My Thoughts on the Election

"Irrefutable evidence" of voter fraud???

Yes, I guess that's why every judge, including the Supreme Court, has thrown out all of his lawsuits due to lack of evidence of any wrongdoing.

Good try, "Bryen".

Keep flinging shit at the walls like Trump, something might stick.....

Or not.

I hope you enjoyed your victory drinks 

"BRYEN"   

you really do need to ingest MASSIVE amounts of LSD,  ( advised by a teetotaler) as your hallucinations might be more in the realm of reality compared to the alternate /  completely out of touch, nonsensical, and not well reality  you seem to "occupy"

the lone ranger at least wore a mask (yes around his eyes) 

I hope your fever passes

sit back down, everybody look whats goin round

Oh right, Alito, forgot about that "development" that will mean nothing. 
 

If you think that will get Trump out of the pit he's in, well, more power to you.

Clearly, the map you posted above doesn't mean anything.....

California is one of the states highlighted....Biden got twice as many votes as Trump here.

All voter fraud?

And I'm sure the active military overseas who have voted will be happy to know that Trump wants their ballots 

to be invalidated also because they are "late".

That should go over pretty well.

you were wrong...you lost...get over it....

As it stands now, even if the contested mail-in ballots in PA are not added to the final count, the one's being put aside as per Judge Alito's order,

Joe Biden will still take PA.  And, these corrupt people in Philly are actually following the judge's order. Now THERE's corruption!

As it stands, Captain Beefheart makes more sense than B-boy, at least The Captain has a stream of consciousness.    Most illinest B-boy. Rhymin' and stealin'.

Trump is losing, he really is.

>>you're about to witness truly historical events

Like the swearing in of the first female VP in our country's history in a couple months? You're damn right that will be historical.

You - on the other hand - are a "witness" that is truly hysterical. Thank you.

A squid counting votes in a polyethelene bag is fast and bulbous!

Lol, you've laid out an interesting case detective.

Truly historic indeed. It will be the first one n done president this century! The last one had a little more grace and character upon losing tho

Even the small amount of ballots trump is challenging in Pa will not offset the margin as it stands now. He’s toast

Thinly veiled for sure! We have known this was Trumps strategy for months. The only attempt at stealing an election is being made by your boy.

the people have spoken, the EC is speaking, yer boy is not wanted here anymore. The silly red hat will be a nice reminder of his failures tho.....great again..lol

Guess, like the soon to be former president that you are so enamored with, you are too narcissistic to share your thoughts along with the rest of us in the election results thread and have to start your own? You aren’t as important as you think you are.

your irrefutable bombshells are pretty amusing tho, especially from one who claims to be so informed. Your just another brainless copy/paste jockey 

grace:

Look on the bright side: you have a helluva future in investigative journalism  at TrumpTV, your one stop source for all deep state updates. Although you may have to actually do something more then copy/ paste someone else’s thoughts. Prob not tho

I'm not surprised people like byren think this way. It's like a different world over there on the fox news. They are so desperate, it's almost sad.

It's not any different then when they couldn't deal with Obama's win. And they call the libs snowflakes?! 
 Hey, at least 'Bryen' has  acceptanced the reality that  Biden has won. Of course it's not fair and square unless his team  had won. Talk about a sore loser. 

The neo-flakes..

I watched Kevin McCarthy spewing rubbish about no monitors being allowed in, windows being covered, etc... all the fox bobbleheads nodding.

May I suggest the fried kakamari to go with your two-buck chuck?

What happened to the Russians this go around?

beaten 

and not to mention the popular vote.

popular vote good, no bryen?

abolish the stupid racist hold over electoral college system. (remember when trumpaziod railed against it before it handed him the last election?)

and that tweet nancy posted really summarizes it. the hypocrisy staggering.

Fuck your feelings 

Must suck to lose to a sleepy dementia patient 

Suck it, Bryen.

No doubt.   The Republicans made gains in the House and have a good chance of keeping control of the Senate.  This was a referendum on and rejection of Donald Trump.

