Trump is NOT IN DENIAL! He's actively trying to STEAL THE ELECTION!

If the media continues to laugh and call it denial, soon the whole Republican party will be screaming that the election was stolen and half of the country will believe it.
Things could actually go downhill from there... Again.

It must be called out for what it is, an active attempt to steal the election.

It's not denial.

The *sshole and his minions putting the lives of our health care workers at the ultimate risk with these Gawd Damn rallys. Why can't the state governments grow a few pair and clamp down on this crap. He's going to fleece his rube following, that's a fact, but he needs to stay his *ss home.

What's the point? Can he not keep ginning them up from a distance? I want Hatch Act results for these illegitimate activities! I want someone to cut up the White House credit card and lock his butt in the bunker until January 19th! Then they can toss him out with his no doubt stinky suitcase.

He needs to answer for the wreckless endangerment of those sickened by his superspreader events, especially front line health care providers!!!

Somebody needs to slap him into reality. I would love to be the first in line.

Aaarrrghhh!!!

he clearly expected that DeJoy's fucking with the postal service would be enough to slow down mail-in ballots and prevent enough of them from arriving before election deadlines to tip things in his favour; that didn't happen, and the red mirage on election night evaporated once the totals including mail-ins were tabulated. So now the plan is to discredit some number of mail-in ballots in close states and hope that the court flips it for him (which is most likely NOT going to happen, because 1) it would probably cause a civil war, 2) it would utterly destroy any credibility the court has).

Biden won.

Whether the media laughs at it or not is irrelevant. The Republicans can scream all they want - it won't change a single thing. And no, "half the country" won't believe it.

Even the dumbest Trump-humper will quickly lose interest in a story about fake ballots and other nefarious goings-on when not a shred of evidence of same can be produced in a court of law, no less proven.

As I've said before - the powers-that-be in the GOP want Trump gone. He lost them the House in 2018, and he just lost them the WH. They've had to cover for his ineptitude every day for four years, and most of them hate his guts. He's just proven the fact that he's a LOSER - and there's no reason to keep him in office and subject themselves to four more years of playing defense as he slips even further into mental decline.

It is what it is - all the rest is just noise.

What I want to see is the MSM asking Congressional Republicans whether they feel the election was stolen. Get them on record supporting Trump's nonsense. I would especially ask the 2 republican Senate candidates who are up for a run off election in Georgia if they feel the election was rigged.

What is the Supreme Court going to do, take a case to overturn an election because the loser of the election claims the election was rigged with zero proof? Chief Justice Roberts is only 1 vote but I assume he has some sway over the court, especially if it involves destroying his legacy.

He's been saying this long before the election so it's not denial.

I think he is fully aware he lost the election fair and square but is claiming it was stolen in order to get it up to the Supreme Court where he thinks they can steal it for him.

Trump just can't say that there was fraud with zero proof. He has lost every law suit he has filed, why would the SC even touch this frivolous suit?

I believe, with zero proof, that the reason that Trump and Republicans were so opposed to mail in voting was because it is harder to rig mail in paper ballots, not easier. I still maintain and I have zero proof, that our present voting machines can be pre-programmed to flip votes. I know one can't prove a negative. We don't even know who owns the voting machines that we vote on. I have been voting on a machine for decades that has no paper trail and no means for a recount, now a system like that is ripe for possible fraud. I jumped at the chance to vote by mail in ballot here in Pa. where many of my fellow Pennsylvanians did the same, it may have been the difference here and in other states.

In 2020, he seeks to steal it after the voting. This was all done by design, and they've been telegraphing their motives and even their game plan for months now.

We are obviously a nation divided. Social media has been feeding half our country a load of so much bullshit that registers on the masses as truth. They're just pushing buttons and Pavlov's puppy salivates.

I think they rigged it ahead and now having a fit it did not work.

My guess is without the cheating the Biden's margin would be much higher.

Edit to add .. the world is partying over his loss. He can go play golf forever for all I care just go away.
