If there's anything I've learned these past couple of years of Trump, it's that his supporters are quite literally cult followers incapable of thinking for themselves. Trump and his media talking-heads guide their every thought.How many times does he have to pull this stunt before you start being skeptical and actually give his claims a long hard look instead of simply assuming them to be true?
Sounds like you've had an entirely unproductive couple years where you accomplished nothing beyond deceiving yourself to rationalize your resentment.If there's anything I've learned these past couple of years of Trump, it's that his supporters are quite literally cult followers incapable of thinking for themselves.

Biden knew Trump was going to act like this if he lost and had already set up his transition team months before the election. Hes been gathering swathes of data for a while. Trump's current behavior was expected and planned for.Someone can explain to me why "throw more money" supposed to ensure a peaceful transition of power?
Is this another "quirk" of american politics?
Honestly sounds like he was paying close attention. Anyone remember Day 2 of his presidency when his cultists said it had been sunny when it was raining and there were tens of millions of people at his inauguration? Day 2 and the claim is he made the sun shine and created masses of people from thin air. If that's not religious doctrine I don't know what is.(Hint: I do know what doctrine is, and that is it.)Sounds like you've had an entirely unproductive couple years where you accomplished nothing beyond deceiving yourself to rationalize your resentment.
Weird because I'd think this would constitute mis-information as the transition doesn't normally officially begin until after the EC vote and doing stuff earlier is only done as a courtesy. But Twitter hasn't marked this as misinformationkek, please give us money, DNC can't afford it
Wait you're saying lies and threats don't matter? You really want to set that precedent to the future of politics in the USA?You hear that? That's the sound of irrelevance because the votes were already cast and Biden won the state anyway.
Actually this is one of these cases where everyone is right..............Trump claimed this, yes, but it was obviously and demonstrably a lie. Both the numbers of registered voters and the number of ballots cast are publicly available details.
Yeaurgh, pretty scummy.
Less so than Trump's "recount fund", of course, which isn't even using the funds for the stated purpose, and is just paying off his massive debts.
The DNC was nearly going broke that's how Hillary was able to become nominee last time by essentially taking over and giving the DNC an allowance out of campiagn funds last time. This time I have to image the DNC still isn't doing much better financially so this is am attempt to fill in the massive debt hole the DNC still has.Someone can explain to me why "throw more money" supposed to ensure a peaceful transition of power?
Is this another "quirk" of american politics?
yeh but hasn't everyone been saying Trump's cases lack merit and are baseless so why would you have to bother fighting them when they're getting thrown out anyway?Paying things like salaries is a big one. Another would be legal fees related to Trump's lawsuits; just having competent representation show up on that first day when they're inevitably tossed for lacking evidence costs money.
There's plenty of other non-transition uses though that the tweet likely "forgot" to mention such as paying down debts.
Technically they're by Republican party membership not Trump as such. Trump's official count is 3. If you want to claim they were on behalf of Trump you'd likely be right but Trump's team weren't the specific ones behind the 25.Actually the number filed by the Donald Trump for President Inc. is 28, most of which(like 25) have already been tossed for being frivolous or admitting they have no evidence.
And of course, the media won't criticize this action. Nobody will accuse Biden of filling his own pockets they do with Trump, and any outlets they do will be branded as "alt-right".Weird because I'd think this would constitute mis-information as the transition doesn't normally officially begin until after the EC vote and doing stuff earlier is only done as a courtesy.

