The doctor's analogy above is quite fitting. I chuckled.
Yes Trump vigorously pursued every legal and political avenue he could to
be reelectedkeep Biden from being sworn in. When he realized it was too late, mostly because his false election fraud narratives helped inspire a storming of the Capitol, he didn't even attend the inauguration. What class.Yes we can do better, in fact we ARE doing better. There is less fraud now than ever before. The only reckoning will be built on falsehoods, similar to Jan 6.
Too bad Trump didn't just say "Oh well, I lost and you'll see what you get with Sleepy Joe. I'll see you again in 4 years." and honestly... he'd probably win in 2024. But after his antics, all I can imagine is he's lost voters and gained none. We'll see, I've been wrong before!

I’m sorry I hold the president to a slightly higher standard of attendance when it’s his office he’s transitioning to the next person. It’s a sacred tradition. Would’ve gone a long way had he attended after what he incited.

Here. Got a video for you...

Yeah I know, the two Adams (200 years ago) and the disgraced Andrew Johnson. Good argument for Trump to skip.

So, it's less outrageous because it's old? Is that your point?
and the disgraced Andrew Johnson.
Whose impeachment failed.
Don't get me wrong, I think Trump is a reprehensible, odious creature. But the fact that others in his position did the same thing do not earn your scorn says that your thinking is driven more by emotion than by fact.
And, you didn't address Ms. Pelosi - #2 in succession. Her behavior was...what's the word??
Ah, yeah, Trump-ey.

You know the whataboutism is getting a bit desperate when you have to go that far back.
Is anybody going to point how stupid George Washington's hair looked?

Fair enough.
Is Nancy Pelosi too far back?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

If you can find a single case of me defending Nancy Pelosi, I'll give you $10.
When she tore up the speech, I didn't say 'Yeah, well, Trump's an asshole so that makes it OK'.
I was only joking

Ok, also looked at the 1200 election fraud convictions. It looks like:
In 2012 there were 63.
In 2016 there were 65.
In 2020 there were 18.
That is from the Heritage Foundation's own database that sums all 1200 election fraud convictions over the years.
That would actually tend to suggest there was a fair amount of uncaught/unprosecuted fraud in 2020.

Kindly elaborate how you came to that conclusion.

Software engineer Ken Block told Business Insider ahead of the release of his forthcoming book "Disproven," that he was paid about $750,000 to conduct research that would verify the existence of mass voter fraud in swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Despite the massive payday, Block couldn't find any. He even disproved some of the claims of voter fraud within minutes, pointing to incomplete data that was wrongfully interpreted as fraudulent, that voters with the same name had been counted as duplicate votes, and that data for mail-in ballots had been wrongly flagged.
While Block said he wasn't pressured to misrepresent his findings, Trump's team didn't want to hear it when he brought them news the fraud couldn't be substantiated.
All told, Block found fewer than 200 duplicate mail-in ballot votes had been fraudulently cast from all of the swing states combined,

The Trump lies were deplorable. At the same time you will not be able to convince me that there weren’t serious problems. And I’m not talking about the odd widower that sent in an absentee ballot from his dead wife for Trump…
Philadelphia alone has had numerous cases of election officials busted for ballot stuffing numbering in the thousands. It’s so prevalent that that it has to be endemic to the system. Many former ACORN workers found their way into the Philadelphia system. You cannot ever convince me of the results from that city being legit.

And yet Trump gained votes in Philly from 16 to 20 and lost many more in the suburbs- just like the polls were showing us.

And at the end of the day, many of you are quite comfortable with election fraud, as long as the election goes your way.
A pox on you and your house.