I dont even feel bad for Bry Guy.

Fuck Trump enablers.

Tonight we dance like Ewoks at the end of Jedi.

My Irrational Thoughts on the Election...

Fixed that for ya

Trump will go move in with Putin to avoid prosecution.

Fuck him and his whole fucked up, corrupt family.

And "Bry", I hope you're so proud you supported this piece of garbage.

Trump the simpleton with only one gear:

By my accounting, the final Electoral College vote tally should be 306 Biden to 232 Trump.  Not really close.

Thank god that an impeached one term loser lost today. I have read this Bryan guys posts I don't give them much credence. Is he trying to push the crazy ballot watermark conspiracy theory. What the flip is he talking about.

Trump refused to do his job for four f-ing years. He played golf, watched tv ae nd tweeted. He made threats and backed off every time he was called on it. He finally gets hit with a crisis and failed tremendously. Right now today there is vivid outbreak in the white house.

That is why he lost. We turned the corner on covid and drove off a cliff

This is a good day for patriotic Americans

Clarification not that anyone care I DISLIKE ALL THE I WAS THERE On FACEBOOM

Hope they sanitize the shit out of the White House before they let that old dude Biden in there.

The Alito order has nothing to do with anything. Alito ordered Pennsylvania counties to do the exact same thing the Pennsylvania Secretary of State had already ordered each county to do long before. In other words, going to the Supreme Court was just part of Trump’s dog and pony show to bolster the theatrics he is depending on to make his followers believe he has a case, and save face. He would rather leave office with his followers believing his was cheated, rather than defeated. It changes nothing.

Fuck off Bryen you putz brain troll. Alito's ruling is moot since the head of Pennsylvania's election had already separated those ballots and they don't figure in the count. Hope you have a good life when you get one moron. 

Well said DNB!

'Bryen' could be an impressionable idiot

Dear Comrade Code Name: "Bryen",

I regret to inform you your job working for Russian Federation Propaganda Agency, Department of Boomer Outreach, is terminated upon recept of this notice.

Unfortunately, due to your poor performance converting aging Zoners into Trump voters, we cannot recommend you for future employment.

And your cover story as a tour rat turned political operative was never deemed believable anyway. Please send back the ticket stubs we sent you.

Уважаемый товарищ. Кодовое имя: «Брайен», С сожалением сообщаю вам, что ваша работа в Агентстве пропаганды Российской Федерации, Департамент по работе с бумерами, прекращается после получения этого уведомления. К сожалению, из-за того, что ваша плохая работа превращает стареющих зонцев в избирателей Трампа, мы не можем рекомендовать вас для будущей работы. И ваша легенда о том, как туристическая крыса превратилась в политического деятеля, в любом случае никогда не считалась правдоподобной. Отправьте обратно корешки билетов, которые мы вам отправили

I thought you were informed bry

Wave That Flag, "Bry".

tried not to chime in but as an usher(not my proudest moment)at the Warfield. I apologize for kicking your hippy ass back into the approved area while I was dancing my ass off in aisle

I was the guy with Buckwheat on my tie

It wasn't an anomaly, Bry, it was simple math. In the states that counted mail-ins first, like Ohio, Biden pulled way ahead. That's because Democrats voted by mail and Trump told Republicans not to. When the walk-in votes were counted, it flipped to red. The opposite happened in PA and GA. It really isn't that complicated.

There is absolutely no proof that there was some widespread voter fraud conspiracy.

For some reason I don't think Phil was for Trump....

Good story Joy.

Bryen, stop coming back until the sentencing. 

I forget what step in aa were you make amends but I'd like to start with the trips I ruined being an usher on the floor in the Warfield, sold my soul for a free ticket to the show

the voter fraud conspiracy is now russia-gate for the right. 

funny. 

 Okay, no widespread or narrow spread fraud. It's fake news.

History will show...

If Philadelphia rigged the election they sure did a shitty job of it.

