I am worried about the transition period though. Definitely a vacuum now and an opportunity for enemies. Couldn't be worse than the last time. Obama's team prepared loads of stuff- Trumps team turned up, went 'yeah, whatever' and here we are today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe giving himself more rope to hang himself? When Mr Biden does eventually become President-elect, Mr Trump's meltdown will almost certainly be richly comic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for trouble, as should have been obvious I would have thought. I'm not a US Citizen either - but I would hazard a guess it was because at the time the system was created it took a long time for news, results and any other communication to move around such a large country.

Newspapers in the UK don't come much more right wing than the DT. It is quite possibly to be relatively conservative (as I am) whilst still regarding this appalling fellow and his unceasing clown show of alternating narcissistic whining and uncouth unsubstantiated bellowing as gruesome! Classic funny political photograph! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthedarkside Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Lest anyone should think Trump is going to go quietly, at least for now, he's not: https://fox2now.com/news/politics/this-election-is-not-over-trump-campaign-releases-statement-as-vote-count-continues/ Quote The Trump campaign released this statement Friday morning: “This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final. Georgia is headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where President Trump will ultimately prevail. There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations.... And a newer version from Fox News: Quote President Trump has issued a statement reacting to news outlets, including Fox News, projecting that Joe Biden is the next president. "We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over," he says. "Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media," he said. https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results/live-updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that narrow. 45 didn't deserve or earn respect. He never even tried to be president of people or states that didn't vote for him after winning with a minority of votes. I agree that Biden has a massive challenge but he's been very clear he's here to be an American president for all Americans including his opponents. 45 would have been reelected if had done that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My line was just an opinion ,of what I think go happen , no matter which one is siding here , and also no further discussion by me as in a polarized matter as this I leave it to the Americans ....

Although the majority of the dead people were registered Democrats that isn't evidence that the intention was to vote for the Democrat candidate. Antifa is not mentioned. good point about failing at the first hurdle. It actually is contrary to any argument about fraud. Registration is not voting and this was caught at the first hurdle and went nowhere. The previous poster also said "do that 5000 times" and you get your candidate elected, except no, it failed, no votes were cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump shouldn't have even had a sniff of a chance in this election. Most decent people find him repulsive. The fact that at one point it looked like Trump could win a 2nd term says it all about how weak the opposition was. I'd be very concerned about that if I were a Dem supporter. The way I see it, Trump was just a warning shot to the woke brigade who were pulling things too far left. It was 4 years of punishment for them. I hope they learned their lesson.
