Ben Sasse: "You're Being Scammed, Trump Supporters."

The 2020 General Election was perfectly fair, honest, and legal – there was no ‘fraud,’ the election was not ‘stolen’ by Biden and the Democrats.

There are the facts; Sasse is appropriately acknowledging these facts.

That you and other Trump sycophants are so willfully ignorant doesn’t mean Sasse is wrong.
The divisiveness that Putin hoped to exploit in America by interfering in the 2016 election to assist Trump is not a matter of Party affiliation, but of intellect vs emotion. The failed casino operator's cult is not driven by rational considerations.

Intellect? Don't kid yourself moron.

No, Trump is not a conservative. He's a big government populist. You tards don't even know what conservatism is anymore. It's like the left still referring to themselves as liberals.
He's a mixed bag, for sure. But compared against statist scum like HIllary Clinton and Joe Biden
Trump certainly comes off as conservative many times.
His willingness to put the US in a deep debt hole is his biggest flaw, in my view.


Yep! Trump has his foibles, but the alternative is disastrously suicidal.
If you consider suicidal and potentially treasonous statements and actions to be "foibles"...I suppose.....


no.

not even that.

Hysterics! What treasonous statements and actions are you talking about? The Dems selling out this country to Iran, China and ISIS, for example, which Trump reversed? Are you talking about the Dems' on-going assault on the First and Second Amendments, most especially? Their love affair with socialist corporatism? Their on-going war against small business and the middle class? Their absolute hatred for the individual rights of natural law? That's betrayal. That's treason. Indeed, that's evil.

Got a reality check for you. All that fear and hate failed and your Orange Boy lost.

What you are missing is the fact that Trump need not be in the White house to remain the most powerful political figure in the nation. In some ways he will be more effective out of office.
Depends...

One thing not so good - the way he's been ignoring some pretty major stuff while sulking - Covid, vaccine distribution, the Nashville bombing....

Ignored COVID, vaccine distribution?! LOL! You live in a fantasy world. Everything that comes out of your mouth is partisan slogan-speak.
Remind me...what did Trump say about the Nashville bombing?
HEY uneducated partisan asshole, he won’t comment until the investigation is finished. Unlike idiots like you. Now take your bullshit and tell it walking moron.

What was he supposed to say or do about it? Democrats love crises, indeed, they're crisis mongers. That's their political bread and butter. It's all about power and control. If you think for a moment that Biden would have won the past election, apparently, beyond the margin of historic Democratic fraud in the face of Trump's accomplishments, but for the disaster of COVID-19, you live in a fantasy world.

Silly me...I would have expected him to act like any other president, you know...act presidential. But long ago I realized that was not expected of him.
And you should act like a rational adult human being, but that’s asking WAY too much of a proven liar like you.

You still don't get it, do you. He's already losing his power and he isn't out of office yet. And his worries have just started. Your world is crashing all around you. Time to wake up now.

Yawwwwwn....I mean really is that your teddy bear? Trump will dominate right wing politics for the next four years and most likely run again in 24 if he's not dead that is. At 72 million plus votes you are just dreaming if you think that he will be irrelevant. I predict that Biden will become irrelevant much sooner.

JO
It's
I am seeing some that voted for rump in here that have already moved on. That 74 mil is shrinking quickly.

Of course....they are not lunatic lefties going about beating up old people and setting fires to cities. That doesn't mean they will forget.

It's over. Move on.

It's not over and people can move aside without moving on....this constant droning about moving on is more like control freakism than it is good advice. Biden will be seated but that does not mean it is over by a long shot and I suspect that the next two election cycles will be ferociously vengeful of the fraudsters. Per chance we discover that Powell and her team were misleading us from the get go...then may the full weight of the judiciary land on her sorry ass through the dominion law suit.....Apparently Tucker saw this coming.
 

One little itty bitty problem. When they did the paper ballot recount, one of the states listed was 56 votes off and it was in Bidens favor. 56 votes off out of hundreds of thousands or millions is an acceptable difference and had zero affect in the outcome.

I also noted something about the suit. It has no date on it. That means it's not been accepted quite yet. Could this be the one that was bounced all the way back to never never land?
I'm not going to even attempt to argue the judgement or litigation on this with you. I am not a lawyer, nor do I care.

As far as whether it was "accepted," etc. I think it already went through the system. I am pretty sure this is just a copy.

The whole point here, is to address the OP.

In that, the claim that they are not making substantiated claims in court of fraud. But? As you can see from the docket, they have indeed.

The claims of the OP are patently false.

Now, whether there have been findings for the plaintiffs? That is another question entirely, and I am not here to argue that. I cannot begin to speculate on what happened in the hearings.

I am largely non-partisan in this matter.

How's that cherry pie? Surely you don't expect to juxtapose these against whole movements like Antifa and Blm? Please try to be more serious and show at least a modicum of intelligence when looking for counter arguments. Everybody has lunatic fringe followers.....the left on the other hand is the entire fringe.

Show me one single Political viewpoint that is not.....
 
I don't know if there was significant fraud in the election but I do know that whatever happened in key jurisdictions is a closely guarded secret. If there was no fraud, why so much secrecy and lack of transparency?
 
Orange Man Bad.
Was Trump's cult trained to parrot that as an alternative to purchasing a Trump secret decoder ring?

I've yet to come across any non-cultist using that expression.


Are you claiming that the Constitution empowers governors and state courts to override the constitutional prerogative of the several states' legislatures regarding the conduct of elections involving the appointment of electors or are you just spouting slogans again? You do realize that SCOTUS declined to hear Texas' challenge in terms of standing, not in terms of merit? You do know that there's a line of judicial precedent regarding the several states' legislative prerogative per the appointment of electors? You do realize that there was never really a hope in hell that Texas' would win the day even if SCOTUS had voted to hear its challenge given the political repercussions? In other words, you do realize that SCOTUS demurred strictly for political reasons, right?