2016

Clinton-560,542

Trump-105,416

2020

Biden-561,604

Trump-126,678

And the Republican governors and Secretary of States in Georgia and Arizona? Why would they rig the vote?

After a while ushering at  the infamous Warfield Theater I longed to return being a fan. Went back to sitting on the concrete curb waiting in line on market in front of the strip club to get the rail above the dance floor. Hoodies down covering space long before theTXR hoodie gate.it was a hard get back then. but the rail above the floor at a JGB show was cherished real estate back then. God bless our crew back then that had the determination and the where with all to make it happen. I miss that tribe. Though we scattered across the globe since 

poppa jer checked out we still carry the mischievous vibe where ever we go

I think this says it all.  Rudy's presser today at The Four Seasons Landscaping in Philly.  They thought they booked the hotel. 

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/four-seasons-total-landscapi...

Bryen I have come to the obvious conclusion that you are one seriously sick, mentally ill, demented, desperate person. As a compassionate, empathetic human being, as I would for any sick person, I'll pray you get the help you so obviously need, though like the true blind addict that you are, I'm sure your denial will prevent it. I will never read or comment on another of your insane posts as long as I remain a member of this site. May god have mercy on your sorry soul. 

Don't return unless the results are overturned. 

You heard it here first, people.

Big announcement in a week.

That county isn't more than the margin.

God bless free and fair elections and the will of the American people.

Fuck Donald Trump and fuck the wave of ignorance and hate he rode in on.

Two times.

Dancin in the streets.

Swing and a miss. What else you got?

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/06/antrim-co...

And a U-M professor of computer science and engineering who specializes in voting systems and securities says it appears the snafu arose from an "unusual sequence of events very unlikely to affect any other jurisdictions."

"The erroneous reporting of unofficial results from Antrim county was a result of accidental error on the part of the Antrim County clerk," the state agency that oversees elections said in a news release

Looks like a big drop of mail in votes. You know the ones they counted last. Strike 2. This is too easy. Nothing to see here. 

Why don't you show us those graphs incrementally for the last 10%? Because from the point you are referencing on the trajectory stayed the same. As the lead got bigger and bigger. I know, math is hard for you repugs. 

No problem ass face. The only fraud has been in the White House for the last 3 years and 10 months. 

Your little wannabe despot lost, big time.

Get the fuck over it.

You mean when they finally got to counting mail in votes, they broke heavily for Dems after Trump spent months demonizing mail in voting to his followers and the lemmings followed his lead?

Shocking.

Are you being purposely disingenuously obtuse or are you really this stupid, Bry Guy?

Dont answer that. We know the answer is yes.

We've been doing that allllll day!

And setting off fireworks and dancing in the streets accordingly.

But by all means, enjoy your Rudy Giuliani led (lol!) hissy fit that will ampunt to pissing in the wind. Get it all out.

Cheers!

Gavin gets to appoint a new senator

https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR3Bn2AGgWWmEXGEGFZXx4ZKQJpvzcyHoIe...

It boggles my mind that you don’t understand how those graphs can happen, bry. Poll analysts have been saying it was going to happen that  way for 2 months. Donald Trump told his people that the only legitimate way to vote is in person. His base listened to that. Those votes got counted first. Those who actually are concerned about things like covid used alternate methods to vote. They are mostly democrats or people voting for Biden. Those votes got counted second. Combine that with the regional reporting of results with some urban areas coming in later than the rural trumplands and voila. 

Your graphs only demonstrate how accurate those who analyze this stuff for a living are. Sorry you didn’t keep up enough to stay informed ahead of time.

Funny that we are only talking about this because the Orange cry baby lost, if he won it would have been the most legitimate victory ever, the likes of which history has never seen. 

^^^^“Note “widespread” as the proverbial “qualifier”..whatever allows you to sleep better, but  it’s always a bit laughable when I see that term used, you guys are so funny”^^^^

But in your leadoff post:

^^^^“The irrefutable evidence of widespread, coordinated, systematic voter fraud is reaching a critical mass, at some point the corrupt media cabal will be unable to ignore what everyone is witnessing with an internet connection and the slightest bit of curiosity.”^^^

oh laughable one, how you with the shamey finger wagging simultaneously wags three more inward... 

