Is this a general rule — resistance to acknowledging the winner of an election ought to affect a person's job prospects? Or is this just for those who want to wait for the Biden-vs-Trump process to play out?

I fully expect and [dare I say] demand that I now get to riot, burn, and pillage for the next four years and NOT get arrested! THems is the new rules, right? That is what has happened these last 4 years.

Already ordered my new "She is not my President" t-shirts, my "I voted for POTUS and all I got was my hair sniffed" towels, and my "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for those idiots." beach umbrella.

Get yours while supplies last!

lgv said...

Welcome to the new normal. The election was about more than Biden vs. Trump. Now, the machine that was so blatant can entrench itself to ensure control of all information for future elections and vote counting.

I expect open borders, green new deal, the compete transformation of all top tier government jobs to be filled by democrats only, and even looser voting regulation. We will see a greater lack of transparency in censorship through Twitter, FB, and Google search. Monopolies are good if they support the ruling party.

Universities and the MSM will be given tacit approval to discriminate at will. I thought we would get 4 more years of free speech, but it's gone. All the woke Social Justice Warriors with there closet full of participation trophies and safe spaces are now in charge.

Maybe their children will rebel.

stevew said...

What a sanctimonious shit Tapper is, as are all those POS calling for Trump to concede; whining about what's best for the nation; calling for a time to begin the healing.

They've all been calling Trump and his supporters racists, misogynists, climate change deniers, white supremacists, and so forth. They've even called for the creation of lists of people for sanction and re-education.

Tapper and the rest can FOAD.

No, that is empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand how someone feels.

Sympathy has connotations of agreeing with them and being willing to help them.

I would understand it would suck to die in a fire.

I would not feel bad if Tapper was dying in a fire.

Trump was impeached for asking about Biden's real crimes.

Jupiter said...

It's an interesting commentary on how the Jake sees the World. In my world, people pay me because there are things I can do that most people can't, and my employers want those things done. In Jake's world, Jake does something anyone could do. His employers selected him on the basis of his political malleability, and would discard him if he displayed any hint of a spine. I daresay Jake is paid a lot more than I am. But that won't help him in a street interview.

What about scheming to game the electoral college in 16? Why didn't tapper et al just say "oh well. Trump won. Let's just accept it" on November 4th.

As someone mentioned in another comment thread, Stacey Abrams has still not conceded, has she?

Fuck you, Jake tapper. War. Ugly, pretty, I don't give a shit. A win is a win. By any Legal means necessary.

pdjt will win this. He saw what happened in 16 and has been preparing for 4years. When he gets elected next month, the bidenistas will go nuts. So what? They've been going nuts for 4 years now and look what pdjt has gotten done so far.

The best is yet to come.

Lurker21 said...


Bizarre comment. It sounds like he's talking about admission to some club, not getting a job. Clubs want people who don't make waves. Firms want people who will fight like hell to achieve the company's goals.

One could call this the elite view of the peons: we will accept you (sort of) if you accept us as your rulers (unconditionally). But it could make for some interesting job interviews if the interviewer started with "How good are you at accepting defeat?"

Matt said...

Isn't it more character-building to struggle through adversity rather than quitting? Isn't every single movie, book, story, whatever about overcoming whatever obstacles are thrown at you?

As for the nation, is it better to allow possible cheating to go unpunished in order to not upset people? Or is it better to identify the cheating and eliminate the transgressors to ensure better elections in the future?

What's the downside to taking this to the Supreme Court and having Trump declared winner? What - are Democrats gonna burn down their Democrat cities? Big f'ng deal. Who cares?

This is a big fat fail by Jake.

If someone needs to die then just kill them.

And if the screaming was particularly loud and annoying that would also be an issue.

So I would definitely consider helping to make the screaming end.

OSU '92 said...

Let’s finish counting the votes and seeing if there are election integrity questions.

The media already declared the winner so why does he care if the courts review any irregularities? The media has spoken, time to move on losers. Uh no. 24% of the country thinks news media is credible, think I am going to wait until something more credible than a used car salesman makes a pronouncement on this matter.

I guess that makes me unreasonable

Well, as I recall, in 2016 Team Hillary went from Trump must accept the verdict to RESIST!!! in about 2 nanoseconds. And Al Gore strung us out for 37 days after he initially conceded, so there is that. Jake the Jerk is just not that into recent history, I guess.

