    He can't support Trump's rhetoric.

    Biden was the one on election eve calling for calm and a full count of all the votes. Trump wanted the states called for him with 70% of the vote counted.

    Trump is now saying - as he always has - that there is definitive massive fraud and widespread illegality. He's not calmly calling for a recount & standard investigation into irregularities.

    "Why doesn't Joe get behind it?" Please.

    Calling an election is not reporting.

    There was nothing to contest in 2016 besides the Russian idiocy. And let’s not forget the FL debacle in 2000 that dragged on to December.
    Florida was about one State and less than a thousand votes total, this is a combination of States with thousands of votes, apples and oranges

    You REALLY think that you went out of your way to post on here - after the media called that HILLARY CLINTON lost - and appealed for patience and to not listen to the media on it?

    Really????

    He doesn’t want to support his rhetoric lol?

    What about the tens of millions of voters who are suspicious about Biden’s ‘wee hours of morning comeback’? Are they chopped liver?

    I thought Biden wanted to unify the country? What’s he got to lose? He’s a slam dunk winner, right?

    It isn't "out of my way", I own the site. And yeah, I point it out to folks every election. I think calling elections before polls are closed elsewhere is at least in some instances an attempt to control the outcome in other areas that have not been called. That often folks are doing it to create a feeling of inevitability to either suppress or support votes for one side.

    I tend to talk about it, because it is something I think about every election year and I own a platform where folks talk about politics. I think your false "incredulity" is silly. If you think I don't then think that. I'm good with it either way. I am making the point now, because I do think that it causes problems.

    What are the odds Biden will lose all three? What are you wiling to bet Trump wins all three?
    I say do whatever needs to be done and then we can all move on. I think it will be funny if they continue to cry over the results after telling Hillary devotees to “get over it”.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Well, their advice is to do what they didn't. Just "get over it", even though they never did. They actually expect it. It's like they fully understand that the adults in the "room" should get over it even when others do not.

    I got over it. I was sad for a couple of days, and then the reality of just how bad it was going to be settled in as the Trump started Tweeting, and it got worse from there. His ignorance was an embarrassment, but there was no forgetting that he was the president. Now I can hardly wait for him to not be the president.

    It was actually pretty easy to find. You were calling it here before midnight on election eve (thread bumped).
