Let me see if I have this right.
All the election officials including what we would call scrutineers are saying there's no evidence of any major fraud in the election counting.
Yet one nameless person is allowed to keep yelling fraud without any proof and now has officials looking into it.
Mmmm....

LOL at this thread, and in particular, the Trump worshipers!

The resorting to name calling when it get's too hot to handle, the photos of some random bitches he picked up on Tinder, and a 12 year old Youtuber!

Well going by the back and forth in this thread it is no wonder what happens over there.

I really hope I'm dead before we import the same BS obsession with politicians here

And typical, a few can't debate rationally so they turn to personal insults, the one who looks stupid is you, you are showing the world your level of intelligence, that you can't debate, you can just throw insults. When it starts, it is indicator that you have nothing left to argue with
Saying you’re a good debater or saying your opponents aren’t good debaters doesn’t make you a good debater. To the contrary in fact, as you’re attacking the person rather than the positions backed with irrefutable evidence. Now if you want to win people to your side, have a point about something substantive and make a good case for it.

That would be hypocritical if your friend thinks that Mexicans and Latinos shouldn’t be allowed to work in America. Sounds like you believe that is Trump’s policy, which it isn’t. But I suppose if enough Tinseltown celebrities say it is over and over, then perhaps you’re susceptible to believing it.

Here's my take on it - some old grub got in cause he's not Trump, he probably won't live long enough to see out his full term.
Trump was pretty bad at most things, common sense he has none but did get some stuff done and I liked him sticking it to China just because someone needed to

Joe will do F all while he's in there - other than find some chicks he can rub up to

I wouldn't have voted if I lived in the US if that's the best they can do- the reason to vote someone out is because the other guy is better I just don't see it, which is hard to believe

Totally hypothetical situation I declare and very very unlikely but just say that through the U.S. courts Trump ended up winning ..

I'd be pretty confident that anybody that thinks that America is divided now will have seen nothin' yet if that took place .

I love how Republicans trot out the fact that 71 million Americans turned out to vote for Trump but fail to mention that several million more turned up to either vote him out and/or vote Biden in .

If and it's a big if the vote was overturned so many of those Democrat voters would have to be incensed beyond belief and you could just imagine what that would lead to .

They've already had one Civil War...

Trump is not inclusive and as I have said you need to make a team effort if you want to pull your country out of the doldrums. Biden's 'acceptance' speech was far better than what I heard from Trump in a long time, plus I don't have a Twitter account so miss all the posts
I listened to a radio media discussion a couple of weeks ago on how Joe Biden got the nomination .. The Democrats are a quite factional party apparently and as factional candidates screwed each other over during the primary's and such , Joe Biden was the only one that the rest could work with . He ended up being the most reliable and settled . Kind of a peace maker . That was the main reason he won the Democrat nomination the report deduced .

My own opinion is that Biden will likely only do one term and will have to fight a lot of issues . He is also kind of respected by many Republicans in the Senate because he is not a radical Democrat. Probably an advantage where the Republicans could well hold power so for some matters it might allow some stuff to get done . Only time will tell on that .

Absolutely brilliant..... This is so entertaining.

US election: 'Pathetic' - Trump team exposed over fake newspaper front page
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/us-...TINKVV5NLDPQI/

"It was supposed to be proof that the media gets it wrong - because George W. Bush actually won the election and the state of Florida after just 537 ballots separated the pair.

"A reminder that the media doesn't select the President," Murtaugh wrote.

But the newspaper front page which he shared - and which had been plastered on the walls of Team Trump HQ - was itself fake news."

I think there’s a fair way to go before President Trump is on par with the little man.

Apparently his golf is actually not bad. I read a seemingly balanced critique of it from about four years ago, by a professional golfing writer. They felt he was possibly skewing his overall score card by not turning in all his results and mostly playing on his own courses, which by design catered somewhat to his tastes. But he was admittedly self-taught, played by instinct rather than formal training (sound familiar? ) and the results were reasonably steady.

Two things I will miss with Trump

1. He was not a hawk like Hillary and did not invade a foreign country or create wars in lands away from USA. Probably too busy with self feathering nepotism appointments to family members and dealing with all those pretty women working for him.

2. He was the best in buffoon entertainment, and he had a clownish humour. Where do we get that fix now, not Biden.....

He cheats a fair bit, and his Golf cart goes twice as fast as others (to help with that simple fact).

I didn’t think he would have actually liked the article I read, it was both quite analytical and in places harsh.

His caddy moves the ball, he places his putting marker closer to the hole, etc, etc

It’s all very childish, he has won trophies for Tournaments when he had been the only one playing a round of golf 🤣

1. Agreed, it was something the world and almost every country needs, he was just the extreme version of it

2. LOL, back to Kim Jong-Un. Not has funny when you have to translate though. Good ol Vladimir is ok for the odd meme as well

Trump was not all bad, but it was running at 150% stupid, his style may work in the corporate world but being a leader of a country requires some tact and diplomacy...as much as we might like too you just cant go around running off your mouth.

If I want to see comedy ill watch a movie or stand up, scary when its a leader of one if the most powerful countries in the world.

BTW, his "style" is also not really fit for corporate these days either, the man is a dinosaur, bit like that crazy uncle at the Christmas party who's had one to many.
