Today, it's a welcome laugh.

EVEN PARTISAN HACKS can't make the numbers work for tRump in AZ.

LOOK!

He's SO OVER PAR.

Arizona found out he's even 360 MORE OVER PAR than we initially thought.



Then why did you want MORE votes in GA?

Hmmmm? No. Different state, different rules.

Doesn't work that way, 45.

That's right, it doesn't work. See you agree with me too.

Of course, not at the right wing BS media. And because of that, you rarely see any mention of it outside of some democratic forums such as DU.

You only really hear the magnifying right wing messages even at the so-called "liberal" MSM. When we try to defend or go on the offense, none of those messages can penetrate through to the right wing BS media.

It has not been dragged out by the media every time Trump or his cronies make the claim that the election was stolen.

There are sins of commission; there are sins of omission. The media is frequently guilty of the latter.

Since we don't have to pay to get a physical copy of the newspaper, since we don't have to watch every night at a certain time or miss the news and since a lot of US selectively take our news in and fact check the crap out of it to FIND the truth, how does the MSM actually make enough money to stay afloat?

I dontate to Truth Out, but they aren't MSM.

Every time the truth IS reported FAUX Noise or some ALT wing talking face bashes it down.

When tRump got banned on Twitter, how many different new platforms were launched? I lost count.

I wish I had the time to pull together the stories of ALL 60+ lawsuits and the reasons they did not get tRump any results.


Reich Wing keeps saying that tRump's lawsuits were improperly dismissed, that he didn't get his day in court.

At the time as I followed the events, state after state sat down to listen to the supposed "evidence" of wide spread voter fraud and there was a big "nothing burger" that Rudy et al put on the bench for examination.

They needed the equivalent of 3 shopping carts of evidence to change the results and brought what amounted to a paper lunch bag with some scribbled on napkins inside for proof. And at least once, not even that.

WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE? The judge would ask. Finally, at one point, Rudy says, "We don't have any evidence, we have theories."

THEORIES don't count in court as evidence. Evidence counts as evidence.

nothing about that audit should be given any legitimacy. It was performed by a bunch of partisan hacks who had no idea what they were doing.

I don't care that it supposedly backed up the President's win. The report about the fraudit by the Cyber Ninjas and the response from elections officials in AZ clearly show that the Ninjas are CLUELESS about election processes.

Even worse, they were alone with the evidence.

I remember trash bags full of DEM votes found in Florida when Gore was making his challenges.

The reason they accuse US of doing these awful illegal things, is because it was their idea first.

I just wonder how many more votes a non partisan audit might have turned up.

They never learn, of course, that audits and recounts usually favor Democrats.

They will keep thinking the election was stolen. It will make them feel good.
