Trump Files First Election Lawsuit in Chilling Sign of What’s to Come

The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

…

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

    Trump made Biden scream “we beat Medicare” over and over? Biden didn’t face pressure to step down because he “froze up.” Don’t believe your lying eyes, I guess?

    I legitimately can’t imagine why anyone would think the election would be going better right now if Biden hadn’t stepped down.

      He didn’t “scream” it, and he said it one time, clearly tripping two thoughts together.

      Whatever else you might think about him or what that says about him, at least get that much right, lying about him “screaming” that “over and over” does nothing to help your point

        The clip I saw might have had a bad audio quality or something or I might just be misremembering, it sounded like yelling when I watched it the last time it was relevant (months ago, when he was still running). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Either way, pretending it didn’t happen by way of downplaying it is ridiculous.

          “I stated a patently false thing that can be easily refuted as a fact, but you… YOU are being ridiculous!”

          That’s you. That’s what you sound like right now.

            Sorry my obvious acknowledgment that my memory of the exact tone someone (who is no longer even a politics main character) used months ago could be faulty wasn’t good enough for you.

            Doesn’t change that Biden said something obviously insane and had no idea how to recover from it on stage, or the incredibly obviously tepid enthusiasm voters had for a second Biden term, even in the face of a second Trump presidency.
