The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No, Trump lost under the rules the dems legally put in place at the last minute.

Rigged - no, the but I think the Dems deliberately exploited the Covid crisis to establish massive mail-in voting at the last minute with little time to develop effective procedures to verify ballot requests and verify ballot received.

All legal, so good job dems. Now if they can just boot people off the ballot when they can't defeat them at the polls, then the survival of democracy survival will be assured.


No. Your Fearless Leader knew he was going to lose so they concocted a BS story. Even before the final day of the election various columnists talked about what would happen. It was well known evidently. Most of the rules said mail in votes couldn't be counted until the polls closed, whereas walk in ballots could be counted almost immediately upon being cast. Republicans make it easy for their folks to go down and cast a ballot, so a red wave was predicted that materialized. But it was just white folks voting mostly. We did see long lines of black voters in areas though. But then the mail in votes were counted. Now we knew from the past that this would likely be blue, and it was, but there were still nail biters in many areas.

So Trump knowing he had lost, set this up as Democrats cheating, and the vote had been manipulated. Nothing of the sort happened. Democracy suffers. The reason you repeat this is you've been told this, but I actually think you don't believe what you tell us. It's just you having fun playing with the Dems. Thinking you're out foxing and toying with them. But Democracy suffers when you do it.

That's a line I can't cross.
