Well, that's ridiculous. I am nothing like Trump:
1) I am educated and got into college and graduate school without having someone take entrance exams for me.
2) I am not a narcissist.
3) I can and do admit to being wrong about things frequently. If you doubt me, search for "unreservedly" on this site and you will see several times where I did so. Trump NEVER admits to being wrong about ANYTHING.
4) I am kind.
5) I care about people other than myself (I even just gave Rigged an OUT if Biden is found to have cheated; I did that because I am fair and kind).
You’d rather perpetuate the argument and hand Rigged a phony OUT than admit you were wrong?
That’s the letsrunniest thing ever.
Nope. I admit I was wrong all the time about things.
Here are some relevant ones:
1) I was wrong that Kavanaugh would be seated.
2) I was wrong abut Don Jr. being charged criminally for his actions in 2016 (I DO believe that other charges against him are coming though).
I have NO problem admitting to being wrong. I said Hillary would win IF Trump didn't cheat...I also said aliens couldn't come down here and make us all vote for Trump. Well, Trump cheated. Pretty simple.
To call out cheating should never have to be done though which is why Rigged didn't need to state that. You can't state EVERY exception. What if the candidate dies before an election? It's not necessary to list all possible exceptions. Cheating should be a given. Can't cheat.
ENJOY YOUR LOSS.
So, this police officer was suspended without pay AND now he's facing a loss of his idiot President.

VERY stupid of him to do that.
So, reports out of the White House is that Trump is angry and frustrated and that the role of people in the West Wing is to try to get him to handle his anger.
How is that something we should accept from a President? He needs to have a team of people to help him manage his anger? What is he, a troubled teenager?
What a very flawed human being.

They've said he's getting about 80% or even more from the mail-in ballots.
I don't think we can assume anything about those outstanding ballots. What we were seeing before is that most of the mail-in ballots came from metro Atlanta counties. Until we learn more about those ballots, I'm not at all confident in how they will turn out.
Mostly if not all military ballots (not known votes) which are outstanding. One comment was that these ballots are likely going to end up being non returnees as current mail-ins are down to a mere trickle.

I can only assume that top republicans getting behind trump on the baseless allegations of fraud are those that want to run in 2024. If anything they are afraid of trump and his kids retaliating later.
A theory I've seen out there by many others. The insane tweet by Don Jr. referencing specific potential 2024 candidates in a call to arms yesterday, Nikki Haley for example, had this idea pop into my head as well.

Yep, there are about 8000 that could come in but they've only got a few hours to arrive, so not many will.
There are still supposedly 5000 from Gwinnett and a few thousand from Fulton still to be added on. If that's the case, Biden will have about a 5k lead when all is said and done.
It's garbage, but elected Rs are playing along so they don't anger the president.
cowards, all of them. Except ROmney.

Quick thoughts on the election:
Very pleased to see trump gone. worst president in history!!!!!
Normal republicans should be very pleased with the results of this election. they picked up seats in the house, did well at the state level, likely did not lose the senate, and are now released from supporting the albatross that was trump.
let trump quietly ride off into the sunset... no need to try to convict him of any corruption... all that will do is cause more unrest in the country which is the last thing we need.
finally even though i don't understand them, i had a few very good friends who supported trump. i can say that they were neither stupid or racist... again, i don't see why anyone would support trump but there is no need to argue with them about it. they are good people and good friends.
again... super happy trump is no longer the president... and i am very glad i was wrong about my prediction!

I'll give him a month before he starts up Trump TV network and appears as a guest on every segment

I posted about that earlier. This morning it was announced how many ballots were outstanding from four Georgia counties. They are Gwinnett (8197), Cobb (700), Floyd (444), and Laurens (1797).
Based on how each of those counties voted, Biden is expected to net 872 votes from those four counties. That would bring his lead from 1,562 to 2,434.
Then we add in military, provisional, and cured ballots. No idea how that will go but it shouldn't change the margin by more than a few hundred votes.

You might be right, but it will suck, even from the viewpoint of current Trumpers, and he will fail to make any money on such a venture.

He’s biff’s and Sally’s hero
I've just been on a pro-Trump Facebook page. The folks there are *absolutely convinced* that the election is being stolen for Biden. They will *never* believe that it was legit. There is no possible evidence that could change their minds. And there are tens of millions of Americans like them.
I compare it to the Obama-born-in-Kenya meme. Even though Donald Trump himself, four-plus years ago, said that "President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period," there are tens of millions who will never believe it. If you present them with one of the numerous YouTube videos that captured President Trump's statement, they just shrug it off: They switch to "blank out" mode, because they know what they *want* to be true and that's that.
These people vote. And many of them are armed.

And what if he is committing crimes, would letting him ride off into the sunset be the right thing to do? Or should we pretend he’s still above the law?

Which wouldn't be a good sign for the runoff.
The libertarian had an even bigger influence on the senate race. That's what kicked it into a runoff.

I was figuring if he started something like that, it would just fail, like his other businesses (an executive, he's not); but in fact it takes real money to start such a venture and I don't see how he could. Who would bankroll him? He has no funds.
