And they didn't indicate that there was no fraud or wrongdoing - just not enough presented to materially change the results of the election. There is nothing for them to be wrong about since they didn't hear the case. Except for perhaps in Texas. Then there are the states who modified election procedures to fit their needs outside of federal laws and the lax mail in ballot verification procedures and ability to hack voting machines. The allegations of fraud can not be ruled false when they are not allowed to be heard. If the accusations were false - they courts should have heard the cases and then made that determination. Leaving it like it is means 75 million people don't believe the results. And there is plenty of evidence if you care to research what has been compiled to date.

Time will tell who is right. I am not easily manipulated like most dems here. Just because someone tells me something is true - or it's posted as truth by a "trusted" source - doesn't mean it should be accepted as such. Especially "fact checking" sites owned and controlled by the left. The depths of deceit of the dem party and their actions over the last 4 years (and before), in league with the FBI/CIA/NSA etc. - leads me to conclude that the election was stolen in a coordinated effort.

I have lost trust in our election system and govt. and would appreciate getting it back. Shutting our voice down and not hearing the evidence, fully, only solidifies our view that this was the most corrupt election in US history.
I read a really interesting essay today, about how to tell if you're on the side that's right. Sometimes it's hard, you have a position and others have a different position, and you wonder, am I on the right side of this issue?

Look around you, and see where the Nazis, and NeoNazis are. If you're standing with them, or standing with someone who is delivering a speech about what Hitler did right, you're on the wrong side.

Simple as that. Look where the Nazis are. And yes, I did see 6MWE shirts at the rally.

So maybe the OP should be the first who gets your dehumanization "award"?
Oh goodie goodie gumdrops... it's quiz time! Let's see if you can pass:

In the following examples, choose choice A or choice B as the best representative of "dehumanization," as in creating in the reader a sense that the referred person is evil, bad, dirty, stupid, crazy, lazy, less-than-human, etc.


1) You have just watched a ballerina performing ballet. You now have a chance to talk to her afterwards. You say...

a) Your moves were so impressive that I thought I was watching a soaring eagle or a graceful swan

b) You danced, if we can even contort reality enough to call it that, like a three-legged goat suffering from acute arthritis and rabies.


2) You just reviewed a report compiled by your coworker. You read through it, look up, smile, and say...

a) This is VERY impressive. Your writing reminds me of a wise old owl or something.

b) This report looks as if it were written by a lobotomized baboon that has been constipated for a month.


3) You and your new neighbor are discussing her recently planted flower garden on the property line. After examining the flowers for a moment, you nod and say...

a) Amazing! Your flowers are almost otherworldly--it's like you have the talent of a magical unicorn.

b) What you've done to this garden reminds me of something a trampling, doddery, disease-riddled, enfeebled buffalo cow in heat with a hot pepper stuck up its rear might do.


RESULTS: if you chose the B's, you are a master at dehumanizing. If you chose the A's, you are not and truly mean it as a compliment. If you chose a mixture, you have multiple personality disorder.

Because the democrats don’t run the elections you’re questioning. You put your faith in liars. You’re blind to the clear truth of the situation.

There is plenty -- if you privately believe this hogwash you should not let anyone know. Only a fool would post it publically. I offer only the following exerpt as an example of the twisted mind games some Trumpers are playing as a way of avoiding reality. You need to sedk professional help if you believe this stuff...

"Violent Antifa shock troops, now the elite’s Brown Shirts, were bussed into Washington in white vans, under police escort. Capitol Hill guards facilitated the storming of the Congress by removing barricades and letting the mob through. Nor did the choreographers forget to make sure that there would also be the obligatory sacrificial victim. From an operational standpoint, Gene Sharp would have been pleased, though it is unlikely that in his day the domestic application of his technology had actually been envisaged.

The expectation of millions of Americans of all political persuasions and from all walks of life that after repeated court challenges, rejected on flimsy procedural grounds, on January 6th Congress would at last exercise its constitutional authority to order a thorough review of the disputed issues on their merits, came to nought. The officer of the government who had the legal authority to act, Vice President Mike Pence, pointedly failed to do so. Pence practically mirrored the behaviour in 1992 of Yugoslav Presidency member Bogić Bogićević. At a critical moment leading up to the break-up of Yugoslavia, Bogićević refused to vote for proposed solutions that might have defused the crisis, thus ensuring that the measures would not be adopted and laying the groundwork for the country’s ensuing collapse and bloodshed. "

And Trumpers wonder and whimper about not being taken seriously.

Well said, and they will not stop after President Trump. They have already infected your children so it needs to stop.

BLM=Burn Loot Murder. If Democrat cities could actually hire police that could do their jobs and not kill Black people we wouldn't have this problem with mostly Democrat cities burning and looting thousands of small businesses, never to return.

Yep, pull your kids out of their indoctrination centers, lest our cities turn into Minniapolis, Portland, Seattle, Detroit, Baltimore, S. Chicago, or any other Democrat city that are setting new violent crime records
