Democrat Andrew Gillum officially conceded to Republican former Rep. Ron DeSantis in Florida’s gubernatorial race as a recount of votes showed a margin Gillum was unlikely to close.

I voted to end greyhound racing, too. And if your decision on where to retire rests on greyhound racing, please don’t come.

“Is NO ONE in AZ protesting how Sinema stole the election through blatant fraud?”

No. McSally was a hero to the left for rolling over and why not, she probably knows she’ll get McTraitor’s seat by spring. She thumbed her nose to the base during the campaign once she won the Primary. Thanks again Joe.

Concessions are designed for the losing candidate to say to his supporters, “we tried, ee failed, we move on and fight another day”. If it’s not done election night or very soon after it’s been useless and your supporters won’t accept the result (Hillary Clinton). It’s a sign of love of country over self. Trump is trying to show people how to do this. Youbrun hard and at the end you say, now let’s make America great again. Sadly, there may not be enough Trump’s to fix the country.

"Time for him to write a book and travel the world blaming it on whitey."

I believe that is also Bill Nelson's plan.

The Governors race was huge. Scott had lost in court to replace 3 justices on Fl sup ct.
We would of had 3 ginsbergs as replacements

Here's a few songs that sort of apply to the severe whiplash of Gloomin's conceding/unconceding/conceding jerkings...

"The Hokey Pokey" - Ray Anthony (Jo Ann Greer, vocal)

"You put your left foot in
you put your left foot out
you put your left foot in
and you shake it all about..."
"Percy's Song" - Fairport Convention

"Bad news, bad news came to me where I sleep
Turn, turn, turn again..."
"I've Loved And Lost Again" - Patsy Cline
"Crapped Out Again" - Keb' Mo'

"Democrat Andrew Gillum officially conceded to Republican former Rep. Ron DeSantis in Florida’s gubernatorial race..."

This is welcome news. Now, the FBI can go back to investigating that POS's ethics complaint.

“we can’t cheat any more. Too much attention. Next election cycle, we’ll pull an Arizona.”

My understanding is that prior to the EU, if you sued someone in Italy and lost in court, you would be liable to pay: all court costs, your lawyer fees and your opponents lawyer fees. The purpose behind this law was to reduce frivolous law suits.

If we had the same law, it could reduce frivolous law suites including those foisted on us by sore losers and corrupt political parties. I would take it a step further. If the government indicts you for criminal charges and the government loses in court - apply the same rule. I.e., when it loses, the government is responsible to pay: all court costs, your lawyer fees and any other loses caused by the indictment. This would offer some hedge against ruthless and oppressive prosecutors like Mueller, who has bankrupted innocent people trying to defend themselves.

Unfortunately, the trial lawyers in our country would never allow any laws that might reduce frivolous lawsuits and the government would never tolerate any law that would hold them fiscally responsible for the damage they do against innocent people.

God help us!

On a funnier note, why do lawyers make better lab animals than rats?

1. They're more of them.

2. You can get attached to rats.

3. There are some things that rats won't do.
