If at this point Covita still has you confused with his baloney

Either 100s of local and state officials across a half-dozen states, numerous judges in those same states, and countless voters are all acting in concert to perpetuate a massive conspiracy that subjects most of them to potential felony charges

OR

Trump Lost.

Here’s a little secret for you.
Americans vote for Congress and the President on the same ballot!

Since Republicans accept the results of House & Senate Congressional elections, they obviously know this is a legitimate election.

It’s time for them to act like it.

President is national, congressional is by state. Also split tickets. Also fraudulent ballots.

I worry that we're about to get a very vivid lesson in why having a long lame-duck period in politics, where a defeated president still wields full presidential power, is dangerous.

And there is always a tweet


Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: "In my opinion, it is humiliating. One must be able to lose with dignity." So true!

I'm just astonished that Trump last night, standing behind the presidential seal, went off on the most anti-democratic, anti-American and anti-truth rants likely in the history of any elected office and not a single Trump supporter here has anything to say about it.

So sad.

They have joined Tweety, the impeached one term president in the bunker, hopefully they didn't drink the koolaid.

Next they will claim that obviously Trump wasn't a racist or misogynist, he put a black woman in the White House...........

I see it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.

And before that, they controlled the House, and wrote then pushed through tax cuts that greatly expanded the deficit.

Now the arsonists, employed by the fire department, are extremely concerned about the house fires.

That's part of the swamp. You conveniently left out the rest of it. It will all be coming back. And America will be "normal" again.

Sad but not surprising, the right decided to go down with this ship years back and to listen to our president spew crazy conspiracy theories without major pushback is just proof the Republican Party doesn’t know what to do and still is spineless. It’s not just the fact that he is going to loose the electoral, think about how the Republican Party must be contemplating how they could loose the popular vote in every race but maybe one.

Trump or Trump lovers cant explain Michigan Wisconsin Georgia Nevada ,Pennsylvania Utah . all fraud? but any place he won no fraud? look at the logistics needed to coordinate this fraud claimed by Trump and his Minions 159.8 million Americans voted and counting ! How many people how many separate ballots, ballots for different counting systems across the Nation and in 7 or 8 states and the coordination required its pure Fantasy... Yet Trump Lies with out a shred of evidence of the fraud in a scale never seen or imagined except by him and his supporters , half the county think the above is what happen? is lunacy to think its True .. yet if Trump ends up winning their would be no memes no FB book stories no concern over the election no mention of fraud as a concern in our elections.. Why is that? if your an honest person you know why ... Just saying

heres another Question maybe the Trump enablers can explain ps I would love to ask Ted Cruz the same question

this Fraud cry from Trump. its 99% a Trump era Narrative .. All I am saying is 14 guys couldn't even kidnap Governor Whitmore 14! couldn't keep a secret with out the FBI knowing about it .. but some one or some secret Group can rig a National Election across several states . and its only exposed? when Trump started to lose ..(was he with holding back intelligence on this outrage ) with watchers from both sides in the same room? sorry it doesn't add up or pass a basic smell test or the simplest application of critical thinking or basic common sense on how things operate

Trump should be charged with Sedition

Trump lost this election not on policies, but on character.
I pray that this is a lesson for every aspiring politician, forever.
Along with that was his incompetence, but with Trump, his incompetence was inextricably intertwined with his complete lack of character.

You really shouldn’t wear the tin foil conspiracy hat all day, give your brain a break, it’s hard to absorb stuff that crazy. Quite the well organized conspiracy, involving local state government, local AG’s and local poll works and all under the oversight of observers from both parties.

You mean like the steady drip of conspiracy about Trump colluding with Russia that the honored legacy media which you trust kept reporting and claiming--which all turned out to be a hoax?

and forwarding Trumps claims and Fox... Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Milwaukee, give Democrats the most fertile ground for corruption in their favor!!

I think what upsets Trump and His Supporters the most is those areas are predominately Areas of people of Color .. And how dare they vote to remove the man who has done the most for them

So you have this racist opinion that all blacks voted for Biden and there are not significant number of white folks in those cities. And yeah, those cities have had checkered pasts of corruption in their history. And they have strong Democrat political machines running them.


Armed men arrested in Philadelphia were trying to deliver fake ballots

we can catch 2 clowns from VA with Qanon sympathies with a truck load of fake ballots in an attempt to stage a ballot dump

But we cant find the fraud that Trump and You claim is happening
C'mon man! There have been votes cast for Trump found thrown away. And it is documented by a large number of Republican ballot watchers in Philadelphia being denied their legal ability to to actually be able to witness if ballots were legitimate. It appears that also happened in other cities as well.

And well done fraud, even if it is in your face and obvious, is difficult, if not impossible, to prove. I suspected shortly after 11PM election night (when Trump was comfortably ahead in the states he needed to win and the counting was stopped in MI, WI, and PA, and would begin the next day, and very shortly after 11PM that Biden had a televised announcement that he was sure of victory and that he even would win PA even though he was almost 800,000 votes behind) that the election was over and Biden would win.

Why stop the counting at 11PM? Maybe to set in motion plan B if Biden was behind in order to switch the legit counting and coordinate the plan to rig the process in order to keep "counting" until you magically got the number needed to win? Yeah, dumb conspiracy me, I concluded at about 11PM election night, even though Trump was ahead, that Biden would "win."

And that is not whining, it is just fact. Move on toward the midterms and take over the House while keeping the Senate--which, ironically, might help Biden if the Repubs can block the economy destroying moves he plans and the economy keeps the rapid recovery and beyond. But I think, if the Dems carry out their promise to rescind everything Trump has done, the economy will stagnate into the Obama era "new normal," and military spending may somehow be curtailed, and the tariffs on China will be lifted and it will be allowed to continue in full force its objective to dominate the world and make us dependent on it.

If you want to get another, and intelligent, opinion besides the sources that have mislead you in other respects, read this article by Brian T. Kennedy titled Facing Up to the China Threat--https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/facing-china-threat/ . Or remain blissfully ignorant.

Leaders from our allies around the world are sending congrats and a thank god and Trump and his boot liking GOP are silent, probably gasping for air as their ship sinks.

Donald Trump Celebrates Most Ever ‘Legal Votes’ for Sitting President Take a ride over to Breitbart. And witness the melt down .. I love this excuse. Since when do news networks choose The President. Funny it was acceptable in 2016 when media outlets called it for Trump now not so much 🙈
