Title: Joe Biden is winning by a landslide

I imagine polling went like this.

Pollster: "Hi, I'm from the New York Times. Would you mind telling me how you would vote if there were an election tomorrow?"
Democrat voter: "I'd vote Biden. Orange man bad.

Pollster: "Hi, I'm from the New York Times. Would you mind telling me how you would vote if there were an election tomorrow?"
Republican voter: "New York Times? How about you f-off, you total disgrace.  >o<"
Pollster: "I'll pop you down as an undecided.

Conservatives in all countries are much more likely to refuse to disclose their voting intentions. This is likely because the New York Times et al frequently tell people they are stupid if they vote Republican. When a left wing journalist asks you how you will vote, you're unlikely to be cooperative with them. I wouldn't have '5 mins to spare' for the BBC for example.

^ I guess you would have something similar in the USA.


My verdict ... Trump will win again without breaking a sweat. By the time the head to head debate has happened and Biden is shown to be absolutely out of his skull with dementia, it'll all be over for another 4 years.

Thork, I want people to have that attitude. I want people to be paranoid that the Orange Man will win again,  despite the overwhelming evidence that he won't. Apparently it's the only way to energize enough Democrats to make a difference.

Except they wouldn't mention the New York Times.  Or any company name, to ensure unbiased answers.
Only if pressed would they say what their polling company or university is.

This is a very odd thing to say or argue.  By this logic, you should not care who wins any presidency as they have no power over you.  Obama couldn't take your guns, Trump can't get you jobs, nothing.

Hell, it means any military action ordered by a president has no impact, regardless of who dies.

You are a parasite on decent hard working Americans. And now you wish to impose your political ideologies on those living in the States without having to face the consequences of your vote yourself? Honestly, look at your behaviour and decide if you are a morally bankrupt. I'd say you are behaving as such.

Its not my fault they sent a check to people who live out of country.  They could easily have just not sent one to someone who works out of country or lives out of country, but they chose not to.  So yes, I took the check I was given, all $1,700, and cashed it to add to my home savings account.

As for consequences.  There are always consequences.  I may not have to live under his rule (unless he forces me back or invades Norway) but I am still bound by many American laws by virtue of being American.  I have student loans whose interest rates vary by the word if the Treasury.  Whose repayment terms are dictated by his choice of education secretary.  I file taxes in accordance to the IRS and current Tax laws, a major one of which HE SIGNED INTO LAW.

So yes, I don't have to live in Trump's America, but I sure as hell feel his shit.
I also have friends and family there.  So even if I don't live there, they do and I want them to have a good life.  Wouldn't you?

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-says-biden-would-destroy-the-suburbs-so-what-is-his-housing-plan

When an article strains to be critical of Biden, and somehow ends up as a glowing endorsement of his proposed policy. Biden's initiatives are stated in a Fox News article, without any attempt on their part to dispute the point, to reduce overall poverty by 22% and child poverty by 34%, all by (gasp!) forcing the suburbs to be more inclusive. I know, right? Pure evil!

I mean the subtext is that all of a sudden more people from urban areas (ie people of color, and obviously largely criminals) are going to move into the burbs and that's why what Biden is doing is "destroying the suburbs". I guess to the racists that make up a significant portion of Fox's viewership such consequences are terrifying.

It's just crazy that in attacking a liberal over a liberal policy, in the name of defending Trump's inane accusations, a conservative outfit can't spin things so that it really sounds like a bad idea. Unless, of course, you take issue with more people being able to make their way out of poverty, and conceivably move into your development. There goes the neighborhood, huh?

Its hard to spin it without either trashing the suburbs (So fox viewers) or outright calling city folk criminals.
Plus, I think Fox see's the writing on the wall and isn't giving it their A game right now.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-campaign-declines-fox-news-sunday-interview-chris-wallace

I mean, of course he does. And why wouldn't he?

Trump has been notorious for agreeing to nothing but softball interviews with personal friends like Sean Hannity throughout his presidency. This interview was not a sign that that attitude has changed; it's just a sign that the Trump campaign recognizes how far underwater he is, and it forced Trump to step outside his comfort zone. It was an act of desperation more than anything else.

Biden has no such problem. Biden has been doing just fine without having to subject himself to a difficult interview on a hostile network.

I'd decline the interview if I were him too. It was a publicity stunt for Trump. Biden doesn't need a publicity stunt right now, he needs to keep doing what he's been doing, because it's working.

And Fox News putting out an article challenging him for refusing the interview might feel good on their part, but it will have very, very little effect on the election, because the zombies that pay attention to Fox News have made their choice already.

Keep doing what you're doing, Joe!

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I have to admit I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the election than I was a few months ago. Trump is his own worst enemy, and he's doing far more to hurt his chances of reelection than Biden ever could. I'd like to see Biden also decline to debate Trump. He'll take a hit for backing out, sure, but there's no benefit in a debate for him. If he gets onto a stage with Trump, Trump will simply lie. He'll lie wildly and frantically, desperate to say something, anything that could narrow the gap between them. Why give him the opportunity? There's no point in having a debate if both candidates aren't making a good-faith effort to actually discuss the issues and let the voters decide which of them has the better stance on them.

Trump will declare it a sham election if he loses and can blame corona, to which everyone will go 'But you said mail in voting was full of fraud.'

I suspect you'll have alot of mail in voting tho.

What did Tara Reade say about the alleged assault?

Ms Reade, now 56, worked as a staff assistant to Mr Biden from 1992-93 when he was a senator for the US state of Delaware.

She has said that in 1993 he forced her against a wall and put his hands under her shirt and skirt, penetrating her with a finger, after she delivered him his gym bag.

In her most graphic, detailed account yet of the alleged assault, Ms Reade told US media personality Megyn Kelly that Mr Biden kissed her neck and told her he wanted to have sex with her, using an obscene term.

"So, he had one hand underneath my shirt, and the other had, I had a skirt on, and he went down my skirt and then went up and I remember I was up almost on my tippy toes," she said.

"When he went inside the skirt, he was talking to me at the same time, and he was leaning into me and I pulled this way away from his head."

When she refused his advances, she said: "He looked at me and said, 'What the hell, man, I heard you liked me'."

She added: "He pointed his finger at me and he said 'You're nothing to me. You're nothing'."

I'm not buying this argument against people for voting "against trump".

If someone is in power that is obviously a tyrant, guilty of treason, and other covered-up crimes, and you wanted them out of office, wouldn't the logical thing be to vote for their opponent? I mean, that's just common sense. You don't like someone, don't vote for them, and sometimes that means simply voting the other way - nothing wrong with that.

Trump is literally THAT terrible that so many Americans are going to settle for just "voting against trump". People might not be enthusiastic about getting Biden in office, but they are enthusiastic about getting Trump out of office.

That doesn't say anything negative about the voters, that says a hell of a lot about the POTUS.

You just re-worded my exact statement that you refused to buy.  ::)

If someone is in power that is obviously a tyrant
Do you know what tyrant means? Is he having people murdered? Is there a secret police making his enemies disappear? Is torture a regular thing in the US? Is he confiscating land and businesses? Is he removing people's right to practise religion? Is he enslaving people or creating a genocide? Dems are so babyish. There is no nuance, just like a child. They just throw our idiotic terms like racist, tyrant, orange man bad. What a pampered child you are to think Trump is a tyrant. Try living under Idi Amin or Pol Pot.

guilty of treason
I must have missed this trial. Can you point me to the case where he was found guilty of treason. Because if you can't, he's innocent until proven guilty and just because you screech guilty like a peasant at a witch trial doesn't make it so.