Talk about “open your mouth and remove all doubt”

informed....lol

Bryen: Do you guys think I'll make a good political operative when I grow up?

Kid 1: Uh, not really.... you're too gullible, morally corrupt and just plain uneducated. Hey look!  there's a fly stuck on your head!

Bryen: Really? Quick brush if off.... Oh..you were just kidding. I believed you. I guess I am really gullible, huh?

Kid 2: Hey, where the hell is the gas money you owe us? Who's this "Mexico" person you promised is going to pay us?  I think you are full of shit. 

Ive been watching these threads you post on Bryen for years now never ever saying anything and waiting till this all has played out. All I gotta say man is, wow. I hope you get some reality checks and some help. You sound insane, like you need to talk with someone to work out these issues. Ive been an outside observer to your mentally  deranged take on reality. Get a grip. Why not take all this energy into helping make a change thats impactful ina positive way. I mean your invested obviously, so why not try to help an opposing side that is a fucked up as yours imo. 
P.S.  please stop white washing yiddish words. Signed my Eastern European grand parents and great grand parents. Both Sets fled the Nazis.

Yes thank goodness we were able to avoid having to do that here in this country for now

I'm Flyen,

Lie-in Flyen,

I used to be obnoxious when I was following the Dead,

Now I'm even more obnoxious when I land upon your head.

I'm not really FOR anything...just like to be against,

I love lying bags of shit, so I think I'll go land on Pence.

I was gonna land on Bannon, but he smells too much like booze,

I guess I'll buzz around the Zone, until Trump says, "I lose."

Bryen...  Up here....This is real Jezuz...put the guitar down. And take off those robes.

But real Jezuz, the election is not over. I still need to convert the masses. I have not converted one single Zoner yet.

Yes, my son, it's time to go. I've watched as you have been gleefully following the dark angels: Gingrich, Tucker, Hannity. I tempted you with false gods that show no compassion for my earthly creations. You threw in with the worst humanity has to offer. You failed me.

You mean I don't get to spend eternity with Joan Osborne? Am I going back to rehab? Prison?

Oh no...but you'll be spending a lot of time with con men, shysters, and worse of all... your buddies Don Jr  and Jared Kushner.. by the way...you won't need your coat. And leave the guitar... you're not really much good.

The one advantage of the election not being called for 4 days was that the Trumpians didn't know when to riot, so they never really did. Now it seems too late.

Bryen, It's real Jezuz again. I've been thinking. I'm going to relent on the guitar thing. You get to play one  Grateful Dead song for your eternity in hell. 

Oh real Jezuz, that's fantastic news. Can it be Estimated Prophet? That's me ina nutshell.

Noooooooo. I was thinking more along the lines of something more accurate... like Lost Sailer.

But real Jezuz, that's a Bobby tune. I'm a Jerry guy.

Ok then Bryen. So be it. You know what it's going to be --- even though you don't want to admit it. It sums you up perfectly.

Oh no real Jezuz... not... LOSER?

You got it bub. anna one, anna two...

Jesus, even Jesus knows Estimated is also a Bobby song.

Elections

How 'Obamagate' and Hunter’s 'laptop from hell' fizzled

The Logan Act. Burisma. Tony Bobulinski. John Brennan. Unmasking. The Durham probe. They were all on Trump’s last-ditch Bingo card, flummoxing voters.

In the end, “the biggest political scandal in the history of our country” and “the second biggest political scandal in our history” turned out to be neither.

President Donald Trump’s eleventh-hour efforts to impart a stain of criminality onto President-elect Joe Biden through a series of vague, circuitous and often false allegations, did little but inflame his committed supporters. And the months-long investigations by his Republican allies in the Senate failed to gain traction outside of the Trumpworld echo chamber as Trump hurtled toward an Election Day defeat. Now, Trump is facing his own mounting scandals that are likely to dog him post-presidency.

