How seriously does the Trump team really take the Dominion conspiracy theory?

You should watch more OANN, the President's favoured news source.

Ah, another Trump thread.

We'd have a Biden thread, but the man is still in his basement. Governing is hard work and he needs his rest...

Well, Trump has spent the last couple of days trying to reduce his handicap.

Also, he's been playing quite a bit of golf.

President Trump Schedule

I think one of the saddest things I've had to deal with this election is the realization that so many of you here on this forum are so politically constipated that you're not only willing to watch this nation be taken away from the people and handed back over to a corrupt ruling class, but you actually seem to celebrate it.

And it's not because you don't like Trump. It's because you are sheep. You have been trained to hate anyone who's not a democrat. I have watched you hate every single Republican to come along over the last 25 or so years. Apparently you don't even see it.

How sad. I feel sorry for some of you. So convinced that you arrived at your opinion through your own thought processes, so convinced your views are the result of your own intellect - but its not. Your views come from brainwashing. You're sheep. You've been sheep for years. And you don't even realize it. 4 years from now you will latch on to the republican candidate for president with the same hate you always do. That is so sad.

Baaah, humbug

From my perspective, it seems that the opposition of the right to the left tends to be more ideological, where the left's opposition to Trump tended to be more hatred based. It was classicism. The feeling like an inferior person was above you on the hierarchy. This is an alien feeling to some of us, but a perfectly communicable feeling to others. It's actually the racism gene.

[Doctor Phibes]

Dudes, we get it. You think you're smarter than we are. Move on.

[Larry]

If that's what you got from what I said, then you proved my point.

[Horace]

There appears to be a great deal of cathartic celebration over Trump's defeat that doesn't look much like moving on.

[Larry]

Phibes came close, but he worded it wrong.

And Trump is acting like the adult in the room?

Maybe if he accepted that he'd actually lost, there wouldn't be quite as much gloating.

[Horace]

Again, connecting Trump the individual with everybody who preferred his politics to the opposition.

[Horace]

Trump will never personally do anything resembling the CHAS overtake of the Seattle neighborhood, all of which was ignored by Trump haters. So own it, if you would like to imagine conservatives having to own Trump.

Sorry, I re-worded what I said. As far as I know you haven't disputed the result, and there are lots more like you, however according to some, 50 million people think the election was fixed, so....

@Horace I was borderline ambivalent to outcome. But, I’m glad Trump is getting personally embarrassed on his “election hoax” shenanigans.

I haven't ignored it, I thought it was disgusting. I think people who set fire to shops and violently protest should go to jail, whatever their politics, and clearly there are more on the far left than the right who act like this.

I’m a “Trump hater” and also hated CHAS (as a Seattle tax payer, and also just a non-idiotic person).

[Horace]

It's been interesting to watch the zero protests after Trump's defeat. He's on an island now. The righteous outrage of the left is hardly an island. But not a one of them owns it.

Since this phase is the legal battle is mostly de facto over but it’s likely that Trump will never concede I suppose this means that the gloating spontaneous generation and mutations of new threads will go on for the foreseeable future.

But in January when the GOP takes the Senate the gloating will come right back at you.
