Quote: BigMike: "75,000,000 fellow Americans you're willing to cheat?" No way, Mike, and you know it. Yet, my friend, you and others seem willing to cheat/rob 82,000,000 American voters.

Mr. Shenfield's article made it clear that Trumps legal defense team had been weighed, had been measured, and had been found wanting in a vast multitude of court & election board decisions...to include SCOTUS.

"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it."

The main reason for that, Slatts, is that the necessary hurdles, i.e. red tape had not been jumped through by the Trump team in order to get to the Supremes. There simply wasn't enough time, and don't think that wasn't in the Democrat plan. They knew exactly what had to be done and they knew that there wasn't enough time to do it. Why do you think they and their willing accomplices in the media held off or suppressed completely negative news, i.e. Hunter Biden videos, Bobulinski interview, Swalwell spy scandal, et al, any of which, had they been released would have wiped out whatever margin existed in votes. The left can repeat the lie as many times as they want that there was no evidence but the evidence is out there for sure. It simply isn't being considered because the there are way too many who are able to squelch it (keep it from seeing the light of day for those in Rio Linda). I thought might like a little lingo from your favorite talk show host.

It's simply not possible that there are enough people in America with your diminished capacity of discernment, to have actually cast a vote for an addle brained simpleton like Creepy Joe.

Therefore, it is correct to surmise that we will continue to remain confident that this act treason has become the most fraudulent election in American history.

We will also continue to support president Trump and as long as he lives we will regard him as the legitimate US president.

I personally am exceedingly amused by the very idea that you poor dumb Goobers actually accept this dufus as your leader.

I am an American.

Trump had already stated he would not concede due to election fraud.

So let’s talk, honestly and fairly, as these are very strong claims:

Trump supporters allege that there is election fraud, and that this election fraud cost Trump the Presidency. They say they have proof that this fraud was widespread and coordinated.

The result of their fervent application of the United States Justice system is the following:

All the courts have thrown out, with prejudice, their claims.

All State Legislatures have thrown out their claims, or just refused to hear them.

The head of security for the elections, appointed by Trump, said that the election was secure and fair. He was fired.

The Attorney General of the United States, probably one of the most ardent Trump supporters that isn’t part of the general population, said there is no evidence of fraud.

IF there was election fraud, it would have had to be massive, coordinated, and multi-state.

As election officials are from all political stripes, Republicans would have to have been complicit in this massive election fraud.

There is not a single election board, Lt. Governor, or election official that says there was any evidence of fraud AT ALL. Not a single one.

The Supreme Court of the United States gave this response to the complaint that came before them: “The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied.” That is SCOTUS-speak for “talk to the hand”.

So, we as Americans have a simple, binary choice:

Trump is arguing with the officials and fans after the game is over, and at the same time setting up a Lost Cause grievance, and his supporters have deluded themselves into believing that there was fraud because they simply cannot accept that they lost. The result of this is that Donald Trump would waive every citizen’s Constitutional rights, effectively destroying the very fabric of this nation in order to support their need for power, OR he lost the election fair and square and our nation continues on. Because in the end, one man or even one party is not important. The strength of our nation is important.

Seriously, it is that simple.

Anyone who would consider such a drastic course of action should consider the following items:

In a democracy, should any one party be able to question the integrity of an election without more than anecdotal evidence?

Once the judicial system has ruled, should any political party that is truly dedicated to the rule of law and the fabric of our republic and its continuation continue to contest the election?

Should any state political party call for a civil war to contest an election?

And finally, and this is important: if a sitting President refuses to accept publicly the outcome of an election that is determined by election officials and the judiciary to be free and fair, whether that president leaves or not, should that ex-president be re-nominated by his political party?

I believe, as a proud American and a republican who has lost his party to nationalistic, jingoistic hooligans, that what the Republican Party did was seditious, unpatriotic, and toxic to our nation.

Save smart, sensible, fiscal conservatism with a heart for the people, an ear for our challenges, and respect for our republic.
