Former Missouri GOP Sen. Jack Danforth: "By alleging widespread fraud, President Trump’s purpose is to undermine Americans’ belief in the legitimacy of the election and therefore in the foundation of our democracy. He is causing incalculable damage to our country."

It’s the ones in office currrently that need to speak out the most...they hold more weight.
Re: Current Events Thread
Trumpism is over. Period.
Politicians are starting to abandon him. Now....his supporters are.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/c … nsylvania/
That sub went from 24/7 ass licking and bannings for any criticism to people calling him a dunce, saying he wasn't presidential, etc.
This is just getting started. By the time January rolls around, the past four years will be chalked up to a bad dream.
He needs to man up and concede. Now is the time to show the world a small, brief taste of how a Trump presidency could've been without the reality TV outrage porn coverage.
It would also let him go out on a high point.
He will not run in 2024. Let me rephrase that... people will not vote for him in 2024. Trumpism will be ancient history by then and it won't be possible to resurrect it.
Re: Current Events Thread
I guess those big crowds Trump was pulling in at his events truly did mean fuck all.
ROFL.

Meant fuck all? He got the 2nd highest amount of votes in history.
Pick your favorite president....Trump got more votes.
This election wasn't just an indictment of Trump. It was an indictment of Trump coverage.
I can't stand Biden either. He's clearly not capable of handling such a job as people are going to quickly find out. It's going to be a mixture of Eisenhower and late stage Reagan on steroids.
I held my nose and voted for him because Trump world has to end.
This isn't a 1961, 1981, or 2009 where there's massive amount of excitement and potential for the incoming president.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger on the Dem caucus call:
"We lost races we shouldn’t have lost.
Defund the police almost cost me my race because of an attack ad.
Don’t say socialism ever again.
We need to get back to basics."
(yelling)
"If we run this race again we will get fucking torn apart again in 2022"
The extremism has to be dropped. That's all there is to it. They will be trounced in 2022 if they don't pull the plug.
Minorities are leaning red. Learn from it.
The funny thing about this election is that Trump inspired more votes for Biden than Biden did. I wonder how this would have gone with any other Republican.
At the same time, I think the media helped get more Republicans out to vote Trump than Trump did.
The PA voting is ridiculous. It does look really shady how they're kicking people out of the counting rooms and covering up the windows, and then defying a judge's order to allow witnesses by saying, "we'll let you in a little bit" but don't and keep counting. Really, what's the point of that? You're only giving Trump ammunition.
Biden would've been destroyed in a Reagan era landslide by a normal candidate. That's a fact.

"that is the president of the united states, most powerful person in the world and we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailng in the sun realizing his time is over, but he just hasn't accepted it and he wents to take everyone down with him including this country".
Anderson Cooper on CNN.
This is scary shit and not nearly as much hyperbole as people would think.
It's been years since I read about it and I don't remember which biography/autobiography it was(Kissinger?), but Nixon was unstable in the weeks leading up to his resignation.
He made a comment in front of advisers about how easy it would be to launch our nuclear weapons and get it all over with.
While I don't believe the military would go along with it for obvious reasons, it does make you wonder what his reaction will be as the Trump story winds down and especially when he sees how he's being abandoned by his base.
Re: Current Events Thread
I heard a story the other night about Nixon, saying the top 3 republicans went in to meet with him, and said they were no longer going to support him. I think he resigned the next day.
While I dont think he'll resign or stop the lawsuits, they're mdritless and tv already stopped covering his pressers when msnbc & cbs cut away from him last night. There's no there there and he cant sue 5 states over voter fraud, its absurd.
