    Ok, Trump is a piece of shit and I’m not one to jump on the “uh, it was totally a joke!” train. That said…

    He said he wouldn’t be president in 2026 or 2028 in a conversation that occurred in his 2017-2021 term. His “then they rigged the election” comment is ambiguous, sure, but I think there’s a very reasonable argument that he’s saying “then the Democrats [or whoever] rigged the 2020 election so my second term is delayed 4 years”

    There is PLENTY wrong with what he said there, but I really don’t think “I won by rigging the 2024 election” hits the mark this time. We lost. It fucking sucks, but for the love of God don’t let us stoop to the “stolen election” level without even a half-baked bit of evidence.

      I can’t say with certainty they rigged it but I do wish there was more investigation done considering how involved Elongated Muskrat was with the voting tech
