Default That's the Ball Game: Trump Concedes

It's all over. The fraud stands, and he is throwing his own supporters who came at his invitation, to D.C., under the bus. There's a twitter link here, if y'all don't see it, copy the post and the link will show up.


I guess he won't even have the decency to pardon the protestors, who will be charged federally, I'm assuming, since their trespassing occurred on federal property.

Did he say the words?

A new administration could still be removed if fraud were to be proven. No?

Did he purposely avoid the word "concede" or is it not necessary and simply implied and assumed?

He didn't concede. He is admitting that there will be a new administration on 1/20 though.

I think it illustrates his love for America and putting the country first. You can do so reluctantly but still willingly. That is "sacrifice" to me.

I'd still love to meet the man and shake his hand. I never felt that way about any president ever.

Fraud isn't going to be proven, at least, any more than it already has. All of that will be circular filed, just like Hunter, Jim and the Big Guy's global payola scheme, the coup attempt, and the illegal spying on candidate and Team Trump.

It's over. I credit Trump for lasting as long as he did against the combined, marshaled forces of the Dems, Reps, government agencies, MSM, foreign countries, etc. It was Trump literally against the system, virtually everyone around him betrayed him, and he finally submitted. None of us could have withstood that onslaught, and definitely not this long.

It's over.

This might be an unpopular thing here, but I’ll say it anyway: If Trump had acted like an adult instead of a spoiled petulant child he would have won easily with no chance of voter fraud because the margin would have been so big. The constant tweets and statements calling people names and insulting them isn’t how a POTUS - any POTUS - should act. He did everything possible to make his opponents not just disagree with him, but despise him. His ego wouldn’t allow him to be humble, not insult people, not call people nasty names, or act like an adult.

He has some great accomplishments, but his legacy is forever enshrined in nasty insulting tweets and public name calling.

Unfortunately I have no hope Biden will be any better for the country, and likely worse. I fear for the country our children and grandchildren will inherit from us.

Sorry but Pelosi, Obama, Schiff and Shumer, all leaders, spoke of lies and untruths for the first three years and followed it up with a false impeachment.


Both sides are at fault but it started with the unproven Russia hoax.

As much as I hate to agree with you, you are 100% correct.

He did a lot of good for this country, but he was so un-Presidential while doing them he completely ****ed himself.

Don't think he cared who he pissed off and lots of folks voted for him because of it once or twice.
Anybody who didn't know he was an ass before he was elected was living under a rock.
He did what he said he was going to do and pissed off the establishment in ways few if any thought possible.
Shaking shit up in Washington needed to happen, the left was running unchecked.
Everyone can agree if he'd stayed off social media he'd won hands down easily but that's not his style.
Still all things considered we are better off than if Hillary had won and I hope the shit he stirred up brings changes, unfortunately with the lefties in charge now I fear the worst.
Best thing about Trump is he's not a politician and may be the worse thing.

I agree totally. Think how much more he could have gotten accomplished if he acted like a decent human being instead of a CF PRC nutjob. A PRC nutjob as the most powerful man in the world. How scary is that? Be a decent person. Try to work together instead of shitting on the other side. That goes both ways. Why does there have to be “sides” anyway? We The People? There ain’t no “we” there’s us and those other shitbags. What the ****. Why? It’s your fault. Huh uh, it’s your fault. **** you. No, **** YOU! Violence ensues. We are not petulant children, we are petulant adults and it’s bullshit. Everybody calm the **** down. Chill out. Drink a beer. Smoke a blunt. Get laid. Just chill.

Trump? I’m happy the ****er’s gonna be gone soon for the reasons Steve cites. Trust me, I ain’t happy about Biden any more than anyone else. Said it before and I’ll keep saying it. I hope he proves us all wrong but I doubt it. Try to give the ****er a chance and stop the us and them bullshit.

And there ain’t gonna be no proof of fraud BECAUSE THERE WASNT ANY! Maybe onesies and twosies here and there and maybe on both sides (that word again) but not enough to throw the election. If there were massive, coordinated, large-scale fraud, enough to throw the election, wouldn’t there something, anything, we’d all see by now and say oh shit these dudes ****ed this up. Lock their asses up. Who orchestrated this large-scale massive fraud and who are their cohorts? Nobody knows because they don’t exist.

Trump is one and done. History. There’ll never be another one like him. That’s for sure. Let’s try to move on, k?

Whew. I feel better now. I usually don’t do this because it reminds me how much I feel like shit about our country and I’m tired of feeling like shit about our country.

Have a good evening.

Cite the actual investigation or court case heard about fraud.


Show us the media investigation.

Another point.


Trump basically conceded today.


Why the call for the 25th Amendment? Both called on by Shumer and Pelosi.


Does that help?
