Trump's baseless assertions of voter fraud called 'stunning'

[moonshaz]

Without putting forth any evidence, the president-elect says he actually won the popular vote

does this fool not realize that supposed voter fraud is exactly why the recount/audit, which he is against, should proceed

i can't believe this is our reality right now

It's hard to be stunned when you've already been beaten numb.

He's like a blitzkrieg of offense. He and his puppeteers have brought a blitzkrieg of unfathomable 'unimaginable' .... shit. I can't help but think it's intentional at this point.

They're just beating America down with and and all kind of odious crap, over and over again before anyone has a chance to process what actual policies are being put in place.

Weeeeell the article is right that all the hullabaloo is burying all of the conflicts of interest coverage, which is probably a more important thing to be focusing on.

If he says a dumb, factually incorrect thing, everyone's going to look at the dumb thing and forget about the bigger things to criticize him about. It's happened a ton of times before now. Of course it's intentional.

Well, at least one article I've read lends credence to the idea that he's doing all of this deliberately: There’s A Method To The Madness Of Trump’s Tweets. Or Maybe Just Madness." But I don't think I'm the only one who is confused by the seeming contradictions between his seeming "five year oldness" and the fox-like craftiness involved in knowing exactly when to display that "five year oldness" on twitter, lol!

The only thing I know for sure is that whether his behavior is just the result of uncontrolled tantrums or there is (as the above article says) a "method to his madness," I hate him just as much either way.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Regardless of what his motivation is, the message is negative: either a) he's a narcissistic man-baby who shouldn't be trusted with any kind of power or b) he's a manipulative, lying cheat who shouldn't be trusted, full stop.

At least the former would mean he possibly has something that might act as a sort of soother.

He's really a natural at poisoning the well.

So let me get this straight, Super Hitler:

The vote was rigged, except in WI/MI/PA, where it wasn't rigged at all, except it was rigged everywhere because of illegal votes, but there wasn't any voter fraud, except where there was?

JFC, when will this hellacious nightmare end?

[grace_om]

At least every publication I've seen on this is calling BS in the headline. Where was this level of blunt fact checking before the election??!!??
