    I have already written, many times on this forum that I will. The better question is, should this fraud be sufficient to recount which cannot credibly ascertain that votes were cast by registered voters, will you agree that those ballots should be excluded, and more, if that effects the vote totals sufficiently, and it turns a state's vote total for Trump, will you?

    I will accept the outcome in the courts. If those issues are litigated in the courts, I’ll accept the outcome.
    If they aren’t litigated in the courts ... well, I guess someone didn’t think they had a very good case.

    If you take pride in making our Country a laughing stock across the globe and calling that an accomplishment, then you do you.

    I for one never thought that our Country would fail so badly at dealing with a global pandemic that even 3rd world countries are handling better. Sad.

    Make America Great Again are just four words, the action about MAGA was Trump yokels putting on the hat.

    The courts are suppose interpret the laws as written. If the court in this case extends the voting period or the amount of days past what the legislature passed and the Governor signed, then the court is legislating instead of interpreting the law.

    As for Georgia, I don't know. It's 50-50 and it all depends on turnout. Republicans and libertarians who vote republican in runoffs have a very slight advantage. But will they turnout? Purdue won his senate race against Ossoff by some 70,000 votes, but with the Libertarian receiving 116,000 that prevent Purdue from getting the 50% plus one vote required by Georgia law. The other seat was more or less a jungle primary on election day. Vote for one of 13 candidates which included several Republicans and several democrats plus libertarian, independents and green party candidates.

    I certainly don't look forward to the ton and a half of negative advertising being bought by out of states to run here in Georgia. They all give you a million and one reason not to vote for the other guy, no reason to vote for you.

    So much for the Court "rubber stamping" Trump's term. That theory was about as annoying as the "USPS conspiracy theory". Because the USPS was supposed to deliver MILLIONS of ballots on time. Obviously COVID forced this on us, but we learned that this was not an alternative to voting at the polls on Election Day.

    Hey, it's good to learn when ideas don't work, that way we don't try them again.

    Wow.. Okay. I'm sorry, how old are you? I would say you've only been of voting age quite recently.

    Why are you all so hypersensitive about legal avenues being taken about a disputed outcome? The outrage and alarm from the left are astounding to behold.

    Instead of posting stupid questions to me read those five items again and go through the history and check out Biden's 50 years in service and absorb it honestly and then you will understand how right I am. You obviously are taking a Fake News approach about those 5 accusations that you posted about Biden.

    If I had my way, I'd toss both out the window onto the trash heap of history and start all over again. Both in my opinion put their political party way above that of his nation if they even think of this country.

    Unfortunately, the USPS conspiracy theory turned out to be fact.... it just didn't create the expected results in the end, as enough people got the word NOT to use it at the end...

    I would NOT want to be Louis DeJoy come February 2021...

    Because they are all a ****ing joke??

    Yes, I'm sure that's got something to do with it...

    Trump can get all the legal recounts he's entitled to (or wants to pay for), and I'll wait patiently for the results to not change, but stop wasting everybody's time with the Sweaty Rudy rodeo.. that's truly an embarrassment for all involved...

    I think it will be tremendously hard to prove that the delays were directed with the purpose of aiming to help Trump win the election. Especially since as you noted, it had the opposite effect.

    ....or it is completely untrue. Took me one search. Literally the first video that came up and several more versions below.

    You should limit your untrue claims to stuff that can't be debunked n less than 30 seconds, though I will admit it is more fun when you don't.

    I would feel bad as I already predicted the same thing. The LAST thing Roberts wants is to get caught up in this fiasco. This isn't Florida 2000. This is the GOP trying to overturn 5 or 6 states and hundreds of thousands of votes. SCOTUS will let this quietly die unless something genuinely big is unearthed. Conspiracy theories about Hugo Chavez ain't it.

    It probably will, but I don't think you necessarily need to prove ulterior motive... The slowdown can be proven with delivery rates and there will be untold witnesses that will testify there was no obvious plan to "save money" or "streamline activities".

    I'm not sure what the criminal statues say, but the AG of Pennsylvania says they have a case, probably after the inauguration

    I'm telling you send in two girl scouts with a box of s'mores and they'll him out peacefully. Melania can welcome the Bidens to the White House. She'll probably offer Justin a tour as well.

    The real Manchurian candidate is Trump who just can't stand democracy when he loses and refuses to give Biden the critical intellences briefings he needs before he steps into the predidency.
    Helsinki summit: Trump sides with Putin over US intelligence - CNNPolitics
    "Trump sides with Putin over US intelligence"
    Instead, Trump -- standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin -- touted Putin's vigorous denial and pivoted to complaining about the Democratic National Committee's server and missing emails from Hillary Clinton's personal account."