, and other covered-up crimes,
How convenient. He's committed crimes, but just crimes he covered up so as I can't verify them ... but they happened, because you said so.  ::)



I really hope your lot don't get in. Just look how you all behave. Hollywood celebs, the mainstream media in the US, and the braying harpies that support the dems. Squealing and accusing people of crimes that never happened because you don't like a candidate. Its fine not to like a candidate, but yours is the dishonest party. The party that tells all the lies. The party that divides with identity politics. The party that is filled with awful left-wing extremists advocating to defund the police, burn books and pull down statues, nominates candidates based on the colour of their skin, believes in the original sin of white privilege ... its a shit show and such a basket case of a party shouldn't be anywhere near power. Trump is positively sophisticated compared to your lot. 5 more years please America. We don't want a senile puppet with a Marxists hand up his arse for a leader of the free world, thank you very much.

Tyrant means someone who rules with absolute power - I believe Trump has been quoted saying something like, "The president has all authority".

There is also a thing in this country called "The Patriot Act" which allows the government to take people away (make them disappear) if they feel they are a threat.

Is torture a regular thing in the US?

Have you heard of Guantanamo?


guilty of treason
I must have missed this trial. Can you point me to the case where he was found guilty of treason. Because if you can't, he's innocent until proven guilty and just because you screech guilty like a peasant at a witch trial doesn't make it so.

, and other covered-up crimes,
How convenient. He's committed crimes, but just crimes he covered up so as I can't verify them ... but they happened, because you said so.  ::)



I really hope your lot don't get in. Just look how you all behave. Hollywood celebs, the mainstream media in the US, and the braying harpies that support the dems. Squealing and accusing people of crimes that never happened because you don't like a candidate. Its fine not to like a candidate, but yours is the dishonest party. The party that tells all the lies. The party that divides with identity politics. The party that is filled with awful left-wing extremists advocating to defund the police, burn books and pull down statues, nominates candidates based on the colour of their skin, believes in the original sin of white privilege ... its a shit show and such a basket case of a party should be anywhere near power. Trump is positively sophisticated compared to your lot. 5 more years please America. We don't want a senile puppet with a Marxists hand up his arse for a leader of the free world, thank you very much.

Who knows what the hell Trump is really doing. This is the game he plays - divide, concur, and confuse. I have no proof of anything I have just accused him of, but does that really matter what I accuse him of? He has shown his inability to be president - that is what matters. He has shown that he does not have your interests at heart - that is what matters.

I don't know for sure that Trump has committed these crimes, but I know for sure he only cares about himself - this alone is enough for me to not vote for him.

I could discredit your entire post but its like shooting fish in a barrel at this point. We'll just cut to the chase.

Well you just accused him of being a tyrant, a traitor and a criminal ... I'm hoping you know what he's been up to before you start accusing him of the worst possible things you can think of.

This is the game he plays - divide, concur, and confuse.
No, that would be the Democrat party. Black Lives Matter, Antifa, policed speech and thought, hate crimes. It is all about pitting people against each other based on inherent biological properties.

I have no proof of anything I have just accused him of
Wow. Just wow. And there is a motto for the Dems in this Presidential election. You summed it up in a sentence. That is the Democratic platform for the next election.

but does that really matter what I accuse him of?
Dunno. How would you feel about people libelling you? What if people said you were a peadophile on the internet. Would you like that? Is it civilised. Apparently it doesn't matter what people accuse you of and its fine even if they have no proof. Who looks like the awful weasel who would say anything to get their political way? You or Trump?

He has shown his inability to be president - that is what matters.
He's almost done 4 years. Where is the inability? He's still President.

He has shown that he does not have your interests at heart - that is what matters.
No, he doesn't. I'm British and as he said from his first day in office ... America First! He's got YOUR interests at heart. This is why he's trying to bring jobs back from China. Why he isn't starting wars so young men like you aren't coming back in body bags. Why he is trying to reduce illegal immigration to prevent crime and a collapse in wages for US citizens. If you had any perspective, you'd look at what he has ACTUALLY DONE and realise he's been a pretty good President, despite the dems trying to block progress at every turn. So he says dumb stuff some times. But his actions are those of a good President. He does the right thing 9 times out of 10. No Dem would get close to that. Too much corporate interest.

I don't know for sure that Trump has committed these crimes
then how about you stop accusing him of them. It is you that then looks like the morally devoid one. Not trump.

No, you don't know that either. Stop talking off the top of your head as though your unfounded statements are real.

No. You're a leftist. A narcissist. Its you first. Not America. You want people to say you are virtuous, and you will stand up for other people's rights. Not because you care about them. Because you want the virtue. You'll speak up for them, not because you care about their plight but because you want to wrestle the mic off them and make yourself the centre of attention. You want people to think you are brave standing up to a tyrant ... when you aren't in any danger at all because TRUMP ISN'T A TYRANT! You're a self-absorbed leftist baby ... and this is why you vote Dems. Its nothing to do with Trump in the slightest.

The Senate acquitted Trump of these charges on February 5, 2020. So Dems all voted him guilty ... because just like you they don't care about the truth, only the result. Not one Republican agreed.

He is a tyrant. He has been restricted in his ability to act on this because of the American process - thank god.

He has shown his ability to be a tyrant in his first few months in office when he separated children from their parents because their parents didn't have the right to be in the country - the children, on the other hand were innocent, and they were immorally oppressed by the POTUS.

Along those same lines, Trump has called for "foreigners" to leave the country time and time again. He is doing it now with international students by sending them home if they can't otherwise be present for classes due to coronavirus - oppression.

Trump has taken rights from the American people when he used federal police officers to illegally remove citizens from expressing their constitutional rights.

This is all oppression.

Trump has made statements about his "total authority", truly believing that he is the be all, end all. He would exercise this delusion if he could.

The fact that Trump has been held accountable by the American process has prevented him from becoming full-fledged tyrant. That doesn't mean he isn't one, and wouldn't be one.

All of the above is more than rhetoric - these are the actions of one man.

So people who broke the law were separated from their families? Yes, this happens in every country on earth. It is called prison.

Along those same lines, Trump has called for "foreigners" to leave the country time and time again. He is doing it now with international students by sending them home if they can't otherwise be present for classes due to coronavirus - oppression.
He doesn't represent foreigners. Foreigners don't vote. He represents Americans and American needs. And getting rid of criminals, illegal immigrants, trafficked people and terrorists is his job.

Trump has taken rights from the American people when he used federal police officers to illegally remove citizens from expressing their constitutional rights.
Citation please.

This is all oppression.
It is called maintaining law and order. Supporting a party that wants to defund the police, I guess you aren't going to be able to grasp that one. Seems you prefer anarchy and an unsafe society.

Trump has made statements about his "total authority", truly believing that he is the be all, end all. He would exercise this delusion if he could.
He is the most powerful man on earth. What is your point?

That's like saying your father would be a peadophile if there weren't laws to prevent peadophilia.

Before the election in 2016 everyone knew that Trump would lose.  Then he didn't.

I think Rushy has a solid point - no one is excited about Biden. Like, literally no one.  Plenty of folks are still excited about Trump, even if a minority overall.  The elections are always decided by the center. And the center gets slightly pulled to the side that has the most passion overall.  Obama is a fantastic example of this.

I am not particularly a fan of Trump, but I think he has a decent chance.

One thing I read was that after the DNC convention there was a DIP in polls favoring Biden. That basically never happens. Conventions lead to (temporary) bumps in the polls for that side.  But the opposite happened this time for the the DNC.  Could be a symptom or example of the lack of enthusiasm for Biden.  That could be hugely problematic for the DNC...