It's sad that you'd believe anything that Republicans are saying at this point. Certifying the results is a formality. There was no evidence of any fraud, much less widespread fraud. Any attempt to delay or refuse to certify the results without evidence of any wrongdoing is the actual fuckery. Republicans tried to steal the election, and they tried to do it the way they always have - by disenfranchising minorities. They're nothing but a bunch of authoritarian, criminal, racist and sexist dirtbags.
"None" in this case is synonymous with "effectively nonexistent" and "statistically insignificant" when compared to the scale of millions of votes happening annually.There's no fraud at all you say?
You can argue the scale of the fraud that happened as these range from about 1 vote to about 8,000 but saying there is none is incorrect.
Nah, it's a pretty fair assessment of those who actually like Trump which, certainly, is not everyone who voted for the asshole.Sounds like you've had an entirely unproductive couple years where you accomplished nothing beyond deceiving yourself to rationalize your resentment.
I remember day 1, when Trump's inaugural address said:Honestly sounds like he was paying close attention. Anyone remember Day 2 of his presidency when his cultists said it had been sunny when it was raining and there were tens of millions of people at his inauguration? Day 2 and the claim is he made the sun shine and created masses of people from thin air. If that's not religious doctrine I don't know what is.(Hint: I do know what doctrine is, and that is it.)
And that was Day Fucking 2.
But then again this is the guy who said the access Hollywood tape doesn't sound like him and it wasn't him, so who knows what his cultists are willing to swallow, 'case when you're a celebrity they just let you do it. Grab them by the facts.
Specificity is important otherwise you can argue there were no civilian casualties caused by US forces in a number of wars because they only made up a small number of overall people killed."None" in this case is synonymous with "effectively nonexistent" and "statistically insignificant" when compared to the scale of millions of votes happening annually.
That's completely disingenuous and ignores the major context that they are claiming a MASSIVE CO-ORDINATED CONSPIRACY to steal millions of votes from the fascist try-hard.Specificity is important otherwise you can argue there were no civilian casualties caused by US forces in a number of wars because they only made up a small number of overall people killed.
You don't get to play the game both ways to only benefit and push narratives. It's deceptive at best to try and present no fraud because only some happened.
note: when I posted days after the election there was only 1 case of fraud going through courts now weeks on I can list 8 and that's without a number of mainstream sources wanting to look into or report on it
At worst it's down right cultish to keep stretching the definition of word to try and claim the deception is still accurate. Fraud happened, there was fraud by definition. Not much fraud so far shown but there was still fraud. Just because people are scared of giving an inch if Trump said it was raining and to prepare people would be standing outside in T-shirt getting soaked saying it Trump was lying just and there was no rain at all for fear of being truthful about things.
Reminder. Trumps words were people came to see his inauguration NOT people were at the National MallHonestly sounds like he was paying close attention. Anyone remember Day 2 of his presidency when his cultists said it had been sunny when it was raining and there were tens of millions of people at his inauguration? Day 2 and the claim is he made the sun shine and created masses of people from thin air. If that's not religious doctrine I don't know what is.(Hint: I do know what doctrine is, and that is it.)

I remember day 1, when Trump's inaugural address said:
"We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans."
And the response by the Democrats and the media was that the speech was "dark" and "divisive".
I remember day 2, when the White House exaggerated the crowd size and the media exaggerated it down.
I remember 4 years of misinformation that people all over (including here) still believe in fully in spite of all evidence against, but I'm not going to deny you your humanity because of it. Believing lies doesn't make you a cultist. It might make you a fool, and it might make you a victim, but's it's not more than those things. Believing lies won't make me hate you.
But you are believing untruths on this very topic. I don't know if by lies from others or just from your own imagination, but the idea that people are thoughtlessly following Trump wherever he may lead flies in the face of reality. That's not how Republicans are treating this, that's not how conservative media is treating this.
yes it is completely disingenuous to claim there was no fraud when there was some fraud.That's completely disingenuous and ignores the major context that they are claiming a MASSIVE CO-ORDINATED CONSPIRACY to steal millions of votes from the fascist try-hard.
Everyone knows what saying 'bullshit' to that means, and people have often used cases like those to show the type of fraud that does actually exist and gets exposed, exist in comparison to the lies these idiots are screaming.
Anyone who feels the need to capitalize truth is probably dishonestyes it is completely disingenuous to claim there was no fraud when there was some fraud.
You can say there was No massive co-ordinated fraud. But that's not what was being said by those against Trump they were saying there was 0 fraud. That's rhetoric not reality. If you have to use rhetoric to win then it says you're worried reality doesn't support you and Truth doesn't really matter.
Does Fox News still count as "conservative media"? Because Tucker Ratfucker Carlson is asking Trump's legal team to put up or shut up.I remember day 1, when Trump's inaugural address said:
"We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

Honestly. Parler is actually quite nice.Parler news app downloads surge
Parler was set up to be a nonbiased, free speech-driven platform. It is now America’s No. 1 downloaded news app.www.usatoday.com
If you thought Facebook was bad, wait till you get Parler a Right-wing equivalent.
On one hand, this likely to be another 4chan or even 8chan in that it will be a source of right-wing racism, on the other hand, I am guessing the internet companies, or Google will clamp down on it if there is enough public outcry.