Further, Jake is certainly affecting his future employability as far as I am concerned.

But there is a larger point. To quote Mollie Hemingway on the corporate media, "They lie, they lie, they lie, and then they lie."

John henry said...

For one example, they have voter rolls for most states. They are public info.

They also have all postal change of address orders. Easy peasy to see who doesn't live where they voted. Anyone can buy these.

They have birth/death records. Again, simple to match these against voter rolls.

Lots and lots of other info available for free or for hire to track people registered in more than one place.

Have faith. Pdjt's got this.

If they were confident what would you expect from them? Would they be censoring contrary information? Would they be demanding concession? Would they be threatening people's jobs?

If Trump thought he was losing what would you expect from him? I would expect speeches and bluster.

He is not doing that. He is quiet and he is asking church goers to pray for them at court.

There are a million or so votes in Pennsylvania that are going to get tossed. Alito ordered them to be separated and they were not separated. The entire election there is likely to be invalidated and it is likely to go to their legislature just to start.

The Left are even worse winners than they were losers, if that is even possible. This is not the first mention of an enemies list of those who don't accept the election results (Even though not all of the states have even been called by the MSM yet!) that I have already seen. The most infuriating thing is that the people doing this are the same people who haven't accepted the results of the 2016 election yet.

It appears that the next four years are going to be pretty horrific for half of us, since the Left seems to be signaling that they plan on four years of revenge for Trump.

The media is so taken back by how much they are disliked in so much of the country and they think they are now back in the drivers seat and are ready to play payback now. Or at least they are in their minds. But payback only works if the other party gives a crap about anything you say or do. Do they actually think that anyone is going to take them, or their threats seriously? Yesterday CNN reporters were considered not very bright on their best day, and lower than whale shit overall. Then CNN calls the election for Biden and today we're suddenly going to show them respect and pretend they have dignity and opinions we want to hear?

Not a chance, Jake. Nothing has changed, Jake. You're still lower than whale shit and we're not letting up.

They're going to be panicking soon. The evidence piling up - sworn affadavits, video leaks, counting irregularities, statistical improbabilities (if not outright impossibilities), and ballot-access denial issues - will soon be too big for even CNN and MSNBC to ignore.

I remain confident that these issues will be pursued. I remain confident that this pursuit will lead to the truth about the election. I remain confident that the true and legal votes, when counted, will give a decisive victory to President Trump.

To some that may sound crazy. To those people, my only reply is, "That's 2020 for ya."

Yes, I've had the same thought. There was a time when I thought of Jake Tapper as one of the better journalists.

When did things change? When did he lose all good judgment?

And it occurs to me, well either people are spontaneously going crazy, or he is being blackmailed. It's kind of easy to blackmail people right now. Men like sex and as we all know that is illegal now -- unless you're on the left -- and even then it is getting kind of dangerous for men on the left.

And there are a lot of other things people can be blackmailed for and there is just so much information that is being gathered on individuals.

And there is a long list of entities that could be doing the blackmailing. Maybe it's Google. Maybe it's China. Maybe it's the deep state in the form of the FBI and the CIA and other agencies whose initials aren't so well known.

I don't think we know who are our rulers are any more. I think they are hidden.

This was their last stand, their last desperate act of #resistance. And they fucked it up.

Chennaul said...

We just had an election during a pandemic, that had a longer voting time, and more varied ways of voting with more rule changes and the largest voter turn out in history.

All of these factors complicate the process. You do not simply extrapolate how elections went in the past and overlay it onto this historically unique and complex election process.

COVID expanded the voting time, it should be quite obvious that it would also expand the time needed to ascertain the result.

The huge size of the vote also amplifies the possible margin of error, so taking past results and what was needed to correct an error is a mistake. An error in this election given the significant increase in turn out would be different from all past elections and perhaps correspondingly larger.

Also the expanse of mail in ballots fluttering outside of controlled spaces and passing though many points, and many hands— inviting more tampering all along the way is going to be a unique problem with this election and if voters were given a unique and more special way of voting —that took about three weeks— the reciprocal wait time to insure this method of voting should— understandably— be in relation and proportion to that. If you were given a longer time to vote and easier time to vote you should understand candidates needing a longer time and more means to test the result. The privilege should pass to both sides of the election process equation.

