Trump rigged the 2020 election and STILL lost. That's why he's so mad about it.
Fact is, if his opponents were all white men, he would never win at all.
And staged a coup and fucked that up.
You guys nailed it. He's so grrrrr buttmad because of that. When he kept going on about how he'll be "your" retribution, it was more about his revenge fantasies against anyone that stood in his way.
This is both accurate and upsetting, and a step further, had he lost in 16, to anybody. I don’t think he’d have had a chance in 20 if he even ran.
A democrat would have been torn apart over COVID no matter how they handled it.
I think you’re right to a degree, I do think Covid wouldn’t have been AS bad as under Trump. And the GOP still could’ve marched right into a win in 2020, but those years prior when he was president were still extremely damaging to both the sanity and structure of this country. The Supreme Court nominees alone would leave us in a wildly different state not to mention everything else he did to fan the flames of xenophobia and bigotry
Yeah, those three supreme court picks were everything.
The issue is that doing the right thing and doi g the popular thing are often two different things. Covid almost certainly would've been better under Democrat control. It very well could cost them politically though. You can't really compare hypothetical deaths to actual ones, so they wouldn't have a number to tell people they saved. A lot of people would have just complained that they're being forced to do things they don't like, even if it's good.
Yup, When preventive care works it's difficult to explain why it's necessary to the uninformed
Yeah, but then we would've just gotten a regular old run-of-the-mill jerk-off Republican like Romney or Jeb next, and we would have spent the next 4-8 years saying "holy shit, this guy is so awful, how could it be any worse," just blissfully unaware.
How do I immigrate to that timeline?
I dunno, he would mop the floor with Bloomberg. And he did beat a handful of white men in primaries, though I can see why we'd discount primary victories for obvious reasons
Trump Vs Bloomberg.... It hurts my brain
They've had half a decade to fabricate it, let's see if they used the time well.
There's definitely a concept of a plan... to get started planning... Or is that health care? We're two weeks away from a plan!
Well if Kirk "shooter" evidence is any indication of their competence at fabricating evidence.....
Thats always the funny thing about this stuff. They COULD have faked it by now, and probably in a way that would be convincing to their base, but you know they are too stupid and lazy to have actually done that.
Really? Because I'm pretty sure if he actually had it it would be released by now
This, you can be sure of. If there was evidence it would have been blasted across the airwaves by now and most likely before the 2024 campaign. A lot more Democrats would have lost in 2022, 2024, and even coming up in 2026, if there was actually any evidence...
This is just your standard boilerplate "every accusation is a confession" from the GOPedo.
It was just ~~uncovered~~ fabricated.
He meant to say "despite widespread fraud." He can't release it because his boss's name is on it.
Are we still talking about the 2020 election, it's the 2000 election we should talk about, or maybe the 1980 one.
Fuck them hanging chads
Hang all the Chads
You do know that the hanging chad thing was just a smoke screen to distract people from the Brooks Brothers riot which was a bunch of Republican operatives actively trying to stop a recount in Florida by chanting outside the room where the recounting was happening.
Patel – who was hit by allegations of alcoholism this weekend, sparking rumors he could soon be fired – told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures: “We have the information that backs President Trump’s claim.
Dusting off one of the greatest hits for yet, ANOTHER distraction.
Well, whaddaya want, they don’t know how to do their actual jobs. Chaos is all they’ve got.
Let him cook. This is how we learn about the exact details of how Trump fixed the 2024 election
Under pressure, but what about under oath?
He's already lied under oath (e.g. about how many times Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files). Him being depositioned wouldn't mean squat.
For a second there I thought this was Old Gregg.
This guy has definitely drank Baileys from a shoe….
I can certainly see him drinking bailey’s from a shoe.
Nah, Old Gregg has standards or at least some kind of code he lives by.
Lying to Congress. Add it to the list.
Sure buddy, let's see the files on those hanging chads in Florida while you're at it, Bush lost too, you fucking losers.
it still think about the world that could have been. 911 being a footnote about a terrorist plot that came close and the world managing to stay under 1.5
That evidence must be at the bottom of a whiskey barrel because the man drinks like he's trying to read it.
In all fairness he was drunk when he made that claim.
2024 was objectively tampered with. i wish that was more of a constant story and headline, because it is not only 100% true but it is demonstrable and we could overturn the results if it was acknowledged by literally goddamn anyone outside of the, FOR SOME REASON, small amount of people who are in the know.

as a skeptic, i wouldn't be desperately trying to get people to accept a reality without there being substantial evidence of it being the case. the ETA is led by experts and professionals in data research, computer analysis, and statistics, but anyone with concerns is able to join and contribute, though the major forces though will have some sort of technical skill to provide credibility. their data and methodology is freely available for peer review and they encourage it. i have watched them speak with professors and respected field experts who have come away agreeing something is up with the 2024 election results. if i'm missing some sort of information about these folks and their group then let me know because i am not finding any red flags and this all seems legit.
Ok, it's 100% true, and everyone acknowledges it. What existing mechanism would you suggest we use to overturn the election?
IIRC this is the biggest issue with any "stolen election", we have zero legal remedy for the situation. Once the electors votes have been recorded in Congress, kinda a done deal until the swearing in and then it's concrete. It would take impeachment and conviction to remove the president, then the VP would take over, so they would also have to be impeached, then on down the line. There is no lever labeled "Pull In Case of Fuckery", which maybe should be at/near the top of the list should we ever escape MrToads Wild Ride.
Umm... so release what you got? He obviously is full of shit. Lol
Uh-huh. Sure. If I were a betting man, I would put my life savings into Kash being a liar. Probably get $0.01 for winning, considering the odds.
But we can't show this evidence in court, for reasons.
I would buy that there is evidence that the Republicans attempted to steal the election.
Sûre they do! It's right over there with the Famous Epstein Client List Pam Bondi said she had!
Go home Kash, you're drunk.
