That’s not how I remember it. Gore whined incessantly about “hanging chads” until he was forced to step aside by the Supreme Court.

That's funny, I remember Roger Stone staging fake protests to stop court-ordered recounts until the Bush team ran out the clock. Guess memory is a fickle thing!

Far too few people are aware of the Brooks Brothers riot.

These were at least valid evidential concerns, not something completely made up.

People see the evidence they want to see as valid maybe?

Condolences on your memory loss. You should see a doctor.

Right. Once the case was over he stepped aside instead of trying to take down our whole system of government like you know who.

> ” trying to take down our whole system of government like you know who.”

This is pure hyperbole and exaggeration. Emphasis on “our whole system of government”.

It's really rich (in an olfactory, not financial way) that a Trump Big Lie supporting bitcoin shill would whine about hyperbole and exaggeration. Are you under the illusion that you have an exclusive monopoly on that, and you're mortally offended when you find yourself on the receiving end of what you believe you have the sole right to dish out?

After debasing yourself by jumping to Trump's defense with "Trump is obviously being sarcastic" when all the evidence from his previous statements and behavior and impeachment trial proves that he most certainly was not, you're certainly easy to trigger into instantly flip-flopping to the other extreme when it's the other side.

So why are you so eager to believe and defend Trump's "sarcastic" "pure hyperbole and exaggeration", but so disrespectful of anyone else's freedom of speech?
