The investigation about Russia "is" a court case. So it wasn't zero.

That is not a court case disputing the outcome of an election.

There have been 7 disputed elections in US history: 1800, 1824, 1860, 1876, 1960, 2000 and 2020.

2016 is not one of them. And 1960 barely counts, as Nixon himself accepted the 1960 outcome 3 days after the election.

Once again: The Democratic Party filed zero court cases disputing the outcome of the 2016 election.


Maybe they should have followed the advice given her back then:
Quote:
Hillary Clinton is being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump, New York has learned. The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked.

And, from the update link at the base of the article:
Quote:
Here’s one possible scenario. First, the attackers would probe election offices well in advance in order to find ways to break into their computers. Closer to the election, when it was clear from polling data which states would have close electoral margins, the attackers might spread malware into voting machines in some of these states, rigging the machines to shift a few percent of the vote to favor their desired candidate. This malware would likely be designed to remain inactive during pre-election tests, do its dirty business during the election, then erase itself when the polls close.

A case (or several cases) back then, would have done a lot to minimise future issues, as there would be a lot more focus on the equipment and its operation, meaning less likelihood of it being used as an "excuse" for unfavourable results now.

Trump's new tv show can be called "The Real President".

He can tell us all the horrible things Biden is doing.

I guess if your goal is to not organize with the world healthily, then you need Trump on Newsmax.

Having spent his life answering to no-one and promoting himself as the world's greatest deal-maker and all-round winner - he may find adjusting to the reality that he lost is... a little difficult.
So his simple solution is to deny reality. :shaking2:

You people are being so mean about a man who's never had a bad word to say about anyone.

Except for Mexicans, people from sh**hole countries, women, Muslims, Democrats, certain non-white senators, some Republicans, the media and probably several more groups - why yes, he's been the perfect gentleman and an inspirational model of quiet, reasoned thinking.

And then there's this.

California certified its presidential election Friday and appointed 55 electors pledged to vote for Democrat Joe Biden, officially handing him the Electoral College majority needed to win the White House.  Secretary of State Alex Padilla's formal approval of Biden's win in the state brought his tally of pledged electors so far to 279.  That's just over the 270 threshold for victory.  Although it has been apparent for weeks that Biden won the presidential election, his accrual of more than 270 electors is the first step toward the White House.

This checks out with my impressions of Trump.

Straight faced lying as an act of pettiness cause he only cares about himself and his brand and can't admit he lost.

What is more concerning is why 71 million Americans think he's the best candidate to lead their country.

^^^because they don't really care about anything other than their man [who is a magnification of their own selves] winning, they are not even aware they are burning the country down.
