He has talked about election rigging before the election, and continued to do so until present. He has ramped up the effort recently. There have been a few to notice the uptick. I saw it on my Google page, but that doesn’t count for much.

That’s true, but I really don’t want him even mentioning stuff like that, because it’s bullshit

I don’t disagree at all. But these threats by him aren’t new. His expressed sorrow that dictators in other locations have it much easier and that he is envious of that power isn’t new. I guess it’s just another thing for his supporters to ignore as not being important.

What’s different about that than Hilary and the Dems saying Russia stole the election for Trump?
Evidence.
Accusing the Russians of meddling in our election is not the same as an American president saying our own system is crooked.

This, along with some evidence (the strength of which can be debated).
However for me one of the biggest things is the timing–saying something AFTER an election, with some kind of evidence, smacks of being a poor loser. Saying stuff repeatedly BEFORE an election is a transparent attempt to try to de-legitimize the system and rob faith in the entire democratic process. The two are not comparable to me.
I recall Trump doing the same thing before the 2016 election as well: US election 2016: Trump says election 'rigged at polling places' - BBC News
Then he claimed that he would have won the popular vote had there not been voter fraud and about half his voters believed his claim: Trump Won the Popular Vote, Nearly Half His Voters, Republicans Falsely Believe: Poll
Joe Biden made a rare TV appearance to stress the importance of stopping the future. No comment from the Biden campaign about this move coinciding with the release of The Terminator on Amazon Prime Video.
Been several days away from phones, internet, tv etc.
What are you talking about?
Nevermind, read following posts.

Well, POTUS just re tweeted a video of a guy in a retirement community yelling “white power”, thanking the folks of that retirement community for their support. this is not a joke.
Just when I think this guy cant get any lower he makes me a liar again. His bottom is infinite.
This is unreal. I literally never thought I’d see this day.
Any other President this would be world shattering news. With Trump it’s not even remotely surprising and will likely be forgotten in a few days.*
*. In before tweets and words don’t matter.
The “Russian bounties on US troops” also flew under the radar, didn’ it?

You guys don’t think that, “Yeah, you got it. White power. White power.” was sarcasm directed at the old asshole asking, “Where’s your white hood? Rac(sh)ist, rac(sh)ist?”

Well that could definitely be up for debate. Why the fuck would the President retweet it even if it was sarcastic? And since we don’t know for sure it’s beyond idiotic. Even if we we were 100% sure the guy was joking for a President to associate himself with that phrase in the midst of what’s going on is mind boggling.
Obviously, in the minds of some.
I guess it’s probable(maybe even certain) that the guy in the golf cart thought the old asshole asking about the whereabouts of hoods and feebly chanting “rac(sh)ist” was also supportive of white supremacy, so he responded with “Yeah. You got it. White power. White power.” as a show of solidarity.
I’m a normal person, so it was an easy matter for me to understand that I’m watching a sarcastic remark on video.
Trump should know better than to expect that from anyone. The fact that “white power” was shouted, no matter the context, will guarantee national news coverage salivating over the comment.
I’m sure this will embolden countless additional white supremacists to step out of the shadows and act, as has been the case for the entire presidency. Nobody can say who they are, what their actions may be and what their white supremacy policy goals are, but never mind any of that. They’re out there, ready to step out of the shadows and act, only needing to be emboldened by the president somehow. Our friends in the media assure us of this.
It’s getting close to Hail Mary time. Calling Nikki Hailey.
