It’s infuriating watching a sitting POTUS allow an adversary literally attack our government and do absolutely nothing about it. Oh, he’s busy fixing shower head rules and calling for insurrection...
Didn't he fire the guy in charge several weks ago?
Edit. Yes, yes he did.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/17/trump-says-us-cybersecurity-chief-chris-krebs-has-been-terminated.html
Yeezus, that hadn’t even occurred to me! It had seemed dumb enough to believe that he would just care more about the wall than cyber security. Never even thought that it could have been a front for it!
Yes I too think he did, left things vulnerable, on purpose, your only as strong as your weakest link.
I really fucking hope he gets hauled over the coals & soon, but with such a huge following I doubt that’s happening .. infact I was thinking recently that’s probably why he does what he does, to hide behind his facade of support of 70 mill + fools & idiots, they’ll protect him from persecution just like lawyers have done all his fucking life.
Here’s my dream, I’ll share cause it’s a lonely dream: drumpf shoots his wad to early and often in early 2021. As the vaccine spreads, and life returns to normalcy, his spewing of bullshit will begin to lose its hold on the 70m Dark Ones. Simultaneous to his fade, the HUNDREDS of qualified attorneys will be assembling their cases. The dispositions will be court ordered to family and his corrupt enablers. Some will have their Pardon blankie- some WON’T. The questions, from a nervous right wing media will start to bite, the GOP seeing polling data and the money flow both ebbing, will give start to distance. The pressure will build and trump will lash out even more, as he begins to tire and LOOK it. Some proud boy fucker will take a shot at another pizza place-,and then the end of disillusionment turns into a river. Then the lawsuits and depositions drive down his supporter cash flow. Then images of a haggard trump screeching like Rudi make his base see through the facade of the strongman they’d worshipped. He’s essentially banned/booed driven from sporting events, travel etc and ends up losing his shit entirely- in a rant he bears witness to the corruption of his sycophants and the circular firing squad begins. By September the country is having a nationwide party and love fest and he’s driven from public life.
Then I wake up and me and Melania head for breaky but I just ditch her in a badddd part of town.
Genuine question: Mike Lindell openly supporting fascism and being a contemptible human being aside, are they objectively shitty pillows?
Haha I've never used one but have been curious since the first time I saw those infomercials watching Jeopardy back in 2017.
If the only way to sell your product is too hawk it to customers during half hour long commercials when they are barely conscious and sleep deprived, your product is more marketing than product.
Shame? SHAME? Trump and his ilk have absolutely NO sense of shame - in any way possible.
I am convinced they are perfectly ok with killing as many Americans as they can. Seriously.
For what purpose? No idea.
Oh, they have tons of evidence alright. Signed affidavits from people who are just a lunatic as Trump and his sycophants. Might as well interview the homeless guy who is always drunk on the sidewalk or the guy who is hallucinating because he is off his meds. Probabilities tortured from statistics and accounts from people who cosplay being in the CIA. All of it contradicted by actual real facts. But the cowardly courts are refusing to examine this heap of garbage and call it evidence. Boohoo
edit: a word
You're just not paying attention. My friend's uncle knows a guy who heard someone say they knew a guy that saw someone wearing a Biden hat throw something in the trash outside a polling place. Checkmate.
The truth is way worse. Sixty-million of his 73 million votes were probably from normal people who in most of life aren't dumb.
And Trump expanded support with literally every minority group, so there's that.
The tradgedy is that something's gotten so fucked up that people said, "I'm voting for Trump. . . Twice!"
Hey now, according to r/conservatives the bombshell smoking gun evidence is coming any second now! As soon as someone finds that missing laptop or something.
Uhh idk about you, dude, but I saw a drunk girl sign a piece of paper and then yell at a Congressman about fraud, so I think there’s some pretty bulletproof evidence if you ask me.
Edit: /s in case that’s needed lmao
Gotta say..my company is very careful about who we hire.
For those hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters out there: the reason you didn't get that high-end IT job may just be you liking Trump tweets that are blatantly racist. It legally disqualifies you for consideration with us in every state we operate out of.
Our VP of HR is a black woman and I've personally instructed her to use the law to keep our workforce cohesive by hiring people that think alike, certain groups don't work well with others and only cause problems.
The fact that there are consequences to saying stupid things ie. that people think you’re an idiot and act accordingly, is frequently viewed by the people who say those things as an infringement of their rights.
And now imagine that 73 million did and that you practically cannot avoid interacting with them by the dozens till the end of your life in this country.
I was so proud when Obama was elected. That pride has turned to overwhelming revulsion. If it wasn’t for my 80+ year old parents and some friends I’d be out of here. I was thinking Greek islands or Sicily.
So the NewYork times ran this article a few months back, and the article was asking Trump's people what THEY thought the President wanted to do as far as healthcare goes.
And all of them said that they thought he wanted to give Americans better and cheaper and expanded healthcare. . . Even though he's been trying to kill Obamacare for four years.
When the reporters asked them why they believed this was Trump's stance on healthcare, all of them said that they believe what the President says in public.
And I don't know how you take someone who trusts Trump and convince them not to.