The Logan Act. Burisma. Tony Bobulinski. John Brennan. Unmasking. The Durham probe. “The laptop from hell.” They were all on Trump’s last-ditch Bingo card, flummoxing voters who hadn’t followed every twist in the tangled narratives. And as Election Day approached, even Trump’s Capitol Hill allies who were supporting ongoing congressional investigations into those issues began to back away, warning that the issues weren’t connecting with the electorate.

“I don’t think it moves a single voter,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told Axios as Election Day approached.

“I think Joe Biden should answer the questions being raised, but in the end, I think most Americans probably care more about their family than they care about the Biden family,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Iowa Republicans the week before the election.

In the end, Biden held on to every state Hillary Clinton won in 2016 and added at least four others: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. He is leading in too-close-to-call Georgia, as well.

And as he claimed victory on Saturday night, he was joined on a Delaware stage by his son Hunter — the villain of one of Trump’s last-ditch attacks — where the two clasped hands and waved after Biden’s victory speech.

Trump pushed two factually challenged narratives about Biden in the waning weeks of the campaign. In one, Biden was a mastermind of an effort to spy on Trump’s 2016 campaign, collaborating with top intelligence officials to derail Trump’s incoming administration. In the other, Biden was the secret beneficiary of multi-million-dollar business deals with shady foreign interests carried out by Hunter Biden.

But both stories were riddled with falsehoods, exaggerations and assumptions, often pushed by unreliable narrators who revealed no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden. Though Biden’s son may face legitimate legal problems over his foreign activities — and recent reports suggest he is facing an ongoing FBI investigation — no evidence connects the elder Biden to those allegations, and even Trump acknowledged that top advisers were urging him to back off the Hunter claims so close to Election Day.

“I get a call from all the experts, right? Guys that ran for president six, seven, eight times. Never got past the first round, but they’re calling me up, ‘Sir, you shouldn’t be speaking about Hunter. You shouldn’t be saying bad things about Biden because nobody cares,’” Trump said at a recent rally. “I disagree. Maybe that’s why I’m here and they’re not.”

In 2016, Republicans turned Hillary Clinton’s emails into a salient and effective cudgel, bolstered by the daily headlines about the Russian-hacked emails promoted by Wikileaks and lingering questions about the FBI’s probe of her private server. Those storylines fed a narrative about Clinton that had been decades in the making. But Biden, who has been well-liked on both sides of the aisle in Washington during his nearly 50 years of public service, has not been as easy of a mark. Additionally, the final reveals came just days before the election, after the first attempt to smear Biden — a campaign to pressure Ukraine into investigating the Biden family business dealings — ended in Trump’s impeachment.

“Any efficacy is undermined by the fact that they dropped this way too late to matter, with no meaningful groundwork laid since this angle was first derailed by impeachment,” said GOP strategist Liam Donovan. “The Hillary attacks worked in part because they played into an image of her they had built up in voters' minds over time. In this case they just seem to be throwing everything at Biden and hoping something sticks.”

Yet Trump’s fixation on these issues — born of a desire to settle personal grievances and to run, for a second time, against a candidate freighted by scandal — meant his allies on Capitol Hill were compelled to devote a disproportionate share of their limited pre-election bandwidth to pursuing them. And it caused incalculable damage to the delicate relationship between Capitol Hill and the intelligence community, Republicans and Democrats alike have warned.

Trump initially placed his bets on an October bombshell from U.S. Attorney John Durham, appointed last year by Attorney General William Barr to probe the origins of the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and any coordination with the Trump campaign. Barr, who helped blunt the sting of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump, also appointed a handful of other U.S. attorneys to review politically explosive cases prioritized by the president — from the outgoing Obama administration’s use of routine “unmasking” procedures in intelligence intercepts to allegations of misconduct by the FBI. Trump openly urged his Justice Department officials to prosecute his rivals, including Biden, and grew increasingly exasperated when he realized the charges would not materialize.