Whether it changes the election or not, a lot of fraud is coming out. The Dems got spanked down ballot, which is where election rules are set. At a minimum there should be hi-res cameras on canvassers’ desks and the feed should be saved. That way issues of denying access to poll watchers can be minimized. That had cameras in Philly, but they showed almost nothing.

This is exactly right.

And the deck is stacked for Trump because the very first ruling from the Supreme Court will be to find the Pennsylvania Democrats in contempt for denying a direct order from the court.

Once it becomes clear just how far they went to steal this election the movement for paper ballots and purple thumbs will be unstoppable.

And with secure fair elections democrats will not win a national election for generations.

"And there are a lot of other things people can be blackmailed for and there is just so much information that is being gathered on individuals."

I was the target of an online blackmail scheme once. A girl claiming to be from France sent me nudes over Facebook Messenger and requested the same. She said she was bored and wanted to do some internet roleplay. I was on a business trip, it was late, she was smokin' hot with a "legit" looking profile, and I'd had a few drinks earlier, so I (stupidly) agreed. Sent her a dick pic, and got no reply. About 15 minutes later, she sent me a message saying she'd harvested my Friends list and would send that pic to everyone on it if I didn't wire money to an offshore account. She demanded other pics in addition to the money, presumably for future blackmail use.

I laughed. My reply was, let me know what my friends say after they see it. I've got no shame about stuff like that - it's a pic of my junk, nothing more, and only the bottom half of my face was even visible. I've got a large package, and don't really care who knows it. She came back at me and said something to the effect of "are you sure you want this sent to your family, because they're on the list too". My response: "Make my day, none of them will care and we'll all have a good laugh about it later."

And that was the end of that. No further replies, and as far as I know, the picture never got sent. Or at least, nobody ever said anything about it.

This guy was not so lucky - based on the timeframe of his resignation, and when the above incident happened to me, I think we got hit by the same person (or team). Luckily, I'm not a public figure, so I had nothing to fear.

Tapper is not alone. Robert Reich was calling for a "Truth and Reconciliation" tribunal before the election, and Jennifer Rubin and that HellSow from Buttigieg's staff were talking about compiling a list. I'm guessing the memo has gone out. In China, if you get on the wrong side of the regime, you can find yourself making involuntary organ donations. Google helps them monitor people's attitudes. I'm sure they would like to deploy that software here, if they haven't already.

Honestly, this is all I want. I truly believe that Trump has the honest votes to win, but I could be wrong. But if this fight yields serious efforts to guarantee secure and honest elections going forward, I'd consider that a victory even if it turns out that Biden would've won sans fraud.

There's just too much shady shit happening for me to trust the results. I don't have a Twitter account but I follow certain folks, Left and Right, all the same. Many on the Left are getting nervous. Their anger is a huge tell.

Who wants to have 100% confidence in our elections? Yeah, me too.

Trump has already revealed a corrupt deep state and a corrupt media beyond anything I could personally imagine. I was so naive.

Maybe his greatest legacy will be exposing election integrity issues and spawning voting transparency. I can't imagine a single American opposing it.

Of course if the Democrats steal the two Georgia Senate seats then all bets are off.

stevew said...

Democrats who believe nothing untoward happened in the election that, so far, favors Joe Biden for POTUS should be quite content to have Trump challenge the counts and result. If, as they expect, nothing bad is found and the count holds up then Biden's election will be viewed as credible and legitimate by many or most voters.

It cannot be said that Democrats calling for Trump to drop the legal challenges and concede believe or know there were shenanigans and the election was stolen. But I can say that with such a tight margin between the two candidates Democrats must be fearful that there are enough illegitimate votes cast for Biden that the candidate's positions could be reversed.

" if POTUS acts strange with the launch codes.”

If Biden comes out on top, remember that he introduced his long dead and buried son at a rally just last week.

“This button is for the nurse, and this button orders the boomers to launch, got it?”

robother said...

So, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Rosenstein and Strzok are all out of work for resisting a legitimately elected President, Jake? And Mark Elias, who arranged the whole Steele Dossier to steal the election and then deny a duly elected President the right to serve, is scrounging for legal work, lucky to get a hourly rate criminal representation in DC courts. Right.

I think the plan is to prevent any Trump supporter from getting another job. Locking up is just the backup plan for the real deplorables.

I'd be more worried about the land-based ICBMs. At least our boomers have a 2-man rule onboard. I know the land-based launchers also have safeguards, but I'm not entirely convinced there's not a bypass to that for NCA to use as a last resort.