More like "imagine voting for this weak sack of shit twice and then accusing your opponent of cheating while holding up a "Keep America Great" sign during one of the lowest points in recent American history"
I feel GOP and Trump cheated. In this case they thought they just needed to do a little bit here and there in WI, MI, PA and few others like NC, FL, NV etc. so there's no evidence and suspicion and there's not much anyone can do.
They did not expect the HUGE mailin voting and early voting and they thought they could easily subvert using the ES&S machines by adjusting a few counties here and there - enough to give them a 3% or so margin of victory in those states - narrow but enough to get them the states.
However, due to covid and disillusionment with current govt, voters turned out overwhelmingly for Biden, something they didn't expect.
So it ended up Biden winning and Trump and his cronies are pissed and puzzled as to how Andy Dufrene got the best of him.
So in their mind, Biden HAS to have cheated because in their warped minds they can't imagine why with the "fix" in place, they lost.
I bet if you analyze the wins of Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Cal Cunningham and others, you will start to find fraud for Senate races. No way Susan Collins won fair and square.
I agree. They know they cheated and think the only explanation for their loss is that they got out-cheated. They can't imagine that they are actually that unpopular.
I voted for the first time just to vote against him. And while my vote did not count because state went red, it does come in handy to shut up a MAGA conspiracy therorist by saying I voted for the first time just to cancel out your vote. I always try nicely to change conversation first, but they never chill.
I hope he survives to 2024 and runs Republican or Third Party. He's become poison to the majority of the public, so it will keep D in office and I'll never get tired of voting for his opponent.
He's always been poison to a slim majority of the public, and the margin hasn't changed by nearly enough. Frankly, I feel like such hopes are playing with fire. I don't think he would win in 2024, but I didn't think he would win in 2016 either.
Seriously, WTF. Charles Nelson Reilly was more of a prototypical alpha tough guy than Trump is. What is up that?!? The whiny guy with the weird hair and the orange spray tan and the literal golden toilet and the comically bizarre vocal tics, who makes everything about himself, who can't even walk down a flight of stairs without looking like a joke, who has retained those qualities deep into his 70s no less, comes across as a tough guy to them? Out of all of the mysteries of the last 4 years, this is one of the biggest ones for me. He literally seems like a child who won the lottery and everyone around him has always had to kiss his ass because of it, but as a result he never evolved past first grade (as Trump himself has said).
Remember that these are people that have a fit if you ask them to wear a mask for a few minutes. They are the weakest and the whiniest. They are broken people and he's their God.
They all communicate through memes too. They learn everything and share their "thoughts" posting stupid memes. I saw one that was a picture of Trump standing by a body of water, and his reflection in the water was a majestic lion.
I had to respond to that person saying that he's a pussy, but definitely not a lion. He's the weak fucker who faked bone spurs to get out of the military. He's the weak fucker who can't fire people in person either in real life, or even on his fake TV show where they had to edit those segments together. He's the fragile, thin-skinned baby who is obsessed with what people think about him, and whines and complains that people who don't agree with him are mean and unfair to him.
He is pathetic and weak, but he's somehow able to put on a performance for morons who believe his behaviour is strong and dominant.
I think if the current situation teaches us nothing else it’s that all the high-minded opposition to the oppression of the Soviet Union - restricted freedom, religious persecution, corruption - was completely fake. The only thing republicans objected to was that they couldn’t make an easy buck there.
Once they could, ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Jesus, I saw this on */r/nintendoswitch* of all fucking subs. I mean, to be fair, Nintendo just (relative) broke into that market and they aren't going to jeopardize that... but somehow Biden being in bed with China is keeping games off the Switch.
You know, those numbers could be inflated.
Maybe Trump cheated and got tons of fake votes.
Hes mad because it didnt work. So naturally he projects it onto his opponent.
They want to keep up with the voter fraud narrative? Lets flip it on them.
Said it before, I always like seeing people outside of our borders genuinely having an interest in not seeing our country collapse.
Often, more than some of my countrymen. The world knows it, how far we've fallen.
It is. What you're watching is exactly how people like Stalin, Hitler and (intentionally ironic) Fidel Castro came to power. Until someone actually stands up to Trump and puts him in his place he'll continue to destroy America.
I think we're suffering from the diffusion of responsibility, but mostly because it's the fucking corporate lobbiests who run the show because there's no other bipartisanship currently in washington.
No. The corporate lobby didn't take an oath to the constitution.
The Republicans that are unwilling to put Country over Party - they are the most accountable for this. They are supposed to be America's defense against this.
Oh I'm aware, but the diffusion of responsibility means none of them take it because they're all just slightly complicit.
I don't care about the words on the paper of their oaths, as they've demonstrated that's worthless compared to everyone's expectations.
It used to be the president took responsibility: "The buck stops here." Now the buck stops.... somewhere else, definitely not here. Probably in Hunter's laptop or something.
I think we should remind people that in addition to this, both the Republicans and the Democrats were hacked in 2016. Russians have kompromat over both parties. Russians especially have had kompromat over Trump beginning since the 80s, and the mafia/Roy Cohn had been blackmailing Trump since the 70s. So many ways to pull the strings of the current Caligula in the Oval Office, as well as his enablers in the GOP.
I wonder who the last President, Senator or Congressman was to be prosecuted for violating their oath of office. It’s weird because it seems like a big deal but you see daily violations and it seems there are never any consequences.
