      “.......... yet hand the White House to the worst presidential candidate in living memory?“

      If the “worst” candidate won, what does that make President Trump? Worster? LOL

        There is something odd and disingenuous in, on one hand pushing for investigations and legal redress, and at the same time basically saying even without the damming evidence, the election was a still a fraud.

        I think my position is consistent. By all means investigate. By all means bring decisions to courtrooms if one side feels aggrieved.
        But then have the honesty to accept what ever the evidence and/or courts say.

        If the expected result is not to ones liking, then why bother with the courts?

        Seems to me that’s an inconsistent position.

          So, what solution does Mr. Catron suggest to this dilemma?

          Don't tell me, he thinks we should just let Mr. Trump be President, 'cos it's like totally like obvious he won.

          You can't do this - say "Let the courts decide, except of course if the courts come out with the wrong decision, because we all know what the results should be".

          Well, you can do this, but you've crossed the line into supporting a one-party state, and you need to be honest enough to admit it.

          I was only joking

            "[Democrats' dismissal of any mention of the innumerable irregularities that tainted the general election as little more than crackpot conspiracy theories] is a convenient way to avoid addressing serious questions raised by serious observers, but it will further undermine confidence in key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands."

            Nice work if you can get it, pal.

            This ridiculously overblown opening sentence mentions "serious questions by serious observers". There is but one question here, the one in Donald Trump's head: How can I convince everybody that I WON? Far from "undermin[ing] confidence in key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands," developments thus far are showing those institutions -- in this case, the courts -- are doing just fine.

            All this talk of "innumerable irregularities" is the Kool-aid at work, and brother, that is some powerful opiate there.

            There are irregularities in every election. There's no evidence that they are excessive in this one -- except in the minds of those who are blindingly desperate to believe.

            There is but one institutional underminer here, Catron, and that's you, you dizzy twit.

              On October 30, he was writing that Democrats were delusional if they thought they were going to win.

              On October 5, he wrote that Democrat bile will re-elect Trump.

              On September 15, he wrote that Trump led Biden on "top voter issue", the state of the economy

              On September 4, he wrote about "the inevitable implosion of Biden's campaign"

              On August 31, "Trump campaign, as Biden hits the skids"

              On August 21 "Kamala won't motivate minority voters"

              On August 11, "Debates will be Biden's undoing"

              On August 4, "Why voting by mail imperils Biden more than Trump"

              You know, I'm starting to notice a bit of a pattern.

                Speaking of disingenuity, there's this article listed in the bar on the right: Targeting People With Mental Illness and Dementia for Euthanasia by Wesley J. Smith.

                Probably a coincidence.

                            Jolly the consolation prize is that many don’t go for the horseshit evidence that the media trebucheted at us over the last four years...

                                I believe The Spectator has a consistent view. It's up to the individual as to whether he thinks it is rubbish.

                                In this case, the writer is referring to a series of somewhat incredulous acts surrounding Biden's election. I happen to think there is a point there.

                                  I believe there is a silent majority of people that would be willing to entertain the subject if only there was a smoking gun somewhere.

                                  Jolly the consolation prize is that many don’t go for the horseshit evidence that the media trebucheted at us over the last four years... Russian collusion, Kavanaugh the rapist, I swear we could go back and see a lie a week and my list would be over 200 major fabricated stories that we were told we MUST believe.

                                  There's pretty much always a silent majority of people that just happen to think exactly like I do. If only they'd speak up, the world would be such a better place.

                                      In addition, the reason we have elections is that they're pretty much the only way to find out what the silent majority actually want, as opposed to what we'd like them to think.

                                      And now, we're being told to disregard this, as it doesn't make sense with what the voices in our head are telling us.

                                        In 2016, at least one person here said that his campaign was so bad they believed he was deliberately trying to lose. And it wasn't a liberal making this claim, if memory serves.

                                          Almost 50 million voters think this election was rigged. That's not a silent majority, but it's a damn good percentage...

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
