In 50 years, they're going to look back and say "Holy F*** that Russian disinformation campaign was effective!"

That's the thing that gets me...that side doesn't see the difference in complaining about Russians using disinformation (not illegally voting or changing votes) to influence, which was proven to have happened to some degree, and complaining about a mass voter fraud scheme. They equate the two, and they aren't even close to the same. No one question the actual results of the 2016 election, they questioned all the disinformation (such as Hill's email leak, and Wikileaks).

I mean, if the left was going to do a mass voter fraud, how the hell did McConnell win reelection?

That's a good summation and actually deserves it's own thread. However, they will simply say Russia was a hoax, in spite of the proof from the GOP led Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the topic.

As someone once said; You can't fix stupid...stuborness... complacency...complicity...etc.
 
Hahahahahahahaha

They're going to cost themselves the Senate because POTUS can't handle people not bowing down to him

I thought I saw this elsewhere, so if it appears, feel free to share this. I saw the quote and thought "WTF?", but here, it actually looks like he's making a joke, just kind of badly.

And, I just want to make it clear.

Yes, it's in poor taste.
Yes, it's inappropriate.
No, he shouldn't have said it.

I just think he thought he was adding a bit of levity to the situation. I think it was done badly and he shouldn't have said it. But I don't think he was serious in saying the transition would be to Trump.
 
No; it's literally undermining our Constitution and our Democracy.

"poor taste" doesn't even come close.

I just don't think it was a serious comment. He spent the rest of the answer tap dancing around saying "Yeah, we'll hand off to Biden's people"

I mean, I would like to believe that everyone that works for Trump to come out and say they acknowledge he lost. Ain't happening. Of the 5000 things that have come out the last few days that make me question if they'll do a proper transition or try something hinky, his answer is WAY down that list.
 
I just don't think it was a serious comment.

He's distracting people so that he doesn't address the actual question.

To which the answer is "Yes, it is likely affecting national security among other things already with the current delays, and those will only compound as we continue our folly and fraud on American democracy and the Constitution"
 
And this whole thread.


So just to run the numbers...

There was an 8.8% increase in votes which is 36,715
There was increase in votes for the D candidate of 28,429 (9.8% increase)
There was an increase in votes for the R candidate of 8,286 (6.2% increase)
I am not sure what is so amazing about this when turnout was low among African Americans in 2016.

Just for reference, in 2012 there were 486,520 votes 328k for Obama and 158k for Romney.

Seriously, this is just stupid...
 


The White House budget office has instructed federal agencies to continue preparing the administration’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year, according to multiple administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of private conversations.

The White House budget proposal is typically issued in February, which would be at least two weeks after President Trump is scheduled to depart the White House. He lost the Nov. 3 election to former vice president Joe Biden, who is set to be sworn in on Jan. 20, though Trump has refused to accept the results.

The decision to proceed with Trump’s budget for the 2022 fiscal year has rankled and surprised several career staffers given Biden’s victory, as well as the fact that the incoming Biden administration is expected to submit its budget plan to Congress early next year.

The insistence on budget planning, even though Trump won’t be in office to offer a budget in February, is part of a recent pattern of behavior from White House officials and senior political appointees who have sought to reject the election results.

On Monday, the Trump White House also instructed senior government officials to not cooperate with Biden’s transition team, igniting a potential legal battle.

Asked if the fiscal year 2022 budget process was proceeding as planned, a spokesperson for the White House budget office said, “Of course.”

The annual budget proposal is a massive White House undertaking that articulates the administration’s proposals for spending and taxes. Though many of the proposals are later discarded by Congress, it serves as an important marker to kick off fiscal negotiations. These budgets involve input from every federal agency and are often released with a media blitz and congressional hearings in February. The budget proposal under development by the Trump administration would be for spending that runs from Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022, a period well after Trump leaves office.

Two administration officials involved in the new budget process said it was highly unusual for the White House not to adjust its budget planning based on the results of the election.

They’re pretending nothing happened,” one of the officials said. “We’re all supposed to pretend this is normal, and do all this work, while we know we’re just going to have to throw it away.”

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal planning.

The White House budget proposal has been largely a symbolic document, particularly under Trump. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress have often ignored the administration’s policy priorities in favor of their own.

Chantel Boyens, a former senior OMB official under the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, said it is common for outgoing administrations to work on aspects of the budget after losing an election. But, Boyens said, normally that work changes dramatically as White House officials recognize the policy priorities for their budgets will not materialize

The preparations going on now are not surprising given the administration’s position on the outcome of the election,” said Boyens, now a policy associate at the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. “At the point at which you know the outcome of the election, it would not make sense to continue formulating policy recommendations for a new budget to be put out by the outgoing administration.”

And, like everything else in this administration, if it's of value, why wait?

 

Yep; that's what I've been posting.

The criminals are scrambling, because they thought they'd steal this election and didn't count on those meddling 20-29 yr old kids showing up at the ballot box to screw things up on them.

As well as the Navaho Nation and other reservations, which voted like 97% Biden in AZ.
