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.

It goes against every fiber of his being I would guess. He does not like to lose. Who does? Especially if you believe you did not lose fair and square.
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Another point.
Trump basically conceded today. Why the call for the 25th Amendment? Both called on by Shumer and Pelosi. Does that help? |
