Problem with USA is Trump says there is fraud and the election was stolen-lots of bad things happened etc, and the uneducated dullard Republican members believe this and in their reality think it is up to the Democrats to somehow prove that this did not occur.

An Australian journalist best summed Trump up, he is a Narcissist who lives in his own reality, he was an actor who played a role in a reality tv show which was not reality by an unreality.

He makes up his own reality- and his dullard believers of his reality believed him- even regarding the Pandemic, and accepting his reality did not wear masks, and fell ill, including Trump's team including himself, Meadows, and now some 240,000 Americans dead.

Trump did not create the source of divsion in the USA and deep rooted resentments, he is a rat who smells things and simply opened the tops of all the rubbish bins to mine these veins of deep division and hatred that were already there.
well said, spot on

It appears from the contrast in change in tone from before the media’s announcement to after shows that many people are bandwagon jumpers. It would be interesting to see if people changed their own narrative should the voting be proven to be fraudulent and Trump stayed. I think Trump is what was needed in 2016 to shake things up. Had covid not happened to the world, he would be in for a second term. I’m not making a prediction about the voter fraud allegations, more just observing behaviour.

Riddle me this then . . . . . . . . .

Why are the Republicans accepting of the results for the Senate vote, but are not accepting of the vote for the President when they are cast on the same ballot sheet? If fraud is fraud, then fraud is fraud

The claimed voter fraud must have been really poorly done because the Democrats failed to really secure the Senate.
I've read the stories of brown paper being put up on windows of counting rooms and claims that this meant there was illegal stuff happening.
Personally after Trump got his supporters agitated and they turned up, angry and some reportedly armed I'd want the windows covered too.

Trumps claims re organised fraud by Democrats makes as much sense as the other bs theory about George Bush orchestrating 911.

Yanks love conspiracy theories and fall for them so easily. Any excuse to prepare for the end of the world or to fight back against 'the government'

The old line "If you're going to tell a lie make it a big one" is rampant over there.

My prediction is Trump may not attend Biden's inauguration or at the very least won't do a formal handover to him.
Trump's ego is way too fragile and this election defeat is eating at him. In business he's used to responding with legal threats so that's what he's doing again.

Listening to interviews on ABC's News 24 and yes they did cover the windows.

According to an official there more of Trump's people were allowed into the room to watch the counting.

But all those looking through the windows was worrying and very distracting for those doing the counting, so they covered the windows.

They want an accurate count with no distractions but imagine some of the crazed fools with their faces up against the windows likely banging, yelling and pointing.

Yes Communist China can do no wrong.

The Media truly do fear going for China's Communist dictator.
If Trump was a Communist the Media would fear him as well and would not print all the nonsense that they do.

Oh where will we stand with Communist China, To Hell with Communist China ! all dictators have to be stamped out.

Most of what you have said I've heard word for word from a couple of Trump supporters who I reckon all got it from Fox or Skynews.

I do think both Biden and Trump are too old to be running for President

Methinks that Trump is going to be smashed with outstanding court cases when he no longer has the protection of being President. There are many cases that have been started and haven't proceeded further as he has used the Presidency as an excuse. He may be better off seeking asylum in Ecuador.

Hopefully this is on top of the list.

https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein


Trump was alleged to have raped a 13 year old girl in 1994.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...awsuit-dropped

The woman dropped the lawsuit in November 2016. Two days earlier, she had been expected to appear at a news conference, but it was abruptly cancelled; her attorney, Lisa Bloom, said the woman had received threats and was too frightened to appear. Hopefully after he loses the protection of presidency, he's vile behaviour from the 80's and 90's with underage girls will be fully exposed.

The same Bush who won the 2000 election after challenging the result in the court and was declared the winner 40+ days post election?

I think we will be in for atleast 4-5 weeks of courtroom drama before this even looks like resolving, after all it took about that time for one state let alone four or five.

Yep - the same guy, didn't say it was not hypocritical, just when your own team comes for you it gets very hard.

Well if he didn’t say it in 2016, he would be a hypocrite for saying it now. But he did say it in 2016, despite winning. It was the Democrats who switched their narrative.

I had a couple of 'wow' moments last night, the first was on the media coverage of one of Trumps speechs, it was discussed on the ABC's Media Watch last night - most MSM stopped broadcasting him half way through due to the 'lies' he was stating, one Network actually did a lead in to his press conference and said 'what you are about to hear is lies'

The 2nd 'wow' moment was on Q&A on the ABC, I haven't watched it for a couple of years but couldn't turn it off last night - Malcolm Turnbull was on fire lol

That were great discussions about Trump and Murdoch Press

The "wow" moment should be the realisation that two prominent heads of state have yet to send their congratulations to Biden. These two heads of state were purportedly meant to have also helped Biden win through election interference. Trump was supposedly meant to have "stuck it up to em".

As to the options for Trump if the legal proceedings fail, as I said before, either a deal which involves a peaceful and orderly handover for immunity, or he'll go somewhere where he can complete the Trump Tower Moscow dream. He still has enormous power and influence in the GOP, and still has 70m followers, so he may actually stick around.

Noticed vaccine news came out over night. Chance or co-coincidence?
