    Did being arrested and charged really backfire when he has lost due to legally proven fraud and got fined hundreds of millions of dollars?

    And it’s not over, none of the charges with jail time have been adjudicated yet. We don’t know if prosecutors will ask for jail as a penalty or if the respective judges would decide on that as an appropriate punishment if found guilty (I think they won’t, but we don’t know).

      It’s concerning that many think Biden didn’t win fairly.

      What’s concerning about it? Not a big fan of the government getting criticized?

        I probably disagree on the reason why it is concerning, but it absolutely is, because distrust of elections means instability of our democracy. I pay taxes and therefore my voice should be heard.

        And that’s under threat, making it concerning.

          Feel free to just blindly trust whatever the government tells you if you like.

            I’m not blindly trusting it. There have been a shit load of lawsuits over the last election and Trump’s goons lost nearly all of them. Plus there was IIRC a few conservative groups who blew millions of dollar trying to find fraud, just to find nothing.

            If you guys can’t prove anything in a court of law, and your investigations find nothing, then that’s enough for me.