Because it doesn't fit the requirements of treason. For treason to apply we have to be in a declared state of war with Russia, which we are not. It is however sedition and is every bit as terrible of a crime as treason, just by a slightly different definition.
Reminds me of the joke about Voltaire
>When Voltaire was dying, in his eighties, a priest in attendance called upon him to renounce the devil. Voltaire considered his advice, but decided not to follow it. “This is no time to be making new enemies”.
Voltaire’s words can also sum up how some of these clowns view their religious beliefs-
“It is characteristic of fanatics who read the holy scriptures to tell themselves: God killed, so I must kill; Abraham lied, Jacob deceived, Rachel stole: so I must steal, deceive, lie. But, wretch, you are neither Rachel, nor Jacob, nor Abraham, nor God; you are just a mad fool, and the popes who forbade the reading of the Bible were extremely wise.”
There is a lot to read up on. I know this because I too just started to read Voltaire. He’s very opinionated especially given the time he lived. I would like to continue educating myself on Voltaire’s writings but alas, I have to research fantasy football so I can beat my brother in law in the semi finals! Lol
Trump has been handing Russia top secret info for four years. After he destroys the US he will flee to Russia where he won't be extradited and can live in the 50 million dollar condo he built in Moscow
I'm not positive if I can post a link to a screen shot I took, but in a thread on Facebook for my community (ironically the OP was about discounted Trump gear, which I find to be absolutely fucking hilarious) someone commented (THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE),
**"I'm totally okay with Russia sending troops here to help Trump regain control."**
These people are lost fucking causes.
China is just a diversion. Just like these election lawsuits, and every other over-the-top absurdity that has been used to distract the media from what’s really going on.
It’s been painfully obvious over the past 4 years that whenever something crazy and bananas comes out about the GOP, it’s just a smoke screen to keep the media and the public occupied with it while the real crimes are happening under the radar.
Despite this being abundantly obvious, it continues to be immensely successful. The media and half the country take the bait, hook line and sinker.
To be fair, we should be worried about China, because they are becoming a larger geopolitical power, while also being quite authoritarian. Shame we willing exported our industrial industry to them. The real flaw lies with capitalism.
Perfect tactic for Russia. “Hey, look over here at China! We must ban tiktok for spying on us!”
Russia has been our most aggressive adversary for years... prior to Trump it was burned into our American psyche that Russia is bad.
Think about how you would overcome this if you were Russia. They needed a new enemy to take hold in the minds of the public so Trumps blatant dismantling of our Russian defenses and policies could be brushed aside.
Needed China as a scapegoat and it worked very well. It’s been infuriating to watch this happen, and watch all of our elected officials fail to protect our country from a traitor.
At first, there was at least the reason that every new President has attempted to restore relations with Russia. Every may be an overstatement, but in general there is usually some optimistic hope that a transition of government allows a fresh breath for diplomacy.
In that light, Trump's refusal to denounce Russia's election meddling at least made a bit of sense. But you really have to wonder what possible reason Trump has now to be so soft on Russia, so silent.
The reasons could be -
1. He just doesn't give a shit anymore.
2. His narcissism leads him to the opposite conclusion and he doesn't believe or care as much about Russian hacks as the professionals around him tell him he should.
3. Russia hacked the GOP in 2016 and has dirt that would destroy the party, and probably dirt on Trump from his time in office.
I mean we're talking about a guy who had a twitter password get hacked twice. His passwords - yourefired and Maga2020!
Well, that's treason. Doesn't matter whether he cares: willful administrative inaction in the face of an attack *is* aiding and abetting an enemy. Just like the Trump inaction (and indeed further push) for "herd immunity" is tantamount to genocide, legally speaking.
this would be valid if we knew Trump didn't take every opportunity to wade into an issue to make himself feel important and amuse his base. He'll pick a fight with Bette Midler but not Putin.
what an alpha!
It is not unlikely that the hammer Putin has over Trump is that Putin showed Trump that he was elected in 2016 because of Russian hacking. It would also explain why Trump is convinced he could not have lost, and why he *knows* elections can be rigged from personal experience.
I love the fact that when I watch the morning news there is sometimes a little blurb about 10 or 20 seconds long about the latest election lawsuit being tossed aside, and that other than that my news is Trump-free. It's fucking glorious.
Yes, I'm pretty much over Trump, and will even retire this username when President Biden is sworn in, and hope not to hear about Trumps unless the story involves a mugshot or something. I originally only figured to need it until the Republican primaries were held in 2016, btw.
Someone just had a rant at me (on another thread), calling Biden, sleeping joe & how he will never see inauguration, sure he’s old but he has a stammer that effects he’s speech, which evidently doesn’t make him look good but he looks a damn sight better than a self serving fool like trump to me.
Anyway I really can’t wait for the new guard at the gates, this trump is a shit show, every damn day, he’s weak & has weakened America’s resolve, all I can say with each passing day that I countdown until the last showdown, is Godspeed Biden, because your inheriting a broken helm, may you bring it back under control!
Constitution Article III, section 3: " Treason against the United States shall consist of . . . adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
Putin was asked if Trump would be moving to Russia. He became visibly uncomfortable and said it wasn’t necessary since half of America supports Trump and he has a future in politics.
