That's what audits are supposed to do --- find errors. It's not evidence of fraud.

I agree that Ivanka is more independent than her brothers, but I don't think that Trump cares enough for her to sacrifice anything for her. He's not a normal person much less a normal parent. Former Erie County, NY County Executive and ex-Congressman Chris Collins took a plea bargain and is serving prison time for insider trading in exchange for his son not being tried on similar charges. Trump would see all his children go to jail, including Barron, rather than inconvenience himself or put his ego aside.

I'm just a bleeding heart leftie who hates to see people make f'n jackasses of themselves but Rudy and the rest of Trump's "legal team" have nobody to blame for that debacle other than themselves. They called the press conference, dude, meaning that they invited the media to report what they did and said. It's not like this was a private party that the press crashed.

Trump doesn't care about his kids any more than he cares for anybody or anything not named Donald J Trump. He uses them just as he's uses anybody and anything to get whatever he wants. It's the way narcissistic sociopaths are.

Donnie and Baby Trump Ivanka are likely to be too busy fighting off criminal investigations in New York to launch much of a campaign for a couple of years at least. There were more subpoenas issued today about Trump's tax rewrite offs.

The "far left" of the Democratic Party sounds far further left than it really is because the center of the Republican Party has shifted so far to the right. There used to be Republicans who were fiscal moderates and social liberals. There used to be many Republicans who were fiscal conservatives and social moderates, but they're in seriously endangered in Trump's GOP. Hell, there used to be Republicans who were fiscal conservatives and social conservatives, but those too are endangered. The current GOP is run by social reactionaries and fiscally self-serving individuals who put their own personal interests ahead of the welfare of the country, starting with the lame duck President. They are not amoral. They are immoral.

Contrary to the Republicans, Democrats have not ceded control of the party to it's radical wing nor to a cult of personality. They learned some bitter lessons back in the 1970s and 1980s about swinging too far away from the center. There is far greater diversity of opinion among Democrats than among Republicans, from elected officials to rank-and-file. I'm pretty far to the left both fiscally and socially, but I'm a pragmatist at heart (have nothing good to say about ideologues at either end of the spectrum), so I understand and respect that not everybody shares my views even on a single topic much less on a range of topics, and I'm good with compromising. I'm a half a loaf is better than none person. Biden wouldn't be my first choice for a presidential candidate but his positions on most issues are acceptable to me.

There will always be tension in a democratic society between individual rights and the social good. It's not an easy balance to achieve. The US, even today, is a whole lot closer to striking that balance than are most countries. It could do a lot better, and it would do better, if ideologues -- ie "wingnuts" -- on both sides of the political spectrum didn't have the loudest voices.

Libertarianism is not a viable political blueprint for governing a diverse country of 330+ million people in the modern world -- any more than any other "isms" of the right or left. Actually, "isms" have never been anything more than intellectual exercises which, when attempted to put into practice in the real world, have always morphed into authoritarian regimes of one type or another. You are dead right on "states rights".

This post is nothing more than a litany of popular RW social media "political theory" labels and memes that bear no resemblance to reality. The fact is that the Republican Party has spent the last 40 years pretending to support limited government and fiscal responsibility when, in fact, Republican POTUS have repeatedly expanded federal power while exploding the deficit with reckless tax cuts that have disproportionately benefited the wealthiest Americans by shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle and lower classes, creating an ever increasing chasm between the wealthiest 5% of the population and the rest of Americans.

How come there was only fraud against Trump but not against all the other Republicans who ran for the Senate, the House, the governorships, and the state legislatures? Down ballot Republicans ran better than Trump. Perdue in Georgia, for example, got more votes than Trump did, just missing getting 50% of the total vote and avoiding a runoff in January. Nearly 80 million people voted against Trump, including millions who voted for other Republicans. Deal with, OP.

You are talking about lame-duck actions taken by departing presidents which is totally unrelated to what is happening now: a sitting president openly attempting to change the results of an election that he or his party has clearly lost by significant margin of electoral votes. Presidents signing last minute legislation or granting pardons on their last day in office has been common. It was even more common prior to the change in the Inauguration Date from March to January. There have been some disputed elections that wound up being decided in the House of Representatives, including 1800, 1824, and 1876. There have been close elections like Kennedy-Nixon in 1960 and Bush-Gore in 2000. There has NEVER been an election, however, where the sitting POTUS refused to accept the results of the election and attempted to change the election results by filing a myriad of frivolous lawsuits, by attempting to pressure state officials, or by essentially attempting to bribe local officials in some states to change those states' electoral votes in opposition to the popular vote in that state. There has never been a sitting POTUS who has blatantly attempted to thwart the smooth transition from one US president to the next. NEVER. You, obviously, owe your allegiance to Donald Trump rather than to the United States of America when you can say/write a sentence like your last one. IMO, that makes you and Covid Donnie traitors.

Why is an orderly transition of power a myth??? When was there NOT an orderly transition from one presidential administration to another with the possible exception of when a sitting POTUS died suddenly in office until Trump got whipped in both the popular and electoral vote and cried foul without a shred of evidence? Well said! 👍 Throwing out enough votes for Biden to insure that Covid Donnie gets what he wants.

"Democratic leaning voters" voted a wannabe dictator out of office. A lot of 'Republican leaning voters" also voted a wannabe dictator out of office as Biden won the popular vote by 6 million while Republicans lower down the ticket did much better. If this was just a party line vote, the Republicans would have lost the Senate and suffered more losses in the House as well as in states. Instead, many voters voted against Trump but did vote for Republicans down ticket.

This, too. I think nothing that Trump does or says is likely to dim his light for his Cultists --- there were still many "true believers" in Hitler to the very bitter end with the Red Army in the suburbs of Berlin -- but not all of the 73+ million Americans who voted for Trump are cultists, and they may very well walk away from him for a variety of reasons. Trump is going to face some serious legal issues once he's out of office, including possible criminal cases in New York by both the State AG and the Manhattan DA, as well as civil cases involving. He might skip the country to avoid prosecution or lawsuits. He could end up in prison if convicted on criminal charges. I think that Trump's behavior since the election isn't going to stand him in good stead going forward, either. While Congressional Republicans are afraid of him, a number of Republican governors/state officials have broken with him because his mishandling of the coronavirus epidemic has dumped a supertanker full of trouble on their states while he ignores the pandemic to pursue blatantly frivolous lawsuits, settle scores with "traitors" in his own administration, and impede the transition. The parting image that most Americans, even Republicans, may remember best about Donald Trump is that of him golfing while the pandemic steamrolled across the country. Not a good look.

They would cheer. They were chanting "Lock her up" in reference to Michigan Governor Whitmer at one of Covid Donnie's rallies in Michigan while Trump preened like a peacock. I agree with your assessment of Trump's mentality and why he's not likely to run in 2024. A narcissistic sociopath like Trump will always blame somebody/something for any loss and make sure that he doesn't suffer a similar loss in the future by avoiding a similar situation. Trump will, however, probably continue to hold the GOP hostage for as long as his health and money hold out.

Who, exactly, are you referring to with the statement, "politicians and enemies lists have a long and dark history in American politics"? Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon both had "enemy lists". Anybody who dares to disagree with Trump is on his "enemies list", and he wants many of them "locked up". Those three were/are all Republicans infamous for "enemies lists". Off hand, I can't think of any notable Democratic politicians well known to have "enemies lists". Certainly not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. At best, she can vote yea or nay on a shutdown ... if Congress even gets involved in that. The national shutdown back in March was by executive order.
