After the behavior of his hero during the past few weeks, I wondered what could possibly give SoldierMan the right to feel morally superior to others on this thread...

That sense of wonderment is doubled now that I am reminded of his hypocrisy... But I suppose hypocrisy is one thing Trump sycophants do well... :X3:

Georgia’s Trump supporters are not giving up. On Saturday, scores massed outside the statehouse in Atlanta, a small sea of mostly men in red MAGA hats hoisting signs hurling accusations against Joe Biden and wearing campaign tee-shirts saying “STOP the STEAL.”

It barely mattered that Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had certified Biden’s unexpected nearly 13,000-vote victory one day before. Also irrelevant was Georgia’s unprecedented manual hand count of presidential votes on 5 million paper ballots, which was more than any 2020 swing state has done since Election Day to verify its votes.

Instead, Trump supporters in Georgia, like many across the country, are not just embracing a growing catalog of vote-counting conspiracy theories as the president pressures state officials to reject the popular vote and select him, via Electoral College slates, for another term. Among Trump’s ranks are activists who witnessed the latest vote-counting steps as credentialed GOP observers and have studied these steps via social media and online forums. These activists appear to be coalescing into a new right-facing election reform movement, much like left-leaning activists launched a progressive “election integrity” movement after the fraught presidential elections in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Indeed, US politics needs to change, it needs to change so dramatically and desperately that even Trump was worth a shot imo ... ANYTHING except the status quo is worth a shot, and yet status quo is what is undoubtedly coming with a Biden administration

Exactly. People cheering on the new administration must remember that excluding Trump, many of the same type of people were in charge when the US made some of its worst foreign policy decisions. Individuals with Ivy League degrees, while clearly accomplished individuals, do make mistakes, especially when group think is involved (a very real issue when you mix with the same type of people over decades).

The endless number of foreign policy mistakes occurs regardless of who is in the WH.

If you think that, why do you react with shrill horror to any politician who expresses views slightly left of centre?

Why it is wrong to draw parallels between Trump and Mugabe​

Such comparisons may appear harmless on the surface, but they have problematic real world consequences.

On November 6, after a speech by Donald Trump in which he baselessly claimed the 2020 US presidential election was fraudulent, ABC journalist Leigh Sales criticised what she saw as an outgoing president’s attempt to undermine the democratic process by tweeting “Robert Mugabe keeps coming to mind”.


And Sales was not the only one who compared Trump’s actions in the aftermath of the election to those of Zimbabwe’s former president. Samantha Power, Pulitzer-Prize winning author and former US ambassador to the UN, for example, also claimed on the same day that Trump was “going full-on Robert Mugabe”.

Nice that you take such a cavalier attitude to the burning and looting. No wonder your party did much worse than than predicted in the House and Senate races. A good comeuppance for the Dems tacitly supporting such nonsense...I remember you and many other Dem supporters playing down the rioting by your own political base.

Nice that you take such a cavalier attitude to lying about something serious.

And the second part is a lie, too, no surprises there.

Yeah, today he let the transitional teams finally start doing their thing. So much winning.

www.abc.net.au

Trump asks US Government to begin transition of power to Biden, but adds 'we will prevail!'

US President Donald Trump says he has asked the US Government to begin the official transition process, but remains confident in his diminishing legal challenges over the result of the election.

Murphy says she came to that determination independently, while Trump says he's "letting" her do it. Which is it?