For over a year, the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), pursued allegations that Trump hatred within the FBI led it to launch the 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia. Though an inspector general found rampant problems with an FBI effort to surveil one Trump campaign associate, he also determined that the initial investigation was legitimate and found no evidence that bias drove any key decisions.

At the same time, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), ramped up an investigation into alleged improprieties by Obama administration officials in the weeks before Trump’s inauguration, and a parallel probe into Biden’s son Hunter’s business relationships.

Both investigations have featured high-profile public hearings with figures like FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that often appeared geared toward appeasing Trump’s thirst for retribution. Graham has promoted documents — declassified by Trump’s political allies atop the intelligence community and Justice Department — that loosely supported Trump’s version of events but often failed to hold up to deeper scrutiny. And on Tuesday, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will testify before Graham’s panel as part of the investigation.

Johnson’s committee released a report based almost entirely on unverified Treasury Department documents raising salacious allegations about inappropriate international business dealings by Biden’s son Hunter. The panel’s report found no evidence that the former vice president had acted inappropriately or twisted U.S. policy to help his son, but Johnson repeatedly insisted that it would prove Biden was unfit for the presidency.

The narratives were often convoluted even for intense followers of the Russia investigation and Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to gather dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine. The storylines appealed almost exclusively to Trump’s diehard political base, and were featured on right-wing websites and the Fox News primetime lineup — a large audience indeed, but a narrow sliver of the wider electorate.

The investigative efforts didn’t just fail to sway voters; they turned public trust in traditionally nonpartisan arms of the federal bureaucracy into yet another partisan litmus test, lawmakers said. By twisting the arms of officials within the intelligence community and the Justice Department, Trump and his allies have politicized these institutions in a way that will leave lasting damage, Democrats say.

Trump may exacerbate that strain in the coming weeks: He’s considering firing FBI Director Christopher Wray and other intelligence leaders he has accused of failing to pursue his preferred probes more aggressively.

Democrats have also maintained that Johnson’s investigation in particular was based on Russian disinformation, a claim that Johnson has strenuously denied. Though Hunter Biden has acknowledged that his last name often helped his career, many of the claims against the younger Biden were being parroted by a Ukrainian parliamentarian, Andrii Derkach, whom the Treasury Department sanctioned earlier this year and dubbed a Russian asset.

Even top Republicans privately urged Johnson to avoid the topic altogether. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned Johnson that his efforts could aid Russian disinformation campaigns, POLITICO reported earlier this year. And Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the acting chairman of the Intelligence Committee, has consistently distanced himself from Johnson’s investigations.

And Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a member of Johnson’s committee, consistently criticized the Hunter Biden investigation, saying it was a transparent political errand.

One reason that Biden’s allies say the allegations — whether they stemmed from the Russia probe or Hunter Biden’s business connections — never gained traction is that they were orchestrated by untrustworthy actors.

Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, worked for years to unearth dirt on Biden, partnering with people in Ukraine viewed as corrupt or aligned with the Kremlin. His early efforts led Trump to pressure the Ukrainian president into investigating the Bidens, a move that got the president impeached for abusing his power.

More recently, Giuliani, in partnership with the recently indicted former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, engineered the release of files allegedly contained on a laptop that Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware repair shop. The files have been trumpeted in the far-right media echo chamber, but have not stood up to scrutiny when investigated, and did not conclusively show any corruption.

“I think that the American public has caught onto the fact that Rudy Giuliani has no credibility,” said Daniel Goldman, a prosecutor who helped lead the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment investigation of Trump last year. “The conspiracy theory promoted and supported by Russian intelligence is so convoluted and confusing — and so far removed from Joe Biden himself — that it appears to be simply a smear campaign against the family of Joe Biden by a candidate whose own financial interests, as well as those is his own children, have benefited significantly from his presidency.”

Since Election Day, Bannon has been suspended from Twitter for suggesting the beheading of FBI Director Christopher Wray and top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. Giuliani has been Trump’s point-man for lodging complaints of voter fraud without providing evidence.

