For the five years we have had to live with Trump’s erratic behavior and mood swings, there is one consistent pattern as predictable as the rising sun - his accusations mirror (and serve as a smokescreen for) his own misbehavior. He calls others liars when he’s about to tell a whopper, complains about “fake news” when he is peddling malarky, accuses others of cheating when he is breaking the rules. Does this pattern hold regarding his endless election fraud allegations? After all, he is the one candidate in the last two national elections whose proportion of the vote in battleground states far exceeded multiple polls. Maybe the Ds in Congress ought to take-up the latest Kamikaze Caucus calls for a commission to investigate election fraud, expanding it to all 50 states, making it bipartisan, inviting state secretaries of state to assist, appointing adults from both sides of the aisle, and for good measure expanding its scope to include voter suppression.
Well that is classic narcissist and abuser behavior. There is even an acronym for it: DARVO. Been a subject of frequent conversation on FB these days among my group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO
That is exactly what we have been experiencing for the past five years:
"DARVO is an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender", a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.[1][2][3]
The abuser denies the abuse ever took place, attacks the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable, and claims that they, the abuser, are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the reality of the victim and offender.[1][3] This usually involves not just "playing the victim" but also victim blaming.[2"
Yes. This is a critically important step going forward. Election processes and voting rights must be addressed in every state. Ensuring our elections are open and free is how we protect our democracy. The Elections Commission is a must.
Mim, wasn't it the other way around? I remember that Clinton was talking about him and the Russians and she said that he was their puppet...Trump then talked over her and said, "I'm not a puppet. YOU'RE a puppet." That's the classic "I know you are, but what am I?" At least, that's how I remember it...dodgy memory and all.

One has to admit that most American voters base their votes on false narratives. They are lemmings, programmed by liars.

Yes. I've noticed this as well. He debates are something like schoolyard arguments. The opponent says "you did ..." and he responds "no you did".
We all remember the Clinton-Tя☭mp debate:
He: "You're a puppet."
She: "No, you're a puppet."
She told the truth. If only people had listened and if only Comey hadn't interjected himself right before the election.

You're right, which just reaffirms how bad my memory is. Yours is fine.
Are such moments capable of altering the fate of nations?
Apparently yes re: Comey; no re: Clinton's perspicacity.
So true! "I know you are, but what am I?" lol
At the very least, in Kentucky.
