I had fully intended not to renew my trial subscription. But this is so profoundly stupid I had to respond. So if you need $6 that badly here it is.
Even before the election Donald Trump was bitching non-stop about a stolen election (of course then it was contingent on it was only stolen if he lost). No one shut Donald Trump up when knowing damn well he was going to lose decided that having a civil war fought over him was even better than winning and did everything possible to piss people off.
Yes Glenn Loury Donald Trump did in fact yell fire in the proverbial crowded theater. Donald Trump knew damn well he was sitting on a powderkeg and the slightest spark would ignite a wildfire. No one shut Donald Trump up when he lit that spark with shit like "all the tough guys love me", "stand back and stand by", "be there will be wild". No one shut Donald Trump up when he threw gasoline on the fire on election day demanding the vote count be stopped. Only after "J6" once the message sent was received and Donald Trump's goon squad showed up to resurrect him in the Oval Office by brute force did anyone shut Donald Trump up.
Make no mistake Glenn Loury. They came damn close to doing exactly that. If they had gotten their hands on Pence or Pelosi or any other legislator it would have been a very different outcome.
There is no way to know with certainty who won the 2020 Presidential election. When it was over I accepted the official results that Joe Biden had won, and hoped his promise of unification rather than division would come true. Silly me.
The U.S. Constitution is clear that the separate states' legislatures alone had authority to make election arrangements. Election rules were set by bureaucrats in many states, beginning with mail-out ballots. Pretending that this was the same as absentee ballots by mail missed a crucial difference: Absentee ballots had to be requested by the voter, thus establishing an audit trail. Widespread use of ballot harvesting further obscured the audit trail. Private placement of ballot collection boxes in Democratic precincts only completed the audit trail destruction in many states. For years the legislatively mandated election rules required ballots to be received, or at least postmarked, by election day. Those rules were waived by bureaucrats, and hidden counting in Democrat precincts denying Republican observers the opportunity to observe "flipped" states inexplicably.
Each of these is well-documented in news reports. The claim that Donald Trump was shouting fire in a theatre is poppycock.
So the election was stolen from Donald Trump you think. But you accept the results. Very benevolent of you. It doesn't matter what you or Donald Trump think. Because (unlike Mr. Loury's "whatabouts" ... electoral college defund police etc) all Donald Trump's grievances were addressed by the courts (60 no less up to and including The Supremes) and invariably thrown out.
Donald Trump, rotten to the core racist career criminal Putin wannabe Insane Clown that he is, who never for a minute took being president seriously, who knew damn well that his clown act was a tired act, who knew damn well the only way he was going to remain president was to steal it, by various criminal means up to and including (as it turned out) having his goon squad storm the Capitol. To that end his non-stop screaming (before during and after the election) stolen election inside a powderkeg is precisely the equivalent of screaming fire inside a crowded theater.
