I can't speak to the cover of the newspaper itself. But no **it isn't fake** that gore didnt concede, for christ's sake **he fought it all the way to the United States supreme court**.

I just did a search on the internet and **I can't find anything to suggest the cover is fake**. Do you have any evidence you can provide to back up your claim? Please **cite your source that the paper is fake**. But more importantly do you have a source suggesting it is fake that gore didnt concede (which he didnt, for 35 days and went to court before dropping it)?...

I mean I was there, I remember rather well well Gore refused to concede and went to court of "dangling ballots" (ballots that had an error on them)....

Honestly the only thing that is criminal is the fact that people are pretending this didnt happen, I lived through it, it happened.

@freemo Oh, my bad -- really sorry.

I took a quick look at it, and remembered the Washington Times cover - which I had seen an article about yesterday.

That one was the opposite of true.

I remember the 2000 election and the never ending wrangling, ending with Al Gore gracefully accepting the SCOTUS decision just for the country's sake.

To avoid damage like trump is inflicting now - even months before the election, when he started this.

@design_RG Wait what... Gore "Gracefully" accepted a **Supreme court loss**... he took it to court, lost, and repeated that all the way to the supreme court, then lost again. He had absolutely no legal recourse left of any kind so he finally conceded... thats "graceful"...

How is that more graceful than trump.. Not only did he take it much farther than Trump (so far) but they are taking the exact same actions.. Neither is gracefully admitting defeat, and so far Gore was a hell of a lot more stubborn than trump (we will see if trump actually takes this to the supreme court, if so then they will be on equal footing at best).