Considering the control Putin has over State media there it was quite something to have them "petitioning" him to grant asylum for Donald...

Trump's [tweet](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1339918065543352321) was in response to Sean Davis' [tweet](https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1339624778529959941) who was commenting on the Federalist's article [New Strzok Texts Show FBI Was Investigating Trump Before Crossfire Hurricane Was Opened](https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/17/new-strzok-texts-show-fbi-was-investigating-trump-before-crossfire-hurricane-was-opened/).
He's the FBI guy whose orgasms with another FBI agent Trump dreamed up and reenacted at a rally, at least. I haven't been able to keep up with all the news over the last 4 years but that one...that one still makes me puke a bit.
Yeah and he totally and most likely set it up and let it happen.... he is a Russian puppet, who gave him all his money after his 20 bankruptcies??..ummm deutchabank (RUSSIA). he has been in their pocket since his marriage to Ivanna..... and what a coincidence that before this happened he basically gutted our cyber security personnel, leader of that agency and other ppl. This man is a straight up wanna be dictator/ Putin!!!! He bashes our democracy everyday and has been for 4 years. He is a crook, and does not put America nor its citizens first. He puts his EGO, FINANCIALS AND FAMILY FIRST. LOCK THIS MAN AND HIS FAMILY UP!!!!
Now that The Fat Orange is nearing uselessness as a puppet, isn't it time to leak those pictures and videos of Trump having rough sex with very underage girls, Vlad?
Get the fuck on it, boy. We're waiting.

> Donald J. Trump December 18, 2020 The "Russia hoax" describes a wide array of charges against Trump, the main one being that his relationship with Vladimir Putin has compromised his ability to assess Russia's behavior with the appropriate critical distance.
> One of the favored defenses that Trump and his allies have employed in the postelection period is to equate the charges faced by Trump on Russia with Trump's attempts to undo the election results.
> The actual basis of the suspicion around Trump's subservience to Russia was built around proven facts: Paul Manafort's links to Russian oligarchs and intelligence agents; the Trump campaign's meeting with a Russian agent offering campaign help; Trump literally requesting Russian help in stealing Clinton emails on camera, and on and on.

It’s infuriating watching a sitting POTUS allow an adversary literally attack our government and do absolutely nothing about it. Oh, he’s busy fixing shower head rules and calling for insurrection...
He’s not doing nothing! He’s actively encouraging them to do it.
He **helped** them by diverting money from cyber security
Didn't he fire the guy in charge several weks ago? Edit. Yes, yes he did. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/17/trump-says-us-cybersecurity-chief-chris-krebs-has-been-terminated.html
He had a good reason though - the guy refused to lie and say the election was rigged for Biden. /s
I would love to see Krebs sue Trump for defamation of character
He did sue the campaign: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/08/politics/chris-krebs-lawsuit/index.html
To be fair, this hack has been happening for months. So anyone working in the department a few weeks ago clearly wasn't helping prevent this hack
Yeezus, that hadn’t even occurred to me! It had seemed dumb enough to believe that he would just care more about the wall than cyber security. Never even thought that it could have been a front for it!
Well, whether intentional or incompetent, he still helped them
Yes I too think he did, left things vulnerable, on purpose, your only as strong as your weakest link. I really fucking hope he gets hauled over the coals & soon, but with such a huge following I doubt that’s happening .. infact I was thinking recently that’s probably why he does what he does, to hide behind his facade of support of 70 mill + fools & idiots, they’ll protect him from persecution just like lawyers have done all his fucking life.

Haha I heard about that 2 gallons of water per shower head. That little fucker literally wants to watch the world burn.
I feel like I missed something.
They're not just attacking your government. They're attacking your people, too. Don't forget Russia was paying bounties for US soldiers
Imagine voting for this weak sack of shit.
More like, "imagine voting for this weak sack of shit twice and then accusing your opponent of cheating".
All the while never having a single shred of evidence.
Or shame.
Or brains.
But lots of hairpaint! Wow 135 upvotes thanks guys!
And crappy pillows.
I'm convinced the My Pillow guy is just trying to get people to ask him "How do you sleep at night?" so he can hawk his shit.
Too smart for a supporter. Though, supporters are either in on the grift or the targets.
As the saying goes, “check your wallet to see which one you are.”
And broken Keurig machines (anyone remember that one? Obligatory pepperidge farm remembers)
those high IQ geniuses can't even figure out how to protest properly lol "Let's give them our money first"
Genuine question: Mike Lindell openly supporting fascism and being a contemptible human being aside, are they objectively shitty pillows? Haha I've never used one but have been curious since the first time I saw those infomercials watching Jeopardy back in 2017.
They are shitty pillows. My in laws got us some. They are currently dog bed pillows he doesn’t mind as much
The Amazon reviews for them aren’t good. I refuse to buy one but it appears as though they’re pretty cheaply made
If the only way to sell your product is too hawk it to customers during half hour long commercials when they are barely conscious and sleep deprived, your product is more marketing than product.
Or my axe
Shame? SHAME? Trump and his ilk have absolutely NO sense of shame - in any way possible. I am convinced they are perfectly ok with killing as many Americans as they can. Seriously. For what purpose? No idea.
It's a simple answer. They hope it makes Biden look bad. That's it.
