This is drawing a false equivalency of completely unrelated events. Hillary Clinton conceded defeat the day after the 2016 election. She gave a gracious concession speech in the process of admitting her defeat. She never once blamed her defeat on voter fraud, or cast aspersions on the United States system of elections. President Barack Obama immediately invited President-elect Donald Trump to the White House and offered to assist in the transition of power. There was even a photo op between the two men, which you normally see after elections... which we even saw in December of 2000... but we won't see this year.Do you thiunk Dems did the same with all the Russian collusion?
Read some. I’ve been very clear I don’t think they will win. But they’ve got some play in mind and I haven’t figured it out. My best guess right now is it’s just tit for tat to get the right to play by the same rules of the last four years.
Ok. I don’t agree. But I’ll save the meme for now.Whether it’s serious or not, desperate states bringing a lawsuit that doesn’t only try to invalidate illegal votes, but every single vote in 4 other states, is a dangerous precedent. I’m also not sure what it actually accomplishes other than appeasing an irrational voting base loyal to one man.

There were investigations into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. These investigations concluded that Russia was responsible for hacking the DNC. A separate investigation uncovered the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower among 2016 Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. with several Russian officials including Natalia Veselnitskaya. Both Trump and Trump Jr. told lies about who was in attendance at this meeting and what was discussed. I have felt that these investigations were righteous and necessary. Ultimately, conclusions were reached that there was no provable collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia... and that's fine. It's also widely accepted that Russia's interference played no role in the outcome of the election... and that's fine too. Those investigations were still necessary.
