US Election

Another learned contribution from Pompous Pilate

Not really sure about your intellect/penis size obsession, but I do know there's a massive pric.k involved.

 

Keith Brown.

 

Yep massive.

 

I'd suggest you keep my family out of your puerile trolling if you want to continue as the board's village idiot.

It's tempting to take advantage of the wind-up merchant as a sort of surrogate punchbag. But the reality is he is of no significance.

The state of play is this. The election is lost for Trump. He has thrown up a smattering of legal actions - all of which are in the process of being laughed out of court - as a smokescreen to offer to his misguided supporters. Not a scintilla of credible evidence has been offered. If there was such evidence as to overturn the majorities Joe Biden has won in some of the crucial swing states it would amount to the biggest and most successful act of fraud in history. Nonsense. So, the electoral college will have to record Joe Biden as victor and President-Elect. Trump may refuse to concede, but a concession is not a necessity. His term as President ends at Noon on 20 January 2021. After that Joe will bring a semblance of decency and respect to politics in the most powerful Western nation state. It would be preferable if the Democrats could also gain bare control of the Upper House via the runoffs, but in reality Joe's biggest job challenge has already been accomplished. Hopefully it is a sign of better things to come and the turning point in the chain of events that has led to the election of such as Trump and Johnson. Johnson can agree a trade deal with Europe or not. But his espousal of the lawless provisions in the Internal Markets Bill will effectively mean that no deal with the EU will inevitably mean no deal with the US. That is a very friendless place to be, and will compromise Johnson's chances of serving out a first full term, let alone pitching for a second. Either he will back off and agree a deal, or he is more intent on self-destruction than we realized. But either way, things are embarked upon a long and tortuous process of returning to some recognizable form of sanity. It might take longer than we would like, but that is where we are headed, thankfully.

 

I so desperately hope that the usual tradition of former presidents forever being addressed as 'Mr President' isn't afforded to this abomination of a man. What a fantastic snub that would be.

 

Trump has won Alaska. It's official now.

Can't have been any fraud in that state. It must be entirely in places the Democrats have won.

 

Oh and I forgot.

Whether we like it or not and i don’t Trumpism is not gonna go away anytime soon if ever and could become worse imo.
The rise of the right aided by people in general in the states that idolises the man and his ideals .
71,000,000 million Americans voted for this cretin and his cronies knowing full well the policies and damage he has caused .
I don’t think it will die down to any extent that it can’t rise again and with the presence of his Family and the Cretins high in American society that supported him will tear the country apart .
I fear the US will steer very much further right and the advent of uncontrolled capitalism is inevitable .
The rise of the Right is in the US imo full flow and the political class won’t be able to contain and some to stay in tune will start to embrace it probably to an extent where most countries steer closer to them .
Frightening thought but Trumps TV company (to come) will coax the loony hollering brain dead yank into a frenzy where they even cheer their own demise .

 

Marlon, I live in hope that four years out will allow people to take a breath and for his supporters to realize what an absolute Jeremy they have voted for.

 

I hope you’re right but the size of his vote and the fact that the Republican Party are sh it scared of him and not only when he’s in office tells me there’s a lot more to come .
He’s rumoured to have fallen out with Fox and buoyed by his support to start his own TV company .
I think the next two years are crucial in US politics and if Biden doesn’t hit the ground running Trump will take advantage In any mean and foul way he can conceive imo .

Biden, although he appears to be an eminently much more decent person than Trump, will not in my opinion do much if anything to address the genuine concerns of millions of ordinary Americans. Normality will be restored for a while but it will be the same normality that threw up Trump in the first place. Either Trump himself will be back in 2024 or a much more competent nasty equivalent will be. Trump's base is still there and they're not going away unless there are significant changes in US society/economy. As I've suggested, Biden won't in my opinion effect any significant change, nice guy though he appears to be. Just my view.

 

Make no mistake. While this should be over it's not until a President is confirmed. The Trump campaign, backed by the GOP, is launching a multi pronged attack on democracy. Attempting to prove there is fraud is just part of it, an excuse in fact. They are using the fraud to legally prevent swing states from declaring for Biden, forcing arduous recounts and locking the states into legal battles to prevent them from completing their job.

If they can prevent a clear result being declared by December 14th then the decision technically defaults to a vote in the house of representatives where each region, not seat, gets a single vote. Under those terms it's republicans, not democrats that hold a majority.

It's still a longshot but it's a direct path to power for Trump. It's also the reason he's replacing pentagon and state department officials with extremely partisan allies. It would be them who took charge of enforcing his inauguration.

 

I'm expecting Tucker Carlson. Fox New's resident sociopath next. Trump may very well be locked in legal battles or prison if he fails to steal this election back.

 

I know very little about American Politics and have learnt more scanning this thread.
It seems a general consensus that Trump is just trying to cause some sort of issues (fraud)that don’t really seem to be there , but a question occurred to me.
Everyone seems to be assuming it’s Biden party being accused of the fraud, BUT could it be beyond the realms of possibility that Trump knew he would lose so committed the alleged fraud himself to set up Biden and create enough smoke and doubt?

 

He did tell his supporters to try and vote twice to test the system .
He did this in plain sight and during his rally speeches do I would say the answer to your question is a resounding yes.

 

The only person caught attempting to commit voter fraud so far this election was a Trump supporter. I have no doubt they would try to commit fraud if they could get away with it but for the same reason Trump's allegations are nonsense I doubt they'd be able to. The US voting system is impressively secure.

 

That’s exactly what’s happened.
Trump has engineered a distrust of the election process having encouraged his followers to have a go at fraud to test the system.
