‘You’re Too Honest:’ How Trump’s Relationship With Pence Unraveled | WSJ

Respect for Pence. But to think it came down to 1 person, is not a good omen for the future of democracy, around the world.

@@gund89123 62 of the 63 lawsuits filed by Republicans were dismissed on *legal technicalities* (standing, laches, etc) without ANY investigation whatsoever. So we really have no idea to what extent there was direct fraud in 2020. But we know for certain the election was rigged by the FBI and other agencies working in conjunction with Democrats and social media and MSM to suppress and ban conservatives and to spread misinformation. For example, they claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian misinformation when the FBI knew it was real (they had it in their possession for a year at that point).
