Stop the counting I’ve won and if not I’m taking my ball and going home. Even his bud from NY couldn’t believe Trump claiming victory before a large majority of ballots were counted.

No, no, no... It’s stop counting in Nevada, Michigan and Pennsylvania! Keep counting in Arizona!!!

If I wasn’t on my phone I’d post Mortimer from Trading Places ‘turn those machines back on’ (in Arizona)

Even crazier when people show up to stop the count, when your behind in the race.

In 2000, George W. Bush had James Baker.
In 2020, Donald Trump has Rudy Giuliani.

And the problem with going to court for Trump is that judges require actual evidence — not just assertions — to support a claim. But the only available evidence of wrongdoing appears to be the USPS’ massive failure to deliver properly mailed ballots to Democratic-leaning polls.

What about poll-watchers saying they were denied access? I have no idea, none, if those claims have any validity whatsoever, and in all honesty, I hope that's not what happened, that's the last thing we need. But somehow you know they are lying?

You mean the poll watchers who couldn't get access because of a mob of Trump fanatics flooding the observation areas and pounding on windows screaming for the poll workers to stop counting?

Nope, that's not the claim everywhere. And even if that's the case, you stop counting, remove the mob, and then count correctly with observers.

Amazing how you and Pete have actual facts to refute every single claim, even the ones you don't know about yet.

I have zero interest in a legal battle. But it's worth pointing out how all of you, reflexively and thoughtlessly, side with the left 100% of the time, never any exceptions. Never. Not once, not ever, no exceptions.

I'm sure you were exactly this skeptical and dismissive when Al Gore filed suits.

Here, you can read about it in the NY Times...

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/01/u...enge-vote.html

"the lawsuit Mr. Gore filed Monday contesting Mr. Bush's victory in Florida"

Got anything else? Or are you good? Can you concede that Gore filed suit? Or are you unable to do that, because that would mean you should allow Trump the same right?

God you're gullible.

In 2000 you had real ballot issues where thousands didn't even know who they voted for, voting machines that were incompletely punching ballots, most of the networks calling the race for Gore prematurely and a final vote tally that triggered an automatic recount.

The situations couldn't be more different.

Amazing, this early on, you've had time to evaluate the validity of Trumps claims. Equally amazing, and I mean this is really shocking, you concluded that Gore had a legitimate complaint and Trump doesn't.

I have zero trouble picturing Trump filing frivolous, baseless lawsuits here. But I don't know anything about whether or not his accusations have any validity. Neither do you, obviously, but he has an (R) after his name, and to you that's literally all that matters.

It’s just that Covita’s really bad.
And if you look around you’ll find almost no elected Republic official standing with Trump right now regarding this ridiculous, anti-democratic & desperate plea. He has to rely on his kids and Rudy. This ship is sinking. No one want to go down with him.

If the vote comes in under a state's recount threshold or there's credible evidence of a process violation they can file, but so far most of what's happening is just throwing #^&#^&#^&#^& out there to see what sticks.

If Democrats are masters of committing fraud. How come they didn't flip the Senate but lost seats in the House ?..

If you just watched Trumps press conference and still back him.

Grow a spine please.

TRUMP and his family need to be arrested for sedition... inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or this nation and against anyone who opposes Him

Keep in mind Trump read his speech from a prepared text, which presumably means that a number of aides helped him compose this litany of lies and attacks on the integrity of America’s democracy.

Looking at his face and watching his eyes, I have a feeling that was a hand written set of prepared statements. I think if people had helped him write that, they would have come out and stood behind him.

The guy is alone. Pundits are abandoning him, senators are coming out and saying to count all the votes, it’s falling apart. People around him are pretty sure he’s gonna lose, and are gaining confidence back to speak truth to power.

Oooh 300 people tweeting stupid stuff, how enlightening that is thanks for the nothing burger. How about the nut job in the White House becoming so unglued and spouting crazy election fraud theories that every network dropped the coverage save one. When he looses and the courts throw all his BS crap in the trash where it belongs, I suspect a major meltdown is coming.

Steve Bannon video suggesting violence against Fauci, FBI Director Wray

Something like there heads should be put on spikes outside the white house as a warning



Donald Trump Jr. calls for ‘total war’ in clueless tweet

It’s time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!”

He's so smart his whole family are trying to turn the United States into their personal banana republic
