The vot

Why would the GSA not recognize biden! Correct me if I'm wrong ! The vote in AZ hasn't been certified! 

Exactly! The vote in AZ has NOT been certified.  A group called Edison Research has called the state.

From the OP: "Biden was projected to win Arizona after more than a week of vote counting, Edison Research said."

 Looking through the Constitution, Edison Research is not even mentioned!  Sorry, but their opinion isn't worth a hill of beans. Nothing has changed.  12th amendment here we come.

Its the great flaw in the American system of democracy in the modern world, it just doesn't work any more. Central government is the only way forward. Amply illustrated by the pandemic response which should have been rolled out to all states from a single central body not allowing each state to go its own way. That's why there are so many infections and deaths in the US.

 

Another is the voting system. All states have their own electoral laws creating challenges and chaos everywhere. Also when electing the president of the United States, you are electing a single person representing all states equally. The electoral college system makes a nonsense of this. In a democracy its one person, one vote and the person with the highest number of votes becomes president.

 

Welcome to the 21st century.

The pandemic started in a country with central government.

Oh they know with certainty who’s right and who’s wrong I wonder if trumps attempting a coup that’s the only way he’s going to stay in power stonewalling in courts not going to get him past nov 20 he lost 

You're on to something, for once.  As reported by CNN, Trump has wiped out the upper ranks of the Pentagon.  Also, it looks like Haspel is on her way out.

Something is up.

I am a fan of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO who probably many on this site know. For two years he has been saying Trump won't leave. Guests would just laugh and go to the next topic. He almost seemed a bit obsessed sometimes. He can say I told you so now.

 

I've decided not to reply to comments from most Trump supporters on this site. They just make the same old comments straight from Trump or his enablers. No one is gonna change their mind so better to go for a walk than waste time.

Thank you.

The market is betting on Biden this time around, it bet on Trump in 2016.

My congratulations to the OP for starting a thread with so many comic posts, a bit like watching the Three Stooges.

Wrong.  The market bet against Trump in 2016.  I cleaned up.

tl;dr

Obviously Trump is going to win big time.  In a guaranteed honest election held on Nov 3, we could be talking as many as 500 electoral votes and 45 states for Trump.  A typical Trump rally has 30,000 people where as a Biden rally has at most 25-30.  The polls and MSM are biased toward Biden so the supporters can feel "righteous anger" and say Trump stole the election when he wins.  Nonsense arguments about the coronavirus being Trump's fault (Trump banned travel from China very early and was labeled a racist by Pelosi in SF Chinatown) as well as the "children in cages" BS have been effecrtively dealt with ("Who built the cages, Joe?").

Bottom line, the only way Biden can win is by election fraud.

I don't expect much of a bounce. People are mostly locked in. The thing is to hold on to his lead and resist the 45 steal the election dirty tricks. 

The Dems are handing the election to Trump. No chance Biden will win.

The best speech Biden has ever made. Now that's how a president should be. For all the people not only her fans. 

 

If he doesn't overcome the guaranteed dirty tricks of loser 45 we can write off American democracy as done and dusted. 

The speech was a joke like Biden himself. He turned off the small Dem triple-digit IQ crowd with his statement about climate change.

Biden needs to start coming out with some serious policy which he has been extremely light on thus far. Needs to make there be some clear water between him and Trump as just banging the hate Trump drum might not be enough.

Hate Trump is the whole thing. There is nothing else.

The WHO is an advisory body only as political decisions come from the nation states who institute whatever restrictions they deem necessary to deal with the Big Corona.

 

As it stands the three major failures in this regard are the UK,US and Brazil who can blame no-one but themselves for their antics.

 

Nonsense.  

The WHO failed miserably early on by saying travel restrictions were not necessary.

Many other countries are having trouble controlling COVID after doing well at first (Vietnam, Singapore for example).

The only "failure" country is China. They gave it to the world either by incompetence or design. The WHO does their bidding.

There is nothing wrong with Trump accepting the nomination from the White House. After all, he is the duly elected President of the United States.

The US Embassy has done something similar and none of this should be surprising.  There are plenty of flights out of Thailand to many countries and the few others can issue letters from their embassies in Thailand.  People have been warned so if there is no amnesty, they have only themselves to blame if they get caught out.
