Such a deal.

Trump's Final Days of Rage and Denial ...

This irrational response by Trump to the election is not driven by ego, but by fear.

Seal live persons into a casket (it has happened, unfortunately) lower them into the grave and start shoveling dirt in and those persons will act in a most irrational manner, clawing away at the casket til they lose all their fingernails and blood is dripping into their face. It is totally irrational because everyone knows they will never get out under their own power. They lack the means and in reality they know it.

They will claw and scream themselves into exhaustion. They will pray and they will curse.

That's Trump.

So why Trump? Other presidents have left office and not acted so bizarrely, many have lost their bids for a second term. They didn't make all kinds of phony allegation about voter fraud, crazy court cases based upon nothing, secret cabals to arrest their opponents ... they just accepted the reality, choked back a tear, bit their lip and moved on ...

So why Trump?

Trump is afraid. He knows what awaits him.

Yes, it would have been different.

'Trickle Down' is a Republican thing ... Voodoo economics is a Republican thing. This was Paul Ryan's thing, his baby, his pride and joy. Mitch McConnell fought for it and Trump was very happy to sign it. The only opponents were Democrats.

The Democrats have always opposed 'Trickle Down' Supply Side Economics. The Republicans have always promoted it.

If you don't want to vote, then don't vote. Nothing would make me happier.

But the Democrats have not been cheating, Trump has hoaxed you. The US Federal government itself, run by Trump appointees, says the election was most secure and unaffected by widespread voter fraud. Exactly the opposite of what Trump has been claiming.

You need to examine Trump's motives for lying to you, because the examinations of the election have all been done and there was no cheating.

~

I posted this in another place, but it is relevant here ...

"No Fraud. The Department of Homeland Security said so. Most secure election ever, they said.

No Fraud. The Department of Justice said so. No widespread fraud that would have affected the outcome, and no charges to make ... against anyone.

The aforementioned are run by Republicans, appointed by Trump. Their statements say you are all wet. If they agreed with you, you would be quoting them right here, for sure.

No Fraud. The states said so, they all certified, even under unrelenting pressure from the white house, even under death threats. All of them have had Republican involvement in the process, and some of them have Republicans all the way up to governor."

You are NOT my enemy. I don't have enemies here.

Besides, we are very much alike, except that I am male.

But if you want to support that miscreant amoral bastard in the white house, of course I hope you don't vote. I would be delighted if all of you misguided Trumpie cultists didn't vote. It would make our republic safer.

So take a clue: believe in our free and fair elections and vote! If you want others to support your favorite candidates when they win, support the candidates that win. It is the beauty of our republic and our tradition of peaceful transfer of power.

Now you can answer post number 68. We are awaiting your response.

Well said.

Although a lifelong D, I have stepped across and voted R a few important times in local/state contests. I never saw the "other" side as the enemy all my life. The past 4 years has really made that difficult sometimes for one reason and one reason only. I'll just never understand how DJT is the so-called republican hill his followers want to die on. I mean...HIM?!
