    Everything related to the race debate is seeing society become more divided, not less. I've always believed that the colour of somone's skin is an irrelevance, but so much of todays discourse is making is central to how people are thinking, speaking, acting.

    There is no way they will convict a police officer with murder, at best will be involuntary manslaughter This is why his defence team fought not to have manslaughter as an option,

    Controlling or manipulating would be a better term than ‘dealing’

    America is a shit show. My own beliefs are more aligned to the Republican Party than the Democrats, but the idea that these 2 blokes are the best that the ‘greatest nation on Earth’ can muster for a presidential race is laughable.

    The division in the US is as toxic and violent as its been since their civil war. What was really needed was a landslide victory either way. A narrow margin and a lengthy court battle is the last thing that the US needed. You can very much see widespread violence coming to the fore.

    All voting is open to abuse. All you need to know is a name and address and you can steal someone else’s vote. No ID checks or anything over here

    What is to stop people going in person to a Polling station and claiming to be someone else? They ask you if you have the slip/know your number, but it isn’t compulsory. In certain parts of the country the dead have voted!

    Very true there will always be unscrupulous people who want to cheat, maybe a way around that is for the individual voting takes their voting card you receive through the post (if your entitled to vote) unless you show it at the polling booth you don't get a vote, the onus is then passed back to the individual wanting to vote, I would assume that was the original reason for posting the individuals voting card through your letterbox as part of proof of who you were ?.

    If only, i am on PAYE, would be nice to fiddle the taxes and claim too much debt to make a solid contribution to the public coffers this year.

    That there is electoral fraud especially with postal ballots is without doubt a fact, It happens in every election, The question is how big it is and does it effect the result, In most cases it never gets near changing the result.
    What is more worrying if at all true is that the count was not independently monitored and monitors were refused access to watch and verify the count as this is where most mistakes are made in tight counts, One pile of voting papers on the wrong stack could change a result.

    No evidence to suggest any of that has happened whatsoever. Brooks Brothers all over again

    I've been watching the CNN coverage of the election fir the past couple of days. They've visited lots of electoral counting centres across the country. What is very noticeable is the openness of the counting processes. There are lots of monitors in the counting areas both representatives from the two main parties and independent monitors from a number of individual countries and international bodies. At many centres, there are large monitoring screens galore providing a great view of the counting processes themselves. TV cameras are allowed and provide a great insight into how the count is being managed. If there are any dubious practices, they will be seen by lots of different people across the world. The notion that independent and party monitors have been refused access has little if any credence.

    No doubt, if there are irregularities in the counting process, Trump and Giuliani will be providing evidence to the legal authorities. So far all that has happened are several allegations have been made but there has been no evidence to support them.

    It was nice to see the big networks finally actually do something rather than just let him stand there spouting blatant lies and falsehoods.I dont see how anyone ever calls him out on the fact he himself votes by mail, so does that make him a potential fraud by his own logic?

    Fox calling states for Biden really put the cat amongst the pigeons for Trump as well, apparently he rang up Murdoch to shout at him haha poor donny.

    Interesting how the Democrats apparently perpetrated massive postal voting fraud for the presidential election.

    But somehow forgot to do it for the Senate seats.
