    Thafs what arguing with the RW is now. They rely exclusively on blogs and talk radio for news, anything else is dismissed out of hand. I’ve been on political forums since the Bush years and it didn’t used to be like this. We used to agree on legitimate sources, and it was a matter of proof or not.

    Agreed. I remember the old USENET days, Clinton admin. I will say that there were signs all over, though, even back in those days.

    It's perhaps fitting that, IMO, the one person who started it all, was given the Medal of Freedom by the end result of his bloviating falsehoods to willing marks across the country.

    "Clinton's pissing me off..." was a semi-weekly complaint from a co-worker back in the '90s. His workstation radio was stuck on Limbaugh, to whom the co-worker eagerly ceded control of his emotions.

    Just remember, if Biden would have lost, there would have been rioting on the streets. Everybody that is honest knows it. Cities would have burned.

    But question the legitimacy of the election, and the left acts like you are committing treason.

    Unreal.

    There used to be a point where the Abject Fantasies of places like Gateway Pundit, Etc. weren't even allowed to be posted in the Serious News Sections (without objective proof).

    Sadly, Trump's Election "legitimized" the Far-RW Conspiratorial "Fringe".

    Ok I am convinced! Basically the machines in Michigan were programmed to shift Trump votes to Biden votes in certain counties. The inflection point was at 20% Republican district and the more Republican the district became the more votes were shifted to Biden. The data is compelling. A manual recount is going to blow up Michigan. This is the smoking gun. We have to have a manual recount in Michigan.

    Analysis done by MIT PHD Shiva Ayyadurai.

    Conspiratorial BS being spread around RW Social Media, that has no basis in (actual) reality.

    Btw--Trump is Complete Toast.

    BIDEN WON! It is over.

    (1) They need to prove the NY Times Data is legit.
    (2) We need a solid programmer to take a look
    On the 2nd Count, I have a world class programmer on my staff that is a real Conservative. He was a Liberal a decade ago when I met him, but has taken a hard turn Right over time. I am going to share this with him and get his view. He is as straight and honest as they come, so it should be interesting.​

    (3) I doubt this is real, but I always look (on either side) when someone provides real evidence. That's something the Left cares not to do.

    That largely went out the window when Obama was elected. When Trump won the presidency it disappeared altogether as Trump fans litter the threads and almost all are impossible to hold a rational conversation with. Trump fans who like those discussions even get attacked for being fake if they engage in any discussion.

    Many libraries that are used to draw charts or process a dataset that has relations in it mimic a lot of SQL rules. If you don’t use such libraries you’d need to reinvent a whole lot of wheels to get your code to execute. Even something as simple as DateTime values would require a lot of work to get the machine to understand time and time intervals, something that it needs in order to produce time series with proportional distances between chart elements, like bars and trend lines. When you join tables outside of SQL, you still need some structure in place for machine to understand how to perform math and do calculations on the data, at least to draw you a nice 2 bar chart that just shows percentages for each candidate.

    Im done going over this, I’ve contributed enough.

    The legitimacy of the election isn't in question. It was one of the smoothest elections in history. There is no evidence of fraud. That's the reality.

    That Trump refuses to accept this reality is what people call treasonous. The People have spoken. Opposing the American People is the most treasonous thing someone can do, and Trump is POTUS. No POTUS has ever acted this way. It's Putinesque, with a hint of Orban. Sprinkled with Erdogan and topped with Kim!

    It's all good, though. He'll be escorted out in a straightjacket if necessary. Best to distance yourself now.

    So when the manual recount doesn’t change anything we can count on you to stop the BS claim that the election was stolen?

    This is all correct in the query writing world with data.

    If we are just doing data work, then we often use an ETL tool like Talend (it's the best) and then the programmers make the modifications you are describing with some Java coding when needed. We created a software that automates the data jobs. You can stack them and run them in order if some data is dependent on a previous job. This can all be set up on a schedule to run.

    The inauguration is not going to stop any of these BS claims. They'll be in their safe zone by then; a lot easier to ignore. The rest of us will just get on with things.

    I’m just hoping we can all start the Biden admin accepting the same reality, but that does se unlikely

    "reportedly" and "claims" are NOT PROOF.

    SHOW ME THE PROOF!



    Is it proof like "I'll build a wall", or I'll disclose my taxes after they're audited" , or "I have great health care plan" ?????

    SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND LIES and "ALTERNATE TRUTHS" and BS


    BIDEN WON and there isn't a thing anyone can do about it...except look foolish by flailing around with NO PROOF.

    No, it doesn't. My hope is that Trump and his remaining followers become irrelevant, if not greatly reduced in numbers. Lots of trump voters out here who pour concrete. They're going to like the work Biden says he'll give them.

    It's not going to be Obama 2. Trump is impotent in attacking Joe Biden. And Joe doesn't flinch. The way I see it, if things pick up economically, which I fully expect them to do, it's going to be awfully difficult for Trump to attack anybody for anything, and hopefully, only a handful of people will remain that care.

    But the gop is going to immediately find their fiscal conservatism again. They’ll spend 4 years screaming about debt and deficits and push austerity measures.

    Agree!! it is not the few good republicans still active on political sites that act that way but it's the extreme RW cabal of QAnon loving aluminum hat wearing kapustaheads that act like that and give good Republicans a bad name.

    I can’t remember the last time I could quote a MSM source on this forum without knowing in Advance that the republicans wouldn’t act like I just linked to thinkprogress or mediamatters

    I'm sure they will. It will be interesting to see if and how much power over the party Trump retains, and who does and does not distance themself from Trump's continual influence. We've already played the "Republicans draft legislation requiring the POTUS to publicly present his birth certificate based on the lies of Donald Trump" game. That game is over.

    If, and that's a big if, Republican leaders distance themselves from Donald Trump, then I see a possible return to the party by intellectuals and strategists. It's a big unknown what becomes of voices like George Will now that Trump is gone.

    I think it's going to be quite different than what we might expect. Not sure why or what that would be, but I think Biden is going to have a successful administration, and Trump becomes quickly forgotten, except for the textbooks and visiting hours.

    Yes. But I will still bitch and moan about the social media meddling in the election, that complaint stands regardless of the recount result.
