    Of course. Trump handpicked the gelatinous twat for a reason.

    He’s the first shitsack that should be investigated once Biden takes over. America has had some slimy AGs for the past...well, infinity. Barr is hands down the most obviously, openly corrupt and politicized of them all. They should be encouraging hard drive-zapping strokes in these fat fucks.

    For the group that loves bitching about protests everywhere, they sure love being the cause and creation of of them. Stop pissing people off with obvious lies and eat your shit sandwich. Yes, it’s supposed to taste like shit.

    He's trying, but he doesn't have enough true believers to pull it off. Meanwhile a good chunk of the Republican party is taking the following tack:

    Not really. The memo has no teeth. I believe it says allegations without evidence shouldn’t be cause for actual investigations(or something along those lines). I think they are just trying to create panic and mistrust in the actual election itself. But mostly, they are just bitching about shit like how close they can hover over the people counting ballots. It’s all mostly whiny garbage and hasn’t actually come up with anything of substance. Additionally, they are 0-10 in their various court cases trying to either limit voting, or vote counting.

    Also one of the biggest issues with their claims for fraud is that they are perfectly okay with results from the house and senate that were on the same ballot, but the votes for president were fraudulent?

    With all of the other bullshit like refusing to work with the Biden transition team and free up the allocated funds used to assist them, what’s the real end game here? Just to obstruct literally everything? Not let Biden have a cabinet? The senate will pass no legislation from the house once his admin starts?

    What does the gop actually want to do as a political party? Besides take away abortion and voting rights to black people, is there a real set of principles anymore besides just frustrating Democrats?

    So you don't think this group can make up some allegations to mess with vote certification. Or try to delay or stop Biden from taking office. I don't put anything past these assholes.

    I know this is Twitter, but there's a lot of big names here, and it's really illustrative for how quickly things spread on social media even after being corrected. Check the trend for "Real Clear Politics" and realize that it's all total nonsense, refuted directly on that very website by the co-founder and president of the site the falsehood is about: https://twitter.com/TomBevanRCP/status/1325973800891150336

    Doesn't stop it from spreading like fucking wildfire among conservatives.

    No because there’s no actual evidence. They came up with the crime first and went to find evidence after. Hence the voter fraud hotline they created that got inundated with prank callers. The presidency ends on 1/20. Trump didn’t win the election and no court, even loaded with Trump judges is going to just overturn an election like that. These judges got on the bench because of Trump and they don’t need him anymore.

    Not a coup, maybe, but I think he's going full tilt...

    Look who comes out to a press conference, at the White House press room, to spew a bunch of shit that she ASSURES everyone is "her personal opinion, and not the official stance of the White House or the Administration."

    They are going Full Retard on trying to sow some discontent...

    https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-whit...-s-baseless-claims-of-voter-fraud-95610437853

    And FUCK YOU, Fox News... you are now doing what you should have done for the last 4 years... call them out on their blatant bullshit and lies.

    I think the only reason the Republican party is entertaining Trump nonsense on the election results is to not piss of his hardcore supporters. As much as they don't like it those people are a significant part of their base now, and they could easily abandon ship if Trump turns on the party. They need to keep them in the fold for future elections and placating Trump is the only way to do it. It's pathetic frankly.

    I mean he fired up a large voter bloc like no other candidate for the party in decades. Trump beat 08 Obama numbers this election. His style of campaigning is not going away. ALL of the democratic local races commercials I saw imitated his phraseology and style, even some Biden adds. They run some low key blue hair establishment insider like Mitt Romney? They arent going to win anything. He's changed the dynamic of running in politics.

    I saw this in SC, with the constitution party, and the tea party movement a few years ago: they threaten to split the ticket, which would cost the GOP dearly.

    A lot of these fringe elements have to be courted to avoid that outcome,.

    I understand how Trump has changed the politics of the Republican party. I think it's pathetic that they're willing to instill doubt in the electoral process to keep these voters, which they don't particularly like, in the fold.

    GOP politicians benefit from keeping their supporters as ignorant and stupid as possible. As long as they continue the narrative of “they hate you”, it won’t matter what they do.

    They HAVE to be stupid from now on too, because what idiot would vote for a group of baseless crybaby cheaters?

    Your country needs to stop listening to to these cheating fucks, and instead make them atone for screwing up the nation beyond repair.

    Republican does not equal stupid. That's dangerous.

    However, if you ask someone who's generally uneducated their political affiliation, it's probably Republican. Same thing with racist. It's starting to become a problem, and I think it's actually undermining the Democrats.

    I keep running into this: in the information age, idiocy is a choice.

    Not all Republicans are stupid, but if you meet a Republican and you can't figure out what con they're running on the party's stupid base within five minutes, chances are good they are the party's stupid base.
