5. Rs continued to deny reality AFTER investigations were complete

Mon Nov 11, 2024, 02:09 PM

Nov 11

And courts, even those with Trump judges, rejected their claims.

Here, before all votes have been counted, and certainly no investigations were undertaken, people are raising legitimate questions, not making baseless claims.

Highlight:

I'm surprised at how little discussion there is questioning the results. [View all] garybeck Nov 11 OP

We are supposed to believe that ruthless, vicious, desperate psychopaths followed the rules and laws. Irish_Dem Nov 11 #1

All of this! Dem4life1234 Nov 11 #6

It is basic psych profiling and crime scene analysis. Irish_Dem Nov 11 #13

Hear, here (is that right?) LSparkle Nov 11 #27

They'll "memory hole this" because the media have already SPOKEN. dchill Nov 11 #85

Agreed. The media wanted our eyeballs not to inform us LSparkle Nov 11 #96

Here's another possibility. Mr. Evil Nov 11 #66

I am fairly certain that a version of this scenario has occurred with certain members of congress. Irish_Dem Nov 11 #72

trump and Johnson's little secret. And trump doubling down on garbage Latinos... brush Nov 11 #84

Exactly. Irish_Dem Nov 12 #127

Yep, and now we have to deal with a senile-adjacent, bloviating fool delivering mental weave for 4 years. brush Nov 12 #129

They don't have to invoke the 25th. Irish_Dem Nov 12 #131

God, we are so in trouble. brush Nov 12 #132

"...and in front of a speeding turnip truck.." The_REAL_Ecumenist Nov 12 #134

I'll take my cues from the DNC and the Harris/Walz campaign. I sure wish the left... LAS14 Nov 11 #91

I stand by my psychological profiling. Irish_Dem Nov 11 #93

CONSPIRACY THEORY? REALLY?!! Well, what about the VERBATIM statement give by Nikolai Patrushev, a member of pootie's The_REAL_Ecumenist Nov 12 #135

Flipped votes were documented on BMDs in PA in November 2023 lostnfound Nov 11 #108

I am sure the Russian/Chinese military hackers were able to figure all of this out. Irish_Dem Nov 11 #109

We heard for four years that the election was stolen. I doubt the public wants to hear it another four jimfields33 Nov 12 #126

Four years ago a house down the block burned down... Think. Again. Nov 16 #157

The public appears to want to hear only lies. Not the truth. Irish_Dem Nov 16 #163

Well said. Think. Again. Nov 16 #155

I agree. I weighed in a couple of times already Jarqui Nov 11 #2

the question is what does "thoroughly check" mean garybeck Nov 11 #11

Trump people could have given this same pep-talk four years ago. tritsofme Nov 11 #16

Post removed Post removed Nov 11 #19

You really can't say that. dchill Nov 11 #86

Okay, then what is the purpose of the discussion? TheKentuckian Nov 11 #90

You do understand that evidence you are requiring for audits and recounts... Think. Again. Nov 16 #158

Recounts in all close races is a start Jarqui Nov 11 #36

There are a variety of things that could be involved Jarqui Nov 16 #161

Two main reasons IMO. 1) We spent the last 4 years deriding/mocking/ridiculing kelly1mm Nov 11 #3

Rs continued to deny reality AFTER investigations were complete spooky3 Nov 11 #5

And that is the difference between us and them Dem4life1234 Nov 11 #10

I guess highly circumstantial to very speculative is a notch or two above baseless TheKentuckian Nov 11 #21

We were deriding/mocking/ridiculing way before the investigations/court cases were completed kelly1mm Nov 11 #46

We disagree. Nt spooky3 Nov 11 #64

i agree and I think that was done on purpose garybeck Nov 11 #7

And they went through 60 court cases. The AP called this election that first night. pnwmom Nov 11 #40

They can be filed as soon as they can be prepared. And R's will deride/mock/ridicule us just like we did them. nt kelly1mm Nov 11 #47

They can mock us all they want. Don't you see how we were set up? pnwmom Nov 11 #49

I do not believe there was any credible reports of hacking if you are referring to vote switching kelly1mm Nov 11 #52

According to Greg Palast, there were 2.7 million rejected provisional ballots last time. pnwmom Nov 11 #88

I think every court refused to hear their cases soandso Nov 12 #122

Stephen Spoonamoore's 11/15 Duty to Warn letter is worth the read Babajida Nov 16 #154

There are differences Meowmee Nov 11 #104

Being 'a fascist lunatic trying to take over the country' is not evidence of voting irregularities. Can you kelly1mm Nov 11 #110

Yes it is imo, it's not normal to tell your voters. They don't have to vote because you already have the votes since whe Meowmee Nov 11 #111

He said they would not need to vote 'next time'. He said he needed their votes now and then kelly1mm Nov 11 #112

He also said after that first statement several times Meowmee Nov 11 #113

Evidence? Martin68 Nov 12 #124

We lost. No recount, court case, protest, etc., is going to change that. We have mid-terms coming. Silent Type Nov 11 #4

We Have Mid-Terms Coming? LOL!!!!! SoCalDavidS Nov 11 #25

I choose not to sulk. Silent Type Nov 11 #38

It's not about sulking. Do you really think Trump would allow fair mid terms if they succeeded pnwmom Nov 11 #44

Except he didn't flip 2024. If Harris, Biden, etc., believe results were correct, I'll continue to move on. We lost. Silent Type Nov 11 #50

If they got away with fixing this election, why would anything be different in the midterms? nt pnwmom Nov 11 #41

Well, yeah, if the got away with fixing election. But don't think they did and I'm not a GOPer type election denier. Silent Type Nov 11 #78

There aren't going to be any more elections. I heard it form the Dump himself. Clouds Passing Nov 11 #62

Based on what direct evidence? No, a report from twenty years ago nor Lichtmans non scientific keys qualify. TheKentuckian Nov 11 #43

I'll be happy to question the results -misanthroptimist Nov 11 #14

You mean the dozen or so threads on the subject? Fish700 Nov 11 #15

Threads are not evidence. Martin68 Nov 12 #123

Didn't say they were. The OP asked why isn't there more discussion when the site is riddled with threads about it. Fish700 Nov 15 #143

These things happened in 2020 2016 2012 and 2008 also ColinC Nov 11 #17

one mistake people make is garybeck Nov 11 #22

No. It's questioning our democratic process with little to no evidence. Just like Trump did. ColinC Nov 11 #23

Trump did this for months it's less than a week later. Ilikepurple Nov 11 #101

Sounds like you're saying is Trump's complaints after 2020 should have been taken more seriously and given more credence onenote Nov 11 #28

His cases were taken seriously. There were 60 court cases. How many have we had? nt pnwmom Nov 11 #45

onenote, why are you ALWAYS a naysayer about challenging the validity of Trump's suspicious "victory"? ElementaryPenguin Nov 15 #145

When there is something credible to react to, I won't be a naysayer. onenote Nov 16 #148

Not suppose to question like we were not suppose to challenge Garland. LizBeth Nov 11 #29

Just because there are likely ongoing election investigations that can't yet be revealed, nevermind reported. ancianita Nov 11 #31

I agree 100%. I am astounded that some are accepting this and that the leaders are not making issues of all of this. 58Sunliner Nov 11 #35

Both things can be true - we live in a country of many idiots and the vote was hacked as well. ElementaryPenguin Nov 15 #146
