He's pissed.

Yep he was angry. Interesting that so many of these lower level government officials have more spine than the Republicans in Congress.

Trump casts an out-sized shadow. Team Elephant is a cult of personality. Now that he’s lost, it’s somewhat surprising to me that Mitch and crew still fear him

Joe Digenova called for Krebs to be taken out and shot (and drawn and quartered and I cannot figure the value of doing both). It is about time someone stood up for decency.

When will one of the 2024 candidates like Rubio, Cruz, Haley, say enough is enough? Or even Mitch? Courage is in short supply. The party has invited in the tinfoil hat crowd but now lacks the resolve to say they are no longer welcome.

Emotional closure. Even if he's already dead, I'm sure there is some satisfaction in watching his genitals sliced off and burned before his body.

After so many years, you know Rubio, Cruz and Mitch are spineless. But one expected more from Haley but I suspect she is not different from the rest. All just about political expediency.

The most concerning part to me is that Trump could have overthrown this election but for a handful of state and local level Republicans. How are those men and women being treated? Death threats for them and their families. Their own state parties are denouncing their actions. Their US Senators are calling on their resignations.

So what comes next? The Republicans who did their jobs are ruined in this Trump GOP. They will likely be replaced with Trumpier people. Then what? Will we have a party that is more than willing to highjack an election if their guy doesn’t win? This thing could have become a real crisis.

Edit to add - Look at this poll. 37% are okie dokie with the US becoming an authoritarian run country that does not abide by the most fundamental tenet of democracy. This is what happens when you hate your fellow Americans so damn much.

Not that you care, but you disappoint me. You should be better than this. What Trump endured was brought on mostly by his own behavior.

The party of Mitch complaining about how someone is treated is laughable. And now on to the next chapter - the incoming pardons. Man you guys are willing to overlook a lot of bad of bad behavior.

Do you think the generals and admirals that have spoke out against Trump are also part of the deep state?

Look, the voting machines being complained about, I can pull articles of Democrats complaining about the same machines from just a few months back. I can pull articles of prominent Democrats telling Biden he should not concede the election no matter the outcome just weeks before the election. I can go back 4 years and show you Democrats rioting. I can show you pussy hats, #resist hashtags, Handmaid's Tale outfits, improper intelligence agency surveillance of political opponents, harassing people at dinner, setting up blacklists backed by Congresswomen on Twitter, etc. And none of you all said boo about that. Now you think your "side" won and that everyone who watched the 4 year temper tantrum is going to be all kumbaya?

LOLGF

I will not participate in shenanigans like the left did after Trump was elected, but if others choose to do so, I will be as concerned about it as you all were with the shit the Democrats and their supporters pulled the past 4 years. In other words the aforementioned not giving a shit.

The fact that you think what is going on now is remotely comparable is the problem. This searing hatred for the left has affected your ability to reasonably process the situation.

Sorry, but this comes mainly from Hillary saying Biden should not concede under any circumstance, because she anticipated that the Republicans were going to contest mail-in voting and drag things out. Exactly what Trump's been trying to do. Show me articles where prominent democrats wanted Biden to do what Trump is doing now, if he lost?

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee predicted that among several scenarios, Republicans are going to try to “mess up absentee balloting” so that they could get a potentially narrow advantage in the Electoral College.

Hillary Clinton says Biden should not concede the election 'under any circumstances'

The former Democratic presidential nominee predicted Republicans could try to “mess up absentee balloting” for a narrow advantage in the Electoral College.

Just yesterday two of Trump’s lawyers advocated for the implementation of martial law. Another of Trump’s lawyers said Krebs should be executed. None of this shit is normal and it hasn’t happened before.

Talk about false equivalency.

 

[Cortez88]

Talk about false equivalency.

Left out is that the 2016 election was much, much closer and Clinton conceded after 2 days. Oh and Clinton didn’t try to destroy our democracy and incite a civil war.

