    The alternative is too horrible to grasp.

    "We . . . lost? You mean it wasn't stolen from us?" :eek:

    BTE, you can draw a line from that to the same garbage that comes out when somebody's favorite team didn't win.

    "The refs" ---> thing that pretty much destroyed any chance of intelligently discussing football online.

    The switch was flipped at about 7:15 Eastern time on election night.

    But, but Putin knows that Trump f*cked up too much to be saved this time!

    "Vlad, can you help me out, for old time's sake?"
    "Can't do it, Donnie."[​IMG]

    Here is Bill Barr giving aid and comfort to an avowed enemy of the United States.

    Inside Trump’s coronavirus meltdown | Free to read

    What went wrong in the president’s first
    real crisis — and what does it mean for the US?

    What has gone wrong? I interviewed dozens of people, including outsiders who Trump consults regularly, former senior advisers, World Health Organization officials, leading scientists and diplomats, and figures inside the White House. Some spoke off the record.

    Again and again, the story that emerged is of a president who ignored increasingly urgent intelligence warnings from January, dismisses anyone who claims to know more than him and trusts no one outside a tiny coterie, led by his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner – the property developer who Trump has empowered to sideline the best-funded disaster response bureaucracy in the world.

    People often observed during Trump’s first three years that he had yet to be tested in a true crisis. Covid-19 is way bigger than that. “Trump’s handling of the pandemic at home and abroad has exposed more painfully than anything since he took office the meaning of America First,” says William Burns, who was the most senior US diplomat, and is now head of the Carnegie Endowment.

    “America is first in the world in deaths, first in the world in infections and we stand out as an emblem of global incompetence. The damage to America’s influence and reputation will be very hard to undo.”

    When they hear their lord and savior preach, they are inspired to express publicly what they once held privately.

    Team Putin used computer modeling to identify key districts necessary to flip the Electoral College. At about 7:15 election night, they flipped 'em.

    Up until just about precisely that time, virtually all exit polling from virtually all sources of all bias inclinations showed Clinton taking a tight yet still conclusive decision.

    Then, all of a sudden, badda bing badda boom. Like somebody flipped a switch.
