the "you lost, get over it" crowd from 2016 is now obsessively checking ballots for imaginary bamboo particles because they lost and they can't get over it

[ariadne0614]

1. Let's call them "Bamboozled"!

(Heard on yesterday's Thom Hartmann Show, called in by a listener)

[mwooldri]

2. We built a wall of ballots and they can't get over it. NT

15. +about a million

[YoshidaYui]

3. Only the Republicans could come up with "Bamboo particles" because they

associate bamboo with ASIAN people...because Bamboo is grown in Asia, but that stuff grows here as well.. What an asinine theory!!

6. well, bamboo is used for paper in china.....

They have a shortage of trees growing there. So bamboo fills a need.

BUT, they only use it where we would use recycled paper. It is very course and doesn't turn white easily and it doesn't take ink well.

They don't use it for any consumer paper like instructions or books. They certainly wouldn't use it for something they were trying to pass off as us government paper stock. They are much smarter than the gqp.

4. Agreed

Also, if they were correct that the Orange Menace really won in 2020 (which he didn't); well, turnabout is fair play. He only "won" by cheating in 2016 (Russian interference, voter suppression by Republican state legislatures, etc.). So what are they complaining about? We're better cheaters than they are?

What I have found so amusing is the claim that somehow the Dems were able to stuff countless ballot boxes with votes for Biden yet we didn't at the same time ensure that all those close Senate and House races went in favor of Democrats. There were at least 5 Senate races that all the pollsters and pundits were sure to be Democratic wins - Arizona, Colorado, Maine, North Carolina and Georgia - plus some that were long shots that in a "wave" election could go Democratic like Iowa, Montana, the other Georgia seat or South Carolina or even Kentucky. Yet only two of those seats actually switched as a result of the November election, Colorado and Arizona.

5. he ripped us off for a pos wall, why not a ballot scam?

[getagrip_already]

7. Don't miss the point of the big lie...

It is firing up their base. Just like with anti-mask and anti-vax crazy parties, the big lie is getting them fired up and is opening wallets.

So they get a two-fer. They get to scam the base, and they will get them to turn out at the midterms.

We need to stay fired up and gotv. We will need every vote and then some.

9. HAVEN'T - PEOPLE NEED TO BE REMINDED OF PAST STUFF !! CALLED ADD ON'S !!

[Crunchy Frog]

11. It's to provide them with an excuse to end democratic elections

in enough states to entrench themselves in power and solidify minority rule in this country.

Firing up the rubes just helps to give them some cover.

8. Like the stalker ex who can not get get over that there was a Final Judgement of Divorce.

[monkeyman1]

10. VERY GOOD ONE !!

[2naSalit]

12. +1

Wonder how many of them actually are that.

[Bettie]

13. I'm still stuck on how that dude

thinks that literally everything in Asia is covered in bamboo...WTF?

[Takket]

17. Racists gonna racist.

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. It's a wonder they don't fall down more.

Bamboo. *major eye roll* Anyone who believes this needs looking after, for their own good. They would likely be unable to puzzle out what they are supposed to do with advanced green lights for turning lanes.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

16. I say this all the time. I don't know how these people function

with this level of credulity. Add to this their acceptance, even admiration, of cruelty, and I'm even happier I was born into a family of Democrats.

[dianaredwing]

18. Maybe its time

we all metaphorically pat them on their pointy little tin-foil hat covered heads (wouldn't actually touch one with a ten foot pole, I'd rather pat a rattler) and say, "Chill out dude, at the rate you're going your heart is going to give out before the next election" (we should be so lucky).

Happy Mothers' Day all.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. That is the most asinine conspiracy theory...

...I was going to say "ever," but that's unlikely. Seems probable to me that they came up with something even dumber. It's like a contest.
