Back to episode — Episode 1176 Scott Adams - Even the Looters Don't Know What to do Now. Get in Here.

he goes through his legal challenges and they don't work, or he uses the system as well as he can but he can't get a different result? Do you think there's any chance that Trump would try to stay in office if he had exhausted his appeals? I don't think so. I think the odds of that are zero. Not even one percent. I think it's zero. But what if it's inauguration day and there's still an open questi…

So you might hear this phrase, the margin of litigation. Is he close enough that a legal challenge could make a difference?
Don't you think you would find some pleasure if you're a Trump supporter and it turns out Biden is the winner? Would you find some pleasure in watching the Squad tear him apart? Because he's going to get, I mean he'll just get ripped down to the bone I think by the progressives. So watching that will sort of be fun.
And it looks like if Biden is president all of the Russia collusion coup people will go free. We'll stay free I guess. So it looks like crime pays so far. So far I would say we have strong evidence that crime pays. And that the coup attempt with the Russia collusion hoax looks like nobody's going to get punished for that. Looks like that was just a free slap. And it will actually be part of what causes Biden to win. So I would say that that just sort of worked. It just didn't work the year that they wanted it to work but it had a spillover effect into this election for sure.
Somebody says Trump tweets are being filtered by Twitter again. Well anything where he claims victory is going to get filtered.
Will Trump's crimes pay? Well I don't know of any Trump crimes.
The hardest part about this will be all of the gloating Democrats. So I might have to take a social media holiday just until they get less excited.
Somebody's telling me to look at Trump's newest tweets. I don't know if those are the ones I just looked at but let's see. Oh there's one that's being filtered. So Matt Walsh has tweeted something that Twitter is trying very hard for me not to see. So I'm at my second level of warning here. And so Matt Walsh says this is reason enough to go to court. No honest person can look at this and say it's normal and unconcerning.
And the way he's talking about is this idea that Michigan went up 128,000 votes for Biden with no extra votes for Trump at the same time. So I believe that's the claim, that the key state of Michigan had an unexpected surge in votes. And conservatives are pointing it out and Trump is saying what is this all about in caps.
Now remember I told you that the odds of finding something irregular is kind of a hundred percent. Now suppose this is fraud. Now I think the greater odds are always that it's not, right? If you're going to bet on it, they'll probably bet that it's not. But you certainly have to ask the question why does it look like that? I think if you dig down you'll find out that there's more to it and maybe it's not what it looks like. But it could be. It could be. I'm not saying it's not fraud. It certainly has all of the telltale signs of fraud. If you were going to do fraud it would look sort of like this. So the question has to be asked and answered. But that doesn't mean it's what you think it is.
And then what else has he got here? Let's see. Yeah, and then the president retweeted someone else talking about this 128,000 votes in Michigan. You know one way this could go quite easily, what if he challenges just that and it's enough? So already you can see the wisdom of Ross Garber's comment about the margin of litigation.
So somebody tell me because I don't know, if Trump challenged just that 128,000 votes that looked sort of suspicious because 100% of them went to Biden, if he challenged just that and he succeeded, would it change the result? Is he within the margin of litigation as Ross Garber says? I don't know. I don't know if this could be more interesting or more frustrating if you tried.
How in the world did this simple process that has worked for hundreds of years become this complicated? And could you ever be convinced that

it wasn't fraud if it turns out that the basic facts being alleged are true? Let's say it's true that 128,000 votes appeared suddenly and a hundred percent of them were Biden and that's the story. If that was the final story and we never got any deeper explanation, would you accept this election as valid? I don't know. To me it would depend a little bit about whether that one change would change…
