How do you destroy a nation? Pretend that every election your side loses is rigged. In Florida, a Republicans loses 80%-20% in a heavily Democratic district and won't concede, instead filing suit:
In the latest indication that some Republicans still loyally use former President Donald Trump’s “big lie” logic about nonexistent voter fraud to comfort their own bruised, fragile egos, one losing conservative candidate who was trounced this week by a progressive Black woman Democrat in Florida said he planned to sue over what appear to be very definitive election results.

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was projected as the winner Tuesday night in the special election for Florida’s 20th congressional district to replace U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, who died last April.

Conversely, Republican Jason Mariner was officially projected to lose the election. But it’s not just that he lost — it’s how he lost. According to CNN, Cherfilus-McCormick won nearly 79% of the vote while Mariner captured about 20%, trailing his opponent by more than 32,000 votes.

Still, Mariner is refusing to concede defeat and is reportedly planning to sue over the election’s results.

His actions speak much more clearly than his words.

“Now they called the race, I did not win, so they say, but that does not mean that they lost either, it does not mean that we lost,” Mariner said Tuesday.

Huh?

Mariner’s refusal to accept reality shouldn’t be surprising to anyone who was paying attention to the election. Even before polling places closed on Tuesday, he filed a lawsuit alleging issues with ballots in Palm Beach and Broward Counties, CBS Miami reported.

The Boston Globe — Mariner’s hometown newspaper — reported that Mariner “said he will file a lawsuit” over the election results.

That's the thing, there might possibly be a huge turnout in November to try and save America and prevent the fascists from their attack. But in ALL red states the votes will be counted or CERTIFIED by republicans, most of whom will do what the MAGA universe tells them to do if they want to stay republicans. Chaos will ensue.

Edward O'Neill: "I have my own criteria"

Edward O'Neill Rosa became the new mayor-elect of Guaynabo on Saturday and two great challenges already weigh on his shoulders on which the success or failure of his administration will surely depend: regaining the trust of citizens after the federal arrest for corruption of his predecessor Ángel Pérez, and disassociate himself from the sexual scandals of his father and former municipal chief executive Héctor O'Neill.

No, actually, they don't reject it. The polls show they are in favor of it.

But you want Trump back in full power, don't you? That's why you voted for all his supporters, isn't it?

What it is is playing on peoples pride to make them too embarrassed or ashamed to support basic democracy, justice and humanity, and so far its working. Trump and his agenda are emboldend by the lack of confidence and fight for these issues, they have been calling out against them and getting no response well maybe a slightly begrudging only if they have to response but all systems say go noone in power cares about these things because its shameful if you do. Noone dares cross the aisle to support them. I would just say look at how grim things have grown and where our country and world are. its unsustainable and about to change one way or another. Needs to be for the better.

Not nobody cares, but most dont care enough.

If idiot cons want to see a FAR left agenda, this is MY agenda and it may not be far enough:

nationalize all access to cell towers and internet, either by taking over the industries or creating income related access...
nationalize all energy, oil, electricity, natural gas...absurd to have for profit deciding what we pay...
nationalize healthcare, of course...
same for higher education...

That is where I would start, and it wouldnt be far left actually...because I would probably add a minimum income for all citizens.
I sigh in your general direction.

It’s funny that Glenn wants the GOP to take over Congress and the arsenate in 2022, so that they can shut down investigations into Jan 6th and move to impeach Biden.

Of course, Glenn doesn’t know his history and doesn’t think things through. There’s one thing that’s always less popular than the President and that’s the Congress. An unpopular Harry Truman ran against a do-nothing Congress. If they win, the Republicans will show what big liars they are, it’s going to be bad for them in 2024 when the run Trump again.

If the choice is equal rights for POC and Gay folks or breathing, they will always opt for preventing rights for others.

Dumb, very dumb, and it is playing out now with Covid. All cons or just about all are using the virus as a tool to own the libs because of something said by the dumbest person alive. Meanwhile, the virus ravages us and it would not be nearly as bad if all these assholes would get the vax. Vote for any republican and you are voting for NOT vaxing.

and who is Dan Crenshaw?

No I want them to take over because of the far left wing agenda of Biden and our current House and Senate.

You people on the left always do because frankly you have nothing.
When you oppose a Republican it is because of political principles and beliefs. If a conservative or a Republican opposes a democratic if it because of hatred or bigotry or some other nefarious reason

Fuck OFF calling my reps, my fellow patriots RATS...fuck OFF




GA is replacing election officials in democratic counties with trumpers...America is bye bye you FUCKERS :twisted:

When they steal elections in those counties, patriots will have to defend their country. It wont matter how much we win by, the GOP as I said months ago, simply wont certify any election they lose. Or as trump just ordered them to do, make sure they are the ones counting the votes so they can steal the elections.

This is actually happening right now.

And then there is this from the FUCKING TRAITORS

Texas rejects hundreds of mail ballot applications under new voting limits


Joseph Ax
Tue, January 18, 2022, 3:27 PM·3 min read
By Joseph Ax

(Reuters) - Texas election officials have rejected hundreds of mail-in ballot applications, abiding by a new Republican-backed law just weeks before a March 1 primary kicks off this year's U.S. election cycle.

"My friends, this is what voter suppression looks like," Democrat Dana DeBeauvoir, the Travis County clerk, told reporters on Tuesday.

The county, home to the state capital Austin, invalidated approximately 300 applications because people failed to meet the law's stricter identification requirements, said DeBeauvoir, who retires at month's end.

Lawmakers in Texas approved a raft of voting restrictions last year, one of many efforts in Republican-controlled states to pass new limits after former President Donald Trump falsely claimed he lost the 2020 election because of widespread fraud.

Think for a minute how STUPID & SICK a con is...to them a RAT is someone who wants poor people to have food and shelter and POC and Gay people to have equal rights. I cant get much angrier, it is a good thing I have to shelter in place, I dont think I should be anywhere near these FUCKERS :twisted:

There you go all tou have is slogans and talking points. The party of trump is the left wing's media latest attempt at discrediting the GOP.
Back during W we were all Nazis since then it has gone to racist, fascist and the party of trump. I am probably missing one or two.
None have worked and it shows that the democratic party are trying to get people to vote against Republicans as opposed to getting them to vote for the party agenda.
Because democratic leaders aren't stupid they know if they honestly laid out their left wing agenda they would lose.
Look ar Biden's current numbers. After just a slight taste of democratic socialism's agenda the people are chomping at the bit to vote out Pelosi, Schumer and Biden.
So sad that your party can't run on their agenda instead of having to run on the politics of personal destruction.
