Trump spent the last 4 years claiming the last election was rigged. He spent his entire campaign stating if loses, it will be because it's rigged.
Dem and Rep voting officials bent over backwards stating elections aren't rigged.
Trump rigs the election and no one will dare say anything.

On this episode, host Adrian Ma and his colleagues from NPR's The Indicator podcast look at that immigration crackdown during the 'Chinese Exclusion Era,' and the economic impact it had on the West.
The 'Chinese Exclusion Era' shows how Trump's mass deportation plan could unfold : Consider This from NPR
Donald Trump promises to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants once he returns to the White House. If he follows through, the scale of it would be unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes.Many supporters of Trump's mass deportation agenda say expelling unauthorized immigrants will help the US economy. But a look back at America's first major immigration crackdown suggests otherwise.On this episode, host Adrian Ma and his colleagues from NPR's The Indicator podcast look at that immigration crackdown during the 'Chinese Exclusion Era,' and the economic impact it had on the West. For a deeper dive into the economic history of the Chinese Exclusion Era, check out the latest installments of Planet Money's newsletter. In Part One, NPR's Greg Rosalsky covers the economic circumstances that led to a populist anti-Chinese movement. In Part Two, he explains the ways (both legal and extralegal) that movement succeeded in driving Chinese immigrants away from the U.S. and the economic fallout that ensued.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at [email protected].

Frisco, Texas parents (many of whom ate staunchly pro vouchers) saying the quiet part out loud.
Vouchers were never about disadvantaged kids being able to attend better schools.
They don't want OTHER kids in THEIR district. THE HORROR!

As much as I abhor this choice for the role, I will enjoy big pharma getting some much needed spankings.
Also, big insurance agencies (united/aetna/elevance) need to be cracked open and examined.

Not by a landslide like they claim. Since counting continued past election night as part of the legal election process.

Interesting correlation. We all want a simple reason why we lost.
When we start breaking down the data, we can learn more and do better in midterms and 2028.
