“No Kings organizers estimated the day’s events have so far drawn millions of people, with some hundreds still under way in all 50 states and to some cities abroad. These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said.”

    Some people who voted for Trump have repented and joined the movement for democracy in America.

    But also, there are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2024 elections and a nontrivial possibility that Trump didn’t win the election.

      Yep. Important to not assume the election was fraudulent. But there is a case filed to interrogate some anomalous results in at least some districts. It’s definitely possible that foul play was involved.

        If it turns out to be fraudulent, I expect he will immediately step down, and everybody ruling, EO, and anything in-between that his administration has made will be immediately made null and void, and the person who actually won will assume office…oh, and then he gets to visit the inside of a prison where he belongs.

        It’s Trump. You know, the adjudicated serial rapist (Inmate #P01135809).

        There was foul play.

          There was objectively foul play, the real question is if it was enough to turn the election.

        I’m not so sure, but sadly our constitution doesn’t have a mechanism to rewind anyway. All we could do is impeach and remove him, and then just keep impeaching and removing successors until we get someone sane.

        Personally, I’m for a constitutional amendment to fix this, but it’ll never happen.

          Ok then show the homework. All I ever see is “the swings were too big.” Trump is a piece of shit unfit for the presidency but he won at the ballot box so here we are

            I’m waiting for the results of the lawsuits. I said “I’m not so sure,” but that doesn’t mean I think the election was stolen, either. It means I’m not certain either way.

            But it doesn’t really matter either way. Say ironclad evidence comes out that he stole the election; we have no means to walk it back.

              Man name your bet - the lawsuits won’t get anywhere and nothing of the remotest interest will come from this. It’s a desperate Hail Mary. There is nothing indicating a fraudulent election. Let’s not be as pathetic as the MAGA crowd with this shit
