thepoliticalinsider--2020-11-10--Whoopi Goldberg Tells Trump Voters To ‘Suck It Up’ – ‘How Dare You Question Election Results?’

Whoopi Goldberg went full hypocrite on Monday ’ s episode of “ The View ” telling supporters of Donald Trump to “ suck it up ” and accept the preliminary results of the election despite the fact that Democrats never accepted that the current president won in 2016 .
As the panel of the ABC talk show discussed the election , Goldberg came unglued while accusing Trump supporters of overreacting simply for asking for recounts in various states .
She was visibly outraged that Republicans have yet to accept that her candidate-of-choice Joe Biden was the winner .
“ Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up right now , ” she said .
“ I want to say to all those people who don ’ t believe that Americans actually got out and voted , let me say this to you : When you knew who was elected four years ago , Hillary Clinton didn ’ t say ‘ Hey , wait a minute , this doesn ’ t feel right , stop the count.

“ Whoa , whoa , whoa – I just think we have to be very clear , ” he said .
“ She ’ s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting , ” Cavuto continued .
“ Unless she has more details to back that up , I can ’ t in good countenance continue to show you this.

“ You can ’ t dismiss them out of hand as crazy or immoral for asking , ” he continued .
“ You can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t like.
” It isn ’ t simply the accuracy of the charges that are newsworthy .
The fact that people are legitimately asking these questions itself is newsworthy .

They are looking out for us. It’s the total opposite with someone like him. It confounds me how he ever got to be elected. He did. Crazy things happen. That’s what we need in a leader. In any leader. That’s what we were going to get with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”

De Niro went on to inadvertently make it clear that his disdain for Trump is personal in nature, as he admitted to never having an interest in politics.
“I’m not like political, but I was so angry and so enraged and confounded that he would actually behave the way he did and that people bought it,” he said.
“I now I see many many many people in the country feel this way,” De Niro added. “I’m sad about other people who don’t. They are accepted him and would have voted for him and have voted for him. I don’t know why. That’s all that it was from the very beginning. How could this guy behave this way? That’s all.”

This Is Trump Derangement Syndrome
This is Trump derangement syndrome at its absolute worst. Many of the liberals who frequently spew hate at Trump and his supporters don’t actually know anything about politics. If they did, they would see all the incredible political accomplishments that Trump made in the first four years of his presidency.
Instead, all De Niro and many of his fellow lefties can see when they look at Trump is a person who they personally despise. The party of love has turned into the party of hate.

Trump Jr. Rips DOJ Voter Fraud Investigator Richard Pilger After He Resigns In Protest Of Voter Fraud Investigations

Donald Trump Jr. criticized Richard Pilger , the DOJ ’ s top election crimes prosecutor , after he resigns in protest following Attorney General William Barr ’ s authorization of federal prosecutors to investigate voting irregularities in this year ’ s presidential election .
Trump Jr. alleged that Pilger was a member of the “ deep state.

“ Maybe that ’ s why he hasn ’ t done s**t at DOJ.

The memo does not indicate there has been evidence of widespread problems but encourages pursuit “ if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities ” that “ could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparent disgust , stepped down from his post “ within hours ” according to the New York Times .
“ Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications , ” Pilger wrote , “ I must regretfully resign from my role as director of the Election Crimes Branch.

” Perhaps ‘ non-interference ’ in elections from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t really the best policy ?
Perhaps that ’ s why we ’ re staring at so many questions in so many states ?
Attorney General Barr said that while “ most allegations ” of voter fraud are not significant enough to affect election results , “ that is not always the case.
” But he also said any investigations should avoid focus on “ specious , speculative , fanciful or far-fetched claims.

Florida Governor DeSantis Creates ‘Anti-Mob’ Legislation To Allow Self Defense Against Looters, Rioters

Florida Governor Rick DeSantis has drafted “ anti-mob ” legislation that would allow citizens to defend themselves against looters and rioters .
Over the summer , violent leftist rioters caused billions of dollars in damage across the country , after “ protests ” were kicked off following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis .

“ We are not going to permit localities to defund the police , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you defund the police , then the state is going to defund any grant or aids coming to you.

DeSantis Takes A Stand Against Rioters And Looters
Over the summer, violent leftist rioters caused billions of dollars in damage across the country, after “protests” were kicked off following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis. This was the most expensive in insurance history.
In response to this, Florida Governor Rick DeSantis has decided to draft “anti-mob” legislation that would allow small business owners to defend themselves and their property from violent looters and rioters during these sort of events.
A key component of this legislation expands on Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, and would empower citizens to use force against rioters who use “criminal mischief” that results in the “interruption or impairment” of a business.
Looters would also be allowed to defended against under this legislation, which defines it as burglary within 500 feet of “a violent or disorderly assembly.” Criminal penalties would be increased for those involved in such assemblies as well.
An Expansion Of Proposed Anti-Mob Legislation From September
The legislation appears to be an expansion of DeSantis’s proposed “Combatting Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act,” which he announced in September of this year.
The newly announced draft includes a number of key components from September’s bill, such as enhancing criminal penalties for people involved in violent assemblies, making it a third degree felony to block traffic, and withholding state funding for governments that defund the police.
Today I announced bold legislation that creates new criminal offenses and increases penalties for those who target law enforcement and participate in violent or disorderly assemblies.

“We are not going to permit localities to defund the police,” DeSantis said in September. “If you defund the police, then the state is going to defund any grant or aids coming to you.”
Leftists Oppose Self-Defense Against Mobs
However, while many conservatives were supportive, not everyone was thrilled by DeSantis’ new anti-mob legislation.
“It allows for vigilantes to justify their actions,” former Miami-Dade County prosecutor Denise Georges said. “It also allows for death to be the punishment for a property crime, and that is cruel and unusual punishment. We cannot live in a lawless society where taking a life is done so casually and recklessly.”
“What’s interesting to see is Gov. Ron DeSantis has so much time on his hands that he can craft legislation to address an imaginary issue in the state of Florida,” said state Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith, a Democrat.
“We don’t have a crisis with riots or with looters,” he added. “What we do have is millions of Floridians pushed into poverty and unemployment as a result of the economic consequences of coronavirus.”
Audrey Webb, a former Miami-Dade prosecutor, claimed that the Boston Tea Party members would have been unlawfully shot under the legislation.
“It dangerously gives armed private citizens power to kill as they subjectively determine what constitutes ‘criminal mischief’ that interferes with a business,” she argued.
Biden Administration Would Take Aim Against The Second Amendment
The draft legislation follows comments from Joe Biden hours before last weeks election, where he doubled down on attacking the Second Amendment, and therefore self-defense along with it.
“As president, I’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic,” Biden tweeted.
It’s long past time we take action to end the scourge of gun violence in America. As president, I’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 1, 2020
