    Presidential elections (by T.L.)


    It's too crazy for words, but after losing more than 50 lawsuits, the
    current president is still not giving up. His fans also remain hopeful that the next or subsequent lawsuit will change EVERYTHING.

    However, there is no such chance, especially now that the Supreme Court has indicated on Tuesday that state cases belong to the states and not to the Federal Court.

    Unfortunately, the right-wing media did not circulate this announcement in their part of the world.

    Again a clear sign that the misinformation about which the right is so
    upset is mainly a matter of... the right-wing media.

    That's why Trump supporters think there are still opportunities. However,
    those chances had already been lost the week after the elections.

    Why doesn't Trump give up?

    The most important reason is 135 million... That is the amount that has
    already been raised thanks to this so-called battle.

    Money that he is allowed to spend largely as he sees fit.

    In addition, he is not the man to admit loss. He sees that his followers swallow that alternative truth of his, so why change and admit a loss? That only costs him respect and money from his followers.

    So this misguided situation is not going to change and the right-wing media continue to proclaim the alternative truth, ignoring reality.

    The question now is which world you want to live in. Online you have the choice.

    If you choose the alternative truth online, then you only have an
    occasional collision with reality. However, you can also just ignore that. However,
    it is becoming more and more difficult to keep ignoring it, but admit that
    you have been misled by Trump's li

    Why doesn't Trump give up?

    Trump doesn't give up because he listens to his constituents, and we're telling him not to give up.

    We're not really expecting Trump to turn the election around, but we're counting on him and other Republicans to expose instances of voter fraud, and so far we've had some success with that.

    Let's start with the Kentucky and South Carolina senate races. If you
    want to talk about quantitative anomalies, those are two good places
    to start.

    Trump ran the race, same as Joe did. The race is over now. What Donald Trump is trying to do now is steal an election. It's another Donald Trump fraud.

    Voters in those states should have argued if there was suspicion. Did
    anyone ask for a recount?

    want to talk about quantitative anomalies, those are two good places
    to start.

    For the last time, if you lived in Kentucky (outside of some real
    optimistic spots in Louisville), you'd have known damn well that the
    likelihood of Amy McGrath winning was slim to none. Between the reaction
    of her primary challenger during the Louisville "peaceful protests" and her debate performance against McConnell, a lot of the Democrats who voted for her in the primary had buyer's remorse.

    She may have been the strongest candidate they've had in years, in part due
    to the BLM and other out-of-state money funneled towards her, but she was
    still a weak candidate that most all of this *RED* state was not going to put up with.

    This is coming from someone who really does not like McConnell but voted
    for him for the first time in forever this year because he REALLY didn't
    like the alternative.

    NO, because the Democratic candidate in Kentucky was not expected to win
    the whole state, which is what you have to do to win a Senate race. She
    could not even win a representative district against a weak Republican two years before.

    If it was not for the early voting in the primary, I doubt she'd have even
    made it beyond that point. Kentucky also wraps up their counting real
    quick, so there is no time for a "Kentucky Kurt" to find boxes of "lost McGrath-only ballots" under a covered table to run through the machines.

    Kurt keeps posting BS about Kentucky because he knows it is a good troll,
    and probably because he is upset that someone from Kentucky (and not some
    other less conservative area) is in charge of the Senate.

    Here in Kentucky, I have heard no suspicion of any wrong doing. It was
    quickly accepted, even by her supporters, and moved on from. Kurt is the
    only one I have heard anything like that from.

    She was probably more likely to win the state than Biden, but that says
    little of nothing because there was no chance of that.

    I'm glad that the voting in Kentucky has clear winners turning out.

    You guys should be glad to have Mitch McConnell too. We (out of state people) appreciate him. I depend on him for all things legislative, hundreds of miles away.

    Kentucky has a terrific governor.
