Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Helen Date: 14 Dec 20 - 05:38 PM It's done! By Peter Marsh Key Event Joe Biden has secured more than 270 electoral colleges, formalising his 2020 US election victory Of course, the state the pushed him over the top was California. With its 55 electors casting their ballots, Biden now has 302 electoral college votes, passing the 270 required to win. Only Hawaii's electors are yet to vote, which will bring Biden up to the forecast 306 total electoral college votes. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Dec 20 - 12:34 PM You can watch the Electoral College real time vote via the Washington Post. At the moment it is 82 Biden, 56 Trump. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 14 Dec 20 - 12:15 PM Well there's always the possibility Trump might try to throw his supporters behind the call of the Republiican Chairman in Texas for Trump Loyalist States to babpnd together and secede from the USA. But I'm inclined to doubt that would work out too well for them. Or him. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Dec 20 - 02:59 PM Is it over yet? When the electoral colleges declare (tomorrow?) is it all over or can the turnip still throw a spanner in the works? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Dec 20 - 12:31 PM I wonder of the UK betting parlors have any money on whether Trump will return to the White House after xmas holidays? There has been discussion of his walking away from it all now. (Wishful thinking?) |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: gillymor Date: 12 Dec 20 - 04:59 AM Ken Paxton, the Texas AG who's as crooked as a dog's hind leg, no doubt initiated this frivolous and ridiculous lawsuit in order to get one of those presidential pardons that trump freely doles out for his guilty, unpenitent and undeserving loyal allies.

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Dec 20 - 09:25 PM From National Public Radio:
The court's action came in a one-page order, which said the complaint was denied "for lack of standing." Texas, supported by President Trump, tried to sue Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan, claiming fraud, without evidence. But in order for a state to bring a case in court, especially the Supreme Court, a state must show it has been injured. In essence, the court said Texas could not show that it was injured by the way other states conducted their elections. As I explained to my wife, "lack of standing" means that it's none of Texas's goddamn business how Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan conduct elections within their borders. Texas may restrict absentee ballots and allow only one ballot drop box per county, but that doesn't mean that other states have to follow suit. We need to bring back the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and put a stop to these attempts to suppress voters. Hurray! -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 20 - 06:50 PM Scuttlebut says the Court will make an announcement tonight. You can guess my opinion. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 11 Dec 20 - 06:16 PM Has this case that Texas is bringing against the other states got any chance? Even if it has, surely if the votes are invalid in some states, they must be in them all? Don't tell me we have to go through this pantomime again! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 20 - 05:32 PM Republicans want to simplify elections with the Election Fainess Act. Heads Republicans win, Tails Democrats lose. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: punkfolkrocker Date: 11 Dec 20 - 01:11 PM Why do you democracy loving yanks so willingly gift one individual with such absolute powers of despotic monarchy...!!!????? .. hmmm.. thats a reminder to watch "The Madness of King George" again if it's on streaming... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 20 - 01:01 PM Of course even if Congress agrees to keep the government open, a gracious and thankful Trump has to sign it. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Mrrzy Date: 11 Dec 20 - 11:26 AM Three more days to another deadline... Supposedly the last one. On verra. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Dec 20 - 09:52 AM You can tell who the Trump supporters are these days. They didn't take down signs or flags after the election. They refuse to wear masks, or to wear them correctly. And when you ask them to put the mask on they're churlish or downright rude about it. They are among us and they mean to gum up the works if they can. They are proof that there is such a thing as contagious insanity. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 SEDITION against USA - BIDEN From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 20 - 06:25 AM Congress has until midnight tonight or the government shuts down on Dec. 18. Like cookies and milk or hot dogs with beans SHUTDOWN and SEDITIiON go together. The issues avoided are overturning a democratic election and any Covid relief bill for those facing eviction and food insecurity.. With the number of deaths equal to the battle of Gettysburg EVERY DAY from Covid disease in America, I would hope the Republican shutdown of government trick could be avoided just this once. I told you this was coming and now its here today until midnight. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 10 Dec 20 - 06:56 AM There is 989 hours to go. The Trump legal team did not decide to sue every single Democrat. INSTEAD they decided to have Texas sue all the battleground states that voted for Biden. This is more bizarre than my suggestion. I guess the point is to keep the process of legal challenge going no matter how absurd. I think they can PROVE ERECTION FRAUD but they can't seem to bring a single case of election fraud. With 3,000 deaths a day from Covid, any distraction in a storm will do. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 10 Dec 20 - 05:38 AM Keep your fingers crossed. There's a long time to go to till he's forced to leave the White House. There's a very good chance he'll have ignited a war with Iran in cahoots with Israel and Saudi Arabia before he's gone. Perhaps the best hope is that he keeps his intention on domestic matters, which seems pretty exclusively to mean, building his status as the record breaking vexatious litigant and serial loser of all time. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 08 Dec 20 - 09:44 PM Another fivolous trump lawsuit was given to the Supream Court. Today they said "talk to the hand, we're not even gonna listen to it." The trump team is actually sueing each every elector of the Pennsylvnia electoral college to not certify the vote. I think he won't give up until he sues every democrat who voted wrong, which should take about 4 years. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 08 Dec 20 - 03:43 PM No, i do not feel endangered by Trump. I think his domestic policy is very bad, he will be gone by the end of januaryhe has less power than he thinks he will soon be a back number. i feel sorry for people living in the states his incompetent handling of covid is more of a risk to them, than any usa attack on europe |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: punkfolkrocker Date: 08 Dec 20 - 03:36 AM Dick - are we here in Europe safer, or more at risk right now, as a direct result of trump's petulant erratically antagonistic foreign policy...??? I'd be more inclined to be worried about the latter... So far, we survived all the previous war mongering impulses of the USA.. Previous Presidents had some sane self restraint.. Ok, we might not cop it so bad if the missiles only fly back and forth across the Pacific...????? