No further info in the article as it’s breaking news. NBC broke into the inauguration to announce it.

Biden pardoned his entire family and their spouses as Trump directly threatened all of them.

    An outgoing president needing to pardon his family pre-emptively because the incoming president is threatening them is well along the path to fascism.

    Good job electing Trump you fucking morons. I hope that the consequences of your own actions hurt you more than they hurt the rest of the world.

        Gaza was either not big enough to affect the result, or big enough where your candidate should have acknowledged it. You can’t have it both ways.

          I don’t understand why folks downvote comments pointing this out to be honest. Like bro, the man literally fucking said it out loud what more do you want. He’s quoted as saying a) Elon musk in some way stuffed the electronic ballots in PA and b) he (ie trump) wouldn’t be president if the election had not been rigged what more do you want bro serious question I’m fucking interested

            Honestly, masterful plan by the traitor’s handlers. They made sure that we couldn’t complain about a rigged 2024 election because of the bullshit they spread about the non-rigged 2020 one.

            I guess the Nazis win.

            Because the statement is so stupid there is no way its true. He says Elon knows more about these voting computers than anyone one else and was able to rig it. Obviously that statement is not true Elon knows nothing about voting machines.

            We can pretend to believe Trump just to hold his feet to the fire but he’s so slippery he will slip out and we will be left sitting here looking like idiots for believing the dumb claim.

          We’ll never know now. The party and Biden/Harris were too busy feeling sorry for themselves to look into the voting irregularities that the cyber people were screaming about. Now its Jan21 and they are locked out of every level of government. Maybe they should have gotten off their asses and done something about it. Doing nothing is their pattern.

        Rigged, no, Stolen, also no.

        Results shifted due to successful propaganda from foreign countries and billionaires, yes.

        This is the downside of Democracy, people are pretty dumb overall.

          I don’t understand the enormous resistance to the extremely simple idea that obviously evil people obviously and literally rigged an election by literally adding new fake votes, a method so obvious and literal and with such pedigree and history that it has a name, which is ballot stuffing.

            Ballot stuffing is pretty easy to detect statistically, and there hasn’t been any evidence of it happening and definitely not at the scale required to affect the election results.
