Folks making a big deal out of this ^ video are barking up the wrong tree.

Pompeo's comment that folks are focusing on ("There will be a smooth transition to a 2nd Trump term") was meant to get you folks to react the exact way that you are reacting. Nothing more.

Trump will certainly use every legal action (and probably a number of illegal ones) to try to stay in power. That is a given. But Pompeo is simply making light of the entire situation with his remark. He is not the bad guy here - at least not any more so than he has been simply for joining Team Trump. He is just a guy trying to do his job and keep a sense of humor in an absurd situation.

I HOPE you are right. I THINK you might be. Pompeo is still a bad guy though, even apart from his comment.

Agreed. I do have a problem with this taking over the headlines and adding to trump's attention grabbing, but this kind of thing has to be highlighted every single time.

1) Where did I say I didn't give a sh!t about anyone else? I didn't.

2) This whole thread...the biggest place on this site where I have posted the last 4 years has been my rebuke of Trump and his idiot followers. Not sure how that's all about me, but whatever, brother.

3) My house isn't white, and I have never said I am the least anything or the most anything. Any comparison to Trump is bogus.

Seems the general consensus is that even though most of us agree with your dislike of Trump, you're a self-righteous knob who can't admit they're wrong.

If everyone was saying it to me, my thoughts might be to sit down and consider the way I interact with others. Always time to learn and grow. I suspect you won't be doing that though.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Once again, I have admitted to being wrong about many things on this site. Go search for "unreservedly" and you will see. Because I have put that little gem in there, it is likely that I can prove to admitting being wrong about something here more than any other poster can.

I can "grow" a ton, and that will still not change the fact that I have no power to make any of you feel annoyed. Your feelings are your own.

Reminds me of a quote I remember from someone else:

"I think I'm much more humble than you would understand"

After 4 years of Trump, I am really tired of the , "he was only kidding" excuse for crass, inappropriate behavior. That excuse just doesn't fly anymore. This is too important of a topic.

Yeah, that's the correct attitude about this. You answered this better than I did. I sincerely hope my not-perfect answer didn't hurt anyone's feelings. Since you did it better than I did, I was WRONG in the way that I did it, so for that, I apologize unreservedly.

Love agip and flagpole's posts, intelligent and informative. But your exchanges here were a bit amusing. No one is above a bit a trolling in their posts. Let me repeat, no one is above a bit of trolling in their posts.

Agip was clearly trolling flagpole when he seemed to express shock and hurt in response to flagpole's basically innocuous comment about not caring if he annoys anyone. A little melodramatic asking flagpole if it's true he doesn't care about us.

Flagpole, bites and responds that he didn't say he doesn't care and that is a good person who just is motivated by the truth. Now I believe he is a good person, but Flagpole, I bet there is not one person reading this who thinks that you never phrase things in a certain way or make statements to purposely annoy others. I have no problem when you do post in a way to annoy(often it's funny), but if you are honest with yourself, you will admit what is obvious to everyone else. This of course does not mean you are not motivated by the truth. They are not mutually exclusive.

Are you guys following the Nevada “voter fraud”

claims of out of state voters illegally casting ballots? The Trump campaign basically referred a giant list of military spouses and college students to the justice department for “further investigation”.

The level of incompetence here is just astounding. Beyond the two examples listed above there are a million reasons why someone might be a legal Nevada resident but request a ballot be mailed out of state. Hell, my dad is a CO resident but spends 3-4 months a year in IL. What a freaking joke.

Well, then your brain might not be working optimally, because nothing I wrote there should remind you of that quote at all...just no comparison.

The next democrat who says ‘defund the police’ should be forced to watch 100 hours of Trump speeches.

The House barely stayed D.

The defund the police and along with pictures of rioting across the nation helped save the Republican party.

Convincing people that covid was just like the flu and the Democrats were going to shut down your place of work and ruin the economy didn't help either.

Funny enough I think if it wasn't for his disastrous handling of COVID he would have sailed to an easy win. His giant unforced error exposed him a little to much, it pushed the limits a bit too far for a lot of people. I agree the fear mongering over the protests definitely helped trump and the GOP more. This may not be the best example, but here are the 2016 vs 2020 election results for Kenosha, WI where Killer Kyle acted in "self defense":

2016: Trump: 46.85% / Clinton: 46.52%

2020: Trump: 50.71% / Biden: 47.57%

Given the GOP is so much better at spreading fear, this stuff really works in their favor.

Everyone else: It's fair to say you're not good at admitting you're wrong.

Flagpole: I think you'll find I'm the best at admitting I'm wrong, look, I can even prove it because I used unreservedly.

Here is where I will meet you halfway...I DO know that some of the stuff I post WILL annoy others, of course. I mean, I'm sure Sally isn't too keen on hearing the truth that he's outrageously stupid. So, being annoying to others is not lost on me. Where I maintain the pushback is that I do not post to annoy. I post facts and the truth and my opinion. If someone feels annoyed by that, then that is on them. I have no power to make someone feel anything. We are in charge of our feelings.

Frequently reminding Sally how outrageously stupid he is DID also have the desired effect...he had long periods of time when he didn't post here, and that was the goal. I was putting a stop to his nonsense. He admitted that he stayed away for periods because "the libs" here would only call him names. Goal accomplished.

Now that Trump has lost, Sally is more impotent than ever, and as I've already told him, I may post ABOUT him, but I will never directly converse with him ever again...well, unless he has an epiphany and admits to being a rotten human being and he is asking for sincere forgiveness.

I would go so far as to say Trump WOULD have won if he didn't so badly mishandle COVID-19. Allan Lichtman said Trump had only 4 keys against him before COVID-19, and he gained 3 more, which is one more than needed to lose, because of his mishandling of COVID-19. I agree with Lichtman's assessment there.

Nope.

1) Everyone else: You NEVER admit to being wrong.

2) Me: INCORRECT! And I can prove it.

Sorry, brother, but facts are facts. I win.

Like I said, it is a virtual impossibility that trump will overturn the election results. All of this is just to scam more trumpers with donation requests and keep their faith strong for when trump further monetizes them after he leaves officially.

The damage to our democracy is massive with the GOP and right-wing media enabling these accusations, but the right will keep doing it since they believe it helps them win elections.

This is all correct. I'll take it a step further and say its not "virtually" impossible, but absolutely impossible that the election results will be overturned.

Trump will make a little bit of money on their backs initially, but it will dry up very quickly.

And that is why you'll never learn. Anyway, I've got more important things to get on with.

You calling me outrageously stupid has absolutely ZERO effect on me. In fact I usually chuckle at your repeated insults. I feel sorry for you, however, and how you feel compelled to insult others here for simply disagreeing with you. This is a discussion forum where differing ideas are exchanged. To tell someone (and you have told many this) to "F*CK OFF - just very sad.

Would you girls please quit your bickering? This thread is about Trump, not you. Deep quoting a hundred posts arguing with each other isn't helpful, and truly no one cares about your fights with each other.

He learned it from the best. The entire Trump presidency and his minions have trolled the world for 4 years, har har har. As divided as we are this Pompus a$$ thinks it is cute to provoke the "crazy left?" So glad that he finds this situation funny though. Unfortunately most of Trump supporters won't get that this is meant to be a joke.

Can't wait for these lapdogs to get their marching orders in January.
