Imagine waiting in line at airport immigration and standing next to someone holding a "Republic of Texas" passport.

It was extremely interesting, the man had a huge intellect and courage of his convictions.

Many fanatics do , dont make them perfect dinner party guests though IMHO.

Actually im a big history buff so would no doubt find it interesting ,but in these troubled times something lighter is in order.

Think I may work my way through the Flashman series again .

Possibly anyone with differing views! They've just been dealt a huge kick in the butt!

Personally, I place the blame primarily on all those judges who showed such disrespect for the legal cases brought by Team Trump.

Blame yourself, your in the MINORITY, you did'nt have the numbers, Americans were smart enough to vote the clown Trump OUT!! Majority and minority are how elections are won and lost! Get it?

You should look again at the post I was replying to.

Just because they lost about 60 cases in court. You have to consider that Team Trump actually won 1! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the legal standard for proving an election to be valid is 1000 to 1.

You keep clutching at those straws, wave him goodbye on the 20th Jan! Winning 1 in 60 is the true mark of a loser!

From what I just read, the ONE case they won was overturned by the State Supreme Court. I'm sure if I misread the article, someone here will be happy to enlighten me.

 

If I read it right, then it's Elite Team 45 - 0, Truth - 60.

Really? Well, how about this in Pennsylvania? Just because the Democrats requested about 3 times as many mail in ballots as Republicans, still there should have been no significant differences between the tally of mail-in ballots vs the tally of those votes cast on election day at polling stations. A very wise Trump supporter put the likelihood of there being a significant difference at about a quadrillion to one.

Amazing how the losers just can't get it through their thick skulls that they lost!

I was hoping that the increasingly deranged cascade of comments I was making might clue you in to where I actually stand on the issue. That said, given the bizarre denialism of Trump supporters, maybe it's just plain impossible to detectibly parody their claims.

No, declare the calendar is a fake...........without any evidence of course.

There have been several posters saying the left had censored speech. It wasn't all that long ago a Republican Senate refused to allow witnesses during the impeachment hearings. What's good for the goose . . .

I'd certainly support changing the U.S. system to electing presidents by national popular vote -- instead of the current archaic and dis-representative Electoral College system.  How about you?

Meanwhile, Trump continues to threaten and deny.  What a pathetic, twisted little man:

 

"US President Donald Trump has retweeted a post saying two Republican leaders who rejected his false claims of voter fraud "will soon be going to jail".  The two officials are Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  Trump shared a tweet from Lin Wood, an attorney who has filed multiple lawsuits on the President's behalf in an attempt to help overturn November's election results.  ...(Wood tweeted) "He gave Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger every chance to get it right. They refused. They will soon be going to jail.""

Especially since trump is trying to con them into disregarding the wishes of the voters.

And on the electoral college confirmation.....

 

A newspaper front page has mocked US President Donald Trump as a "fat man" who "won't sing", after the Electoral College formally voted to lock in Joe Biden's election win.

"America voted. The Supreme Court ruled. Now, Electoral College affirms Biden's win over conspiracy-mad prez," The New York Daily News blared on Tuesday. "It's over, even if fat man won't sing."

Yes but the current system clearly favors the republicans so forget about it. It won't be changed by constitutional amendment.

Well, that might have been true if Trump had not turned early voting into a political issue as he did with wearing masks in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID.  Early polling of democrats and republicans showed that the democrats were by far leaning more to voting by mail, while republicans were much more likely to say they were going to vote in person at the polling both on voting day.   Trump obviously knew this as he appointed someone that did his best to slow the mail... so the Trump side obviously realized democrats were more likely to vote by mail early - otherwise this move made no sense (the result is now the Christmas season is upon the post office and effectively they have turned the post office into the post office run by the grinch).   In the end, turning this political and not encouraging Trump voters to vote early locking in the vote -- may just have been one of the reasons why Trump lost the election.
