Its definitely always possible there has been some ******* with vote count. Either by software or manual count. Russia, Elon and god knows who else is involved....Im not straight up saying it was stolen, but its a possibility

You’re ignoring the real issues

 

[biggie62]

What are your plans for your $$ and investments, given what you know about what's going to happen when Trump takes office

I’m not a money manager so I’m not the right person to ask this. Generally speaking the question is will our money grow in 10 years? The answer generally is yes so I just buy more VFIAX

 

[whoisthisguy]

Wouldn’t go tinfoil hat either but three things that don’t add up.

1. Trump saying “I don’t need your votes.”
2. Joe Rogan sayin to Theo Von that Elon had this app he was using to call the election.
3. Nikolai (SP, Aide for Putin) saying Trump relied on certain forces.

Things that make me raise my eyebrows. I just leave it at that and don’t entertain anything else after that.

I need all my pro-Rudy Gobert post scrubbed asap

Y'all can't be serious.

Sad man. The best part is Democrats made fun of Republicans for saying the last election was rigged and well…here we are

Thing is, the GOP and MAGA coalitions were saying out loud they were making plans, if not outright attempting to rig the election. Remember with these guys every accusation is an admission.

(I'm not saying it WAS stolen, I'm only saying these guys have been loud about the results before the election even happened)

 

[elpablo21]

I'd say it's a tad bit different when it's reddit and twitter users compared to the former and incoming president and a large portion GOP elected officials pushing it.

Just a taaaaaad bit different

 

[balldontlie206]

Absolutely different. In 2020 elected officials in the GOP (high and low profile) engaged in the “rigged election” nonsense when the evidence proved otherwise.

People on the internet are not the “Democrats” in unison

 

[rolaholic]

No it's definitely the same as the Big Lie...

/s

 

[nonnative]

Sad thing is that even if it was stolen or there was evidence of suspicious activity that should be investigated, I can already see Joe and the other Dems hitting us with the classic:

"For the good of the nation, we need to close this chapter and move forward and we look forward to working with our Republican counterparts for the sake of our nation"

Or some other nonsense like that.

With President-elect Donald Trump promising to inflict pain on the Chinese economy by shutting out Chinese goods from the U.S. market, Beijing is looking at ways to peel American allies away from Washington in response.

Food prices worried most voters, but they likely won't see lower grocery bills under Trump

Trump often railed on the campaign trail against hefty price increases for bacon, cereal and other products. But the steep food price inflation that stunned the U.S. and other parts of the world in 2021 and 2022 had complicated causes that are difficult to unwind.

But the food price inflation that stunned the U.S. — and other parts of the world — in 2021 and 2022 had complicated causes that are difficult to unwind, from the pandemic to the Ukraine war to avian flu. And many economists think Trump’s plans, including putting tariffs on imported foods and deporting undocumented workers, could actually make food prices rise.

Who could resist those fine Trump taco salads?

If I had a fraction of Elon money, I would disappear forever doing anything fun or interesting I wanted to do. Being a moron’s lapdog ain’t it.

It's gonna be hilarious when/if Trump tells Elon to f off. He's got what he needed out of you. You're worthless to him now.

I'm not sure what side I'd be on if that feud were to happen