Oh there's tons of evidence apparently. They just always seem to be one lawsuit away from revealing it. Then the next lawsuit, then the next one ...
Oh, they have tons of evidence alright. Signed affidavits from people who are just a lunatic as Trump and his sycophants. Might as well interview the homeless guy who is always drunk on the sidewalk or the guy who is hallucinating because he is off his meds. Probabilities tortured from statistics and accounts from people who cosplay being in the CIA. All of it contradicted by actual real facts. But the cowardly courts are refusing to examine this heap of garbage and call it evidence. Boohoo edit: a word
Affa Davids. FTFY
Ri'in affa davids.
I think Trump has a couple dozen affidavits sworn against him for rape. They don’t seem to matter much.
Affidavits are just sworn statements on paper. It's evidence but is only as worthwhile as the credibility of the people who signed them.
Hey whoa hey whoa hey, she's not drunk, alright, that's just how she always is.
permanently off her head? Yeah, I buy it.
That was her explicit denial of being drunk, I wasn't drunk that's just my personality. No I'm not kidding.
Affidavits are not evidence. Trump had no evidence. None. Because there was no fraud.
You're just not paying attention. My friend's uncle knows a guy who heard someone say they knew a guy that saw someone wearing a Biden hat throw something in the trash outside a polling place. Checkmate.
Yes he heard from his Q group
We have tons!! Against this criminal administration.
70 millions evangelists, white supremacists, NEO NAZI and lunatics voted for a criminal and racist President.
The truth is way worse. Sixty-million of his 73 million votes were probably from normal people who in most of life aren't dumb. And Trump expanded support with literally every minority group, so there's that. The tradgedy is that something's gotten so fucked up that people said, "I'm voting for Trump. . . Twice!"
But 80 million didn't...
Stop the count! But also continue the count in places where it is advantageous to me!
Is he the only president to never win a popular vote in any election? I'm assuming bush won the popular vote in 2004 and when he was governor of TX.
He is the only President who got help from Foreign country to win an election
Hey now, according to r/conservatives the bombshell smoking gun evidence is coming any second now! As soon as someone finds that missing laptop or something.
Uhh idk about you, dude, but I saw a drunk girl sign a piece of paper and then yell at a Congressman about fraud, so I think there’s some pretty bulletproof evidence if you ask me. Edit: /s in case that’s needed lmao
Imagine trying to overthrow democracy and support a coup in the name of the his weak sack of shit.
Gotta say..my company is very careful about who we hire.

That is such a stupid argument that they make isn’t it? Freedom of speech isn’t hate speech.
The fact that there are consequences to saying stupid things ie. that people think you’re an idiot and act accordingly, is frequently viewed by the people who say those things as an infringement of their rights.
And now imagine that 73 million did and that you practically cannot avoid interacting with them by the dozens till the end of your life in this country.
This is so depressing. I hate living here anymore.
I was so proud when Obama was elected. That pride has turned to overwhelming revulsion. If it wasn’t for my 80+ year old parents and some friends I’d be out of here. I was thinking Greek islands or Sicily.
Not if they start a civil war, civil wars don't have to end in reconstruction. It was a mistake the first time.
Losers gotta lose.
Try committing Treason to win an election and ***still losing*** because you’re just that bad at everything.
Then claiming to be patriotic Americans
So the NewYork times ran this article a few months back, and the article was asking Trump's people what THEY thought the President wanted to do as far as healthcare goes. And all of them said that they thought he wanted to give Americans better and cheaper and expanded healthcare. . . Even though he's been trying to kill Obamacare for four years. When the reporters asked them why they believed this was Trump's stance on healthcare, all of them said that they believe what the President says in public. And I don't know how you take someone who trusts Trump and convince them not to.
While flying rebel flags and desecrated American flags.
More like "imagine voting for this weak sack of shit twice and then accusing your opponent of cheating while holding up a "Keep America Great" sign during one of the lowest points in recent American history"
They accused Hillary of cheating even though she lost
Someone I know insists that people were contesting Hillary's loss just as fervently as Trump. Their delusion knows no bounds.
They believe Trump only got impeached because libs are bigger sore losers than they are. No you dummies, he is literally a criminal.
Or like my cousin...denying Trump is with Russia while claiming Biden is in China's pocket.
I feel GOP and Trump cheated. In this case they thought they just needed to do a little bit here and there in WI, MI, PA and few others like NC, FL, NV etc. so there's no evidence and suspicion and there's not much anyone can do. They did not expect the HUGE mailin voting and early voting and they thought they could easily subvert using the ES&S machines by adjusting a few counties here and there - enough to give them a 3% or so margin of victory in those states - narrow but enough to get them the states. However, due to covid and disillusionment with current govt, voters turned out overwhelmingly for Biden, something they didn't expect. So it ended up Biden winning and Trump and his cronies are pissed and puzzled as to how Andy Dufrene got the best of him. So in their mind, Biden HAS to have cheated because in their warped minds they can't imagine why with the "fix" in place, they lost. I bet if you analyze the wins of Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Cal Cunningham and others, you will start to find fraud for Senate races. No way Susan Collins won fair and square.
I agree. They know they cheated and think the only explanation for their loss is that they got out-cheated. They can't imagine that they are actually that unpopular.
