  • Bad Orange Man demands do-over of 2020

    BOM demands an immediate do-over of 2020 election, or to be summarily declared winner.

    Former President Trump reiterated calls for a new election in a post to Truth Social on Tuesday morning.

    "The Presidential Election was BADLY & IRREPARABLY TAINTED by the FBI’s FAKE description of the ‘Laptop from Hell’ to Facebook & the LameStream Media - & for MANY other reasons as well," Trump wrote early Tuesday. "Declare the rightful winner, or hold a new Election, NOW! Our Country, which is failing badly, knows the ‘score,’ and will never accept Criminal Election Interference."

    "The FBI just fired its Special Agent In Charge of this outrageous & very illegal assault on the Constitution of the United States of America!" he added.

    On Monday, the former commander-in-chief had written: "So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn’t, ‘Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election.’"



    He's right about his complaints, but fully bat-crap crazy with his demands.

    Based on polls about the laptop, essentially the election rigging accusation has been vindicated.

      Zuckerberg was on Rogan's show last week whining about how the FBI made him suppress Hunter's laptop, but even what he said didn't support the claim. He said that they came to him prior to the 2020 election and warned him to be on the look out for Russian attempts to influence the election.

      The thing is, that sort of warning from the FBI was inevitable because the Russians (and others) do try to influence our elections. They've done so for years.

      Such a warning was bound to be given even if there was no "laptop from hell."

      Moreover, Zuckerberg acknowledges that they never said anything about the laptop, and that instead, he decided that the New York Post story that broke regarding it "fit the pattern" of what the FBI warned about, and took it upon himself to suppress the story.

      The FBI has been repeatedly exposed as being dirty wrt almost everything involving Trump, but in this case I think it is Zuckerberg doing a CYA and shifting responsibility for his actions.

        I've seen this, it's dumb.

        Unless someone actually tampered with the election results, (stuffing ballot boxes, digital manipulation, or rampant voter intimidation/ physically keeping people from polls strong enough to dramatically swing elections, etc.) No court in the country is going to over-ride the vote of the people. In the case of "russian interference" or the "laptop", neither is sufficient. People voted on the information they had. That some of the information was wrong, lies, or even missing doesn't change the fact that they made their vote.

        Overturning election results requires bad faith actors on the part of those counting/reporting the vote, or actions so dramatic to keep people from voting (or blatant massive voter fraud) it would be headline news across the country for days on end.

          At this stage Trump is circling the drain to the madhouse or prison. The main threat now is DeSantis who may well steal away what’s left of your democracy. Most of you here will be cheering him on as he does it.

            Democrats are in line to do so first, all in the name of protecting democracy from others.

                Even if those severe things you listed happened, I'm not aware of any legal or Constitutional route for overturning or redoing an election, especially two years into the term.

                  Too much of a coincidence. The laptop story was breaking big (outside of the Leftist media) just as the FBI paid Zuckerberg the visit. In fact, Zuckerberg was asked point blank if the FBI mentioned the laptop specifically and he said he couldn't remember. So they might have. Again, the timing is too coincidental.

                    Elsewhere he indicates nothing specific was mentioned and says he did it because it "fit the pattern" of what the FBI was talking about.

                        Agree 100%. He is not helping his case with his hystrionics. Even if the election was fixed, it's too late to do it again now. Better to just disqualify Biden from running again and make sure it doesn't happen again.

                            Assuming the FBI didn't mention the laptop to Zuck, they most certainly wanted him to note that story. There wasn't anything else going on that would even resemble the 2016 Steele Dossier. All there was was the laptop.

                            But this is where I think Trump is nuts. He's calling for the election to be overturned (fat chance) or a do-over based on Facebook? I seriously don't believe most voters rely on Facebook for their political news. If they do then we're doomed anyway. It was all of the legacy media, the CNNs, NYTs, APs, WaPos, NPRs (etc) that buried the story that may have cost the election, and there has been no proof that the FBI also paid a visit to all of them. I bet they did, but these groups are so much in bed with Democrats that they would never mention it.