This is a one horse race. Are you for Trump or against Trump? No one cares about Biden.

We need people making completely reasonable arguments about the danger we're facing in this election.
Why are Democrats always so melodramatic? There is no danger. You might not get your first pick of President but its not the end of the world.

You can never count Trump out,
Rule him out? He's going to win. What kind of echo chamber are you living in to think a man with full blown dementia is going to be elected by middle America instead? Also Biden being weak on crime is the final nail. You can't side with rioters and those advocating to defund the police. What an asshat.

Then they need to stop watching so much CNN.

1) The US media is almost all left wing.
2) They know that many left-wing Americans are narcissistic babies and will only vote if they think they will win. Seems so many Americans hate losing that they won't vote for a candidate that will likely lose. The left are always told that they will win.
3) Conservative voters are much less likely to tell posters their voting intentions as left wingers tend to get violent.
4) Many young people (who are much more likely to vote left) tend to be very vocal about their voting intentions and then don't bother their arses to vote on the day. Same with the hispanic vote.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shy_Tory_factor
The shy Tory factor is a name given by British opinion polling companies to a phenomenon first observed by psephologists in the early 1990s. They observed that the share of the electoral vote won by the Conservative Party (known colloquially as the "Tories") was significantly higher than the equivalent share in opinion polls.[1] The accepted explanation was that so-called "shy Tories" were voting Conservative after telling pollsters they would not. The general elections held in 1992 and 2015 are examples where it has dramatically affected the overall result, but has also been discussed in other elections where the Conservatives did unexpectedly well. It has also been applied to the success of the Republican Party in the United States.

+6% means you guys will get wrecked in the final reckoning.

All these partisan warriors are missing the fact that Trump was a gigantic piece of shit long before he became president. Because the American public has the attention span of a house fly, they've forgotten all about Marla Maples, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump University and all the other bullshit that is his life. This has nothing to do with left or right media, his public life is decades of scandal and failure. But some stupid catch phrases and empty, impossible promises is all it takes for dumbass people whip out their credit cards to order now. This man destroyed his family's fortune, crashed a half dozen companies into the ground while saddling all those small contractors with the cost in bankruptcy filings. American finance institutions won't go near this guy but the ignorant public is buying his ghost-written books on business. His only real success money-wise was stamping his name on cheap imported crap and selling it to dumb rednecks. Then he shot himself in the dick with his "MAGA! Made in America" routine, and destroyed that business too.

But, this is where the Democrats will lose. Their trying to use logic and truth on a public that believes the garbage they read in the National Enquirer. If the Democrats, "Go high when they go low," they're going to get kicked in the nuts again.

I'm a politically conservative Libertarian independent who owns guns and has a concealed carry permit. But because I'm not stupid and I don't eat his shit, he calls me a liberal globalist who hates America and wants to take your guns. Fuck him.

He's using the conservative movement, the Republicans, the Evangelicals to further his agenda just like he was using Hillary Clinton and the Democrats a few years ago when they suited him.

Thork lives in a fantasy world. No incumbent President with a favorability rating under 48% has ever won reelection. Trump's has never gone above 42. Biden is still kicking his ass in the polls. There's simply no logical reason to think Trump has a better shot at winning right now.
Biden is only leading by 6 percentage points? Biden is toast.

Yes, yes. Keep sowing that fear! Democrats not showing up to vote is exactly what I'm afraid of in this election, and the Right's constant assurances that Trump will win despite what the polls say is the ideal antidote. Thanks again for your contribution to the cause!

Many years ago Trump owned an airline called Trump Shuttle. Here is what one of his former employees (pilot) had to say about him.

Quote from: ex-Trump employee
It really wasn't a failure. I think it was pretty successful. I mean, Trump saved our careers, I mean, absolutely. They really took care of their employees. My wife, who had breast cancer, the CEO of the company, he said, "Hey, any bills that aren't covered, just leave it on my desk."

I left some bills on those desks. It was like, I don't know, a $30,000 pharmacy bill. You know, that's how I was treated, and so I'm sure that came down from Trump. I don't have anything bad to say.

Today, the US Air Shuttle is known as the American Airlines Shuttle. It serves New York, Boston, Washington, and Chicago.

Could you imagine Biden doing that in your wildest dreams?

You're quoting Trump generated mythology and believing it.

Trump fired 100 employees. Just 18 months after the Trump Shuttle launch, the airline had already lost $128 million. In 1992, Donald Trump decided it was time to bail. Trump Shuttle's majority stakeholder, Citigroup, started negotiating a sale with US Air, who still saw value in the product. Donald Trump claimed he didn't lose money on the shuttle. He told the Boston Globe, "I'm smart. I got out at a good time."

So you're saying that Trump personally knew that one guy who worked for a company he owned but didn't manage and told the ceo to cover medical bills not covered by their crappy insurance?

No.  Its far more likely that the CEO did it themselves, hiding the bills in the company's finances.

Now that the RNC and DNC conventions are over, what are the best guesses?  Who is REALLY going to win?  Biden is up by around 6% right?  But hasn't that gap been narrowing for a while now?  It's still two whole months away.  Is Biden a sure thing, or does Trump have a good chance?

Trump's premise from the convention is largely;

"Look at all the riots that are happening under my Presidency, right now. This is what you'll get if you elect Biden. Vote for four more years of me"

The sub-text to that is "... so that... we don't get more of the same. Even though this is what's happening 3.5 years after I took office"

One thing the polls do not show is the huge numbers of life long Republicans that will hold their noses and vote for Trump.   Too lazy to look it up but a recent poll showed that a large number of people are not honest with pollsters.  Many people are afraid of repercussions if they announce for Trump.

That is an interesting point.  Given that Trump has utterly failed to influence any real police reform (qualified immunity, training, all sorts of potential measures), it's kind of laughable that he would blame Biden for these riots.  Hilarious in fact. 

I can't say I've seen some realistic plan from Biden on how to address and stop the riots, though, either.

But the larger point of discussion would then be - are the riots going to help Trump (because law and order) or help Biden (because police brutality) ?  I can kind of seeing it go either way.

Yeah, that could be.   So, let's say that phenomenon has a 5% impact in favor of Trump, such that he's 1% below Biden (which is the same as saying they are exactly equal, given polling norms of errors), this means it could go either way and we have no idea.

So, before Nov. 2, 2016 Hillary was pretty close to certain to win. But now, Biden merely has an equal chance?  This is strangely turning out to be a fascinating race.

Given that the protests are against police brutality, and Trump wants to meet this with more brutality, I would dismiss his plan as unrealistic. If pushed to the extreme, this could bring the country to civil war again.

Unaware of it being explicitly stated, but police reform and reduction in police brutality/ethnic bias would seem to be Biden's best option.

Take this as an opportunity to think about your constant reposting of that one photo of Trump. At least Tom uses multiple images, and keeps them roughly up to date.

And Biden has never been in favor of rioting.
I dunno, he's been pretty happy to talk to BLM'ers, proudly announcing that he would totally, definitely not use them for political gain, and that his support for them is purely based in a heartfelt feeling of racial justice. As BLM's support is now plummeting, Joe will have to make some difficult decisions about who to side with. Or maybe it'll stop plummeting and JB will enjoy a free ride on the subject. We'll see.

More than 180,000 lives in just six months, an average of 1,000 people dying every day in the month of August. Do you really feel safe under Donald Trump?

Yeah, he mispoke.  He got ahead of himself in his speech.

