..so I'm gonna' to quit worrying about it.
Some reporters are saying Trump spends his days asking people if they believe the election was rigged against him. People in the White House say "yes" to avoid being screamed at, threatened or fired. Politicians say "yes" so as not to lose his favor. And maybe all that reinforces his planned-in-advance-strategy to have a lost election overturned simply because he didn't want to lose. Maybe not, but he keeps telling the world "I won the election" in spite of the overwhelming evidence indicating he didn't.
The day of reckoning will be Jan 6, 2021 when the electoral votes are counted and VP Pence announces 306 for Biden and 232 for Trump..."This announcement of the state of the vote...shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected as the President and Vice-President of the United States."
That's the way it's supposed to go...
And It All Started With...
Trump quote: "..the only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged... "
He lost, therefore the election was rigged. At this point, no amount of rational, logical argument to the contrary will change the mindset of tens of millions of people...

"Uprise" Against Whom?
Crazy people in AZ talking about dying for Trump and Trump supporters wanting to "uprise"...that last part is more or less an attempted coup and only Trump and the GOP is getting away with that.

What Exactly Is The Point Of Confusion?
Jordan wants to "figure out exactly what took place"...is it not obvious?

Really?
I turned on cable news this morning...Senators Kennedy on Fox and Cornyn on MSNBC were discussing Biden's choice of Bacerra to head HHS, questioning his "credentials" or lack thereof, to run the department.
I don't know what the head of HHS does nor what experience one would need to do it but when you consider the number of incompetent loyalists Trump picked to fill high level positions in his administration, who the hell can question any of Biden's choices...regardless their liberal viewpoints?
Why Doesn't Somebody Arrest Him?

Trump Isn't The Problem...
..he is the accelerant exposing the problem. In 2016, he promised several things but "building a great wall" and banning Muslims from entering the country were IMO the two items that most of his supporters heard.
Donald Trump didn't invent xenophobia...we can change Presidents via elections but that won't change the mindset of 50+ million people.
Question For The Forum Lawyers
Is there not some point in time when the courts can tell Rudy enough already? What little I see and comprehend from all the cases that have been filed, appear to be the same or similar complaints about the "process" or unsubstantiated illegal ballots. Or is it simply that the system is set up in such a way, the courts are obliged to consider(?) a case?
As Spock Would Say...
..the election outcome was simple logic. Trump lost the 2016 popular vote, he lost the 2020 popular vote, he consistently trailed Biden in the polls, his approval rating was consistently in the low 40s and polls consistently indicated ±65% of the people thought the country was not on the right track. On top of all that, suppressing mail in ballots is less effective, 20M more votes were cast and many people were determined to vote, with the suppression tactics, like standing in line for 6-8 hours.
Had Biden lost, that would have been suspicious...
