Or more concisely, I’m celebrating democracy, he’s undermining it.

To your point, though, the board games couldn’t be more different.

No, you have it backwards. The democrats tried to steal the election. If that comes as a surprise to you then you haven't been paying attention for the past 12 years. Hillary tried to steal it from Obama. Hillary and the DNC DID steal the nomination from Bernie - twice. Al Gore even tried to steal it and I didn't hear you crowing about saving our democracy from him. They tried to steal it from Trump the first time, but failed. Then they spent the next 4 years engaging in treason using their failed attempt to steal the election as an excuse to overthrow a sitting president. Now they're trying to steal it again. You aren't celebrating democracy - You may have convinced yourself of that - but the facts prove what I just laid out. Whether you realize it or not, what you're actually celebrating is the potential end of democracy as we are forced to accept a totalitarian Socialist takeover.

You and Trump are playing two different board games.

I think that's true. @jon-nyc is happy just to see Trump loses, maybe get a few more laughs at Trump's expense if Trump continues to try to overturn the election's results; that's the extent of @jon-nyc's "board game." Trump is more interested in keeping up the appearance of trying to overturn the election results to stroke his own ego and/or fleece his supporters for more resources to finance his next scheme after he leaves the White House in January 2021; which is of course a different "board game" than @jon-nyc's.

I think Jon is just trying to call attention away from the last four years of massive attempts to dethrone the President via attacks from most institutions. Of course by Jon’s tortured definition these were just politics and “norms” which are so different from Trump’s full throated assault on democracy. I guess I’ll have to wait for that amazingly object historian Meachum to appreciate the gravity of what almost happened.

Arizona formally certified their results today.

[Larry]

They might get decertified, you know...

[jon-nyc]

[Larry]

Yes, thank God.

[jon-nyc]

There's one state left that Trump has contested that has yet to certify its results - Wisconsin.

But that's coming up in 2 hours or so.

[Larry]

You think that means it over, huh.....

[jon-nyc]

It was certified today.

Yeah Larry, it's over.

Not hardly.

@Larry must have missed the fat lady's singing.

[AndyD]

Or the fat man farting.

Seriously, I hope a replacement can be found by the party who is a decent person

[Larry]

Speaking on behalf of all the decent republicans across America, we frankly don't give a rat's ass what you hope.

Trumpism is far from dead.

Very, very far from dead...