Despite the limited political salience of either line of attack against Biden, Republicans are foreshadowing that they’ll attempt to pursue them, particularly if they maintain the Senate majority, which appears likely.

And although Trump and his team may have overreached in making it a campaign issue, there are lingering questions about the FBI’s pursuit of alleged financial improprieties by the younger Biden that Trump may attempt to air during his last two months in office — or set up landmines for Biden on the matter after he takes office.

did you vote?

The Biden/Harris ticket is on track to win the highest vote share of any winning ticket since 1988, with the exception of the Obama/Biden ticket in 2008.

man that’s a lot of frauding!

guess ol joe wasn’t so sleepy after all

Now Trump's wife, who of course came here via a scam, is now tweeting about "illegal votes"......

You can't make this shit up.

If the Democrats were so fucking smart, why the hell didn't they steal the election from Mitch McConnell too?

My Thoughts on the Erection

- ping pong

Bryen can not have an erection.....

explains a lot?

^^^If the Democrats were so fucking smart, why the hell didn't they steal the election from Mitch McConnell too?

right! We’d have Grahams seat too. And what about 2018, where were all the investigations then? Guess it’s just a one time thing...

And now he’s headed back out on the campaign trail to raise money to fight it out. Lol. You have to be in a significant delusional state to buy anything this guy is selling. What a bunch a Fucking idiots. 

>And now he’s headed back out on the campaign trail to raise money to fight it out. <

I believe his goal is to incite violence.

Waiting for the worms

Was bryen 5150'd over the weekend?

I really can't believe you folks still reply to this consummate asshole.

 Y'all must be bored as fuck 

And the stock futures soar! Someone likes the news

Bryan, What is infinitely clear to me is you and all the DJT sycophants live on an island, Fantasy Island. Now it is time to go back to the rock you'all crawled out from under and let the world move on from this 4 year debacle into American stupidity. Let the history books be written for future generations to steer clear of this collective experiment into what a presidency should not be. Be gone into the dustbin. And if you're thinking he'll be back in 4 years, Cy Vance may have something to say about that. Using a golf course in Briarcliff Manor and submitting valuations for tax purposes of $1m and then using the same property as collateral on loans submitting valuations in multiples of $$$ millions constitutes fraud. Otisville is close by in Orange County. You can visit him there. I'm sure he will be happy to have you along with all the other supporters he hates for their unyielding devotion.  Bye byeeeee

That's the vaccine announcement, Fishcane.  

Yes indeed in conjunction 

<<<>>>>You have to be in a significant delusional state to buy anything this guy is selling. What a bunch a Fucking idiots.

thanks for being honest. 

that 2004 bush vote is quite rough. same for 92. 

>>> wall st won this election. again. <<<

settle down...

all progressives should feel good about this biden pick.

Former Wall Street cop Gary Gensler to join Biden transition 

Gensler's involvement will likely calm the nerves of progressives who want Biden to take a hard line with the finance industry.

Gensler's involvement will likely calm the nerves of progressives who want Biden to take a hard line with the finance industry. The former Goldman Sachs partner faced off with the banking industry as chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 2009 to 2014, guiding the agency as it imposed new rules on Wall Street trading after the 2008 financial crisis.

He left the agency as one of the most consequential regulators in the aftermath of the financial crisis, having led the CFTC through a vast expansion of its powers and a major overhaul of how the government oversees derivatives markets.

<<<>>>The former Goldman Sachs partner

actually, i think it's you who needs to settle down lol. 

Lol

>>> actually, i think it's you who needs to settle down lol. <<>

really, someone who understands how shit works, who beat back wall st once before.

and your takeaway is Former Goldman Sachs partner?
 

yea, fuck whistleblower shit.
 

now claim he's the fox guarding the hen house, smh

https://theintercept.com/2016/01/07/the-problem-with-hillary-clinton-usi...

seems like he tried and the obama/hrc/corporate agenda beat him down to where he doesn't really care any longer. 

hrc had him attacking sanders in 2016. 

sorry you think hiring goldman sachs partners is a good idea to regulate wall st, but people who understand how this works know this is how the neoliberals operate -- and you're eating it up, have been. 