No, of course you don't grasp any of these things because you're a statist bootlick of a know-nothing doofus.

Chaos and riots would have been the result if the constitutional imperative had been observed by SCOTUS after the election. That's why the flagrant usurpation on the part of state executives and judges should have been quashed before the election.
So just sorting through the wheat from the chaff, you're saying, "I don't care how the election is run, as long as Trump wins". Welcome to Russia. All the rest is BS. Even your post is soaked in political rhetoric. Talk about a bootlicker...(have you given any monies to The Orange Buffoon's money grab from sycophantic gullible losers legal fund to stop the steal?)

Nope. The Repubs won't nominate him again. They'll make sure of it. He'll run as an independent and split the conservative vote like Perot. Trump is nuts. He may have gotten 73 million votes. I'm guessing a good half of them voted for him because they hate Biden and are Republicans. Those people will vote for a Repub ticket in 2024 not Trumpie.

Not only will the Dems get more seats in 2022, I can't see the GoP ever getting the presidency again, unless they start moving back towards the centre. Maybe after the lunacy of the past four years, it'll start to happen.
 
Yeah, no kidding.

He's a Republican with a backbone, and not one of the slimeballs in the GOP lying to Trump's base for political expediency.

Some members of the House and the Senate are apparently going to object to counting the votes of some states that were won by Joe Biden. Just like the rest of Senate Republicans, I have been approached by many Nebraskans demanding that I join in this project.​
Having been in private conversation with two dozen of my colleagues over the past few weeks, it seems useful to explain in public why I will not be participating in a project to overturn the election – and why I have been urging my colleagues also to reject this dangerous ploy. ...​
2. IS THERE EVIDENCE OF VOTER FRAUD SO WIDESPREAD THAT IT COULD HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?​
No.​
For President-Elect Biden’s 306-232 Electoral College victory to be overturned, President Trump would need to flip multiple states. But not a single state is in legal doubt. ...​
3. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CLAIMS OF THE PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN?​
I started with the courts for a reason. From where I sit, the single-most telling fact is that there a giant gulf between what President Trump and his allies say in public – for example, on social media, or at press conferences outside Philadelphia landscaping companies and adult bookstores – and what President Trump’s lawyers actually say in courts of law. And that’s not a surprise. Because there are no penalties for misleading the public. But there are serious penalties for misleading a judge, and the president’s lawyers know that – and thus they have repeated almost none of the claims of grand voter fraud that the campaign spokespeople are screaming at their most zealous supporters. So, here’s the heart of this whole thing: this isn’t really a legal strategy – it’s a fundraising strategy.
Since Election Day, the president and his allied organizations have raised well over half a billion (billion!) dollars from supporters who have been led to believe that they’re contributing to a ferocious legal defense. But in reality, they’re mostly just giving the president and his allies a blank check that can go to their super-PACs, their next plane trip, their next campaign or project. That’s not serious governing. It’s swampy politics – and it shows very little respect for the sincere people in my state who are writing these checks. ...​
5. BUT ISN’T IT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS MORE THOROUGHLY? DOESN’T IT HELP GUARANTEE THE LEGITIMACY OF OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS?​
I take this argument seriously because actual voter fraud – and worries about voter fraud – are poison to self-government. So yes, we should investigate all specific claims, but we shouldn’t burn down the whole process along the way. Right now we are locked in a destructive, vicious circle:​
Step 1: Allege widespread voter fraud.​
Step 2: Fail to offer specific evidence of widespread fraud.​
Step 3: Demand investigation, on grounds that there are “allegations” of voter fraud. ...​
6. DO ANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES DISAGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS?​
When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent – not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will “look” to President Trump’s most ardent supporters.


Oh, and for those Trump worshippers who are going to yell "RINO!" RINO now means "Retarded In Name Only"
Quit hiding behind "Voter Fraud". There were multiple fronts of election tampering, only a small fraction of which was perpetrated by voters. Democrats use the term "Voter Fraud" to hide all the other illegal things they did, like shipping truckloads of bogus ballots for Biden from New York to PA, using Dominion Voting Systems to shift ballots from Trump to Biden, throwing away untold thousands of Trump Ballots, and many other witnessed events that were NOT "Voter Fraud". Don't fall for the word games.

Sasse is an actual conservative, one of the few left.
What does that even mean? Reverence for the Constitution and the Rule of Law? It wasn't important to him when he was casting his impeachment vote. He's been quiet as a Nebraska church mouse for 4 years, this former Constitutional lawyer and university president.

I would call it cowardice, but it was just his own self-interest over the country's.

All that said, he's absolutely correct that Trumpers are pure suckers. PT Barnum would be in awe of Donald Trump.

The Dominion suit claims her star witness was none of the things he said--not by a mile. Does anyone think she didn't know that, or should have, before making a big part of her lawsuits dependent on his expert testimony? I think she's going to be disbarred for lying to the Court.

Sasse is typical of many republicans in the senate with safe seats

he just won reelection with 67% of the vote

so even if biden is the Thief in Chief and if democrats own the House and have a majority in the senate election cheating has not harmed him in any way

except that he is metely the ranking member of his senate committee instead of the chairman

he’ll make big noises about taking the senate back while the democrats run over the best interests of 74+ million voters

does sasse give a damn?

of course not

he’s personally too comfortable to care
I thought Joe was senile? How could he mastermind an election steal?