Biden won the popular vote by 6.9M votes and climbing. When will these Trump supporters sit down and try to understand these people?

Yes, that is always the fall back. Sorry guys, the rules changed over the last 4 years. Your side rioted, said an election was stolen, and various other nonsense like harassing people at restaurants...both popular and political figures and regular old people out having dinner who were not sufficiently supplicant to BLM. Your side got a GOP Congressman shot (and no you don't get to disavow that, it was the heated rhetoric from the left that caused that, it is the standard that you all use against the right so it shall be used on you).

When property starts getting destroyed, people start getting attacked, people are harassed at dinner, cities are taken over and autonomous zones are set up, and political leaders are attacked...then we will have the right finally caught up with the left. I am not going to worry about "ideas" because right now you all are a'twitter about words when you gleefully ignored actual actions the past 4 years. By the by, your side was wargaming secession if they lost this election.

So yes, you are talking about false equivalencies...on your side of this argument.

So again, I don't give a shit because you all put all of the things I mentioned above on the table in words and deeds the last 4 years and none of you cared. If it turns around and bites you on the ass for the next 4, why should I then care?

I see you’ve gotten through the denial phase and have moved on to the anger phase. You still have bargaining, depression and acceptance. There is no set amount of time for each stage, so there’s no pressure. You’ll get through this. Stay strong, brother.

It's hard to have a discussion with someone who is SO triggered.
T.rump lost. He needs to stop undermining one of the most basic tenet of democracy in this country in an attempt to monetize the stupidity of his followers. The fact that you support it based on what you thing the Dems might have done if he won is the only evidence anyone needs that you care more about party than country.
You probably need to send more money to T.rump's "Stop the Steal" movement. He will need it to settle quite a few debts.

I'm hoping his most fervent supporters clear their savings & retirement, sell their homes and send it all to trump to rectify this national tragedy.

The last 4 years around people like you have taught me how televangelists still exist. Weak people need a prophet. Even a false one.

Blah, blah, blah...your shtick is tired. Get a new one. Most of you are ill equipped to have a discussion with those you disagree with that does not devolve into name calling.

You want me to kumbaya, you have to make me care. Not the other way around. I don't need a Trump or a televangelist to know that I have had it up to my ears with people like you on political topics. I don't have to care about what you care about. Your narrative is not mine.

So again, I don't give a shit about the new terrible that your televangelists on CNN and the like are telling you to hate about me, the infidel. I am a knuckle dragging neanderthal right? So why should what I care about be of any importance to you? You don't care about my thoughts. You dismiss me as a moronic zealot. So why should I play in your sandbox by your rules?

Kindly, go **** yourself.

Wow...chillax.
The main problem I have with the GOP is their spineless handling of T.rump. They have created a monster, and now, are having to bend over and take it...or suffer the wrath of his base.
For a guy who belongs to a crowd who loved to wear "Fvck Your Feelings" Sweatshirts (4XL) to rallies, you sure seem awful sensitive.

After 8 years of you racists saying Obama wasn't born in America, I don't give a shit about your dumbass opinion. You act like republicans gave Obama a chance (a GOP senator even admitted that they were told to vote no to anything Obama wanted to pass while he was president) and that Trump is just a sweetheart that people are attacking for no reason. What's it like going through life with blinders on? Mr. I love to sexual assault women Trump isn't some innocent person that is a victim here.

Trump was safe in the White House when the me too movement came through. Maybe they can be butt buddies soon.

Trump probably said he would leave the country if he lost because he realizes a no extradition country is his safest location.

Because, in my mind people I’ll never meet in my life look down on me, I’ll support a corrupt grifter who is trying to overturn the election and incite violence.

And why do all of us have to try and understand you Trump supporters? How about you try and understand the majority of the country. It’s a pretty childish position to say I support terrible things because some people, I think, might be mean to me. None of us made you do any of this.
