He’s spent his entire life surrounding himself with yes-men, toadies, sycophants and ass-kissers. Now he’s gotten high on his own supply.Even the Electoral College formalizing Biden’s win “did not appear enough to shake Trump from his delusions of victory,” CNN says, “but it is adding urgency to a push by several of his advisers to gently steer Trump toward reality.” Discussions of Trump’s post-presidency future tend to go nowhere because Trump “all but shuts down,” CNN reports. “In his moments of deepest denial, Trump has told some advisers that he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day, only to be walked down from that ledge. The possibility has alarmed some aides, but few believe Trump will actually follow through.
re: #64 PhillyPretzel
At least he knows what a cyber security breach looks like and what it means.
Remember Trump saying Barron was a hacker and Rudy was going to advise him on this? Seriously I don’t expect Biden to be an expert on this but I do trust him to A- prioritize it and B- have people around him who do understand this quite well.
In what would be an act of defiance of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) suggested on video that he will challenge the Electoral College vote on January 6, while campaigning for the GOP Senate incumbents in Georgia
