That is not anger - go look at many of your posts for real anger.

I think I asked if you were trying to be petty and then said it doesn't come naturally to you.

“I’m a juror and I’m comfortable not speaking,” Sen. James E. Risch (R-Idaho) said. Pressed again for comment, he reiterated, “I said I’m comfortable not speaking.”

“I’d be a juror, so I have no comment,” Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said.

Those willing to pay up need to ask John for his charity of choice, or John can let you know how to make out a check and he can collect and let us know who ended up being all talk.

I expect Trump will loose even after legal proceedings which should be exhausted, are exhausted, and after states declare winners, not the press.

IF this still stands, and I expect it will, I encourage you to donate to an Animal Shelter, because helping Animals is an area where we all can agree ; )

If Republicans had any real challenges to votes, they’d be in court. The thing about that is, you have to make actual factual allegations, not just assertions, & lawyers have a duty of candor to the court-they can’t make representations that they know are untrue.

Only Trump and Trumps TV lawyers and followers are making these representation , let’s see what the ones in front of the judges say. And how they plan on getting 50 thousand votes thrown out in penn 20k Wisconsin Michigan 146k Nevada 40k Arizona 20k.

But Arkansas Trump won by 337k I see dead people . Trump should file a lawsuit .. how did Biden get 100 thousand votes

Trump campaign examples of alleged voter fraud in Nevada turn out to be members of the military and their families who legally voted after being transferred to serve elsewhere.

The first person Rudy Giuliani called up as a witness to baseless allegations of vote counting shenanigans in Philadelphia during his press conference last week at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, next to Fantasy Island Adult Books, across from the Delaware Valley Cremation Center is a sex offender who for years has been a perennial candidate in NJ.
“Brooks was incarcerated in the 1990s on charges of sexual assault, lewdness and endangering the welfare of a minor for exposing himself to two girls ages 7 and 11, according to news accounts.”

In 2000, the heaviest of political hitters & pre-eminent election lawyers flanked Gore & George Bush during the Florida recount.

Today, Trump has his A team:

Rudy Giuliani

Pam Bondi

C Lewandowski_

Matt Gaetz

Ted Cruz

Sekulow

The 2020 general election inspired record turnout, even amid a pandemic. The Democratic ticket prevailed for the presidency. Republicans gained House seats and state legislature majorities. You win some, you lose some, and that’s democracy for you.

If you don't get over it and spend the next 4 years looking backwards, you will waste that significant advantage.

Nobody likes a losing whiner and 78 million Americans voted against Trump.

So there are two Senate seats at stake in Georgia but folks are being asked to donate to a legal defense fund that is being used to settle campaign debts.
Remember the Stable Geniuses own words

"I supported him. He lost. He let us down...
So I never liked him much after that, because I don't like losers."

do you seriously not see any irony in that statement, given how democrats acted for the last 4 years?

i happen to agree with your notion, it’s just absurd that for 4 years all you did was “not get over”. the 2016 election.

so it’s ok when liberals throw a temper tantrum, but republicans should suck it up?