<<<>>>yea, fuck whistleblower shit.

that's obama's legacy lol. 

thod cares so much now. 

yo, biden's covid plan doesn't call for any additional stimulus. strange. 

>>> sorry you think hiring former goldman sachs partners is a good idea to regulate wall st, but people who understand how this works know this is how the neoliberals operate -- and you're eating it up, have been. <<<

if I was a prosecutor, I'd rather have a former Lt. of the crime family I'm prosecuting on the stand then some 

pizza bitch theory from a butthurt bernie bro, jus sayin'

I believe Biden's stimulus is to be found in his economic plan, not his COVID plan. Sneaky, huh?

thod you're quite bitter. you bring up my profession quite frequently here. 

maybe if you got covid and survived you'd be a little more grounded? 

your foaming at the mouth, is that a symptom? 

just sayin'......? 

^^it says "provide additional checks should conditions require". 

it hasn't been updated since april? 

>>> maybe if you got covid and survived you'd be a little more grounded? <<<

yea, I'm good

I'm not a religious guy but I'm preying you guys get epic pow dumps.

one more thing....

you might wanna get that phone upgrade, flip-fuck

it's been broken af for a longtime

you're a mess, dude. 

the US came together and carried your water, fuckin' bum

it's funny tho

you went and checked out biden's covid plan to see what kind of stimulus you'd be getting.

sure you deserve it?

This is a result of Ted Kaufman's influence. Along with respect to the Warren/Sanders' wing of the party. 
embrace it. 

Biden's statewide PA lead climbs past 45k.

>>>>Along with respect to the Warren/Sanders' wing of the party. 

Let's see if that respect lasts past inauguration day.   

^McConnell puts the breaks on most of the progressive agenda. I don't foresee the Democrats taking either seat in the Georgia runoff elections 

>>> I don't foresee the Democrats taking either seat in the Georgia runoff elections  <<<

why?

I think trump trash won't be as motivated after losing georgia, a lot of them don't how shit works

but the msm we'll give a heated dog race just the same

repugs need 3 outta 4 senate seats to maintain power

dems need 2

harris is 51

The Republicans will take the Alaska and North Carolina seats.  Georgia will be interesting, but I suspect it will be a split.

andrew yang is moving to ga. to help win this shit

#yanggang

>why?

Ossoff lost by 1.8% the first go round.

2,456,758 for Purdue 

2,366,892 for Ossoff

The other race...

2,276,779 for Democratic candidates 

2,384,371 for the Republican candidates 

I believe my math is correct. 

Both sides will be motivated, but I believe the numbers are on the Republicans' side.

>>> Both sides will be motivated, but I believe the numbers are on the Republicans side. <<>
 

how many trumpsticks aren't gonna show up because he ain't on the ballot?

they didn't show up in 2018

how many repugs are gonna stand in 8-12 hr lines to vote after their messiah lost?
 

how many trumpkins believe that mail-in-ballots are a sham and won't mail them in?

 variables man, the momentum favors dems

albeit an uphill battle.

one more thing...

stacey  abrams

if they'd embrace left policy they'd win much easier. 

corporatists lose and give us trump(s..). 

^^Republicans will be motivated to stop Biden's "leftist agenda" and to stop the expansion of the Supreme Court. 

> the momentum favors dems

It does in some ways, but with Dem losses in the House, and the Senate still in limbo, this election was more of a rejection of Trump than a strong mandate for Biden. Incrementalism seems to be the prudent play here, until the make-up of the Senate is determined at least.

country super crazy.

saw buddy yesterday...

let's just say god n' guns....god n' guns...

it's why the neolibs lost the down ballot, seats in the house, lost the senate, barely beat trump -- let's be honest, if it wasnt for covid, we'd have trump again.
