Trump calls for a re-do of the 2020 election “immediately!”

[aligncare]

It’s not about Trump, it’s about a stolen election. But, don’t worry, nothing to see here.

Better yet, just close your eyes. The bogeyman can’t hurt you if your eyes are shut. Really.

Yes, most of us acknowledge that an election was stolen, however, there is no do over.  The courts have ruled against their being a stolen election - so there is no remedy other than rioting and insurrection.  That is not going to end favorably.  People are still sitting in jail cells accused of insurrection on J6.

This is one of those times that IMO Trump spoke heatedly. I get he was justified, but IMO, instead he should be planning his next moves if he intends to run again.  IF those on his legal team have told him that there is precedent to 'redo' an election, then he should be silently taking steps to do just that and hit the leftists with all he has.

IF there is any chance of the GOP making any strides in the mid terms and seeking some sort of restitution and righting some wrongs then he needs to continue to back candidates.

I feel with Mitch in the Senate there is little hope of growing a GOP majority, so without the power of a Senate majority as well, little if anything will be done.

I think Trump needs to realize that -- again if his intent was to rally people to riot and make demands, it's not going to end well, unless we are prepared as a country for a complete Revolution which goes beyond a Constitutional Convention, which in my opinion wouldn't be successful anyways because of liberal legislators.

Do you think millions of conservatives are courageous enough and organized enough to rise up @aligncare ??

Well stated, and I agree 100%.  Trump would have came across much better, if he tweeted, This thing was stolen, but that is now water under the bridge.  I now challenge every patriotic American to come to the defense of its constitution, its electoral institutions, and work with me to prevent fraud, even if it means MAGA getting confrontational with the Seditious elements that are stealing our government"

I know the sleazy MSM will view this as a threat of violence.  But IMO, let them think that.

I want a do-over of the 1978 Yankees Red Sox one game playoff, the 1986 World Series, Super Bowl XX, the trade of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, the trade of Bobby Orr to the Blackhawks, and every other heartbreaking moment in Boston sports history.

I'm not holding my breath.

lol...look at re:31.  Oddly I had a 1986 baseball "do-over" wish too.  Lost in the Buckner debacle in the 1986 post season lore was the fact that one umpire (Fred Brocklander) had it in for us in Houston, and stole it for the Mets.  By all right Houston should have won the '86 NLCS in 7 games, and met the Red Sox in the WS.

My other do-over?  Ban trash cans in the dugouts '16-'17.

Trump’s just yanking their chains. He knows he’s not getting a special election. Four years in office his critics still spasm over every pointed remark. But he knows that the point (the 2020 election was dirty) comes across anyway—but with some drama behind it—that’s why he does it.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

If we're doing do-overs I'll take high school and college.

Trump's chain yanking actually is giving the MSM fodder for their false narrative  of Trump electoral subversion.

We need definable action plans and sane leadership going into this crisis, not drama.  This a'int a Reality TV show.

[LMAO]

  But the true believers will give him a pass.

They’ll claim he’s playing 4000 dimensional chess

Exactly.  Baiting the MSM when he doesn't have to is a waste of time.  Time that could be spent planning his run in '24 or planning strategies if he has one for legally holding them accountable.  At best his silence would drive them crazy and they would be scrambling for something to report.

It boggles the mind that after all these years so many still don't get how Trump uses social media  --- and why the State removed his posting "privileges"

[libertybele]

He's running out of options ....

With legal peril rising, Trump turns to QAnon and 4chan memes for support

With the Justice Department investigation of his handling of classified documents pressing forward, former President Donald Trump spent Tuesday morning posting dozens of messages to Truth Social, his financially troubled social media platform, and sharing content from QAnon-linked conspiracy theory accounts and 4chan message boards.

Trump posted or reposted more than 60 messages early Tuesday, hours after he demanded on Truth Social that he be declared “the rightful winner” of the 2020 election, amplifying several memes that portrayed him as a political messiah, attacking President Biden and moderate Republicans and portraying Democrats as greater enemies of the state than Russia.

Trump's Truth Social barred from Google Play

Google says the platform violates its policies on prohibiting content like physical threats and incitement to violence.

The move makes it difficult for users with Android phones to download the app.

Devin Nunes, the CEO of Truth Social, has previously called Google a "monopoly".

Truth Social launched on Apple's App Store in February, though the roll-out was beset by problems.

However, the app isn't available on Google Play, where the vast majority of apps are downloaded on Android phones.

Last week Truth Social's CEO said the decision on whether the app would be available was "up to the Google Play Store".

But Google says it's down to Truth Social to comply with its rules.

A Google spokesperson told the BBC: "On August 19 we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies.

"Having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play," they added.

Google says it has offered Truth Social advice on how to fix the problems. Truth Social did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

Truth Social is often described as a "free speech" platform.

However, for the app to be downloadable on the vast majority of the world's phones it needs to be approved by Apple and Google.

Far from Truth Social being a place of unfettered free speech, the platform in fact has many rules on what you can and cannot say.

In fact, Truth Social has a long list, in its Terms of Service, of things that can and cannot be posted.

The platform was founded by Mr Trump, and is where the former president chooses to post on social media. Mr Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook after last year's US Capitol riot.

Critics argue that Truth Social has a problem with disinformation and hate speech.

A report released on Monday found 47 verified accounts that promoted QAnon conspiracy theories on the platform.

It isn't just that.

It's coulda, shoulda, woulda.....


It provokes the "What IF?" factor and lets people think, if even for a seconds-long flight of fancy, just how different the country would be without the disastrous policies of this administration.

If you aren't on the serious gimmie end of that stick, you are feeling the pain, and the scab just got pulled free.
If you want it to change, you need to vote out the Dems (and the RINOs, too, as much as possible).

   I'm shocked.  It's so uncharacteristic for Trump to be sucking all the air out of the room 60+ days before the Midterms.   /S

Well, no... not really difficult. Truth Social can host the app on their own site, with instructions for installation - All it really takes is flipping one tick to allow installation from sites other than Google Play...

Well, no... First there has to be a discernible difference. Claiming to be better than the democrats is a mighty low bar.

Excellence. Not merely better.

The other end of that is that his drama show is precisely why posts about him take up an easy third of posts on this board... Two years and better out of office.

When, in six years,  has the MSM needed anything from Trump for their false narratives  @catfish1957  --- when they've got the FBI, DOJ and Big Tech?  It would be so refreshing if you'd stop blaming the target.

As for a "definable action plan" and leadership --- that's Trump.  He's laid out an election reform stategy and election victory strategy dozens and dozens of times.  But, when drawn like a fly to shit only to shiny, inflammatory headlines ---- paving the way for whining and angst and misguided virtue-signalling ---- it's easy to miss the substance millions embrace and applaud.

Listening to or reading a speech, especially on policy, is hard----and not for everyone----but it is certainly worth the effort.  Give it a shot.

Very astute observation... @corbe .... and delivered in fine sarcastic form... bonus points.

I ain't making up shit. 'Part of their platform' is different from 'centerpiece of their platform'
Making it 'all about Tumpy' is going to be a loser.