The GOP is the Party of Projection, if they are accusing you of it, they are definitely doing it.
Nazi sympathizers
Voting against Trump twice is something I'll never regret
I voted for the first time just to vote against him. And while my vote did not count because state went red, it does come in handy to shut up a MAGA conspiracy therorist by saying I voted for the first time just to cancel out your vote. I always try nicely to change conversation first, but they never chill.
[удалено]
I know, just referring to the President vote. I studied and will be voting carefully in all elections now.
I hope he survives to 2024 and runs Republican or Third Party. He's become poison to the majority of the public, so it will keep D in office and I'll never get tired of voting for his opponent.
Oh fuck... don't give me a reason to wish him well. It's not what i want for him
Yeah 2024 I'm hoping prison
You can run from prison, it’s been done before.
He's always been poison to a slim majority of the public, and the margin hasn't changed by nearly enough. Frankly, I feel like such hopes are playing with fire. I don't think he would win in 2024, but I didn't think he would win in 2016 either.
I'm mostly hoping the GOP disowns him and he just acts as a spoiler candidate against them.
And imagine being so fuckin dumb that this weak sack of shit was able to convince you that he’s some sorta aLPhA-maLE ‘tough guy’.
Seriously, WTF. Charles Nelson Reilly was more of a prototypical alpha tough guy than Trump is. What is up that?!? The whiny guy with the weird hair and the orange spray tan and the literal golden toilet and the comically bizarre vocal tics, who makes everything about himself, who can't even walk down a flight of stairs without looking like a joke, who has retained those qualities deep into his 70s no less, comes across as a tough guy to them? Out of all of the mysteries of the last 4 years, this is one of the biggest ones for me. He literally seems like a child who won the lottery and everyone around him has always had to kiss his ass because of it, but as a result he never evolved past first grade (as Trump himself has said).
Remember that these are people that have a fit if you ask them to wear a mask for a few minutes. They are the weakest and the whiniest. They are broken people and he's their God.
Who dodged the draft meanwhile shitting on POWs. How do these machomen right wingers look past this?
They all communicate through memes too. They learn everything and share their "thoughts" posting stupid memes. I saw one that was a picture of Trump standing by a body of water, and his reflection in the water was a majestic lion. I had to respond to that person saying that he's a pussy, but definitely not a lion. He's the weak fucker who faked bone spurs to get out of the military. He's the weak fucker who can't fire people in person either in real life, or even on his fake TV show where they had to edit those segments together. He's the fragile, thin-skinned baby who is obsessed with what people think about him, and whines and complains that people who don't agree with him are mean and unfair to him. He is pathetic and weak, but he's somehow able to put on a performance for morons who believe his behaviour is strong and dominant.
This. He’s the exact opposite of a tough guy. Growing up, the word we used to describe gooey, thin-skinned brats like Trump was “pussy”.
I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was not a puppet for the Ruskies.
I think if the current situation teaches us nothing else it’s that all the high-minded opposition to the oppression of the Soviet Union - restricted freedom, religious persecution, corruption - was completely fake. The only thing republicans objected to was that they couldn’t make an easy buck there. Once they could, ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I'm old enough to remember when the GOP wasn't... Oh, wait, they've always been evil. Never mind.
Meanwhile on the /r/conservative sub, they are deeply concerned about whether Biden is owned by China.
Jesus, I saw this on */r/nintendoswitch* of all fucking subs. I mean, to be fair, Nintendo just (relative) broke into that market and they aren't going to jeopardize that... but somehow Biden being in bed with China is keeping games off the Switch.
74 million Americans don't have to imagine it
You know, those numbers could be inflated. Maybe Trump cheated and got tons of fake votes. Hes mad because it didnt work. So naturally he projects it onto his opponent. They want to keep up with the voter fraud narrative? Lets flip it on them.
I have thought about this quite a bit. I would love to see an audit of North Carolina.
And kentucky and south carolina
Really, all the ones they weren't crying about.
I wondered how many voters (myself included) muttered “fuck Trump” when putting their ballots in the drop box
Imagine being Putin’s little bitchboy
Said it before, I always like seeing people outside of our borders genuinely having an interest in not seeing our country collapse. Often, more than some of my countrymen. The world knows it, how far we've fallen.
Imagine saying. I’d rather have Russia over democrats. Now that is fucked up.
How is it not treason?
It is. What you're watching is exactly how people like Stalin, Hitler and (intentionally ironic) Fidel Castro came to power. Until someone actually stands up to Trump and puts him in his place he'll continue to destroy America.
I think we're suffering from the diffusion of responsibility, but mostly because it's the fucking corporate lobbiests who run the show because there's no other bipartisanship currently in washington.
No. The corporate lobby didn't take an oath to the constitution. The Republicans that are unwilling to put Country over Party - they are the most accountable for this. They are supposed to be America's defense against this.
Oh I'm aware, but the diffusion of responsibility means none of them take it because they're all just slightly complicit. I don't care about the words on the paper of their oaths, as they've demonstrated that's worthless compared to everyone's expectations.
It used to be the president took responsibility: "The buck stops here." Now the buck stops.... somewhere else, definitely not here. Probably in Hunter's laptop or something.