Knowing what I do about Tapper, I wouldn't hire him for anything requiring trust. He's not good at his chosen profession and he's a known liar. I sure as hell wouldn't work for the corrupt company he sucks up to for a check.

In regard to Tapper the Democrat shill, he can FOAD.
Anyone familiar with AS' The Gulag Archipelago would know that the Russians were successful with sending people off to die or exist in the worse conditions ever because NO ONE rebelled in the beginning of it. They were true party members, loved Stalin and could not imagine why they were carted off in the middle of the night along with many, many more. They expected that it was "some sort of mistake" and they could clear it up if only the Party chairman would listen. Millions never came back.

I hope my fellow Americans won't be like that. That's why we are "Murica! Americans. The first person that puts me on a "List" will disappear completely, unable to add to that List.

I have NO patience for these fuckers who have labeled us bigots, racists, misogynists, homophobe and Russian sympathizers. The gloves are off and they will remain off until the day I die.

@Althouse, I don't know what's more touching, Jake Tapper's tender advice to young Trump staffers who may need to seek new jobs if the massive, ham-fisted, in-your-face fraud is allowed to stand, or the solicitousness of Axios, backed by gadfly and Howard the educated fool towards the GOP senators in the Georgia runoffs. It fairly sets my heart to fluttering.

Todd Roberson said...

I think it would be a good idea for everyone here to pump the brakes a little on all the "America is over" rhetoric. Suppose the Democrats get the Senate (admittedly a worst-case and unlikely scenario). They are not - to mention one hyperbolic claim - "coming to get your guns". Etc. Etc. Etc.

Not that they don't want to but they simply lack the competence to carry out any of the apocalyptic shit everyone here is fretting about.

These stumblebums can't get anything accomplished. Biden has been in congress for 47 years and has accomplished nothing. Harris - in the most liberal state in America - essentially accomplished nothing other than putting a bunch of Black guys in jail for pot. As far as I know people in California still can own guns.

These incompetent boobs can't even put together a budget with printable money. Last time the Democrats controlled Congress it took them nearly 2 years to put together the wet fart called ACA - their "big fucking deal" - which was largely ignored by the marketplace. That's all they achieved. Then they lost it all after 2 years.

Win or lose - whatever they say - the Democrats are well aware that their "mandate" is razor thin. Several of them are already commenting on the 2022 House elections and shitting their pants about the likely outcome.

My prediction: There will be a lot of preachy talk about a bunch of liberal wish-list shit that never gets done. It never does. Even Democrats aren't that stupid.

Michael K said...

OK but I am not as confident as you are about Georgia.

Todd Roberson said...

Dr K -

Understood.

But let's say for the sake of argument both Senate seats in GA get stolen.

That leaves the Dems with a 50-50 Senate and a house in which - for 2 years - they have a razor thin majority.

Even in that worst-case scenario can you honestly see the idiots in the Congress being competent enough to carry out any kind of a strategic "agenda" without getting sidetracked by some "crisis" or other?

It seems the infighting has already begun.

Todd Roberson said...

There just seems to be a lot of assumption here that the Democrats are "diabolical geniuses".

Diabolical...yes.

Michael K said...

A lot depends on how much influence the crazy left has.

The people running Biden are the rich, Silicon Vally rich and NY City traders rich. Maybe a few movie people but the billionaires bought this. They will do what they want. For example, the SALT tax deduction limit will go quickly. Illegals will form more "caravans" and the Border Patrol will be emasculated. The super rich hav more houses than Bernie or Biden. They spend summers in Tuscany, winters in Ibiza. They don't care about BLM burning down cities.

I doubt the Green Nude Eel is going anywhere. That was sucker bait for the Bernie bros. How much dos a G V burn on the way to Tuscany?

Think about the filthy rich's agenda and that will mostly be it. A few riots and lootings to keep the shock troops entertained.

Todd Roberson said...

Idiots can be dangerous for short periods of time. Then things kinda catch up to them pretty quickly.

Todd Roberson said...

The big money people behind Biden, et. al were primarily concerned with getting rid of Trump in my humble opinion. He disrupted the status quo.

Now that he's likely gone, they - in my opinion- have no further use for the extreme left, the woke, etc. They disrupt the status quo also.

I expect that element to be marginalized; it's already started.
