Popular Post ricklev Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 3 hours ago, BangkokReady said: Winner hasn't actually been confirmed yet. Just the press are saying Joe won. A lot of suspected election fraud going on. Need to wait until litigation has completed and the result has been certified. Need to wait for official result. Edit: If you're so sure that Biden has won fairly, you should be fine for a recount and full investigation into possible voter fraud. If you have a problem with recounts or investigations into voter fraud, then you probably don't care about democracy and only care that Trump lost. "A lot of suspected election fraud going on." That is an excellent sentence! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't favor anyone as old as Biden being the leader of a country. The job of POTUS is simply too stressful for a person that old I believe. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump he seems to be having some issues several years earlier than any Mr. Biden may have.

Have there been riots? No. It would lead me to believe the businesses feared the liberals. Then you have been mislead. What they feared is violence from both sides. Trump supporters walking around with guns is still pretty scary to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, Tagged said: My experience it have always been like this, it just feels like it is a new thing. It's true that landslide presidential elections are rare. What's new is the record voter turnout and the extreme polarization of society. Those two facts taken together are ominous. The partisanship will not fade as it has in the past. Americans have crossed a threshold of misunderstanding that will not easily be reversed. I am sad to admit that despite trying I am unable to fathom the minds of the earnest Trump supporters. How can that possibly be good? Many friendships, marriages, and personal relationships of all forms have suffered irreparable damage from this divide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, BangkokReady said: Nah. This will drag out for about a month. Multiple court cases coming. It will be minor amusing 5th page stories only for the majority of Americans. It will be interesting only to those who believe it significant. It is not and will accomplish nothing; a tempest in a teapot. In fact only one or two cases at most will ever make the courts, and win or lose will change nothing. What will drag on for months, and will capture the public imagination is watching Trump implode and display his emotional and psychological deficiencies in lurid detail. In the best of all worlds some folks may even find it in their hearts to pity him. I will not be one of those. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, sucit said: I am actually very happy for you. If you love Biden and he is all you hoped for that is great. I just happen to think he is a corporate backed candidate, who was extremely hawkish on past wars, and there is going to be more of the same. I know my mom is absolutely thrilled right now. I don't necessarily tell her this, but as I have been saying, her exuberance is more about Trump losing. She went from not even knowing Biden exists during the primary, to thinking he is the second coming. It is all anti Trump filled emotion. Just my opinion but that is how I see it. I agree with your conclusion and your mother's attitude exemplifies my stance. I know about Biden only what I read in the media. What I know about Trump I Feel at a visceral level: he is psychologically twisted and dangerous. If he was a dog I'd eliminate him as a threat to myself or others. He is intolerable even as a human being but wholly unfit for any form of leadership position. He has demonstrated that throughout his whole term. He has accomplished little of what he promised before the last election and hasn't even bothered to make any promises before this one. His fatal mistake was to expect voters to judge him for who he is and not what he's done. That is precisely what they did. He is driven by emotion, incapable of introspection, devoid of empathy, psychologically damaged, prone to illogical and irrational thinking, easily mentally distracted, blinded to facts by ego, and cravenous for unbridled power. These are not the qualities of a boyscout leader much less the president of a world power. In summary, virtually anybody I know is a better choice than Trump. I did not vote for Biden, I voted against Trump. It was the only sane choice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, BangkokReady said: Yes. The dancing in the streets is for Trump losing, they don't know/care about who they elected or what he will do for their country. Seems like a win for their "team" but a loss for democracy. I partially agree with your first paragraph, disagree with your conclusion. Trump is a proven loss for democracy, a threat in fact. Americans know what they got from Trump and that more of the same was coming. Biden is simply a gamble and people came out in force to accept that bet. Biden has history and a record to guide voters. Trump is a failed investor who hosted a sadistic reality show and utterly failed to govern even his own babbling mouth while in office. It's clear Americans are willing to take a chance. Can you really blame them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, sucit said: "Finding inspiration" lol. You think that copying speeches is a forgivable mistake at these levels. Ok, fine. But I just have much much higher standards than that... I wont accept a candidate that says word for word what others have said in a sad attempt to gain popularity from past powerful speeches. What could drive such a person to do this? Thinking they can't inspire with their own words perhaps? Your post is laughable. Trump would plagiarize fairly tales if he had ever read any. As far as his words and your standards, can your truly say you are inspired or even moderately informed by the incoherent word salad the man speaks and tweets? The man can't read, can't write, can't spell, and can't even follow a script given to him by those who can. He is functionally illiterate. His claims to "stable genius" are ludicrous. I suggest you tackle meaningful arguments that you can actually support, as you generally do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, placeholder said: Where the margin is close thr state do revounts. And last time I checked the Trump campaign had launched 5 suits and not one of them alleged fraud. Does that tell you anything? Trump and his lawyers don't influence recounts. They are either mandated by state laws or requested by candidates with rational arguments backed by verifiable evidence. Losing is not an acceptable argument. Justice is blind but not stupid. He can "launch" as many as he wants but virtually none of them will float into a courtroom and any that do will not make any significant changes except to lawyers' bank accounts. But, hey keep checking and counting. It's now an even freer country than it was last week. No need to demand evidence, the courts will do that. It's bound to be as entertaining as Judge Judy...... probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rape be ok if it was in 1988. Stop rationalizing. Just accept that the president is a complete wreck. He is here because he is a bought candidate. You seem to confuse being bought with being a fighter. Rape was OK for Trump. Grabbing pบรรเes was OK for Trump. Publicly declaring his lust for his daughter was OK for Trump. Losing lawsuits for his fake real estate school was OK for Trump. Defaulting on business debts and multiple failed business ventures was OK for Trump. Violating the Federal emoluments law was OK for him and his family. These are all facts. And you are nattering on about plagiarism and unproven accusations of bribery? You can do better than this.

A number of meritless complaints have already been thrown out of court. And recounts rarely change the state totals by more than a few hundred votes. In the courts you have to have evidence unlike social media where you can say any plausible BS. Wait! What I say on social media has to be plausible?

sscc Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 November 2020 voting is all about PRO-Trump Vs ANTI-Trump, this had been all too clear midway in 2020 election. This 2020 election proved that Trump style is quite well received, except one trait. So I will not be surprised that a young version of Trump showed up for GOP in 2024 or even 2028. The sexism element of Trump is driving suburban females to for Biden camp and tilting the balance of the election. GOP is likely to recruit some presentable figure preferably 55 years old or younger and treading all the traits of Trump less the sexism and womanizing parts. This 2020 election proved that sexism does matter in American politics, but racism does not matter much. It won't be Trump again in 2024, neither will be Mike Pence.
