    President Trump never said anything even resembling that, so the relevance of this quote escapes me.

      Last I checked December 13 is a good number of weeks after Election day.....

      But I see you're moving the goalposts now so have fun down that flowery path

        It is indeed but it is not as long a gap as January 7 the following year.

        And Gore did not organise a rally to prevent a democratic process from taking place.

            Hillary eventually conceded but has gone around since then grumbling about the election being stolen.

            And not just Hillary.

            Her gripe has been endorsed throughout the years by a number of leading Democrats including old Joe hisself, during the 2020 election.

            Moreover, the new darling of the left, their hoped for rising star, Stacey Abrams, is running again for Governor here in Georgia, refuses to concede she lost in 2020.

            But for that she's been praised as "resolute" and "brave" for standing firm in her convictions.

            What a load of hypocritical horse squeeze.

              Clinton did not try and get the courts or the states to overturn the election results. She did not suggest that her campaign team seize the voting machines, nor did she organise a rally in Washington to prevent a democratic process taking place.

                She was too busy wiping servers - you know, like with a cloth.

                  The creators/maintainers of BleachBit removed the "Endorsed by Hillary Clinton" banner on their website some time ago, but they still have a press page with links to interviews and articles discussing Hillary's use of the software to keep herself out of jail.

                    Actually she sued in a bunch of states claiming voter disenfranchisement and the like, and had the same level of success that Trump did.

                    She might not have organized a rally but her fingerprints are all over the Steele Dossier,[1] which was at the core for the phony Collusion Delusion. So she was up to her neck trying to get an election annulled, invalidated or whatever, based on phony charges she was behind.

                    And let's not forget the veiled threat she made before the last mid-terms in 2018 that Democrats cannot be civil unless they retake either the House or the Senate.

                    Or, how after retaking the House, we were treated to liberal civility about half a year later, for several "fiery but peaceful" months during the Spring and Summer of 2019.




                    1. not literally, although that wasn't the case with the missing FBI files back when she was First Lady.

                        Remember when they had to toss her in the van like a sack of potatoes? Media played that down.

                          Prior to that folks got summarily fired immediately after raising concerns about her health.

                          They couldn't hide it after that.

                          Iron-clad proof he wasn't fit to be president. Meanwhile old Joe falls down climbing stairs. Three times. One right after the other on the same trip up.

                            By way of review (from other threads), my view is that we will likely never know whether the election was "stolen" in the sense that Bad Orange Man and his more pugnacious advisers believed, i.e. various forms of direct tampering with votes. I do believe it was "stolen" in the sense that Big Tech and Non-Fox Big Media acted as information gatekeepers in ways that benefited Farnsworth, and that pandemic protocols also benefited that side.

                            So I do not at all believe it a "lie" that the election was "stolen," and I am not entirely confident that the Pandemicrats won't do more stealing in the midterms.

                              One might opine that he could accepted defeat gracefully rather than refusing [beginning on the night of the actual election] to concede he had lost. And I cannot recall another such period following a presidential election in the USA where the defeated [but temporarily still incumbent president] went to such lengths to try and retain power.

                                And don't forget the inaugural riots in DC, that was our first taste of the next 4 years. Or was it an insurrection? They marched on the White House and burned things as they went.
