Because I was pointing out this [BLEEP] isn't exclusive or one sided. It's inevitable in a broken system that doesn't have good checks and balances. It's not exclusive to Republicans. It's not unique to Trump. This was always going to escalate. Congrats. Trump whined longer than Gore. BFD. He still stepped down peacefully. I don't believe he believes he lost fair and square, and he probably didn't. If you don't want to believe that, you don't have to. You can think he's a whiner. I felt the same about Al Gore. Hillary's campaign manufactured a lie, FBI agents used that lie to open an investigation they used to intentionally try to derail Trump's campaign, and the Democratic congress wasted millions of dollars of taxpayer money on an investigation that was built on a lie Hillary knew was false. All why she talked openly about the role Russia played in losing her the election.

The bolded is yet another disingenuous assertion that makes it impossible to take you seriously.
He is literally being prosecuted for breaking multiple federal laws in an attempt to NOT step down. 

And, I know we are more lax with warnings in the pol forum, but abbreviating the F bomb is going to draw warnings on my watch, so use caution please. Just a friendly reminder for now. Nothing to do with our little debates 

That one is a slippery slope and I do not want any forum or thread here to turn into a litany of f this and f that form any users who disagree about anything. I've seen it elsewhere. It escalates hostility and I'm merely trying to prevent that from happening here.

Yeah. Calling [BLEEP]. Was he forced out of the Whitehouse? Did he try to leverage the power of the military to stay in power? If he's calling for peaceful protests, that doesn't move the needle on authoritarian power grabs, no matter how much you want to believe it. He believed there was fraud. I believe their was fraud. Can he prove it? He certainly wasn't able to. Can I prove it, not in a manner that would overturn anything. The system needs to change, and I have no qualms with anything he said. Nor do I have any problem with the majority of people who entered the Capitol building after being let in. I am happy to see people like Ray Epps go to prison, but you and Mikey, for some strange reason, don't care. You care about what you're told to care about. Good job, free thinker.
