No, none of those were Trump's. But he did learn his lesson and there will be doing house cleaning in 2024. Or DeSantis will. All GOP candidates learned that the swamp is Democrat and will be hostile. So firing is going to happen.

---At a pivotal moment in the film, state-captured surveillance video shows a man depositing several ballots into a drop box before getting into a white Ford SUV whose license plate is visible, but blurred by the filmmakers.
“What you are seeing is a crime,” D’Souza says in the film as the video plays. “These are fraudulent votes.”
In fact, investigators say it was not a crime. And those were not fraudulent votes.
Rather, an investigator for the Georgia Board of Elections has determined the man was depositing his own ballots, plus the ballots of his wife and adult children, who are also registered voters. That’s all perfectly legal in Georgia.---
That's just one example. What D'Souza claimed was a crime was investigated and found not to be. So when you say, "Not at all", you appear to be projecting the same false certainty of the guy who made the 'documentary'. Coupled with what appear to be made up numbers in your post that don't tie to the link you provided, I don't see how I can ascribe much credibility to your claims.
Yes all of those were Trump's in just the same way you guys think everything now is Biden's, and furthermore many of them were either Republicans in office or one of Trump's nominees.
What you mean by housecleaning is that your authoritarian will purge anyone who chooses loyalty to the constitution over loyalty to him personally.
Is rigged a legal term? It is trump's preferred term. Since you think you are so informed, you know 2000 mules was nonsense. Dinesh's 2000 mules has already been debunked, beginning with something Biden DID NOT say. The "2,000 mules" trailer begins with an clip of Joe Biden talking before the election about pulling together "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics." Biden was describing a project to help people learn where and how to vote legally, but the trailer falsely frames his quote as an admission to election fraud.
There have been isolated cases of fraud associated with ballot harvesting, such as a North Carolina Republican in a 2018 congressional race. A few people in 2020 collected and returned mail ballots in violation of their state laws, and like the NC Republican, face consequences. D’Souza’s portrayal of the practice as leading to fraud on the scale of 400,000 illegal votes is not supported by evidence.
Experts say cellphone location data, even at its most advanced, can only reliably track a smartphone within a few meters — not close enough to know whether someone actually dropped off a ballot or just walked or drove nearby. What’s more, ballot drop boxes are often intentionally placed in busy areas, such as college campuses, libraries, government buildings and apartment complexes. Lots of repeat cell phone pings.
An awful lot of people at the Bulwark are not lefties, but apart from you, they are not far right either. No wonder everyone here looks like a lefty to you. Again, your speculations are are not facts. You have not a shred of evidence for anything. Immoral? You are projecting again.
I live in liberal land and have for over 40 years. Much of my extended family lives in Trump land. My Trump land relatives call me a liberal for my social views. I am a center-right libertarian from my checklist of political principles and beliefs.
But living as I do in liberal land, and having decades of experience debating the species, it is common for them to claim that they are independent while demonstrating almost complete solidarity with the progressive left orthodoxy of the time.
So I always call BS on that... sorry, you don't get to claim membership in a moderate or center political tribe while ranting the same as a standard issue liberal. Certainly there are old-style establishment Republicans that are anti-Trump, but they don't tend to support anything the Democrats stand for today.
My position is that Trump is somewhat like Teddie Roosevelt, Winston Churchill or George S. Patton. He is a SOB, but he is a needed SOB given the challenges of the time.
Center-right people tend to be pragmatic about their politics (saving their emotive energy for God, family and community). They don't get all wee weed up about character issues if the politician is doing what he said he would do. You can identify a lefty because they tend to do the exact opposite... not care much what the politician is getting done as long as he says the right words.
Just more blah blah blah from you. As Bill Kristol said, "Tons of counter-programming from the Right. But no counter-evidence. " Here is the bottom-line: Donald Trump was the head of a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. As Bill Barr quashed one conspiracy theory after another, he finally concluded that Trump had lost touch with reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWl_JxwbFr4 Almost everything Trump supporters say is projection. All patriots of any political stripe do not support Trump. Don't ever tell anyone how Trump supporters are more moral than anyone else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVJabiqgbJc
Your bottom line is made from the stuff that the bottom excretes. I'm starting to wonder if you clutch to this cult belief of mythological nonsense because it helps you attract liberal chicks? Maybe you are not very attractive as a manly man or maybe you are short. That tends to make some people demonstrate their Good Man virtue to libs to get more *P*.
Or maybe not and you are just caught in a left media vortex and cannot escape.
Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to form a judgment. The subject is complex; several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis or evaluation of factual evidence.
Emotive hyperbole does not factor into critical thinking. Neither does repeated political rhetoric that has no sufficient basis in real fact.
Donald Trump thought Democrats stole the election. So did many others, and many still do today. There is ample evidence today that he was correct. His interest was to overturn the election that was fraudulent; not to steal a legitimate election. You cannot project current perspectives on historical actions and claim to be a critical thinker... that is what cultists do. Now, you can make the case that the courts have ruled against him and that today it has been proven that there is not enough evidence to prove illegal election activity... and so today he would be guilty of sedition or insurrection if he assembled an army to try and take the capitol. But at the time he and others were certain the Democrats cheated. And they did... but got away with it.
The reason that 85% of OECD countries - older democracies than ours - ban mail-in ballots is that ballot fraud is both inevitable and almost impossible to prove and it takes so much time to investigate that the real election outcomes would would not be determined for months if not years... thus putting the entire political system in a state of chaos.
So please stop with the Jan-6 mythology. You are better than that... I think.
I see. You would rather engage in blah blah blah counter programming. You won't even consider the evidence, and you have offered no evidence, only speculation. Trump's inner circle examined all those speculations and have testified they found them without merit. Trump rejected the evidence and went with his Big Lie prompting his inner circle to consider the 25th Amendment. Pence demurred especially with the end of the term so near anyway.
"Trump's _ _ _"
No, none of those were Trump's. But he did learn his lesson and there will be doing house cleaning in 2024. Or DeSantis will. All GOP candidates learned that the swamp is Democrat and will be hostile. So firing is going to happen.
What is "rigged" election? Is that a legal term?
And no, 2000 Mules has not been debunked. Not at all. People that watch it... even 75% of Democrats... are convinced that some cheating happened after watching it. https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/public_surveys/2000_mules_documentary_s_message_resonates_with_voters
When looking at the crosstabs, I do not see where you are getting the 75% number you are claiming.
I also don't know how I am to view the objectiveness of people who paid to see what appears very much to be a slanted political production.
As for debunking: https://www.factcheck.org/2022/06/evidence-gaps-in-2000-mules/

Rassmussen? Ha! Way to self-own. 146 people is not considered a reasonable sample. And Q3 makes an invalid assumption that 100% start with the conviction of widespread fraud and asks if that conviction was strengthened or weakened. https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/public_surveys/questions_2000_mules_june_1_2_2022
Garbage movie. Garbage poll.
You have thrown in with the seditionists. If any Dem president had done what trump did, you would be demanding an indictment.
