yeah Ned went viral for a good reason, but he was also humble giving credit to the others on that call.. and kudos for his use of the famous Diego Rivera mural at the Detroit Institutes of Art as his backdrop…

and clearly the fix was in on that initial board vote to decertified the results, as they were pinning hopes on that happening… otherwise the toddler in chief wouldn't still being tossing his rattle around.

Yeah…but seems like things are on the up and up now.  but talk about being on top and then being on the bottom

Mark Elias:
Trump and his allies have are 1-28 in court cases they have filed post election.

Their one victory was shortening the cure deadline in PA for a small subset of rejected mail-in ballots from 9 days to 6 days. That is it.
Wow it was closer than we thought

From wapo

here are the margins by which Biden won three critical states, as of Wednesday morning:
Arizona: 10,457
Georgia: 14,028
Wisconsin: 20,565
Total: 45,050

But if Trump had managed to get those 45,000 votes, he would have won 37 more electoral votes, making the electoral college a 269-to-269 tie. Under the Constitution, the election would have then been decided by the House of Representatives, with each state delegation getting just one vote. Even though Democrats have a majority in the House, more state delegations have Republican majorities. Trump would have been reelected.
It’s just stupid


Guy gets 6-7 million less votes and wins?


The electoral college is a total debacle

It’s not too much of a leap to go from thinking it’s ok for a guy to win with millions of votes less to thinking it’s ok for someone to be president even if they lose

This electoral college is completely delegitimizing democracy

The reality is it’s such a messed up system we now have tens of millions of Republicans who think Trump should be president win or lose… they complain about fraud etc but these are just excuses… “Hey if we don’t count California Trump won”…what they really mean is Trump should be president win or lose

Our electoral college system is fundamentally anti democratic
And if you believe it was “close” does that mean it was close in 2016???


Because I don’t remember hearing much about how it was close in 2016

Again, if it was 269-269 the house would have picked the guy with 6-7 million less votes which means it was “close”?!?

Trump actually wouldn't have needed those 45,050 votes. He only needed one more than half of those margins. He would have needed 5229 in Arizona, 7015 in Georgia, and 10,283 in Wisconsin. So really he only fell 22,527 votes short.

Thats assuming people flip votes. Hutch’s method is more of a “what if his voter turnout was just a bit higher”.
I have a method?
Leave it to liberals to flip five states (plus an electoral district in NE) from 2016, win the popular vote by 6-7 million votes, and still find a way to shit  themselves….

This is sarcasm, right?
All we heard after 2016 was what a terrible candidate Hillary was…what a terrible campaign she ran!!! We were told repeatedly anyone else would have won


Blah blah blah


Looks like the Wayne County "patriots" are now worth 2 or 3 Stormys as they have reversed course on certifying those results… screw these people…
Until liberals accept the following they are forever going to be disappointed


1. Trump is the greatest presidential politician since LBJ
2. The American people are not liberal

Just keep repeating it until it sinks in.

This is a bitter pill and I'm coming around
I think it's all about messaging

there is a large segment of Americans who just want someone to be a dick to the opposition rather than any policy
They could care less about policy, they just want them liberal tears

What? My perspective on LBJ and yours are VERY different.
