    One Of Trumps Lawyers claimed one box of 18000 votes when opened were all for Biden with not one Trump vote among them :) Must have learned from the Bradford method lol

    0 evidence of widespread voter fraud, 0 evidence of any voter fraud actually at present. The trump campaign has failed to produce a single piece of evidence to substantiate any claims they currently have in the courts, principally because there isn't any. Even implying there is fraud when it's as blatantly obvious as it is that no fraud has happened at all is at best disingenuous and at worst anti-democratic.If trump had his way with these lawsuits, perfectly legitimate and legal votes (trump himself votes by mail) would be disregarded.

    Are you talking about the place where Trump supporters were trying to force their way in to join the already substantial number in the count, ot the place where it was on a live feed?

    There's fraud in every election around the World. 99% of the time though, it's so small it has no bearing on the result at all.

    I'm also more confident Trump will lose as Murdochs outlets in America are turning on him now. I hate Murdoch more than anything but he knows when someones about to become a loser.

    Ha ha ha ha ha.
    That's the funniest thing I've read in years. Biden is as middle of the road as it gets. Maybe lay off the hallucinogenic drugs for a bit, Tony.

    Sleepy Joe will be no friend to the UK. He will be typical of the IRA supporting Democrats and will do their best to thwart any meaningful post Brexit trade deal with us.

    Won’t be long until social media decides elections. I’m no fan of Trump but the way he’s been hounded and censored by the MSM is nothing short of sickening and anti democratic.
    I really fear for the future - it’s not going to end well.

    Having voted at 18 and then had a self imposed stance of not voting for reasons i've stated a few times, over the last few years i've really tried to get into politics with a view to reviewing my voting stance but the more i learn the less inclined i am. My opinion probably doesn't reflect others on here but all i seem to see is incompetence and hypocrisy. Your first sentence is quite poignant to me, as i've got older i realise my version of perfection, where fairness and common sense prevail, doesn't exist. I really wish it did.

    Unless both Georgia Democrats win the Senate run- offs in January Biden's going to be hamstrung by an antagonistic Senate led by Mitch McConnell which will block him every chance it gets.
    The point about Joe Biden is not so much about what he's going to do, as the huge damage he will have prevented by stopping another four years of Trump's wrecking ball. Even if he does nothing at all, the world, and the institutions of US democracy, can be grateful for his removal of the would be dictator.

    Lets not kid ourselves Steve, they're all frauds and charlatans. Trump just happens to be better than it than the others. Sad how politics is basically a shitshow where you look for the least fraudulent candidate to choose.

    Helps if you look at the whole quote. Yes he stumbled on the numbers, but the point he’s making is perfectly coherent and salient if you don’t cut out the second half of the sentence. What is going to happen to those people who survived if you strip out pre-existing conditions from the Affordable Care Act?

    Sharing this sort of bollocks is a big problem.

    The problem is that these videos spread like wildfire and they’re completely misleading because they play in to confirmation bias.

    People use this kind thing to form and forge opinions of people and situations. You probably didn’t know that wasn’t representative of what was actually said, but that’s what makes this kind of thing really dangerous.

    This one might have looked like he didn’t understand the concept of...’being dead’. But there’ll be another twenty going around that are cut to make it look like someone’s having their livelihood threatened.