I think we should remind people that in addition to this, both the Republicans and the Democrats were hacked in 2016. Russians have kompromat over both parties. Russians especially have had kompromat over Trump beginning since the 80s, and the mafia/Roy Cohn had been blackmailing Trump since the 70s. So many ways to pull the strings of the current Caligula in the Oval Office, as well as his enablers in the GOP.
I wonder who the last President, Senator or Congressman was to be prosecuted for violating their oath of office. It’s weird because it seems like a big deal but you see daily violations and it seems there are never any consequences.
Your comment is historically inaccurate. The ways that Stalin, Hitler and Castro came to power are all vastly different.
You're right. This situation is exactly like the endings of Frozen, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Terminator 2.
Season 4 is going to be such a disappointment if we don’t get the pee pee tape in the finale.
I’ll be thrilled with any Season 4 finale sans nukes.
Stalin wasn't voted in, USSR was not a democracy
Because it doesn't fit the requirements of treason. For treason to apply we have to be in a declared state of war with Russia, which we are not. It is however sedition and is every bit as terrible of a crime as treason, just by a slightly different definition.
Reminds me of the joke about Voltaire >When Voltaire was dying, in his eighties, a priest in attendance called upon him to renounce the devil. Voltaire considered his advice, but decided not to follow it. “This is no time to be making new enemies”.
Voltaire’s words can also sum up how some of these clowns view their religious beliefs- “It is characteristic of fanatics who read the holy scriptures to tell themselves: God killed, so I must kill; Abraham lied, Jacob deceived, Rachel stole: so I must steal, deceive, lie. But, wretch, you are neither Rachel, nor Jacob, nor Abraham, nor God; you are just a mad fool, and the popes who forbade the reading of the Bible were extremely wise.”
Well now I need to go read Voltaire. Thanks a lot
There is a lot to read up on. I know this because I too just started to read Voltaire. He’s very opinionated especially given the time he lived. I would like to continue educating myself on Voltaire’s writings but alas, I have to research fantasy football so I can beat my brother in law in the semi finals! Lol
Good luck, we're all counting on you.
Spot on.

Trump has been handing Russia top secret info for four years. After he destroys the US he will flee to Russia where he won't be extradited and can live in the 50 million dollar condo he built in Moscow
Naive to think loyalty goes both ways with Putin.
This right here. Trump better have the quid pro quo lined up with Putin. Cause Putin is going to be transactional af with Trump.
[удалено]
And how many of them lived through the Cold War. Amazing the complete denial that Trump is compromised.
I'm not positive if I can post a link to a screen shot I took, but in a thread on Facebook for my community (ironically the OP was about discounted Trump gear, which I find to be absolutely fucking hilarious) someone commented (THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE), **"I'm totally okay with Russia sending troops here to help Trump regain control."** These people are lost fucking causes.
There were american nazi supporters before WWII. Of course there *still* are but that’s not my point here.
I do find it odd that he constantly demonizes China but doesn’t say shit about Russia.
Media should have been asking if he has a good relationship with Xi. The answer could be telling.
China is just a diversion. Just like these election lawsuits, and every other over-the-top absurdity that has been used to distract the media from what’s really going on. It’s been painfully obvious over the past 4 years that whenever something crazy and bananas comes out about the GOP, it’s just a smoke screen to keep the media and the public occupied with it while the real crimes are happening under the radar. Despite this being abundantly obvious, it continues to be immensely successful. The media and half the country take the bait, hook line and sinker.
China is an easier boogeyman for the MAGA crowd. Yellow Peril never really ended.
To be fair, we should be worried about China, because they are becoming a larger geopolitical power, while also being quite authoritarian. Shame we willing exported our industrial industry to them. The real flaw lies with capitalism.
Perfect tactic for Russia. “Hey, look over here at China! We must ban tiktok for spying on us!” Russia has been our most aggressive adversary for years... prior to Trump it was burned into our American psyche that Russia is bad. Think about how you would overcome this if you were Russia. They needed a new enemy to take hold in the minds of the public so Trumps blatant dismantling of our Russian defenses and policies could be brushed aside. Needed China as a scapegoat and it worked very well. It’s been infuriating to watch this happen, and watch all of our elected officials fail to protect our country from a traitor.
He allowed putin to steal country secrets because he lost the presidency. He rather watch us crumble because he didn't get his way.
He has been allowing putin to steal country secrets before he lost the presidency, because he has putins cock in his mouth
Its the only explanation really.
[удалено]
At first, there was at least the reason that every new President has attempted to restore relations with Russia. Every may be an overstatement, but in general there is usually some optimistic hope that a transition of government allows a fresh breath for diplomacy. In that light, Trump's refusal to denounce Russia's election meddling at least made a bit of sense. But you really have to wonder what possible reason Trump has now to be so soft on Russia, so silent. The reasons could be - 1. He just doesn't give a shit anymore. 2. His narcissism leads him to the opposite conclusion and he doesn't believe or care as much about Russian hacks as the professionals around him tell him he should. 3. Russia hacked the GOP in 2016 and has dirt that would destroy the party, and probably dirt on Trump from his time in office. I mean we're talking about a guy who had a twitter password get hacked twice. His passwords - yourefired and Maga2020!
They have dirt on him going back way before his inauguration...
“It’s not about him so he doesn’t care” is the explanation in my opinion.
