I was an election monitor in Afghanistan. Trump's fraud claims follow a corrupt playbook

I think most people have realized this is the case since day 1.

Probably not going to change the minds of Trump Supporters but if one of Trump's own cronies can't find evidence of fraud, then it's pretty clear that the Election was not only free, but also fair with no widespread fraud.

That is bound to make Trump unhappy.

Official results from Tompkins county, New York. Ithaca is the county seat and home to Cornell. Biden outperformed Clinton and Obama here. Obama won it by 40, Clinton by 43 and Biden won it by 49. Biden won every precinct with the exception three of the four comprising the town of Groton.

You like his idea that there should be an all-powerful president? Huh. :meh:

The 2018 memo sets out a breathtaking vision of the president as exercising literally all of the powers of the executive branch, with no constitutional possibility of limiting the exercise of those powers for compelling reasons. Barr writes that the president “alone is the Executive Branch,” possessing literally “all Federal law enforcement power, and hence prosecutorial discretion.” That includes, Barr is perfectly clear, “supervisory authority over [all] cases,” including the right to direct the handling of cases involving himself, his friends, or his enemies.

Can you learn how to drive? You know alot of people stay up late at night watching the sky to make sure you don't accidentally Hindenberg their house considering how your buddy's vacation to New Mexico went.

Also maybe it's time to stop experimenting with people. Not only have you been doing it for decades as if you'll find some new shocking information, but you created the Trump administration. Stop it, get some help.
