The car accident that didn’t happen

Suppose I came to you and said, “You just hit my car. The repairs will cost $3,000. Pay me.”

You’re bewildered. You didn’t hit my car. You look at my car, and don’t see any dents, dings, or scratches. There’s nothing wrong with it. But then you notice my glazed eyes, suspect something’s wrong with me, and wonder what I’m on.

Still, you play the game. “Show me the damage.” I insist my car was damaged and has been repaired. “Show me the receipts.” I don’t have any. “What repair shop did you take it to?” I give a vague answer, and threaten to sue if you don’t pay up.

At this point, you’re ready to walk away. If I do, so what? Court is where the rubber meets the road. Without proof of an accident, damages, and fault, your claim will be thrown out.

You probably now see where I’m going with this piece. Republicans claim the 2020 election was “stolen” from them, but their claims have been rejected by more than 90 courts for lack of evidence. There’s no evidence an accident even occurred. The elections held in all 50 states, by all appearances, have no dents, dings, or scratches. The claim is fraudulent.

Now let’s say I pull a gun and demand you pay me $3,000 now. What does that make me? An armed robber, of course.

Isn’t that what the events of January 6, 2021, make Donald Trump and the Republican Party?

    Of course the conspiracy bellowers of voter fraud have not shown any evidence.

    Evidence doesn’t matter to trump’s conspiracy believers. trump followers’ theories are more important than truth, even without proof. Such an easy group to mislead, such an easy group to lie to.

    If there was voter fraud, the republican party would have produced the evidence on or right after November 6. How easy to say…this or that happened but without evidence you don’t have a court case. This was two-fold. Getting his followers to contribute to a fund raiser for him and second to incite his followers to his last and greatest hope to use the voter fraud fabrication to galvanize his supporters to overthrow our government and install him as their forever leader. trumps’ galvanizing his supporters and inciting them towards insurrection was his biggest and most evil attempt to thwart democracy and overturn our great country.

    I hope there are enough true Americans and true patriots that won’t allow this bunch of trumper followers to destroy what should be a celebration for America on January 20.

    God bless America and true Americans who voted to overturn trump.

    Only for the most part most of the suits never got far enough for any evidence to be found, for something called discovery to take place. In most of these cases Judges not wanting to be dragged into politics and having to take sides in a case for against one of the political branches of the government The courts failed in one essential area so grievances can be heard.

    It could be you are Bugs Bunny during duck season and are hanging out with Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck. In any case the duck gets it.

    As it is Donald Trump nor any member of the Republican party have pointed a gun at you and demanded $3000 dollars. Nor have they done that to the nation. They do have some legitimate grievances. Governors and courts are not supposed to be able to make law concerning elections. Yet that clearly happened in these past Presidential elections. Once again quirky events surround Philly an area where there is dirty and corrupt politics. State that all the political folks in Philly are angels and you will be laughed at. If you have photographs of boxes being moved from under tables that poll workers remove bundles of ballots from there you might be seeing election fraud. If a poll worker puts a set of ballots that are all for Biden through the counting machine a second time there might be some corruption going on. Anyone who understands how corruption is done in politics looks at the folks in the various clerks offices. Some offices certainly lean Republican as some lean Democrat, and some are known to be dirty, but proving it is hard to do. Political machines do arise and last for decades. Apparently the Daley machine in Chicago has yet to gasp its last breath. There is of course some level of voters actually doing some form of voter fraud. Someone voting who should not, or votes twice or in two places. Often it is a mistake. The dead do vote. And probably even in a small county there are a few ballots where some kind of voter fraud is going on. It is probably an average of five even in small counties. Generally not enough to make a difference in normal elections, just close ones, and some of the cheating cancels each other out. Yet most counties prosecutor is not going to put much effort into identifying the crime or to go after it beyond low hanging fruit, or shamed into actually investigating voting or election fraud and if it is by someone in their party and local do they not act out of self interest?

    Mark, you’re the guy claiming governors, judges, and election officials dented your car. They didn’t. This election wasn’t stolen. There was no fraud, just a trainload of sour grapes from people like you. Work harder at being a good citizen; you’re lousy at it. Slandering election workers because you’re sore over losing an election doesn’t cut it in respectable society.
