“Stay tuned”

If these lying assholes had a shred of evidence, they’d be blasting it out over the news 24/7 immediately. They wouldn’t wait a second to let everyone know that they could finally prove it.

They haven’t got shit.

How many times are they going to cry wolf about the same thing?

They'll keep crying wolf until no election theft claim has credibility. That way, when they actually steal the elections, nobody will believe it because they'll think it's another wolf cry.

We need to start scoffing and rolling our eyes every time we hear that. Just make fun of it, humiliate anyone who repeats it. It's vitally important that the media do it, but they always just play along like it's a viable argument.

People weren't doing this from the start?

Not really, especially on the elected level. The Dems spent the last 8+ years being polite to MAGA, hoping they'd come around, and they only got worse.

Now I am openly saying that MAGAs are one of the few groups for whom ferocious bullying is not only allowed, but strongly encouraged. Make fun of them, humiliate them, laugh at them, snort at them, fart on them, knock their books out of their hands, be really really mean to them until they cry, etc.

Open season on Anti-vaxxers, too.

Vince Foster has entered the chat...

For the younger folks, Foster was a Clinton official who committed suicide after the 1992 election. He'd had a history of depression and his death was investigated by several agencies, all of who concluded that he'd taken his own life.

The GOP has been blaming his death on the Clintons for decades.

Dude needs to be drug tested daily. I have not seen a single sober pic of this guy.

He needs to get into rehab, where they can safely deal with any withdrawal symptoms.... After he is removed from office for being unfit for the position, of course.

His girlfriend in Canada

I can confidently assure you that no one in Canada is that full of self-loathing.

And yet, still, fuck off, Patel.

Uh huh. Ok, then Trump was the 2020 winner I guess, and was the real president again starting 2021. So then he wasn't eligible to run in 2024 or take office in 2025. So, get his ass out of there now.
