Will he claim that those five million votes were Californians illegally voting. x “I concede NOTHING!” is not a normal thing for a president to write. But his refusal to concede is meaningless.

Trump Said No One Will Talk About COVID After the Election, But He Is, And He's Lying (of Course)

There are numerous reasons why Donald Trump just lost the presidential election.

The attendees of the hysterically misnamed not nearly…

Ivanka and Jared's kids pulled from private school because their parents can't follow COVID rules

Over the past several months the Trump family has consistently behaved as if COVID-19 has them all on retainer.

Whitmer orders shut down of oil pipeline that threatens the fresh water of the Great Lakes.

“Most importantly, Enbridge has imposed on the people of Michigan an unacceptable risk of a catastrophic oil spill in the Great Lakes that could devastate our economy and way of life.

The Hysterical MADNESS of Deposed King Trump's 'Rigged Election' Whining

What is Going On?

Time after time, succeeding presidents have followed less than stellar Republican administrations feeling obligated to bestow forgiveness. Richard Nixon masterminded a crime, known to every police drama watcher as B&E, breaking and entering. Nixon was disgracefully relegated to the dustbin of history, but that dustbin was a mansion off the coast of California. Although Ronald…
