They're not going to stop one either. Not sure why we're talking about them.

katkid thinks the cia is omnipotent.  it's very important to his worldview.

this is clear-eyed in a way that much of the coverage of trump's efforts to steal the election has not been.  i recommend reading it.

We're going to have a large percentage of citizens that don't think Biden is legitimate.

Which was going to happen regardless of what trump did. TBF the last 12 years have been this way, we'll be fine.

Yes that is my feeling. It really is sobering to think how politicians have started rallying around this idea ever since people elected a black president.

What’s giving me comfort is that people are not questioning how the court process is playing out. Despite how petty we are when it comes to general political stuff, the overwhelming majority still have faith in the court system, which is what will end up kicking out all this crap.

Someone help me understand what Florida's shitty ballots 20 years ago have anything to the conversation the photo is attached to?

i go back and forth.  on the one hand this is insane and in a funny way.  i'd like to laugh.  on the other hand polls show half of trump voters believe the election was stolen and you have stories like this with dumbfucks talking about preparing for civil war.  so i dunno.

The thought of those fat magas waging a civil war has always been funny.  They talked all big but they have been absolutely cowering in their mom's basement.

Can you imagine a pack of those militia types going up against a platoon of Rangers? They would be turned into hamburger in less than 45 seconds.

[Dugout DickStone]

would never happen.  talking civil war is only to look bad online.

Remember how scared they got of BLM protests?

Lots of pictures of ammunition/guns

Instead of civil war we should have amicable divorce.

[Phil Titola]

I'm fine letting them go and giving them like montana.

[Dugout DickStone]

give them a trash/ugly state like alabama or mississippi

[bucket]

Ya, I like Montana

no I don't and they aren't all powerful either. I think I'll pass listening to the same people that told me Russia stole the last election, getting all worked up about Guiliani and Gen. Flynn's lawyer holding literally hilarious press conferences and going on Newsmax and saying all manner of wild crap as some deep stain on our democracy.

there are plenty of actual bad things the US has done, is doing and will continue to do, but Trump getting big mad about losing is not worth worrying about.

[chum1]

I wasn't suggesting that anyone worry, only that they sound less ignorant.

[chum1]

Lol

We have to make some sacrifices and it's a lot of land. Don't give them ocean access.

[Trim]

What are the relevant dates/events to get through before this is official?

[waks]

Electors meet on Dec. 14.

[MakeItRain]

Pennsylvania certifies today, there is no longer a path to victory for trump after that.

[wetwillie]

I’m sure he will concede after they certify and allow a peaceful transition

[bucket]

I do wonder how quickly the transition gets formalized.

Hopefully, we find out soon. Emily Murphy is set to speak to the House today.
