'This isn't over!': Trump supporters refuse to accept defeat

Chanting “This isn’t over!" and “Stop the steal,” supporters of President Donald Trump protested at state capitols across the country Saturday, refusing to accept defeat and echoing Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations that the Democrats won by fraud.

From Atlanta and Tallahassee to Austin, Bismarck, Boise and Phoenix, crowds ranging in size from a few dozen to a few thousand — some of them openly carrying guns — decried the news of Joe Biden's victory after more than three suspense-filled days of vote-counting put the Democrat over the top. Skirmishes broke out in some cities.

In Atlanta, outside the state Capitol in the longtime Republican stronghold of Georgia, chants of “Lock him up!” rang out among an estimated 1,000 Trump supporters. Others chanted, “This isn’t over! This isn’t over!” and “Fake news!” The streets were awash with American flags and Trump banners.

No immediate violence was reported, though at one point, police moved to separate Trump opponents from supporters. Biden held a slim lead in Georgia, which hasn't gone for a Democrat since 1992.

Unlikely, most of the photos I've seen from around the country, these groups appear to be in the hundreds. One look at the crowds dancing in the streets tell s all we need to know.

Buh-bye, losers

Is like a zombie in a George Romero movie. It keeps rising every time some necromancer decides he needs cheap minions, more decayed and threadbare than the last time. After 160 years, you'd think there wouldn't be much left.

I see a bunch of weirdly colored black and blue flags at Trump protests.
