    John McCain conceded. Every presidential candidate up to TFG conceded. I think it was Lawrence O'Donnell who said at a time of a politician's most painful defeat they have to make the most important speech of their life. Concession.
    Gore and Clinton won more votes. Gore's election was decided by a 5-4 Supreme Court decision. Clinton was cruising until Comey, against all precedent and all advice, announced an investigation into her email 11 days before the election that found nothing but caused a lot of voters to think both candidates were equally crooked and stay home. Both Gore and Clinton had good reason to squawk. They conceded. Gore as VP presided over the Congress certifying Bush II selection, with dignity.

    And let's not forget The Orangcicle never won a popular vote ever. Especially with Hillary. He won the electrocal college by a fluke but she was actually the one who should've been president..

    Trump has been indicted on 4 counts ..2 of them each hold a 20 year sentence..one a 5 year sentence and one a ten year sentence if proven guilty. He would most likely die in prison if convicted on all 4 counts if given the max penalties...the idiot should have copped a plea deal in 2020. His only hope would be a GOP administration that would give him a pardon if they held the presidency. That's 55 years of prison time if maxed out. Lock this fucker up and start the healing.

    Something there?? What are we talking about here? He was saying our votes (GOP & Dems) don’t matter! He was proposing an end to Democracy! Some sort of fraud? He was trying to rip our Constitution in half and burn it. If he doesn’t get serious jail time for this, there is no justice.

    What are the much more serious crimes? And are you saying two wrongs make a right?

    Russia is trying to put opposition leader Alexei Novolny in prison for life for the crime of running against Putin. They are also lamenting about how Trump is so persecuted.

    These new MAGA breed of Republicans are completely gone. They are a lost cause.

    It's like a religion. In that the people rely on no facts and only faith, so there's no amount of evidence to the contrary, no amount of facts, that will even make a dent. It's all a conspiracy, everything's a lie, I can't hear you, blah blah blah. You can't reason with them, it's a complete dead end. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...

    Let's start with the wars/bombings from prior regimes, that have resulted in the murder and enslavement of hundreds of thousands of people. Trump on the other hand is having the book thrown at him for keeping documents and arguing the election was fraudlent, both of which the Democrats have done.

    Eric Trump expressed outrage "they" are locking up political opponents. Eric Trump led "lock him up" chants at campaign rallies. He being President Biden.

    Trump is right about that. Mike Pence is not a very good person. He's a nasty little weasel.

    Stealing classified documents is a big freaking deal. When you take something you know you're not supposed to and lie about having it that's called stealing.

    That is a worse betrayal of the position than any president I can think of.

    January 6th puts it over the top. Benedict Arnold territory.

    I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. He won't, but I really want him to.

    Aside from all of that he was a horrible president. Absolutely terrible. No redeemable qualities.
