His victory was accepted as legitimate but not his presidency. Where I come from, politics isn't a disastrous mess. It seems to me (and all I see is news / social media) that the US is upside down and inside out. Most people in NZ think your country is broken. It's not just the republicans. It's everyone. Biden called Trump a clown during a presidential debate. You just called people who voted for him retards. It looks like a circus from where I'm standing. I don't see a big difference between right and left over there. It's all just a total mess and you all seem to be contributing to it all the time. No offense.

That's because the USA "left" is actually "center-right" for most of the world's standards.

Hey look! Evidence of attempted (not successful) electoral fraud! Guess who was attempting to do so? Here's a hint: It wasn't coming from the left! https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/07/us/pennsylvania-convention-center-arrests/index.html

Hey look! Fake news!

Here's what the (CNN go figure and no less) article specifically states:

"Details about the alleged fake ballots -- including where they came from, whether they were found in the Hummer, or what was marked on them -- weren't immediately available."

Doesn't sound like "evidence" to me (but pretty cool, albeit rather out of character, that CNN actually went to the trouble of using the word "alleged").

Whatever the case: I'd be more worried about the weapons and ammunition actually found. You never know. Could be that you live to wish that there is truth to the attempted electoral fraud and that those supposed fake ballots actually did make it to the count.

P.S.

Not dumping on you in any way. Just learned the hard way that if anything: the headlines are usually more of a problem than the contents.

If mail in ballots were anonymous, there would be election fraud. Think about it.



You too, bro. <3

Well. That was kinda my point, reasons for asking the questions that I did, as well as my acknowledging that the two were mutually exclusive of each other. :)

Yeah i've been over him for a while lol. Luckily it seems the vote counts in the states remaining are biden ahead by at lest a few thousand so even if they do a recount it's unlikely anything would change (if i remember correctly when they did recounts in 2016 it only changed by 100-200 votes)

What i can't ignore is how people are buying into his baseless claims which only further the idea of "fake news". Don't get me wrong i hate mainstream media (wikipedia is actually an excellent crowd sourced platform to avoid bias/sensationalism) but when people only trust Trump's twitter feed for accurate info that is a scary thing

Fair enough, obviously the weapons and ammo are of more concern. I somehow must have missed that the fake ballots weren't definitively in their possession. My point is really that every person on BL I have seen alleging some kind of voter fraud has been on the conservative side and has furnished zero evidence. As for what I live for? Someone remotely human in office again.

Biden defeats Trump for White House, says 'time to heal'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Saturday and offered himself to the nation as a leader who “seeks not to divide, but to unify" a country gripped by a historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and...

The moment has arrived!
 
Well. I'll not spoil the party tonight. Enjoy. In the meantime: guess it's time to start learning Russian (not that Russia was ever second choice but the thought of learning the damn language and written text is daunting to say the least)!

The above being said: there's still the Electoral College and hope for Faithless Electors (although given the history and statistics this spoken like a true Republican grasping at straws).

Absolute irony though: if this holds America's doors will be open to all including but not limited to the likes of people like me. Go figure.

Trump's the one who was so cozy with Russia. And nearly every other dictator. While attacking America's allies.

Anyway. It's already unlikely there'll be 9 faithless electors all for trump. And virtually no chance if Biden wins Georgia too.

Don't worry though, I don't think you can spoil this party. :D