Actually Hitler rose in power by using fear tactics to scapegoat the destruction of parliament on Dutch immigrants (his party did it) to give the Chancelor extra powers, then became Chancelor by blaming all the problems everyone had on minority groups (immigrants, disabled, gylsies, jews,etc..), encouraging violence against them, then promising to 'keep them safe away from us' by loading them on Trains.

Because the American public has the attention span of a house fly, they've forgotten all about Marla Maples, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump University and all the other bullshit that is his life. This has nothing to do with left or right media, his public life is decades of scandal and failure. But some stupid catch phrases and empty, impossible promises is all it takes for dumbass people whip out their credit cards to order now. This man destroyed his family's fortune, crashed a half dozen companies into the ground while saddling all those small contractors with the cost in bankruptcy filings. American finance institutions won't go near this guy but the ignorant public is buying his ghost-written books on business. His only real success money-wise was stamping his name on cheap imported crap and selling it to dumb rednecks. Then he shot himself in the dick with his "MAGA! Made in America" routine, and destroyed that business too.

This is all true, but arguably The Apprentice was the biggest vehicle for Trump's rehabilitation. I know I've linked this article (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/01/07/how-mark-burnett-resurrected-donald-trump-as-an-icon-of-american-success) before, but I want to encourage anyone who hasn't already to read it, especially people who may not realize how heavily scripted the show was, and how deliberately it manufactured the idea that Trump was a great businessman. Before that show, everyone knew that Trump was a joke.

Take this as an opportunity to think about your constant reposting of that one photo of Trump.

That was months ago. I haven't done that since totallackey appropriated it and made it a pro-Trump image. It is now powerless as a symbol in my hands. :(

I'm pretty sure I know which side Hitler would vote for.

Nazi ... national socialist ... he'd vote for Bernie. Bernie also likes shouting and demanding to take money off rich Jews.
You do know that Most Authoritarian governments are Right, politically, yes?  Liberals have democracy, Conservatives have dictators.

Demonstrably false.

With the exception of the nazis who were painted as right* (they aren't right wing but we'll look at that in a second), almost all authoritarians are left wing. Of course they are left-wing, it is the left who believe in huge all powerful governments that control every aspect of their citizens lives. Other than nazi Germany who aren't actually right wing, you'll have to google to name another one.


*There was no fundemental difference between what Hitler did and what Stalin did.

Both used secret police.
Both sought to control the means of production
Hitler persecuted the Jews, Stalin persecuted the kulaks
Both were happy to kill millions
Both wanted to expand their borders via conquest
Both were dictators

So after WW2 when the allies were deciding to write history they made some important choices.
1) It wasn't the Germans ... it was the Nazis. Germans good, Nazis bad.
2) Nazis are right wing and communists are left wing. They are not to be described as like Russians. They must be the other end of the political spectrum. Couldn't be further apart in ideology ... except for doing all the exact same things, of course. Stalin would not let Nazis be painted as both bad and having similar ideology to Russians. There is no such thing as right and left wing before the late 1930s. It's the same kind of bodge that says Nazis are evil, Germans are good.
What you actually have are authoritarians and libertarians. Authoritarians are dangerous. The Democrats are dangerous. They are the party looking to restrict your freedoms and dominate every aspect of your life with big government. Yet you still want to vote for the evil party. Just like the Germans Nazis.

Without Googling, two very obvious examples of right-wing authoritarian regimes are Spain under Franco and Italy under Mussolini. And yes, the Nazis were also right-wing. The word "socialist" being in their full name did not make their actual policies and governance socialist. I don't know what all the talk about how bad Stalin was (he certainly was very bad) or how Germans are good while Nazis are bad has to do with it.

Of course, the name makes no difference. It's their economic and social policy that does. It gets a bit overshadowed by the whole "psychotic genocidal dictatorship that waged war with most of the world" kerfuffle, but there was a lot of left wing sentiment in the kind of support they provided for their working class.

The "fun" part here is that different people use "left" and "right" to mean different things, mostly because the division is so outdated that it can't really apply to anything remotely recent.

*Googles*

Well that took me about 2 minutes. He's clearly referring to Lewis Latimer:

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/04/us/biden-lightbulb-black-man-trnd/index.html

Quote
As far as we know, Edison did invent the light bulb, but a Black inventor named Lewis Latimer actually made it better and more accessible.
After years of experiments and thousands of tests of various filament materials, [Edison's] longest-lasting light bulb could only last for about 15 hours before the filament burned out.
Around the same time Edison was experimenting with his bulb -- using carbonized filaments of bay wood, cedar, bamboo and other fibers -- so was Latimer.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Latimer improved upon Edison's original design. Latimer created a light bulb with a more durable filament made of carbon. He sold the patent to the US Electric Co. in 1881, and a year later patented a process for efficiently manufacturing the carbon filament. He even wrote a book in 1890 on electric lighting, the first of its kind.
Because of Latimer's contributions, incandescent light bulbs became more affordable and practical, MIT says, thus transforming American culture.

So I guess the point he's making is why is Latimer not better known in which case he has a point.
It was pandering to the audience he was talking to but I'd expect that from a politician. Biden's opponents will obviously try to spin this as "the old man's lost it", but he is referring to historical truths even if he somewhat twists them. It's hardly the Goodness Gracious Me character who claims everything is Indian.

Because who the hell cares who incrementally improved a light bulb once upon a time? That's like saying Henry Ford invented the car but *insert black man* invented the clutch and so clutch guy needs more recognition. Unfortunately clutch guy happens to be Professor Henry Selby Hele-Shaw who was a white guy so instantly Biden isn't interested. But why should I or anyone be interested in filament guy? Because he's black? That's racist.

There' I've even bolded the most important part for you.
Henry Ford didn't invent the car by the way, from what I understand he invented the production line, but anyway your comparison is ridiculous.

Quote
But why should I or anyone be interested in filament guy?

Because of the bit I've quoted, particularly the bolded part.
So yeah, Biden was pandering to the audience he was talking to and to say Latimer invented the lightbulb is a stretch.
But your initial post implies he said it because he's confused, when a 2 minute Google shows pretty clearly what and who he was referring to.
One could argue that saying it to that particular audience was a pretty shrewd thing to do.

So which is it? Is he pandering to a crowd in a politically smart way, or is he a dementia patient? He can't be both.

Less than 5 mins later ... to paraphrase Biden ... why in God's name don't we tell the truth about mixed race families? They are very rare. Less than 2% of the US. The man is a sinister hypocrite.

He is trying to paint white Americans as guilty of an original sin. Being born white and so somehow guilty of slavery. Despite no one alive having anything to do with slavery. Like the media he's constantly painting black people as heroes and victims and white people as evil greedy oppressors. White Americans need to stand up for themselves.

Systemic racism is something that Western Marxists have developed over time, its rooted in critical theory (CT) , specifically the subset critical race theory (CRT). It takes the classical Marxist oppressor-oppressed dialectic conflict and turns it onto race. Race was not a major aspect of Marxist theory in the previous century because it was thought to be simply a type of class conflict. The new age of Marxists that follow CT actually believe that the oppressor is creating a system of oppression from which he can benefit, thus when they say "white supremacy" they mean the oppressor is maintaining the system of oppression for his own benefit. This is why you don't have to actually be racist to be a racist supremacist, because systemic racism and racism are fundamentally different things. Basically,  you are racist if you don't want to destroy the system so that's why they are destroying the system: to prove that they are not. There's a lot more to write about this, but to keep it short: anyone who uses language like "systemic racism" is engaging you in open warfare, they are your enemy, they want you dead.

