No, its the invocation of something sadly lacking in the lib-dim
mindset: reality.

Problem is, no election was stolen.  It was **prevented** from being
stolen.

No, that's not it.  It's when they swear under oath in a federal court
proceeding that they didn't get the blowjob, when in fact they did, it
makes for one way to be made to answer.  It's called perjury, and it's
a felony, and it's also how Knob Job Willie lost his law license, BTW.

Irony of ironies.  That's exactly what the Knobster did for 8 years. 
What an example!  Thank you.
