Great article. This quote makes me wonder, though: "The majority of people who make such declarations understand that in fact, Trump did not win, that he received fewer votes than his opponent, and that the Electoral College result reflects that loss."

I am truly curious what percentage of the Trumpers throwing out accusations of election fraud really do understand that he lost.

Stabbings in DC. Shooting in Wash St.

Any idea which side was stabbed and which side did the shooting?

Weren't his complaints here that, like, he demanded Section 230 action and that the memory of the Confederacy not be messed with or else he'd Defund The Troops? And now that it's time to follow through on this threat, he's claiming he has to, to save us from...China?

Is anyone here fluent enough in Trumpese to know what he's talking about? My god.

He's tried to veto like 6 things so far and not been successful yet - it'd be his first.

First it was because of renaming bases, then section 230, now nebulous China threats... it's a defense bill - there's no chance his veto doesn't get squashed, but I really hope he does try: Trump supporters calling the republican members of congress deep-state actors would be delicious.

Less than 24 hours before the electors put more nails in the Trump train wreck coffin. That babe Faith Spotted Eagle has a better electoral chance to win than Trump.

Kinda hilarious that if Biden can dodge faithless electors, Wikipedia will show him getting more EVs than Trump did

I raised this question in a separate thread here with a poll...

Belief 'Election was Stolen' VS We are 'Done with Democracy as we know we can no longer win'??


My view being that while some believe it was stolen far more, supporting Trump are just exhibiting the same time of 'team' tribalism you see in passionate sports rivalries where in the moment they might not admit anything good about the opposing team but away from the immediate passions would.

I was pleased to see, after it initially starting out that most believed 'they actually believe it' that the numbers support later that most do not think that.

lmao he's so mad that people voted. Bonus, here's the president doing his "I'm so much smarter than The Generals" act with the Supreme Court

Imagine his tweets after a 9-0 vote against him based on the merits of his case if they bothered to listen to it.

I would add China hasn't been in a war in 41 years and the USA may have been in 41 ( yes I know that may be a bit of an exageration)

He would just keep going because he’s trump. Never should’ve trusted the failing sleepy Clarence thomas!

But he has never imagined that it would have been decided on the merits.

Must be rough for Dear Leader's supporters watching him go out like this

Another one bites the dust...

So does this mean Trump will stop raising money?

His followers are pretty unusual. If you visit predictit you will be entertained as many Trumpderps continue to bet on him to win, I assume in homage to Krusty the Clown betting on the Washington Generals.

At least Trump has his eye on what is important.

"Cancel culture at work!" - signed, these people

Wow. Not a surprised wow, because of course this isn't even slightly surprising. More of a sad wow. The way this man feels the need to divide at every. ****ing. opportunity. is so pathetic. It's a completely nonsensical name that is offensive to people that have been continually ****ed over for hundreds of years, but of course this buffoon has to have an issue with them making the decision on their own (of course much external pressure has been applied over the years) to change their name. A leader would be applauding it. A normal somewhat racist white president would just shut the **** up about it. A very racist white president in the middle of a pandemic might feel strongly about it but just let it go because there are far more important things to worry about. But not this president. Hell, no. Here's another opportunity to "speak to his base", to appeal to their worst instincts, and drive yet another wedge between people. Couldn't let an opportunity like that pass him by!

Is it almost January 20th?

He just wants to remind his base how much they will miss him when he's gone. Already desperate to remain relevant.

It's only "cancel culture" when you are opposed to it. It's the same thing when people throw out the term "judicial activism." That is defined as something a court does that you oppose.

+ "Political correctness gone mad!"

Or is that just a UK thing?

No. A USA#9 thing too. A comedian had an eight season HBO show called Politically Incorrect:

yeah that second one always gets me.. conservative judges are some of the most "activist" judges on the bench. but if you ask conservatives about judges every single one of them will say they dont want "activist judges" and they hate "activist judges"..
