That makes two of us, tbh, Marie.

In 1940s London, between two men, it was know as "plain stitching".
In 1960s secondary schools, a "hand shandy" - shandy being a popular summer drink that is half beer, half lemonade.

About thirty years ago but you'd have to ask mother when my first word was.

Dude. If Trump says the election was rigged he’s still going to be commander in chief. Look at like this: If Trump remains in power he’ll punish anyone who didn’t stand by his side. If there’s confusion and Biden finally takes over he’s not going to take revenge on those who stuck with Trump during the delay. Obviously, there’s nothing to be gained by and everything to lose by turning against Trump.

It’s already been established again and again they’re afraid to arrest him for breaking the law. Obstructing justice is a huge crime. If they’re afraid to enforce it now the election is not going to make any difference. It’s still the law. So staying in office after losing an election is against the law. He doesn’t care and we’ve already shown that it’s ok for him to break the law. How many people who were close to him ended up in jail?

add whoever else since then like Steve Bannon

So all these people are guilty but he’s clean. OK.

We just worship this symbol of authority. It’s unthinkable to hold him accountable. They’ll probably allow him to pardon himself which will make every future president a dictator by default.
