Whenever I hear that something has been "debunked", that's a sure sign to me that it's true.

You are really deep down the rabbit hole when you take the absence of credible evidence as proof of a crime.

 

Do you believe in Santa Claus?  All evidence that he's real has been debunked, so that must mean he's real.

Trump's administration didn't want Biden to lose his job as President?  Please explain.

Why should I have to explain that ?

I didn't say that and thus have no need to explain something that I didn't say , suggest or even hint at

I'll remind you.  You posted:

 

"Any potential whistle-blowers, wouldn't blow their whistle whilst hes still POTUS , they would wait until Donald gets his job back as POTUS "

 

I replied with:

 

"Those potential whistle=blowers had more than two months between the election and Biden taking office; two months when Trump was still President.  Why didn't they speak up then?"

 

Your answer was:

 

"Because they didn't want Joe to lose his job"

 

I replied:

 

"Trump's administration didn't want Biden to lose his job as President?  Please explain."

 

And now you state you didn't post that say that.

 

Are you incapable of following a simple thread that you are participating in?

 

You claim that potential whistleblowers won't act while Biden is still President.  I pointed out that they had more than two months to act between the time of the election and Biden being sworn into office.  Why didn't they act during that period?

 

Since I'm sure you have no intelligent answer, I'll tell you.  They didn't blow the whistle because there was nothing to blow the whistle on.  There was no election fraud.  Trump lost.  Accept it.

My point was that if ,IF (I am not saying there was, just IF) , if there were any irregularities  in some people acting fraudulently   to get Joe elected , they wouldn't reveal those irregularities whilst Joe is still POTUS , as that could cause the election to be overturned . 

   If , IF a person did vote twice , they wouldnt tell anyone about it , was my point

‘IF’, not once but several times.

You're still missing the point. They had 2 months and 60+ court cases to report those irregularities while trump was still president.

IF there had been any irregularities to report, they would have reported them in the two and a half months between the election and the inauguration.  Since nothing was reported, and nothing has been reported since then, we can assume there never was anything to report.

Why would a person who committed fraud , report that fraud ?

That branding happens both ways. But Americans are becoming aware of their current 'radical' problem.

I hope so. If by radical you mean those who think it may soon be necessary to take up arms against the US government, that is. Or maybe this kind of radical: “top law enforcement officials say the biggest domestic terror threat comes from white supremacists.”

Or did you have another kind of radical in mind?

That's what happens when the left-wing, mainstream, corporate media has lost all credibility - with its bought and paid-for fact-checking sites.

Why would anyone claim there was widespread voter fraud and then not be able to come up with the tiniest little bit of proof of that in over 1,5 years?

So you have no evidence for the above or anything else you've posted, and in your mind the absence of evidence shows it is true.  As I said, really deep down the rabbit hole.

Have you seen the Mark Twain quote underneath all his posts: “It’s much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled."

I’m guessing irony isn’t his strong suit.

NOBODY is taking up arms against the government.  Not in the next 10-years, 100% guaranteed.

Realistically, No.

Majority of civil wars since 1946 have broken down along ethnic and religious lines. I pray that you right but I still will pause for concern.

Well, to the hardcore white supremacist type certain groups who we all think of as White people might not cut it with them, so it's going to get real confusing as to who is on who's side during a firefight. 

 

There's that one-third number again.  That's the MAGA percentage, hasn't gone below 30% since the day He came down the escalator.

Unlikely to be a civil war pitting red and blue but arms against government aka North Ireland. I honestly hope it never ever happen to a great nation but the deep polarization fueled by irresponsible leaders like Trump and his cronies can't be ignored.

You're right, it's not happening.  Not in 10 years, not in a 100 years.  Doesn't matter how many guns these people have.  These white nationalists, militia groups, and all manner of right-wing nutters, they all talk a good game.  But if it means going to prison for their ideology, they all pee in their skirts.  They talk tough, but are mostly cowards.

I agree with you mostly, but January 6th has shown us that large numbers of them, sufficiently whipped into a frenzy by their cult leader, are capable of violent acts. I shudder to think of what could/would have happened had they actually gotten their hands on Pence, Pelosi or AOC.
Don’t underestimate the dangers of the loony right, what with people like Marjory Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan and Josh Hawley (and many more just as crazy as them) on the inside, constantly riling up their intellectually challenged base and consciously and constantly spreading the most outrageous conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation.