If you are white and you are voting Democrat, your have learning difficulties. Listen to what the man says ...
https://youtu.be/dcx6_2LmcG4?t=4912

He just accused you of original sin. You are white and therefore guilty of a crime. If someone accuses you of an original sin, they are saying that you are the enemy. There's no trial. There's no jury. The evidence is that you are white and therefore you are guilty. There's no redemption. No forgiveness. You are evil because you exist. Americans need to kick the Dems and their race baiting into touch in the election. We did that in the UK and both the lib dems and the Labour party are now being cleansed of these revolting ideas. You don't vote for a party that paints you as wicked. That's just stupid. And I don't think Americans are stupid. I think Trump's got this.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/

Trump didn't explicitly say, "Nazis are very fine people." Of course he didn't. But the Unite the Right rally was openly, explicitly racist. It may have been inspired initially by the removal of Confederate statues, but its participants wore their hatred on their sleeves, making that the overriding theme of the event, and one of them ended up murdering an innocent woman. This should have been an easy straightforward condemnation for Trump. One side spewed hatred; the other did not. One side murdered someone; the other did not. But he couldn't do it, not without weakly blaming "both sides" and pretendng the rally participants were anything more than hateful racists.

He waited 48 hours until he had the facts and then condemned the Neo-Nazis.

It didn't take 48 hours to figure out what had happened. He eventually condemned the Nazis only because he had been relentlessly blasted for not doing so immediately.

He read a speech condemning white supremacists but then after that, when speaking candidly, he said there were “many fine people on both sides”. So every time he spoke candidly he did not condemn white supremacy and only spoke words of condemnation when they were written by someone else.

But let’s be clear. I still think any attempt to imply some sort of culpability for slavery to people living in 2020 is reprehensible.

Mixed race relationships were illegal for explicitly racist reasons until 1967 and it took a long time for them to be portrayed without controversy.  His point about that was how far we have come as a society, how much less racist we are.  If he were solely propping up woke culture, this statement would not be made.

You honestly can't assess his words dispassionately.  He said that "slavery and all it's vestiges" are the original sin of the USA, not white people.  I know American's, who were in high school in the 90s, who had no idea how central slavery was to the Civil War.  The USA, in many places, does not want to confront the mistakes of history and how they may be continuing today.  Acceptance of history is extremely important to a large part of the constituents he wants to represent, and if he can address that without inflaming tribal emotions, then it's a good thing.  I am not sure he can though.

The rich pay the most tax. By definition any tax cut benefits the rich. Why don't you understand these very basic economic principals? You keep tripping on them. The top 20% of earners in the USA pay 95% of the tax. Of course any tax cut benefits the rich the most. They pay all the tax.

But cutting taxes simulates the economy providing jobs and boosting pay and can actually increase tax revenue.

Cutting taxes only stimulates the economy if the corporation receiving the tax cut reinvests the savings. Theory is different than practice. I would think that you would understand that considering how deranged you are about socialism.

According to the congressional budget office, tax cuts to corporations caused a loss of jobs in those entities, even while jobs were increasing generally. They also found that tax cuts to the middle and lower classes were more effective at job creation than cuts to the upper class.

Guess what was more effective at driving job creation than tax cuts?

Collectivism is fine when applied to people who require help in society. A great example being children. They tend to be shit at most jobs and so we don't make them work any more. This means children don't have any money and it isn't their fault they don't earn any money. They can't realistically earn money. And everyone was at some point a child. So it seems entirely reasonable that everyone should get a free socialised education as a child, and you can start putting back into the system once you are old enough and repay society's investment in you. The same could be said of healthcare and dental for children. They need it, and its not their fault if they have terrible parents who can't earn a living or are dead or whatever. No question, socialism for kids is a great idea.

But socialism for adults is abhorrent. The world does not owe you a living. You had your childhood. Now its time to grow up and stand on your own two feet. Buy health insurance. Get a job. I don't care if your gangrenous foot drops off. Its not my problem. You're an adult. Look after yourself. I don't want to look after you. Stop demanding the government steals my money to make up for your shortcomings.  >o<

Yes, and if you want to argue that he's done it insincerely, I have no issue with that.

What annoys me is people repeatedly demanding that he stands on a pedestal and says "racism bad", until he eventually caves in and says exactly that. Then the narrative shifts to "okay so he did say it but we didn't actually want him to say it, not like that".

If you think the man's a racist, then demanding that he says otherwise won't change anything. You'd practically be asking him to lie, and you're pretty much guaranteed to be unhappy with any response he makes.

Right. I agree with you to an extent, although as always you've phrased things in a particularly Thorky way.
But there is no doubt that privilege exists. Not "white privilege", but in general.
The video you posted says Bob teleported across the river, implying he didn't have to do anything. That's obviously bollox.
I had to work hard to get my degree and career which has enabled me to buy quite a nice house. It wasn't just given to me.

But, and we've had this conversation before, I recognise that I had advantages from growing up in a stable home with 2 parents and while we weren't rolling in money we were comfortably off.
Dad made some investments for me which helped with the deposit on my first place and I'm old enough that I was able to scramble on the property ladder before the bottom rung went out of reach and that enabled me to take the step up to the place I have now. Kids starting out now have no chance.

You gave some stats about how much black people earn in the US, I had a look and while you're right, that's only 2/3rds of what white people earn. Boo! Racism! Right?
Well no, because Asians in the US earn more than whites, on average. Because they have a real culture of working hard and there's lots of family pressure for them to succeed.
The issue for black people in the US is historic racism means that, on average, their starting point is lower. So while in theory the opportunities for them are the same as for anyone, in practice it's not as easy for them to climb the ladder, they have further to climb, statistically speaking.

I literally have no idea how you got any of that from what I said. I simply think getting people from disadvantaged homes more help is a good thing.
I don't care what race they are. Statistically, any policy in the US which helps disadvantaged people would happen to help more black people.
Not because they're black but because black families tend to be poorer. And that's because of all kinds of historic racism which we can't fix now.
What we can do is try and help poorer people, no matter their race, so that their hard work is more likely to yield a good outcome.

I don't believe in positive discrimination - that is an oxymoron, discrimination is discrimination. I don't believe in "quotas". That's some racist bullshit right there.
I don't want to go for a job and not get it because the other guy is black and they have some quota to fill - I doubt he'd want that either.

Quote from: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-choosiness-of-the-unemployed-academic-evidence-on-voluntary-unemployment-in-the-uk/
So all of my four research projects delivered findings consistent with the view that many unemployed people prefer living on benefits to undertaking jobs which would increase their income, but which they consider unattractive. This has not emerged to anything like the same extent before in social policy empirical literature, and this, I think, is because the vast majority of authors are left-of-centre.

So if someone's house burns down, taking yours with it, because there is no fire department, you are cool with that?  Why are you ok with law enforcement being publicly funded?  You aren't committing crimes, so it's money from your pocket for no reason, and you clearly aren't concerned with property protection or you would be in favor of a fire department.  Just get a gun and defend yourself.  It would save you money.  Why are you in favor of a civic legal system?  Shouldn't you want the government to stay out of your business rather than having the ability to impose their beliefs and values on you?

Yes, some people are lazy and prefer to sit on their arses. I don't think that should be encouraged. And I don't think it's as common as some people make out.

As a general principle I'd suggest everyone deserves the same opportunities in life. In practise that's never going to happen. I was never going to go to Eton and it's no coincidence that people who do tend to get further in life. They're not smarter than me, they don't work harder. They just start with a massive advantage over me.

It's impossible to completely level the playing field, but any policies which help to do that are a good thing.

