  1. He stated the day BEFORE the election that he would be filing lawsuits. He didn't even wait to find out if he was losing before doing so. He's been vilifying and making false claims about mail in vote fraud for the last 4 months to set up precisely this scenario. Of course it's a plan. But it's a plan based on lies and deception - not an open and fair democratic process.
  2. I hope he finds some really good Republicans to include. Not just a token one.
  3. I think the Electoral College is an awful system that at BEST muddies the vote for President and I would vote for anyone who ran on a platform of getting rid of it. Same as I always have. Heres the thing though. Biden still would have won if the electors college was replaced with a equal vote system. Trump wouldn’t have in 2016. Also, the patriots have just taken the US back.
  4. Right??? Holy crap it’s a breath of fresh air. Functioning adults who can give a presentation.
  5. Harris needs to spend the next 4 years doing NOTHING but convincing Republicans and Moderates that a female president isn't something to be afraid of, because my bet is that the Dems have her heading the ticket in 2024 and that could be a shitshow. We might end up with Trump Jr or Kanye...

    Q

    You already saw it. Magically appearing ballots, burning of Republican ballots, tens of millions of illegals voting, democrats holding republican voters hostage and whatever other total bullshit they can think of to convince themselves that it's not a fair election.
  7. Where does he think he'd go? Putin doesn't want him unless he's actually useful, and I doubt Trump would want to go somewhere his $400m debt would be called in. Europe would tell him to fuck off, as would most of the Middle East. I can't see China welcoming him and so unless he wants to go to North Korea and appear in monthly propaganda broadcasts, I'd say he's fucked on that score.
  8. Because it looks like he might not be president much longer and suddenly (and completely coincidentally) they've found a spine?
  9. Trump said before election day that he was already preparing a legal challenge, so that's an almost certainty. What an utter clusterfuck. These last elections show that America is so divided that whoever wins it's almost impossible to run it as a single country and make changes that work for a significant majority of the population. Split the US up into 3 smaller countries like Europe. Let them manage themselves with treaties between them.
  10. Unsurprising. Both the 'Trump effect' and the pandemic / massive drop-off voting means that traditional polling models were extremely unreliable.
  11. I posted this about a month after the Dems lost last time. They needed to send the message that 'we hear you' to the MILLIONS of people who voted for Trump. Instead they've spent 4 years pissing it away. What utter cunts.
  12. If the Democrats won both the house and Senate then gerrymandered the electoral college so that it worked in their favor, you'd be OK with that?
  13. I quite agree. I think Biden would concede. I don’t see Trump ever doing that.
  14. The mental health cost of this pandemic will be immense. I called it as soon as businesses started closing - most people simply aren't adjusted to working in isolation. We're social animals.
  15. You keep saying this. Do you understand that NO vaccine is ready for mass production now? And won't be for at least 8-10 months? Yeah, there are small batches available for testing but to ramp up to the quantities needed to actually get a dose to you (assuming you want one) if you're in a non-vulnerable segment of society will take a YEAR. You do not get to say 'I want a vaccine' (unless you're the president, I guess). I know this because I'm building a vaccine manifesting plant right now. Simply buying and getting the equipment made and delivered that is required for the manufacturing process is a 5-6 month lead time. I suggest you come up with a new short term plan.
  16. Once again Jonathan Pie absolutely NAILS it. I honestly think Trump will win - probably with the worst popular vote numbers in history, but the electoral college works in his favor and his fanbase will absolutely be out and voting in those states. Can we stop talking about the 'lead' Biden has, please? Not only is is BULLSHIT, but it's actually detrimental to the people who are generally talking about it. I really, really hope I'm wrong, but I'm genuinely losing sleep over this.
  17. It didn’t even occur to me that they could do this. That’s terrifying.
  18. Please don't destroy the world. While this year has been bad I could do without 2021 being the rise of the machines sort of thing!
  19. So now what you're imagining someone might have thought (but have no evidence for) is somehow a legitimate point of discussion?? Why do you even bother posting this utter nonsense?

    Just goes to show, you can get to be a 70 year old man without growing a spine or a set of balls. We might have discovered a new species. Homopoliticus Assholus.
  21. Technically nobody can identify a single law Trump has broken because he hasn't been tried. One day...
  22. I agree that it would probably increase voter turnout and put additional pressure on politicians to engage with voters. And I'd absolutely I'd be OK with it. Because it's the FAIR way of doing it.
  23. I think most voters don't understand the electoral college. I'm reasonably certain that if you went to any voter from either side and said 'Yes or No - Do you think it's fair if you only get 1 vote for President while that guy over there gets 4?' every single one of them would say that it's not.
