Actually, since November 4.  Remember, November 3 was a magical night for liberals — those in a few key swing states only woke up on 11/4 morning to find stacks of ballots under the tree, with 98% of them voting for Biden and nothing else.  

Muh fraud.

Just having fun with it, it is fun to watch it play out, and I saw an opportunity to point out that Trump voters went to bed on 11/3 quite happy.

My attitude long ago was to agree with @nobody — Republicans got out-cheated and lost, don’t hate the player hate the game.  Once the game let in the ability to shotgun ballots out to the public with little to no accountability, the game changed and the Republicans didn’t adapt.  Ballot harvesting has always gone on, and now it is possible on a much larger scale.  It is virtually impossible to prove, and audits and recounts just look at the same bad votes and say “no evidence of cheating.”  I’m fine with the lawsuits playing out as we need to weed out as much of the cheating as we can, but Republicans need to focus on maintaining the Senate seats in GA and minimizing the impact of a puppet Biden presidency.   

That being said, I do like the Santa analogy somebody posted here recently from a Newsmax video.

It couldn’t possibly be that a historically unpopular POTUS who barely limped by the worst candidate in history in 2016 lost fair and square.

Must be muh fraud.

Didn't feel it was productive to post here anymore, and some of these replies confirm it.

But I really want to thank you guys for helping me realize there are a lot of people who live in a very different reality than me and the people I know IRL.

You should stop by every once in awhile.

Depends on how you define “fair and square.”  We’ll see if any substantial overt cheating is proven, but I doubt it, since as I pointed out it is very difficult to do so given the new rules of the game.  The “cheating” that for sure happened was a combo of two things.  One, the MSM had a 24/7 assault on Trump and asked Biden tough questions like his favorite ice cream.  This caused the casual politically interested person (which makes up the majority of the populace) to conclude that Trump was satan’s spawn who had accomplished nothing, and that Biden was as pure as newly fallen snow representing the party of mostly peaceful protests. Two, they made it easy for those same people to vote by mailing them ballots.  So those uninformed people didn’t have to go through any effort to vote for the guy who wasn’t evil incarnate.

Ah okay.

There’s cheating if all these frivolous lawsuits ferrets some out.

But if they don’t, still cheating just it’s done really well.

Glad to see you’ve maintained your objectivity, skids!

Nope .... they didn't stop the count being way behind for no reason. 

They cheated. You know it. You really have to put in a lot of effort to look dumb enough not to believe it.

No, the second is independent of the first.  You suck at logic like most liberals.

BLS has graciously paid his bet. 

Hoping for a Christmas miracle and @iam90sbaby does as well. Even though he failed to respond to my PM, I’m gonna assume he’s holding out for a presidential coup, as you guys have assured me conservative posters don’t welch.

Guess I’ll check back Jan 20. Happy holidays.

Should be easy as I understand 90sbaby is some kind of day trading guru? Probably this small amount of dough is barely even worth his accountant’s time and hence the delay

That’s as likely as a major US city abandoning their constituents and allowing a bunch of rioters and looters to take over a section of their city for an extended period.

It’s a good question, as that technically wouldn’t constitute “winning” the election. I’ll have read the exact wording of the original wager.

Anybody seen @iam90sbaby?

After telling me to chill the ##### out and requesting a PM clarifying the bet he lost, he’s been MIA on the bored. You guys have told me repeatedly conservatives aren’t welchers, so surely something must have happened? Maybe he’s busy prepping for the civil war, or antifa got a hold of him?

Anyhoo, happy Inauguration Day! Thank goodness the silent majority voted to restore sanity to the presidency.

Hard to say, but something is fishy, as he definitely posted after the date listed as his last post on his profile. Not sure how one does that.

My guess is he isn’t banned, and just doesn’t want to pay.

The wealthiest people I know are also the cheapest. But it’s also possible he’s FOS regarding his investment income.

What percentage of 81 million Biden voters do you think were involved in “wrecking cities”? Surely not anywhere near 7 million?

I’ve never voted for POTUS, but chose Biden to restore some sanity to the sh!tstorm Trump created. I have two good friends, also lifetime non-voters until this election, who did the same. And my wife, a registered Republican, voted Biden as well. We’re all law-abiding physicians. Not a city wrecker among us, nor the vast majority of my work and social circles, with the overwhelming majority supporting our new president.

I know it’s hard to fathom, but the Geek Club doesn’t represent the political views of most of the country. But rest assured, the dystopian, Kamala Harris led collapse of the country some of you guys are predicting won’t happen. If we survived 4 years of Trump, we can handle anything.
