He's built up such a track record of buffoonery now that this feels strangely banal.
Trump gonna Trump.

He has totally internalized the value of repeating the rankest bullshit until it morphs into truth.

@Klaus said in “Election Hoax”:
The amount of damage Trump does right now is insane.
If he has evidence, he should inform the police or FBI or whatnot and take care that those who are responsible are arrested.
If he has no evidence, he should STFU.
In any case, he should stop the damaging tweets. This has become rather insane.
I think it rather illuminating. If he can drive a nail in the coffin of mail-in voting, go Trump!

Trump himself voted by mail.

Just checking but what the FBI, DOJ and House did was not damaging?
..Calling the President a Russian Agent, deplatformimg people is just fine?
I get it I should just STFU but I can’t get excited based on what I witnessed.
If the sky didn’t fall it ain’t now.

Right right, Trump could pull his wang out and spin it until he helicopters off into the sky - but we wouldn't be able to talk about that until we sort out Papadopoulos .

Maybe we should have another investigation into Benghazi first?

If he has evidence,
cnn is awesome
Absolutely, positively awesome
They have put these words into so many mouths
Even the msm has spent the last weeks talking about Mr. Trump's evidence
For better or worse, real or fake, there is a ton of evidence and it is being presented
But somehow, even here at tncr, we have had several posts every day saying there is no evidence
I know, shut up, I'm stupid

If you voted for Trump, you're stupid. Why, it is the very definition of stupid.
You probably smell, too...

It has nothing to do with being stupid. I get his appeal, and it's based on real things.
It's a matter of values. The policies that you care about are relatively less important to me, and the aspects of Trump that you're willing to ignore are relatively more important to me.

Where? I have seen nothing that even remotely justifies the fraud claims.
Even Tucker Carlson thinks there is basically no evidence yet. That should give you something to think about.

His worst legacy by far.

This is where Trump is just an example of the new world we're in with Social Media.
Truth does not matter - what matters is how many people believe something. It's now very easy to throw a narrative out there to see if it sticks (no need for smoke filled rooms to be the gatekeepers)

Noticed that 30% of Dems thought the election was rigged.
That was interesting...

A good portion of the population is just plain conspiratorial.
Humans are wired for stories.

There is also nothing that prohibits a Democrat (or any non-Republican) from deciding the election was rigged.

You might notice I did not make any claim about the quality of the evidence, only it's existence.
There was a well publicized news conference yesterday that presented evidence.
It is easy to find.

If you accuse somebody of murder and the best indicator you found was that the guy possesses a bread knife, would you call that "evidence"?

You can say exactly the same about Biden voters.
