Spent the morning listening to the coverage

Some of the most important take always

Worst showing in a mid term in a generation (by the non incumbent party)

Abortion played a much bigger part in the election than people thought beforehand

Young voters showed up in droves for the Democrats

Independent who disapproved of Biden voted for the Democrats by slight margin. In prior cycles they would have voted Democratic by 40%

Election deniers got smoked

Complete idiots like Boebert and Palin strongly rejected
Boebert ain't gone yet

Just saw that

See that statement by Trump if they win its down to him, if they lose its their own fault, what a p***k, so full of himself it's unreal. On another note don't know much about his politics outside the fact Trump got Walker to play in the breakaway football league years ago, but what a player Herscel Walker was.

The USFL? Wasn't it doing fine until Trump stepped in and messed it up with his "business genius?"

Yep, seems that way. Quoth Wiki:

On the field, the USFL was regarded as a relatively good product. Many coaches and team executives had NFL experience, and many future top NFL players and coaches got their start in the new league, including several who were later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and/or the College Football Hall of Fame. The Michigan Panthers won the first USFL championship in 1983. The Philadelphia Stars won the second USFL championship in 1984, and after relocating to Baltimore, won the final USFL championship in 1985 as the Baltimore Stars in what was effectively a rematch of the first USFL title game.

In August 1984, the USFL voted to move from a spring to a fall schedule in 1986 to compete directly with the NFL. This was done at the urging of New Jersey Generals majority owner Donald Trump and a handful of other owners as a way to force a merger between the leagues. As part of this strategy, the USFL filed an antitrust lawsuit against the National Football League in 1986, and a jury ruled that the NFL had violated anti-monopoly laws. However, in a victory in name only, the USFL was awarded a judgment of just $1, which under antitrust laws, was tripled to $3.[2] This court decision effectively ended the USFL's existence. The league never played its planned 1986 season, and by the time it folded, it had lost over US$163 million (over $389 million in 2021 dollars).

No it's not.

Election denialism is based on bullshit and fantasy, and is rooted in one man's fragile ego.

Concern with and alarm about Trump is based on a track record of the actual damage the man has done, election denialism being only one issue.

The results were very important

Facing divided, radicalised and unconvincing political opponents, the Trump-Johnson strategy could yet triumph. That strategy, it should now be clear, involves contempt for the rule of law, the trashing of national institutions, fostering an atmosphere of violence and deliberately widening bitter divisions within the country.

@realDonaldTrump

Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn't it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?
