Let's cut the prevaricating about evidence of fraud or there not being enough if any is presented...the point is thus:
Election day was November 3rd. If you do not have it tallied by the close of the third then tough shit.
It has to be this way, otherwise both players can in theory manufacture mail-in ballots forever after, totally paralyzing everything.
This particular point is what is on the lips of us hillbillies when we talk about this; like miss your court day for a week and see what happens vs hey take your time and keep counting till you win.
The same government that will lock you up for not meeting a courts timetable or for being short on tax money is suddenly less punctual with it's own obligations and that is supposed to be acceptable...uh, no, up yours, I can no longer take government seriously if this is the case.
When did government become a petty vindictive gaggle of high-schoolers?

This does nothing to prevent fraudulent ballots - since fraudulent ballots can be prepared before November 3rd.

What it does do is allow the government to throwing out thousands of ballots wherever it wants - by not allocating enough workers count them.

I'd say that if someone legitimately votes, then their vote should *always* be counted. The state should not be allowed to say "Whoops! We didn't get to you, so your vote goes in the trash."

There is a bunch of election reform I'd support - including allocating greater resources to finish counting on Nov 3rd. But the incentive to complete has to be something other than throwing out votes.

It's kinda amazing that almost none of you even consider the possibility Trump actually lost.

It's possible. It's possible Biden got more votes than Obama*, that all the irregularites and odd behavior are all innocent mistakes or misinterpretations.

I just don't put much stock in it. There were a lot of people gunning for Trump from the day of his inaguration, who were desperate to paint him in the most negative light possible, who considered him literally "worse than Hitler". I think it's very possible people with that mindset wouldn't be afriad to get their hands a little dirty to "save the Country".
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Not even two months into his fraudulency and the Pederast in Chief is bombing Syria again.

Trump droned ONE goddamn asshole who was a state-supported terrorist mastermind and people lost their minds. Bidenharris starts bombing people in Syria again and it's 'meh, business as usual'.

The previous reality tv show was better; gas prices were low and the entertainment value high. This new one sucks and they keep recycling old episodes.

All the fucking mudslimes at my work were telling the kafr and dhimmi that this was a horrible crime and the US should back off.  I then red pilled all these stupid "liberals" about how the mother fucker had ordered the machine gunning of Iranian citizens protesting gas prices just two weeks prior.  "Whoa! Really?" "Yes really read some news."  But, you know, Orange Man Bad.

You are right, he only collaborated. That's enough for me however, considering how cavalierly that term is used these days, I would say it is still on point, even if it isn't technically, exactly correct. Both are suspect on many levels.
No, he was taken around by a collaborator. Who seems to have saved lives, so it's not a clear cut case. But most importantly, Soros was 13 or 14. A child, without full agency. A child can't be held responsible for the actions of their parents and the other adults who helped raise them.

There are tons of reasons to criticize Soros, based on what he came to believe as an adult, and what he's done as an adult. Why not stick to the real ones?

Because those reasons don't give Holocaust "revisionists" and neo-Nazis material to jack off with.

Apparently, shuddemell is heartbroken that 13-year-old Soros didn't just turn himself in to be shipped off to Auschwitz. I mean, how dare he keep up the appearance of being a Hungarian official's godson to save himself* from the gas chamber?


* And the godfather's Jewish wife who, along with her husband, would have also been killed if Soros was found out by the Nazis.

Four years ago people went ballistic crazy over Donald Trump being president. They rioted and burned. But, lo and behold, all the charges were dropped: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/government-drops-charges-against-all-inauguration-protesters-n889531

Meanwhile, the 1/6 culprits get the book thrown at them: https://amgreatness.com/2021/02/04/americas-political-prisoners-first/

Two sets of rules, it seems. But some of you are okay with that.

How many people died in the January 2017 protests? Zero. Five people died in the Trump Putsch, including a police officer.  You think that might have something to do with the difference? Nah, it's got to be a plot by the DEEP STATE, right?

Of course the 2017 protestors were no doubt helped by the fact that they wore masks and the same outfits, while the 2021 fascists made it a point NOT to wear masks and posted selfies of themselves like they were holding a cattle call for America's Dumbest Criminals. It also helped that the defendants didn't start ratting each other out the minute they were collared:

QuoteActivists credited a unified defense strategy with prevailing. This strategy included persuading defendants — sometimes over the objections of their lawyers — not to accept plea bargains.

Trump's mob not only started squealing on one another when they knew they were in trouble, but now they're claiming Il Douchebag made them do it!

Oh, and if you're a prosecutor trying to peddle Project Veritas bullshit in court, you have no case and should try another line of work.

One person died in the Trump Freedom March - an unarmed woman shot by the Police.

Yet another example of police brutality towards white people.

Elfdart is not very bright, as it seems people are rapidly walking back the 'Brian Sicknick died from the 1/6 peaceful protest' claim. Hell, even his family seems to not know what killed him.

NYT quietly retracted the original 'killed with a fire extinguisher' story.

No voter fraud->insignificant incidences of fraud->not widespread fraud->not enough to change the election

Guessing the next step is something like, "LOL SUCKERS!"

It's the same standard I set on election day. The only question you ever needed to answer was if it was enough to alter the results of the election. It was not, so shut the fuck up you sore losers.
