    Must admit I thought that was a poor Analogy by @SuperTyke there.
    I think far more relevant is the scatter gun approach of court cases based on the flimsiest of evidence which so far are all being dismissed by in many cases republican appointed judges. If there really was widespread systematic fraud some cases would be at least getting to first base

    It’s the most watched election count in history there are bound to be some minor cases of fraud on both sides created by overzealous supporters but there is no evidence at all of a organised systematic fraud.

    Small point but election fraud is usually committed by the party in power as they are far better placed to control it. The fact that a proven liar who could see he was in danger of losing claims he only lost due to fraud should be taken with as much weight as when he said Corona was a democratic hoax

    No worries at all here mate. It's not my country and it's not my election!

    You would think in arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world that by now they would have a sophisticated system in place whereby there isn’t even the slightest potential for fraud to be perpetrated. Something like a blockchain system whereby even the smallest of frauds could be instantly flagged up and proven irrefutably.

    Perhaps after all this kerfuffle they will work on having something like that in place ready for 2024 so this doesn’t happen again.

    Re-tweet of a re-tweet, but interesting.

    This is important. John Roberts is extremely well connected in this White House. Sounds like the president may be looking to unhook himself from a hook that he chose to hang himself on #Election2020

    Fox News’ @johnrobertsFox reporting that the President will spend a few days talking to his legal team to see if there are avenues to challenge the result and if not he will concede and commit to peaceful transfer. To be clear, there is no evidence of widespread fraud.

    Loving you savaging the dead sheep on this thread. Very amusing.

    You’re not pushing anyone’s buttons. We are laughing at you not with you.

    I’m happy at that then. I fancy myself as a bit of a comedian and I’m ready and willing to help lighten the mood in these troubling and uncertain times. It’s community service and at the same time keeps me entertained so everyone’s a winner!

    I was going to tell you the joke about the baby-eating lizard people next but I’m concerned that BarnsleyReds might pop a blood vessel if I do. So, instead I think I might see if I can join in him on his one-man crusade to rid the world of the evil tyranny of internet misinformation.

    I’m not on any sort of crusade, mate. I don’t go looking for it, but when I see things presented as fact that I know to be false I feel the need to point that out. I actually researched the Dominion Vote counters a couple of days ago when I first saw the theory going around, which is why I knew how that particular conspiracy theory started.

    I just feel like we all have to be better with fact checking before we share information like this. I’ve been guilty of it myself in the past, without a doubt.

    ah. “Kayleigh - it’s too late to say you’re sorry, Keyleigh it’s more important to me now you’re gone.”

    One can deny her love for Donald. She sacrificed her marriage and her family for him.

    Well said young man. Everyone on here is entitled to their own opinion but I’m afraid they can’t have their own facts.

    That’s a very noble response. I haven’t got any axe to grind with you and I’ll gladly buy you a beer after lockdown.

    In the meantime, conspiracy theories aside, there will be some kind of legal challenge by Donald Trump and it will either be successful or not. I have no idea how things will pan out but I’m sure we will all have a better idea this time next week.

    it was only my opinion. I have no basis to call it fact!

    She has no morals. In 2015 she was slagging him off and calling him racist then after a colleague got her pissed and told her it would be good for her career to support him she abandoned all morals and everything she knew was right because she was only interested in being famous. That said she's always been an evil bitch

    I know someone through work that was adamant Covid was going to “go away on the 4th November”. He cant work out why they’re still talking about it. It’s really insane.

    Worth pointing out that the ‘President Gore’ newspaper in that tweet is doctored.

    Here’s the actual paper. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