And this is nothing to do with employment. You can be employed in this country and struggling. I know I just told you to stop reading the Daily Mail but it's the first article I found. Basically, people born into wealthy families tend to earn more than people who weren't:

Now consider the offspring of 2 chavs on benefits. How smart will their kids be? An uncomfortable truth is that intelligence is a genetic trait.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ
Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73%[6] with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%[7] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults.

Rich children of average intelligence are more likely to succeed in life than brilliant people born into poor families, according to a new genetic study that focuses on the intersection of genes and economics.

Researchers found that intellectual gifts are fairly evenly distributed among the rich and poor, however eventual success is heavily weighted in favour of the rich

So it is of no surprise to me that an average IQ rich kid does better than a brilliant poor kid ... they will network better. But also they are much more likely to be smarter on average. The brilliant poor child is as rare as hen's teeth.

Right. So that's another advantage of being rich - your will tend to mix with other rich people and that confers another advantage.
But also rich parents being able to afford tutors or private education can help average kids to perform better.

Obesity and general cultural degeneracy have become normal here to the point that you don’t notice it on a day-to-day basis. It was only when I started watching videos of Japanese and Chinese city life that it hit me how disgusting American society has become. People here really are rude, fat, and narcissistic to a higher degree than most other developed countries. But that’s probably just the skinny privilege talking.

He's going to be paying a lot regardless of whether he is a part time cleaner or a celebrity lawyer. I'm not.


I'm guessing you don't know how insurance works because you have a long and tedious history of not knowing very much about anything. See, we can both be rude. Doesn't really further the conversation though, does it?

It's more than that. Advertising is a form of mind control and we're exposed to it fairly constantly throughout the day, in many different forms, and most of it is for stuff that's bad for us. Couple that with the fact that it really is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people in this country to truly live a healthy lifestyle (compare the healthiness of food available at a high end store like Whole Foods to that at a discount store like Sav-a-Lot, or even the prices between the healthier food vs the unhealthier food at an Acme to see my point) and it's no wonder we're a country of fat slobs.

Well that's easy. Just blame society. No one should ever take any personal responsibility. Oh, you murdered a man because you are from a broken home and have rage issues? Its fine. Society did that. Been sexually abusing your teenage daughter because you've been watching too much porn? That's society's fault. Stole a Bentley because you saw your favourite sports star driving one and you can't emulate your hero without one? Its OK. Society created that envy inside you.

Oh, and you are 300lbs and ate 2 cheesecakes for breakfast before your insulin shot? No worries buddy. Its not your fault. Its society!

No ... if you are fat ... you are to blame.

You're not big boned. No anthropologist ever dug up a skeleton and said "Look at the size of the bones on him."
Its not your glands. I only need to look at images from the 1950s to see how rare obesity was.
Its not genetics. Your great great grandparents weren't fat.
And its not corporations. I eat on the same planet as you do.

You are fat because you are greedy and lazy. Its always those two things. A person needs to be both. Greedy and lazy.

This is a bit rich coming from the US who have gone back on the Paris Climate agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the UN human rights council, UNESCO, and are threatening to pull out of the WTO, NATO and the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty.

Honestly, virtually EVERY criticism or accusation that I see or hear made by Trumpers or Republicans toward Biden or Dems is something that some Trumper or Republican is already guilty of doing.

Trump says Biden is in cognitive decline, but can barely string sentences together.
Trump wants Biden to take a drug test, but is seen blowing bits of pills out from nose and mouth at a rally.

For a Trump fan to complain about principles is laughable. Trump is easily the most unscrupulous, unprincipled, and shameless president we've had since at least Andrew Jackson. He's cheated on his wives numerous times, bragged about supposedly stealing other men's girlfriends, has a long history of making lewd, demeaning, and racist remarks, regularly stiffed local contractors for the money he owed them, and bankrupted his businesses so that he could personally profit at the expense of everyone else multiple times. He pointedly refused to divest himself from his businesses so that he could continue making money off of them at taxpayer expense, and has also refused to release his tax returns so that we could see how much money he's making and from whom it's coming.

There's no doubt that Hunter Biden is an unqualified fuckwit who was hired for his name. But there's no evidence that Joe Biden encouraged or asked for his hiring, and to tie it into America's demands that Viktor Shokin be fired doesn't make any sense. The concern with Shokin was that he was stonewalling or dragging out his investigations into corruption, including the one into Burisma. If Biden was trying to protect his son, and by extension Burisma, then why would he be demanding the removal of someone who had also protected Burisma? The narrative falls apart. Shokin only started claiming that he actually totally was investigating Burisma and that's why Biden wanted him out in 2019, when he recognized that he had an ally in the Trump administration. He's obviously lying, and I'd feel comfortable making that assessment even if we didn't have plenty of documentary evidence and witness testimony (which we do) making it clear that, no, he wasn't investigating Burisma vigilantly. In any case, this is all concerning activities that took place from 2010-2012. Hunter didn't join Burisma until 2014, so he couldn't possibly have been implicated in anything Shokin was or wasn't investigating.

Not really though. Cronyism is perfectly legal in American politics, and (probably detrimentally, I'll admit) practiced with vigour on both sides. Blackmail is a way different story. Obviously the GOP could find no evidence that anything improper was done (and you can be sure, they tried), and whatever you think of Hunter Biden's qualifications for the job, there was never any reason to assume anything improper was done, apart from baseless conspiracy theories intended to smear Biden's name.

So yeah, no surprises, unless you're one of those morons who takes Trump and the political pundits working for him seriously (lol).

You think Hunter Biden has celebrity cache like Michael Jordan and that people will buy more Ukrainian gas because ... 'Hunter Biden'?

Gas is a global commodity. It isn't like a pair of shoes. It trades on the global markets and has a set price. You don't get more for your gas because 'Hunter Biden!'.

I fail to see how the inexperienced addition of the son of a US politician adds to your legitimacy nor do I see how your global company becomes more far reaching when people whisper in hushed tones 'Hunter Biden'.

If I was a Ukrainian Oligarch and my company was being investigated by the UK serious fraud office and all my assets were frozen ... What I'd be hoping is that by hiring the son of the US vice president, that VP might feel he owes me a favour and puts pressure on other nations and so they unfreeze my assets and the case mysteriously collapses. Which by complete coincidence is exactly what happened.

Clearly you don't understand business.

Name Dropping Biden is a big fucking deal.  Not because Hunter Biden is some kind of golden child of skill, but because he's got connections.  (or so you would think) 

And, reading further, apparently it was just that.  Not for business, of course, but to make the international community think they were super legit.  Not sure how the US VP managed to get a UK judge to rule a case was conjecture but... Ok.  I guess UK judges are super easy to manipulate.

Why should this be of any concern to an American who has lost family or friend, along with around 200,000 others, to COVID-19, when the President and his administration are doing practically b*gger-all to prevent its spread, with the President's son-in-law showing specific lack of skill and expertise in the field?

Why is this of any concern, when the President is aiming to subvert the basics of democracy, install a cultish religious fanatic on the highest court in the land, and shows overt racism and misogyny at every turn?

Hunter Biden is an irrelevance compared to this.

Admittedly, these articles are from 2018, but I doubt that the movement has suddenly turned genuine in the two years since. People can and do change their political views, but there's no real exodus of former liberals driven from the modern Democratic Party by the radicalism of its leaders.

Facts First: Biden's gun control plan does not include confiscating legally owned weapons and an interpretation of a "viral video" is a mishearing of what was said. The former vice president has said in the past that a Biden administration would come for people's "assault weapons."
Biden's gun control plan outlines a buyback program for "assault weapons and high-capacity magazines," but the program is not a mandatory buyback and would not force people to give their up their guns.
According to Biden's website, the buyback program "will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act."

