The video was filmed before the election results had even been announced.

      Yes. He has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back and he’s one of the biggest pieces of shit in a generation. He has no redeeming qualities. There are a few documentaries about him, I think Netflix had a good one a couple years ago.

      Fun fact: in the past 30 years of presidential elections Republicans have had more riots than they have popular vote victories!

          Yes, and it appears that had vote counting been allowed unimpeded in Florida, as opposed to undemocratically stopping it for partisan gain, Gore would have won the electoral college and popular vote in 2000.

          There’s really nothing fun about defining land as more important than people.

            Tell me you didn’t read the linked article without telling me you didn’t read the linked article.

            “In each case, if the newly examined votes had been allowed to count in the November election, Mr Gore would have won Florida’s 21 electoral college votes by a narrow majority and he, not Mr Bush, would be the president. Instead, Mr Bush officially carried Florida by 537 votes after recounts were stopped.”

                I’ve been reading it since January 2001.

                If the recounts had been allowed to complete, no matter how you counted the votes, Gore would have won.

                Bush only became President because they stopped counting valid ballots.

        Would you believe me if I told you that at least 3 of the current supreme court members were lawyers arguing on behalf of Bush in that case?

          Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Alito?

          Also, while wikipediaing Alito, I learned that Alito worked under Trump’s sister as an AUSA and she spoke at Alito’s confirmation hearing. Also, Bill Clinton appointed Trump’s sister to the appellate court.

        The republicans have not won the presidency legitimately since HW Bush. I don’t count GW’s second term because the first one was illegitimate.