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 08 Dec 20 - 03:14 AM I am critical of his domestic policy. I was asking questions about his foreign policy in comparison with other USA presidents Dave Gnome points out that it was another president that removed and liquidated Saddam Hussein after the USA had been supporting him for years the usa WERE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS SUPPOSED MADMAN FOR YEARSand then happy to liquidate their puppet when it suited ,Trump was not in charge at that time. Trump has less power than he thinks and will very shortly be another back number. the USA foreign policy for years has been in invading and interfering in the middle east the far east chile cuba, none of which was Trumps fault. let us try and look at Trumps foreign policy rationally and analyse it and compare it to other USA presidents. Trumps domestic policy has been divisive and incompetent as regards handling of covid |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Dec 20 - 06:16 PM Everything is just about over, the final canvassing, the electoral college. I've read speculation that Trump won't return to the White House after the xmas holidays. Fine with most of us - it would give the National Park Service time to clean the place up and get documents to the National Archives. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Helen Date: 07 Dec 20 - 05:51 PM And that his closest affinity to other world leaders appears to be towards dictators. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: punkfolkrocker Date: 07 Dec 20 - 05:41 PM Dick - no point debating this with me.. I'm by nature wary of American political and cultural domination.. Despite me being a huge enthusiast for so much of the great USA music and movies.. You really need to ask our yank mates how much they are afraid of trump still hogging the nuclear bomb codes until he's dragged out of the white house...??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 07 Dec 20 - 05:34 PM Trump may have just been indulging in macho posturing. So was Saddam Hussein over WMDs. The USA got rid of the madman in Iraq and then voted one into their own throne. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 07 Dec 20 - 05:17 PM The key difference is trump is the mad man in power right now, with his itchy trigger finger hovering closer down towards the nukes button... quote there is no evidence of that, however stupid his home policy is as regards covid and wall building, and however silly his election crybaby tactics were |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: punkfolkrocker Date: 07 Dec 20 - 02:27 PM Dick - no I won't dance to your tune... You've got another bee in your bonnet which I will not indulge.. If for whatever perverse reason you are making a claim that trump is no worse than other presidents, and nothing quite as bad as h1tler or st@lin; so he's not really that bad a bloke.. go ahead.. knock yerself out.. Personally, I'd agree with you that US presidents are far too powerful for the rest of the world's good.. The key difference is trump is the mad man in power right now, with his itchy trigger finger hovering closer down towards the nukes button... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Helen Date: 07 Dec 20 - 02:04 PM He didn't need to invade other countries. His negligence and arrogance has killed nearly 300,000 of the American people so far. One in twenty of the entire population of the U.S. has been infected with COVID 19. To make it worse, one of his major promises was to disband Obamacare, and then health care became one of the most important issues to the people who were sick and dying. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Dec 20 - 02:01 PM Obama's POLICIES were pretty diametrically opposed. That Congress refused to meet with him and prevented any of them from being implemented does not detract from that. You can lead a horticulture... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 07 Dec 20 - 01:44 PM pfr could you back that up with examples of how his foreign policy was any more war mongering than the presidents i memtioned. i am not talking about posturing but about actual invasions of other countries , he did not invade vietnam afganistan iraq,or kiling allende or bin laden neither was he responsible for bay of pigs, i dont like him ok but answer the questions |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Helen Date: 07 Dec 20 - 01:12 PM Well said, pfr! :-D I particularly like the Trump toilet brush. It would be very satisfying cleaning the toilet with that big yellow brush springing out of a plastic Trump head. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: punkfolkrocker Date: 07 Dec 20 - 10:16 AM Dick - as far as USA presidents go, trump must be without doubt the worst shite of the lot.. Take all the shitty bits of all the other presidents. roll it up like a busy dung beetle would into a huge shit ball, then coat it in a thick layer of even more shit.. .. that's trump... For extra amusement spray the shit ball orange and poke a tuft of of cat's puked up hair on top... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 07 Dec 20 - 08:33 AM people on this forum thought that things would change with obama, but they did not OBAMAwas another puppet of a different colour, he was more personable and charming than trump, but how different apart from the wall were his policies? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: The Sandman Date: 07 Dec 20 - 08:28 AM Much as i dislike trump and his childish bullying tantrums, he was only a puppet, who really pulls the strings, and was he any worse than nixon or johnson or bush or any other of the warmongering presidents |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 07 Dec 20 - 07:44 AM The toxic elixers of the right wing while powerful are not why people show up at Trump rallies. They show up because they are all white. They are watching their slim majority and supreamacy now fade and fear the other colorful Americans. They cultivate victimhood of the wealthy white Billionares with boats, planes. mansions, banks and ... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7 From: Donuel Date: 07 Dec 20 - 07:03 AM Behind the kitchens of Trump hotel restaurants the dumpsters are fermenting and distilling a dumpster juice that is rotten but addictive. Sure it is toxic but artificially sweetened so the rotten after taste makes people drink more sweetened dumpster juice to hide the rotten flavor. Compared to salty Liberal tears dumpster juice has more appeal among people who don't drink wine. The older crowd drink beer with special additives. It was invented by think tanks that aspire to better politics through chemistry by mixing Oxytocin with Soma, blocking foward brain function while instilling a blind trust and unquestioned belief. |
