We've listened to this since 2015 when Trump thought he might lose. Can we stop now?
Election officials go to great length to protect our voting process. Unless you can find some incidence of massive fraud, let it die.
60 lawsuits didn't help. The minuscule efforts at fraud mostly seem to be R's.

How is it that Harris received 71 million votes in an “Existential Crisis” election- fully 10 million LESS than Joe Biden “allegedly” received?
Meanwhile Trump received almost exactly the same amount as 2020, and will win the Popular Vote?
I’ll let you figure out what that might mean.

Former Ohio GOP Chairperson Jane Timken, from Canton, would be a great choice.
Frank LaRose would also be one- and a close associate of DeWine.

It means Dems didn't turn out like they did the first time. Sad.
But...I guess you're proud you elected this person:

- bankrupted casinos
- ran a sham university for which he paid back millions
- ran a sham charity which he had to reimburse people for, shut it down, and is prevented from running another
- cheated on his pregnant wife, but supposedly carries the banner of "Christian nationalism"
- dishonors our military by calling them suckers/losers and wonders why anyone would join
- claimed bone spurs to avoid the draft
- is rated unfit for office by dozens who actually worked for him, many inside the white house and secretaries of government branches
- incited an insurrection against the government for which hundreds are now in jail
- was impeached twice
- is an adjudicated sexual abuser
- brags about his mistreatment of women, yet is supported by supposed Christians
- retained government secrets and instructed lawyers and others to help do so
- is awaiting trial on 2 federal and one state indictment
- is a convicted felon

I'm embarrassed for our country. We could have done better.

WOW . Democrats didn’t turn out when the opposition was Hitler???
And Democrats had a chance to elect the “First Woman & Woman of Color” President?
Yet, they “all” turned out for a 78 year old WHITE MAN?
Your ilk talks about “inclusion” yet “turns out” for a rich WHITE MAN and not for a POC in an “End of Democracy” election????
You should be embarrassed for your ilk, supposedly “showing up” with 81 million “votes” in 2020 and 71 million votes in 2024.
But think a little harder. You’ll eventually figure it out.

Trump actually let Elon name a government department DOGE. That's happening.

At least my 17 year-old will get a chuckle.

I have the exact same dilemma. I am thinking about changing cologne.

Matt Gaetz for AG

I think Mike Lindell would be a better fit.

When your own party’s Ethics Committee is going to issue you subpoenas as they investigate you for sex with underage girls, it makes perfect sense that a convicted felon who is also a sexual assaulter names you for AG.
Only the best people.
