I care about the number of cultists - like yourself - that are swallowing Trump's lies and are willing to place him above the interests of the country. There was no Russia "hoax". That's just another example of you swallowing the lies. When the states certify the results it will be a valid election, just like every other election. The media enjoys calling it, but it isn’t official until the states say it is a valid election, hence, the investigation. It’s a candidate’s right to do so as laid down in the constitution.

What do you mean "hence the investigation"? Simply because the validation process is still pending is no reason to file frivolous lawsuits claiming election fraud. Trump is simply refusing to admit he lost. As a result, he's delaying the transition process and hurting the country. He's using this to raise money for himself and his fellow rethuglicans, the country be damned. You should be ashamed of yourself for swallowing it.

Yes, Trump refuses to concede, he is taking Hillary’s advise to Biden earlier in the year “never concede”. I’m not swallowing anything. I’m letting the process play out.

The Putin think is as old and ridiculous as is the Hitler think. Yeah, whom should I believe - my own eyes and ears or you? And under Trump and his accomplices (the GOP) the "checks and balances" built into our system both formal and tradition have been greatly diminished. I don't think we would have withstood a second term of this authoritarian. And it's people like you that would have made it possible. Regarding "Putin think" you need to educate yourself. Putin is absolutely committed to diminishing the global role and stature of democracy in the world and the United States in particular. That's exactly why he supports Trump. Trump is doing his job for him: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/05/opinions/russian-democracy-is-a-farce-kasparov/index.html You are dangerously ignorant.

I guess it's not his responsibility huh? In case you haven't noticed there's been an election which is now being contested as fraudulent. But having said that, I am seeing plenty of coverage on the pandemic and it is very concerning. Perhaps you need to try new news sources. I am seeing plenty of coverage.

DKW 86 7,359 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 You two need to sit down and get over it. Trump is gone and both of you need to just admit it and move on. THE BALLOT BOX took him out. Just like every other time in US History. 4 years of screaming like a howler monkey did nothing. 4 Years of wild ass accusations,. etc. no impeachment, not anything really other than his own incompetence. He is gone, finished, etc, We will move on and forget him soon enough. He will be in the media soon enough to keep everyone fed. Gore fought the recounts until 12-13-2000. I figure before that date, Trump will give up too. He will act like the spoiled child he has always been along the way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just amazes me that most of the US understands this, but Biden followers seem very upset and astonished that Trump would do exactly what he did. They have been saying this for months and are shocked that it happened. I take full responsibility for the back and forth as I should have realized several posts back that he always has to have the last word. My apologies.

First, I'll point out the obvious logical fallacy: That I didn't remember Biden's position on something is a statement of fact. (But to be more precise, my recollection was that all of the free-tuition proposals were made by Sanders, not Biden.) But if it makes you feel better, I will plead guilty to having a relatively poor short term memory. (Oh btw, nice "crawfishing" on the free/subsidized tuition proposal.)
