I think some struggle with the amount of votes at the final hours cities like Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee came up with . Could be legit maybe some cheating? Doubt we ever know.

Nah, we've known since Election night 2020......

The State iof Georgia admitted they counted 300k unverified votes. Which is illegal. This was in Fulton County, Ga.

Trump loss by 11k votes.

Does that count as something?

I just want to know where did 8 million votes go?

Did those people decide Trump was no longer Hitler, The Devil, Grand Wizard of the KKK all of sudden?

I’m still confused how Jan 6 was just a peaceful demonstration
I have never seen anyone say it was. Probably why you are confused. Or more likely it's a constant state. Protests in DC that caused the Secret Service to move Trump to the bunker were far, far more violent. So were many BLM riots. What's happening in Minnesota is an actual insurrection. Still confused, or do you need more help?

There is video of the cheating. The voting room was cleared and a suitcase was brought in full of votes. It was all over TV.

They were harassing, intimidating the R file watchers all night. They would physically block them from the counting, and laugh, ridicule them. Again, all over TV. Crud, same tactics they use with ICE.

Far more violent than Jan 6? How many law enforcement officers on duty died?

During the 2020 riots, more than 900 law enforcement officers were injured, including 277 officer injuries while defending the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, and 60 Secret Service officers defending the White House.

Total Deaths: While at least 19 people died nationwide in relation to the riots following George Floys death, these were not law enforcement officers.

Total Insured Losses: The damage exceeded $2 billion, surpassing the previous record of $775 million from the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

prosecutions / arrests: 300 Floyd, 1575 J6

I recognize all of the above as terrible. Why does one party want to compare J6 to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 and then give a free pass and justification for insurrections when their side does it?

I don't know and I don't personally have "a side" I just have common sense BUT if you are "protesting" and you hurt someone or damage property, you are an ******* and should be beaten.

So, zero is the answer to the question. Thanks for the detailed response.

Common sense is lacking on both sides and on this board.

Funny, if the elections are so much in question then we should probably take a closer look at 2016 and 2024. Nevermind doesn't work that way.

They tried in 2016. Or at least tried changing the rules or stopping the peaceful transfer the presidency.

2024 was such a blowout & Harris was such a terrible candidate, everyone knew there no election fraud that year.

There have been irregularities in elections going back to Kennedy vs Nixon maybe even back further Do i think sleepy joe got 80 million votes, no freaking way
The other guy didn't get what he got as well....right ? Timing was just right, a bungled response to a generational pandemic, economy in the tank because of it and just being an enormous ******* was the perfect storm. We need to cap political office at 65. The last 10 years have been an historic embarrassment.

You have to be 35 to be President and having an age cap would be a smart idea.

My Dad is around the age of Joe and Don...he takes a ton of prescribed meds each day, he naps all the time, he listens to Fox News, Chiller and Sci-fi on volume 99 and he has the thermostat set to "Incinerate"

And that is not the atypical 80 year old...that is pretty much just what 80 is.

65 seems pretty young still. I could get behind 75 though.

We'll call it even for 2000. Lets just say it is 1 to 1 in cheated elections. Although in a country where money buys influence I suppose all elections are stolen or at least manipulated as the voters never actually know what is going on, just what is allowed to be reported to them.

Trump had a historically bad year in 2020, a pandemic, economic collapse, riots, police brutality...Biden sucked, still can't believe Trump and Biden were the best the country could muster...plus it was easier to vote and people were more motivated. Biden then dropped out in 2024, that pissed off ALOT of democrats, just as it would Republicans if Trump was "forced" to quit, Kamala was promoted without democratic process, she was disliked royally by men, and especially men of color, and Trump, whose big weakness was his humanity was literally shot in the head and survived, and handled that situation with a rare amount of class. Kamala had no chance against Teflon Don. Your argument could made about Trump in 2016, Republicans had been blown out for the previous 8 years and suddenly found a ton of new people to vote. Well, Hilary has the effect on people.

55. If you can qualify for social security, you should not be allowed to run for office.

Bill Barr was the Trump AG, who was serving at the time of the 2020 election. He was the one who put a lid on the Mueller investigation, just as he did Iran-Contra much earlier. He has been a high-level GOP apparatchik for decades.
Said he told former President Trump that his claims about widespread election fraud were “bulls**t.” Trump's own DOJ probed allegations of voter fraud. Now there were proven instances of fraud in elections from 2016-2020 - 306 convictions across 37 states. 39% were Dem voters, 41% were GOP and unaffiliated the remainder.
Barr would have testfied at a trial concerning Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, had he been called to.
Barr's politics are very conservative. But he is not a dipstick conspiracy theorist.

Barr says he told Trump that election fraud claims were ‘bulls—‘