But in August 2019, during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Biden was asked about people who think a Biden administration "means they're going to come for my guns." Biden replied, "Bingo, you're right if you have an assault weapon. The fact of the matter is they should be illegal. Period."

Right, so lets look up what an "assault weapon" is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon

"Drawing from federal and state law definitions, the term assault weapon refers primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features."

Ah, so Joe Biden wants to make nearly every gun in the country illegal and he wants to seize them. So let's take another look at:

Quote

Okay, but Joe wants to make them illegal, hence confiscation of illegal weapons. These silly word games where they say "well I won't take your legal firearms" but also "by the way, I want to make all of your legal firearms illegal" are so tiresome. Joe has a long history of anti-gun propaganda. Suddenly changing his website to be full of weasel words during an election doesn't make me feel like he's changed his mind.

I get where you're coming from. But I also wouldn't worry about. Every Dem has been gunning for guns for as long as I've been alive. The NRA is more powerful than any government it seems. You may get hit with a large mag, bump stock, maybe even "assault rifle" ban, but doubtful. The 2nd amendment is even stronger with the new SCOTUS. Biden won't be able to do anything about it.

Assault rifles are already banned in the US. Democrats want to ban "assault weapons" which is their entirely self-created term that means "any gun we don't like". Also, Biden is refusing to say he won't pack the SCOTUS just to get his way. We already have numerous gun bans across Democratic states such as California and New York. It's entirely evident that Democrats want to ban weapons, there's just this pesky 2nd amendment that keeps getting in the way. Saying Biden isn't coming for guns is entirely incorrect, as I previously stated. You've already gone from "well that's wrong" to "well, he wants to, but he can't". Biden is scared to hammer on his anti-gun nature outright because he knows it would make his poll numbers nosedive. Anti-gun sentiment is still a very fringe factor in the US.

It's an entirely legal process and he is free to pack the court if he has the political control to do so. In the sense that I would not want him to do it, then yes, I have a problem with it, but he is legally allowed to do it. However, taking away guns is a different matter.

There's no such thing as logical support of a right. For example, saying "human beings have a right to live" is just an opinion. You can approach an opinion logically but ultimately it's still just an opinion.

my dude, private insurance already works on exactly the same principle. your insurer doesn't set your dollars aside for you in case you need them later. they spend the money you give them on other people's healthcare. that's just how any kind of group insurance works. you're paying for it to be available to you when you need it.

i do not understand this quixotic quest to preserve the "freedom" to not spend money on healthcare. that's not a genuine freedom. i don't think i've ever met a single human who wants to make that choice. and that's because it isn't really a free and un-coerced choice. everyone wants to not be sick and debilitated. being sick and debilitated are anathema to freedom.

put another way: "i have to pay these taxes because i don't want to lose freedom by going to jail" is qualitatively identical to "i have to pay my private insurance bill because i don't want to lose freedom by getting sick and not having any healthcare." they're both coerced choices.

the only real consideration is — how do we min-max cost and access to a service that literally everyone requires? right now we have a system of private firms that minimize access and maximize costs for the purpose of extracting profit from the coerced choice to purchase health insurance. how about instead we have a system that operates on literally precisely the same principle as private insurance, but actually provides a service.

tbh if the choice were between single-payer and private insurance with the same access to healthcare, then i'd probably be more sympathetic to your view. i dunno about you, but my plan is currently "give us lots of money now for the privilege of still paying lots of money out-of-pocket when you need healthcare later."

Governments do not determine human rights.

my dude, private insurance already works on exactly the same principle. your insurer doesn't set your dollars aside for you in case you need them later. they spend the money you give them on other people's healthcare. that's just how any kind of group insurance works. you're paying for it to be available to you when you need it.

Private insurance is voluntary and makes people pay based on their individual status. If a person is more likely to require expensive healthcare, an insurer will give them a higher premium to offset their costs. The government cannot (and should not) charge people based on their healthcare choices. Asking for public healthcare, and considering it a right, is the equivalent of asking the government to do things like regulate health as a whole. No, the system is not perfect, but it's better than moving the cost to the government. What you'll end up with is a bad case of regulatory capture. (or, you know, exactly what happened with ACA). Moving the cost to the government makes healthcare cheaper in much the same way as having the government pay for higher learning makes tuition for colleges go down: ergo, it doesn't.

I would only agree with public healthcare alongside the introductions of things like sugar taxes, higher drug taxes, and mandated DNA tests to determine if you should be charged more for expected complications. In other words, if the government gets involved in the healthcare business, it should be all of it, not just fronting the cost of healthcare to taxpayers who shouldn't be responsible for it. Personally, I don't think the government should do any of that and therefore it should stay out of healthcare. Unless you want to tax people for being fat, you shouldn't want public healthcare, either.

Ahhh, I figured you were using your own personal definition.

Welp, nothing to argue then. 

You never answered my question. If the UN determined that X race has no right to live, would you agree with it? The answer is almost certainly 'no' and that means you're the one deciding what are human rights and not the UN. Ultimately, rights are up to you to decide for yourself, not for some government or psuedo-government to lecture to you.

On what basis are you saying gun ownership is described as a fundamental right everywhere?

The basis that human rights do not suddenly exist in some places and not in others. You are confused between what's legal and illegal and what's a human right. The two are not connected at all.

Why should anyone have to pay more because of this?  The whole point to insurance is that everyone chips in and the money goes to who needs it.  You are healthy and don't have any genetic problems, well good for you, feel lucky you DON'T need to use it as much as others, don't get upset because you have to 'waste' money on insurance you don't need.

Why have insurance at all if you're just going to force people to pay for their misfortune and bad luck?

Insurance is fundamentally a bet that the insurer will make more money than they'll expend taking care of the collective insured. The betting odds change based on how healthy you are. If the government is paying a cost based on betting, how is it not fair that the government get a better idea of the odds?

If the odds are that a given person will cost more money, then that person should be required to pay a higher cost over time to offset the chance they'll require more money. The most common healthcare problems are often entirely voluntary. Drinking, obesity, reckless driving, smoking, unprotected sex, these are all voluntary items that increase the cost of healthcare to the individual. Why should a taxpayer who chooses none of these things be forced to pay for one who does?

Because this isn't a game.  It's not about keeping score and making sure health care is fair.  Life isn't fair.  It's not fair to be diagnosed with cancer when you're 6.

It's immoral to deny health care to people just because they weren't born to rich parents or fell into the wrong risk group.  Dying because of where you were born? That's not fair.

If you are concerned people are doing unhealthy things and it's not fair they get health care, well tax the things you don't like, you mentioned that before.

But don't deny people health care based on risk factors they can't control.  The US healthcare system is a disaster. People shouldn't have to die because a corporation wants more profits.

I know people in other countries would never have survived to be an adult here because they couldn't have paid for care they needed.  Do they not deserve to live?  Are their lives worthless because their parents were not wealthy? 

I'm sorry if you feel your forced to pay for other peoples health care.  I hope you continue to be forced to pay for others, it's way better than being the one that needs it.  Consider yourself lucky.

You don't want to go down the road of deciding who should get care based on their life choices.  After all, smokers actually cost the government LESS because on average they die early from aggressive cancers and don't live long enough to collect lots of benefits and need years of expensive end of life care.  If you're going to value a life purely on how much the government has to spend on them you might find yourself the one being thrown out into the cold.  Your healthy living is going to be expensive in the long run after all.

