Only a fvcking idiot would accept this election at face value. Is there enough shady shit to overturn the election? Maybe not, but this was ANYTHING but a clean election.
LOL, you come off as a moron every time you complain about this. Georgia got recounted THREE times and every time the result was the same.
Here's a quote from the REPUBLICAN Secretary of State yesterday:
"Today is an important day for election integrity in Georgia and across the country," Raffensperger said in a statement. "Georgians can now move forward knowing that their votes, and only their legal votes, were counted accurately, fairly, and reliably."
I mean you keep on claiming this isn't a clean election but every court decision has said otherwise. And please don't bring up that fringy conspiracy laden crap.
Judges who have actual law degrees and election experts/lawyers have more or less said there is nothing to these claims.

They only wrestled twice (like one on one) on major PPV's, Survivor Series 1996 and the famous I quit match from Wrestlemania 13. They are both different matches too.
Yes the wrestlemania match is the best one...they basically switched roles during the match. Bret went in the the good guy came out the bad guy. Austin came in the bad guy and became the good.
How often have you ever seen something like that pulled off?
No. The "double turn" is what makes it such a classic match. Bret Hart is really a tragic figure in wrestling. His brother dies in a preventable accident in the ring. He is most known now for "Montreal Screwjob". Was banished/languished in WCW while the Attitude Era took off and thrived. And he never got a proper end to his ring career thanks to the concussion/health issues from a Goldberg kick in 2000. Compare that to Shawn Michaels who came back in 2002 and had sort of a second act to his career.

If this was a "dirty" election, some of these judges would agree with the Trump defense/lawyers. Instead most of the judges (a lot of them Republican) basically said "this lawsuit is a joke. Please provide evidence to back up your claims."
I feel sorry that there are people that still believe this bunk. Trump lost, deal with it. Most of us didn't whine this much when (insert your politician here--Repub or Dem) lost.

I have been pushing Trump supporters out of my life for the past 4 years. These morons that I used to consider friends are buying into every conspiracy theory they could find. They worship Trump like a god...they're posting videos of themselves saying things like, 'I'd take a bullet for Donald Trump.'
All this love and devotion for this terrible, terrible human being. This fraud of a man. This fake business man. All he does is get fatter, play golf and rant incoherently on camera and through social media. The guy is a straight up moron.
He continues to behave like the corrupt piece of shit that he is...I would very much enjoy it if he spent the rest of his life on the run from legal authorities.
The man is a personification of everything that is wrong with this country. No matter how poorly he behaves, he's never held accountable by his deranged group of lunatics and deplorables. Donald Trump is a turd that just won't flush down the toilet.
I don't know how you can talk to them at this point. I have zero respect for Trump supporters, especially the hardcore ones.

Reason I ask mostly is I saw Home Alone promoted for Disney+ as the 30th anniversary of it (incredibly hard to believe), and, I was never a huge fan of this one, it is really good. Layered, with alot to it, and Macauley Culkin was a perfect fit. Watched it last night. seen it before but maybe never gave it a chance.
I may be a bit older than some of you. I was 17/senior in high school, and hated the hype & success of it, just didn't buy in. Which, now I look back, and wonder why I hated it, and also man, it woulda been a perfect movie to ask a girl out on a date on. Stupid me probably would rather drink beer & smoke cigarettes in a woods somewhere in the cold.
Yea...I mostly groan every time Home Alone comes on TV...
I don't even find Macauley that talented or interesting. He's just playing a little boy anyway....
I'm not a fan of slapstick comedy and the shows/movies that display children and babies outsmarting adults isn't entertaining to me in the least.
Plus...fucking Trump is in it.
Pretty sure Trump is in the 2nd one. I went to the theater to watch that one on Christmas Day in 1991. I always remember the end of that film. It's a nice scene, that has always stayed with me, even though I don't think I've seen the film in it's entirety since then.
Will try to watch Scrooged, Planes Trains, Automobiles, and The Ice Harvest. Will also try to catch the 1960's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Yes, I'm a sucker for those things.
I've already been listening to some Christmas Carols to get into the "holiday spirit".

I don't know what I'm downplaying. Between the two groups, college educated whites are not a big group. In the suburbs, especially women, were turned off by Trump. How does that play going forward? I don't know think we've wrapped our head around d the Trump vote;who voted specifically for Trump instead of party, and who voted specifically against Trump instead of party.
I agree with you here. They (Repubs) won seats in the House and Senate when they were expected to be losses. That surprised me. That means part of their message is still resonating with voters. You have to figure which part appeals to which sector/demo, which is interesting. Most likely it was a split ticket, voted against Trump but with the party.

misterID wrote:We are really looking at the reality of democrats losing the Hispanic community. What's ironic is that they were who Dems were going to use to seize control of the presidency and both houses by turning Texas blue, the way they turned California blue: illegal immigration. But the generational shift completely blew up in their faces.
Hispanic Americans are largely conservative-religious, patriotic, capitalist, and against illegal immigration. Another twist? Not only did Trump attract more black men, but also Muslims, which Dems lost. Once the second-third generations became more Americanized, distancing away from their parents and grandparents experience, immigration became less important and individual freedom and American idealism became more important. They embraced what affluent, college educated, and overwhelmingly white liberals took for granted: being American.
The only gains dems made are college educated whites.
I found this a good post. GOP kinda found a niche in an anti-uber liberal & free everything folks, as well as latino vote in some areas. I think you're black men & Muslims probably needs clarification. More than what, than he got in 2016? Low is low, an increase from 3.5 to 4.2 or something is negligible.
Anyway that aside, yeah the Dems possibly overreached again. Remember in 2016 John Kasich said on the debate stage 'You know, we're up here running for President and talking about what bathrooms people can use" and if you remember, thats the country we were back then. And immigration, I think 2 races now have proven completely open borders and cozying up to illegals isn't gaining new votes. On the flip side tho trump 'lost in a landslide' that he claimed Hillary lost in, so his build a wall and lock them up in cages likely wasn't a winner either.
With Pelosi on her way out soon, or at least likely soon time to give up SOTH, they need a new identity. Hope they realize AOC isn't it. She wins NYC & the NY/National media, but there's about 40 or so other states who aren't lock step in her thinking.
I agree with this a lot. Taking it further, Democrats SUCK at messaging. I mean just one of the ones they used: "defund the police". That one is horrible on multiple fronts, even if you agree with the BLM movement. They need to find one who can articulate what they stand for is a simple and concise manner. They go into nuance or have 2-3 different people talking into different things and have these inter-faction battles over whatever.
Conversely, look at the Republicans, once they want to get something done/message to send to the public. They are almost in unison and you know what their viewpoint is (even if you disagree with it).

Why has nothing changed in North Carolina in days? What is going on there?
I believe the delay is that NC is waiting on ballots that are postmarked on November 3. They have/will wait until November 12. So it could be a while before we get a final vote talley.
#730 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 314 weeks ago
Trump is suing everywhere now...he's suing Nevada...and I'm sure he'll sue in Georgia and North Carolina soon...as those margins are tightening.
Does he really think this is how he's going to win?
He's has to stop filing lawsuits. It's making him look silly.
A Georgia judge has dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit over absentee ballots in the state.
The president’s reelection campaign tried to argue election officials were attempting to count invalid ballots in Georgia.
When pressed for evidence of that claim, the Trump campaign could not produce any.
The president’s campaign is trying to launch legal challenges in multiple battleground states, but they do not seem to have much merit at this point.
Election officials in multiple states have emphasized they will count every valid ballot before finalizing their results.

The irony in this is he would have gotten more mail in votes if he didn't disparage the entire process.
