Let's be blunt about what's going on in this election...and what isn't [View all]

The number of conspiracy theory posts is getting ridiculous.

Let's review:

The Justice Department didn't indict Joe (or Hunter) Biden
Voting machines didn't steal the election for Trump.
US Marshalls didn't impound Ballot Boxes.
Bill Barr isn't arresting election clerks.
The Courts aren't overturning the election results.
State Legislatures aren't preparing to appoint new Electors.
Democratic Electors aren't being bribed or blackmailed.

Sometimes you just need to accept victory.
