Pardon him for what?
Gotta love lefties bagging Trump right now when they spent his entire presidency sprouting fairytales of the last election being rigged, refusing to accept a democratically elected leader, rioting in the streets murdering people and destroying businesses.
Hey lefties, your side is just as stuffed as the goon bags on the right.
You're all idiots
I'm not talking about far left or far right idiots on the streets.
The smooth transition of power is one of the most fundamental elements of democracy. In Australia, we have the caretaker period to allow for it. While in the USA, the president-elect should be allowed access to economic, security, health, etc briefings prior to the Jan 20 transfer. Trump is blocking these briefings. He is preventing this smooth transition of power which is a disgrace on its own. Add a 1-in-100 year pandemic which is out of control over there, an economic downturn, and with China and Russia deliberately infiltrating and targeting weaknesses in western countries - and it's sheer lunacy
.
Trump has a right to ask for vote recounts in close states (which he has mocked anyway because they are only verifying the original result) and even seek legal options provided he has actual independently verifiable evidence (which he has none!). He doesn't have to like the result and can sook on twitter all he likes, but to not concede when the election result is clear cut (306-232) and then block the transition of power is him showing total contempt for democracy and its fundamental institutions.
Are you seriously defending his behaviour?
