Only because it has been a stupidly failed attempt this far. But give it time and someone smarter will come along and give you cause for concern.

WaPo - ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’: In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia SOS to recalculate the vote in his favor
- Thread starter TheAbsolution
- Start date
There are 70+ million Americans who believe in this shit. If it was only a few it would have been a funny bit, but like this it is not.
Should've replied asking about how Trump proposed boycotting the GOP candidates in said runoff in said phone call
Didn't Georgia already have like 2-3 completely separate statewide recounts?
And the best plan Trump can come up with is to have this guy come out and say "Ooops we recalculated and Trump won"? How would that seem even remotely credible after recounts failed to net any gains?

it's funny how much american democracy is only protected by like basic accepted norms and courtesies and even an incompetent dipshit old man can basically challenge it and ask people to basically rig the vote on a phone call and nothing will probably happen to him. this country man lol, what a joke
Hopefully, we see Trump on a bus to prison like Feech La Manna. Sad old man.
This is the danger when you drink not just your own Kool-Aid, but also your most unhinged fans'. It's a self-reinforcing loop of lunacy where Trump and Trump supporters simultaneously one-up and validate each other with no concern for reality or even plausibility. It may be a great immediate boost for one's self-esteem, but it's straight up poison for any kind of long term or strategic thought.
I for one are very happy that he's still in denial, still struggling and flailing in the jaws of absolute defeat; it will make his eviction from the White House that much sweeter.
Well, I certaintly didn't wake up this morning expecting to cheer on Trump. :)

Yes. Georgia has has a hand recount and then another machine count of the ballots and only found 2 ballots that were signed by the spouse of the person associated to the ballot which invalidated the ballots.
Trump is just constantly watching OAN and Newsmax because they peddle.in conspiracy theories that say he actually won so he's just spouting the shit he hears on there.
Making fun of fringe figures on the right by quoting their most ridiculous phrases isn't funny because there are lots of people who believe it?
I disagree and think you're being a bit dramatic about fairly standard practice on this forum. We're jogging the victory lap with Trump writhing in torment. Enjoy it!
This is like when someone is trying a variety of tactics to feel out how they get the customer service agent to budge.
This is NOT entirely true. There were a lot of people who voted for him just because of money and others for religious stands he supposedly holds. Not everyone is going to go out on a limb for him. I can't tell you the number of people who mentioned the tax cuts for the wealthy as part of the reason they voted for him. BUT, i do know that there are a lot of people that wont do something stupid to support trump.
NOTE: I do not say this to mean there reasons for voting for him were valid, only that its a mistake to believe eveyrone that voted for him supports his wild fraud claims. I believe a majority do not.
this phone call makes guys like Cruz look even more insane to back this asshole. I hope they play this call when they Object to this crap.
And some trim posts will only hear what they want already saw some idiot questioning the sound bites. Lol.this dude needs to reap all the consequences of his bullshit.

Actually fucking wild Biden still seems to thinks he can work with this party, these people.
The Georgia election results have already been certified, and the electoral college votes in 3 days. At what point is Trump going to realize that it's too late to even pull these kinds of shenanigans?
Even if this one dude had the authority to overturn the GA elections (he likely does not), the time for blackmail and threats was November, not January 2nd.

One. Hour. Long.
I couldn't imagine sitting through 5 minutes of this, let alone an hour.
But this is how the Trump con traditionally works. It's not that he's particularly smart (or smart at all) or clever. He just bludgeons you with his version of reality, over and over, relentlessly.

I sort of think he is just trying to bring some decorum for discussion back and also not rocking the boat until he gets the keys so to speak. I'm sure he will try expecting it's futile but hopefully not waste time on it.
This is nuts. When I first heard about this I thought it was from November. This dude really thinks he can still win. Unbelievable lol
An hour of trump in your ear has to be a human rights violation. And you know everyone listening knows it bullshit but they won't call it out
Yeah, hopefully we can see some charges and Georgia along with NYC. However, Georgia has a GOP Governor so he can get pardoned.
This also isn't the only phone call made to a Secretary of State in this fashion. You don't think he did the same to every state that went Biden's way? This is the only one we know about so far.
Hard enough trying to pull this shit with zero evidence but now they basically can't make anything approaching a convincing argument when Trump's own words can be used to bludgeon them. This is why the "well I'll side with Trump since nothing will happen anyway" mentality some Republicans seem to have is bullshit. You can't tie yourself to a lead weight and expect to never drown.
"Brad you would know".. The way he namedrops Brad is hilarious, always trying to pull him in to the con
I would bet each swing state he lost has had a very similar call.
The mid-terms are in less than two years. For the Dems to take the Senate, they need to paint the Reps as the obstructionists that they are. They need to tell that story.
However, if Biden is antagonistic straight out of the gate, then he gets painted as the one not willing to reach across the aisle.
Biden knows what Mitch did to Obama for six years, and he's not fool enough to let him do the same thing to him. He's got some good attack dogs in his corner.
Let Biden say what he needs to say. He has surrogates that can fight for him in the court of public opinion in the meantime.
he's literally just yammering on about bullshit. on and on and on and no one is speaking out about this idiocy
these ppl in charge around him are the real danger.
any reasonable person would shut this down immediately. it's so disconnected from reality and it's scary that they all just sit there listening to him go on like this. the president of the united states!

Could be blowing up in the other way though.
GOP Voters doubling down on their leader and voting for their candidate
FIND THE VOTES!!
Edit: joking aside, I've been watching the BBC cover this in the UK a few moments ago. The BBC correspondent (currently based in America) used to be an Africa correspondent. She just said she has covered many elections in African countries and that if a head of an African state did this, then what would the world say?
Exactly. It would be labelled corruption.
Please America, lock this fucker up.

It is the perfect time for it drop. There is nothing else to talk about Sunday, and Monday morning shows will be on it like a dog on steak
