You are wrong. And your hysteria helps the GOP.
It doesn’t move the needle. Just like anything else these past 4 years, whatever hypes up Republicans also has the same effect on Dems. Trump lost, the Dems’ voice was loudest by 5 million votes. And as you must know, if Dems don’t highlight this stuff, the base gets angry too. It’s not hysteria, it’s a perfectly normal reaction under these circumstances. It is only a joke to the right who love to see libs get owned. Btw - the rest of the world isn’t laughing with them either.

Curious - did you think reaction on the left to trump’s infamous “stand by” orders to white supremacists was hysteria?

You are tossing around the word hysteria a lot. What does that mean exactly? Do you mean not approving of his comments? I’m not exactly screaming into a pillow in my bedroom right now.
Any notion that Pompeo's remark was anything but a bad joke is hysteria.
He is the US SOS, please point to other similarly fragile situations in which previous SOS have “joked” like this. You can’t and you’re doing a poor job of trying to dumb down the seriousness of such an idiotic “joke”. There are 70 million people hanging on to hope and many on armed standby expecting their dear leader to remain in power. This is not a time to joke.
It’s not funny overall but the spelling error is a bit humorous.

Throw in one of the biggest losers of all time. No re election and lost the popular vote twice, which has never been “accomplished” before.
Benjamin Harrison lost the popular vote twice (both times to Grover Cleveland).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_HarrisonBut I think James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson must be smiling in heaven. They longer have to compete for the worst president in history.

The spelling error is hilarious. He is an idiot.

No.
100% Different.

You’re all alone here now Sally, watch out. Biff and Igy ran for their lives already.
A lot of you Libs/Dems here are great people. It is okay to differ politically. Again, most of you guys are very good people. A shame that Flagpole has to ruin the site with his his toxic filth. Rigged was called every name in the book maybe 10,000 by Flagpole yet Rigged never reciprocated in kind. Rigged was a very good person by all standards. He was conservative so you guys went after him with a vengeance. He is gone but don't forget him. Try to have some tolerance for those on the other side. Flagpole can call me outrageously stupid a million times but it means squat to me. LL said a while back nice to have differing viewpoints. Welcome that. Don't try to destroy someone who disagrees with you. Hope everyone enjoying holidays and best of health for family members.

Franklin Pierce also presided over no wars and general economic prosperity.
He's not ranked so high in case you were wondering.
Getting out of the Iran deal was perhaps Trump’s most idiotic decision.

But he *had* to--that was a deal that the *Obama* administration had put together.
I do hope that the Biden administration doesn't take a similarly blanket approach ("Trump did it! It must be reversed!"). Some things that Trump did should be--if not actually applauded--best left alone. A few recent stories suggest that Joe is intent on reversing a few things right away; I'm fine with that, as long as it doesn't become a wholesale negation.

Yes, that is probably what they'll say about Trump in the history books!

That's right! They were the original Trump/Pence combo too

Was thinking about this today, actually. With no election to be won, DJT has zero incentive to work on COVID, for just one example. What possible upside could there be for him? (I almost didn't include "for him" because something that doesn't help him personally is not an "upside" in his view, and I try to avoid redundancy.)
I could easily envision his spending the next few weeks holding rallies in deep-red states to a) thank his voters, b) get more money from them, and c) cement the notion that his re-election is being stolen from him. He certainly wouldn't have any *work* conflicts with those.

I don't think that Biden is stupid, petty and vain. As a result, I don't think what you are suggesting is even the slightest worry. Aint gonna happen.
