In reply to Tyvor Winn. If you have the opportunity to see rudy and his 'star witnesses' lying in front of some of our (MI's) state officials yesterday, watch. The boldness with which they tossed out lies was astounding, and since rudy wouldn't talk about anything if he and his folks had to be under oath, there's no way anything more than being mocked could happen to them. Case in point for their shit: one of his "stars" was asked for her proof of vote fraud in Detroit. She said:

“I think Chinese all look alike. How can you tell? If some Chow shows up, you can be anybody and you can vote.”

Our Republicans ate it up. The only question asked of Rudy was this: (Rudy and the Republicans were upset that someone would try to hold their man accountable.)

You've presented no evidence for your assertions. You've had 30 of these assertions rejected by courts without hearings. You wouldn't agree to be under oath here so there's no way to hold you accountable for your accusations. It's been alleged that you have asked President Trump for a preemptive pardon. Given all of that, why should we believe anything you say?

Re “and his followers, now the biggest threat to national unity, will forget he existed and crawl back into their politically dark holes.”

Or, perhaps more likely, Trumpists will teach their children to live in their rightwing fantasy world so that their progeny and the remaining elders will be standing by for the next would-be dictator that calls on them. Trump and the modern Republican party have shown that our vaunted Constitutional protections and legal boundaries are actually quite easily breached, especially with a spineless majority of enablers in the Senate and now a Supreme Court majority dominated by what passes for “conservatism” these days.

In fact, if Trump had been a more sophisticated villain he might well have won a second term. Even as a malignant moron who let a pandemic rage, he attracted over 70 million votes and his party made gains in the House and may well retain control of the Senate.

2020 will certainly go down as one to remember.

In reply to dean. Have you seen the type of lawyers who support trump? (Rhetorical, I'm sure you have.) What they're saying is no more dishonest or fanciful than what rickA's said multiple times.

In reply to dean. RickA is a lawyer. That might be a factor here.

Very good article on the attempts by the right to steal the election here in Michigan and elsewhere by lying about fraud — right down rickA’s comments.

Side note: isn’t it interesting how resident troll rickA has been silent on trump’s bull shit about fraud, vote stealing, and other crap. It’s almost as though his “concern about election fraud” was just hypocritical bullshit.

Certainly better than 2020, but the bar was set very low. At least the orange stain and his goons will soon be gone and a coronavirus vaccine is imminent. It is also heartwarming to see Biden putting climate change mitigation front and center of his administration. The hope is that he promotes enough progressive policies to begin deradicalizing many in Trump’s cult base. That won’t be an easy task, given how these people have come to see Trump as some sort of divine messiah that came to rescue them from Marxists, communists, migrants and immigrants. That Trump actually loathes them and serves a single constituency – the rich classes – is not on their radar.

Still, I can’t wait to see the back of this year. Bring on 2021.
