The Show is Over, The Case is Closed and That's All, Folks!

Trump lost and it was a legitimate election.  There was no voter fraud.

So you still believe the election was stolen from Trump?  Prove it.  All the states certified their votes just like they always do.  Several of the ones challenged by Trump's legal team went through the whole process of auditing machines, doing recounts and getting affidavits and testimony from the poll watchers, more than double the usual number this time around because Trump had been floating the idea that if he lost it would be because of fraud during most of his first term.  

So wrap your mind around this idea, if you have a mind and you can do it.  

There was no voter fraud and Trump lost.  

Maybe you need to sit down with a piece of notebook paper and a pen, like you did in junior high, and write "There was no voter fraud" a hundred times, followed by "Donald Trump lost" a hundred times.  

Sidney Powell, one of the attorneys Trump hired to bring the fruitless, baseless lawsuits filed in over sixty different courts has admitted that "no reasonable person could take [Trump's] claims of voter fraud seriously."  That's her defense against potential lawsuits stirred up by the phony claims she and Giuliani trotted around the six states where they originally tried to make the charges stick.  Apparently, she was right.  Over sixty very reasonable judges, including some on the federal bench that Trump himself appointed, agreed with her more recent assessment, that no "reasonable" person could believe Trump's lies, that there was no evidence of voter fraud and that the election results, as certified, are accurate.  

The multiple recounts, audits, checks on voting machines, and vote-counting machines have since backed up the courts' rejection of every single lawsuit that was filed by Trump's attorneys.  There were a few changes in vote tallies here and there, but in tens of votes, not anywhere close to the thousands that would have been necessary to overturn the election results, if that were even possible.  Trump himself admitted to the lies when he openly asked the Georgia Secretary of State to "find" twelve thousand votes somewhere.  No reasonable person could misunderstand exactly what he meant. ;-)

Even hiring a Trump-supporting consulting firm to recount ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona, behind closed doors, no one allowed in, sharpies and black pens in hand, has not produced a shred of evidence of any kind of voter fraud on anywhere near the scale it would take to change the results.  The results of the recount leaking out have produced, well, nothing except solid verification that the count was accurate.  No reasonable person who knows the circumstances would believe otherwise anyway.  But so far, all they've come up with is some muttering about absentee ballots not having a fold in them.  Keep in mind, those ballots were run through the machines at least six different times after the initial count was made.  Also keep in mind that Arizona allowed voters to return their absentee ballots to their precinct voting location on election day, which would mean that they didn't have to be folded.  

But it's gullible people that are the target of this dead ballot recount, not the reasonable people to whom Powell is referring. 

Reasonable people, a description that characterizes a majority of Americans, are expecting Trump to be charged and tried for the crimes he committed which are listed in the Mueller Report (yes, he still can be) his first and second impeachment and related to the insurrection he clearly incited on January 6.  Reasonable people are planning to turn out in massive numbers in November of 2022 to help Congress raise its intelligence level by ridding it of more Trump enablers and conspiracy theorists.  America is moving forward, as it should be, without him, as it should be.  

Facts are facts.  End of story.