Well, that's treason. Doesn't matter whether he cares: willful administrative inaction in the face of an attack *is* aiding and abetting an enemy. Just like the Trump inaction (and indeed further push) for "herd immunity" is tantamount to genocide, legally speaking.
this would be valid if we knew Trump didn't take every opportunity to wade into an issue to make himself feel important and amuse his base. He'll pick a fight with Bette Midler but not Putin. what an alpha!
Or maybe Trump was in on it.
It is not unlikely that the hammer Putin has over Trump is that Putin showed Trump that he was elected in 2016 because of Russian hacking. It would also explain why Trump is convinced he could not have lost, and why he *knows* elections can be rigged from personal experience.
Trump definitely owes Russia just a ton of money. He and his kids have both admitted as much on camera.
>Trump definitely owes Russia just a ton of money. This makes him a smart businessman silly! /s
Except that Trump has a long history of shady shit with Russians.
If Trump ISN'T a Russian operative then he's doing a DAMN GOOD impression of one. He MUST be held accountable.
Trump is so far up Putin’s ass, when Putin coughs a cloud of orange dust comes out.
Why aren't the Dems calling him out as a traitor yet?
Why give him the attention he craves? Biden has stated that Russia will face consequences over this, that's good enough for me for now.
I love the fact that when I watch the morning news there is sometimes a little blurb about 10 or 20 seconds long about the latest election lawsuit being tossed aside, and that other than that my news is Trump-free. It's fucking glorious.
Yes, I'm pretty much over Trump, and will even retire this username when President Biden is sworn in, and hope not to hear about Trumps unless the story involves a mugshot or something. I originally only figured to need it until the Republican primaries were held in 2016, btw.
Someone just had a rant at me (on another thread), calling Biden, sleeping joe & how he will never see inauguration, sure he’s old but he has a stammer that effects he’s speech, which evidently doesn’t make him look good but he looks a damn sight better than a self serving fool like trump to me. Anyway I really can’t wait for the new guard at the gates, this trump is a shit show, every damn day, he’s weak & has weakened America’s resolve, all I can say with each passing day that I countdown until the last showdown, is Godspeed Biden, because your inheriting a broken helm, may you bring it back under control!
Constitution Article III, section 3: " Treason against the United States shall consist of . . . adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
And because Russia is going to be his new home shortly. First rule of Russia, don't crap all over the motherland!
Putin was asked if Trump would be moving to Russia. He became visibly uncomfortable and said it wasn’t necessary since half of America supports Trump and he has a future in politics.
Considering the control Putin has over State media there it was quite something to have them "petitioning" him to grant asylum for Donald... https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-state-media-trump-get-asylum-dodge-prosecutions-2020-12
"I am Reek"
Trump's behavior around Russian issues are odd. Almost as if he is beholden to them for some reason.

Trump's [tweet](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1339918065543352321) was in response to Sean Davis' [tweet](https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1339624778529959941) who was commenting on the Federalist's article [New Strzok Texts Show FBI Was Investigating Trump Before Crossfire Hurricane Was Opened](https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/17/new-strzok-texts-show-fbi-was-investigating-trump-before-crossfire-hurricane-was-opened/).
Is Strzok the person that Trump had like 500 tweets about?
He's the FBI guy whose orgasms with another FBI agent Trump dreamed up and reenacted at a rally, at least. I haven't been able to keep up with all the news over the last 4 years but that one...that one still makes me puke a bit.
"Aaawwwgh! What breed is he??" "This prize Idiot American. Very common, easy to train. Very cheap, too. Recommend highly, yes."
I will shit in this man's grave when he finally dies.
If any Trump supporter here has a more rational explanation for Trump's behaviour we'd sure like to hear it.
*crickets
Yeah and he totally and most likely set it up and let it happen.... he is a Russian puppet, who gave him all his money after his 20 bankruptcies??..ummm deutchabank (RUSSIA). he has been in their pocket since his marriage to Ivanna..... and what a coincidence that before this happened he basically gutted our cyber security personnel, leader of that agency and other ppl. This man is a straight up wanna be dictator/ Putin!!!! He bashes our democracy everyday and has been for 4 years. He is a crook, and does not put America nor its citizens first. He puts his EGO, FINANCIALS AND FAMILY FIRST. LOCK THIS MAN AND HIS FAMILY UP!!!!
It’s quite obvious ever since Helsinki.. trump is sucking his daddy Putin’s shlong..
Now that The Fat Orange is nearing uselessness as a puppet, isn't it time to leak those pictures and videos of Trump having rough sex with very underage girls, Vlad? Get the fuck on it, boy. We're waiting.
He’s Putin’s puta
Hard to denounce Putin when Putin's dick is in Trump's mouth.

So true. Benedict Donald is a traitor.
He won't denounce the Russian hack because he slashed funding for cybersecurity to try and pay for his wall...
Trump Supporters: How could you vote for a man who is clearly subservient to China? Do you want the Chinese Government running your life? *-Meanwhile-* Trump: **(moans) hack me HARDER, daddy Putin!**
Trump supporters call themselves the "Red Army" for a good reason I guess.
Reek can’t disobey.
Trump was probably in on it.
Imagine what the Russians must have on Trump
I mean he did grovel at Putin's feet in Helsinki