Why not?  Other countries manage it.  Why can't the richest country on the planet give all their citizens access to heath care?

Why do you want to deny people health care?  There are plenty of people who can't afford health care but are not old or poor enough to get either medicare or medicaid.  Plenty of people who can afford insurance still go bankrupt due to medical bills that insurance won't cover.

Obamacare expanded Medicaid to younger people but of course, only the blue states enacted it, so if you're in a red state you are out of luck.

Millions are on it, but we still have 30 million people without health care.  In the richest country on the planet.  That is just sad.

That's not a good enough reason. If hospitals are playing games and using out of network doctors and causing medical bankruptcies, that can be fixed through legislation. I don't see why the entire field needs to be socialized if there is a single problem.

The people who are poor or old are largely already on the socialized programs. The socialized programs of Medicare and Medicaid already serve almost 160 million people combined.

Medicare - 61.2 Million (https://www.ncpssm.org/our-issues/medicare/medicare-fast-facts/)
Medicaid - 97 Million  (https://www.cbpp.org/research/health/policy-basics-introduction-to-medicaid)

Much more than the 30 million figure cited. Considering the US population is 328.2 million (https://www.google.com/search?q=US+population), that's a lot. Medicine is already largely socialized. Medicaid even offers socialized supplemental insurance for people who are under-insured.

The 30 million figure appears to only refer to people who went without coverage at some point during the year: “Nearly 30 million Americans went without coverage at some point in 2019.” (https://www.marketplace.org/2020/09/16/census-survey-nearly-30-million-people-without-health-insurance-2019/) The Continuation of Health Coverage (COBRA) program allows you to bill medical claims to your previous insurance if you get sick for up to 18 months if they are transitioning between jobs, as long as you pay the rate your employer was paying. If you are unemployed for a long period of time then you should probably be on Medicaid. Medicaid can be applied for 60 days after losing your job, which some people neglect to apply for.

The actual number of chronically uninsured might be unaware of the socialized healthcare options available to them, are young and healthy, or don't care. If they get sick they know that they can just get insurance when they need it, since applicants are not judged for pre-existing conditions anymore.

Medicine is already socialized for those who need it. There is no reason to socialize it for people who can afford it. If it was totally socialized the people who could afford it would just be paying for it anyway via taxes, with an extra layer of government bureaucracy, and would likely get less options available to them. Right now young people can choose a cheaper catastrophic plan, and people willing to pay more can choose elaborate plans that include non-standard alternative practitioners or incidentals considered cosmetic by regular plans. If it was standardized by the government to a single plan there would be fewer options available. It also removes the competition aspect among insurance providers which naturally makes the standard plans employers buy cheaper.

Medicare and medicaid qualifications vary by state and "need" is a hard term to apply.  For example, a walmart cashier doesn't get insurance via his job nor will medicaid be offered in most cases. 

The requirements are strict in many states.  Also, doctors are not required to accept medicare patients, if I recall.  So that hurts options too.

Either the store owner cloned it and got in touch with Giuliani somehow or Giuliani got in touch with him or it was through the FBI. It’s also possible the emails came from the identified Russian agent he has been working with, but that’s speculatory. What has been leaked so far is not very damning.

So that when nature decides to get you, you don't have to worry about going bankrupt because you can't afford healthcare.

When nature decides to 'get you', your overall cost should go up. I don't disagree with the idea that healthcare requires better regulation and price gouging should be eliminated, but the idea that it is a right is nonsense.

Makes a lot more sense than gun ownership being a right.

How do you make it a right to provide a service? Do you intend on forcing doctors to attend to patients? Such a system doesn't make fundamental sense to me. Remember, the right is to own a gun, not the right to be given a gun. No one has the right to be given a service or product, the very idea that they do is against the autonomy rights of others.

That isn't to say that some countries do in fact force people to provide a service or product to others. Governments exist to force people to do things, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

I'm pretty sure ER doctors, for example, don't have a choice either way - they have to provide service when someone shows up that needs care. And the cost of the uninsured who also can't and/or refuse to pay gets passed on to the rest of us as increased cost. Sure would be nice to have that accounted for as a true "cost of doing business" that would be negotiated as such and, in the end, should cost the public less. We're paying that money anyway. If we can provide all Americans a better quality of life, which we can seemingly afford based on looking at how other countries have implemented single payer healthcare, and in doing so we can also end up spending less overall (which, again, other countries that are using that model have shown is possible), that seems like a win.

So that when nature decides to get you, you don't have to worry about going bankrupt because you can't afford healthcare.

When nature decides to 'get you', your overall cost should go up. I don't disagree with the idea that healthcare requires better regulation and price gouging should be eliminated, but the idea that it is a right is nonsense.

Makes a lot more sense than gun ownership being a right.
How do you make it a right to provide a service? Do you intend on forcing doctors to attend to patients?

The Hippocratic Oath pretty much covers off on this already.

Journalist Roger Sollenberger claims that Carlson told him that he did have copies.

They hype up some damning evidence so close to election day that by the time they release it and admit its nothing big, its already Nov. 4.

Nov 1 Biden Broke THE LAW!!!!!!
Nov 2: Biden to stand before A JUDGE!
Nov 3: Election coverage
Nov 4: Biden goes before judge about parking ticket.

Agreed.  Should Biden win then many will be celebrating but they should be freaking the hell out.  If it weren't for covid then Trump would have easily skated to reelection. 

Four years ago when Trump won it was shocking.  I felt like I didn't know this country.  But maybe that many people didn't watch TV.  Maybe they didn't research  Trump all that much.

Now all of Trump's faults have been on a loudspeaker to the entire world for the last four years.  But without a catastrophe he would have won.

There is something deeply wrong with this country.

Well unless Trump manages to use the Supreme Court to steal it, Biden has won.

People seem to think he won't accomplish anything because the Republicans are likely retaining hold of the Senate. I almost hope so; I want to see if Joe lives up to his promises of trying to compromise with the other side. Maybe two years of Republican obstruction in the face of Biden's sincere attempts to reach out to them and accomplish positive change will disgust enough people that we can flip it in the next midterm.

Of course that might hinge on too many of the American people not being ignorant assholes for it to be feasible. Maybe I'm not giving up hope just yet.

I am going to pull from your playbook: it was certified by the media who are independent of Biden.

Now please throw all the rebuttals that we shower you with when you make similarly terrible rationalizations.

On the other hand...  Who gives a fuck if Biden either changed his mind about that or forgot he said that?  I mean it's not like he is bragging about walking unnannounced in to the Miss Teen America dressing room or grabbing women by the pussy, is it?  Surely you can admit that Trump has made much worse ethical violations?  Surely.

Unfortunately, things could get pretty messy in the US and Trump is just adding fuel to the fire.
If...well, let's face it, when Trump's team's legal challenges are laughed out of court you'd like to think that people like Tom would think
"Oh, OK. Well maybe Trump was full of shit then and there was no widespread fraud that robbed Trump of a second term".

But you know what's going to happen. Trump will simply double down and say that the courts are "in on it" or evidence has been suppressed or do anything other to admit that he just lost bigly. And because of that his supporters will believe the same. Trump will continue to believe he was robbed and that means his supporters will believe that they were robbed.

And 70 million people - or a percentage of them - not just feeling pissed off about the result but actively feeling like they've been cheated out of the president they wanted is a recipe for a pretty toxic atmosphere.

I agree, this is going to get worse before it gets better.  I personally would like everyone to cool their jets.  The EC doesn't cast their votes until Dec. 14th anyway, so despite Trump's break with decorum and seemingly undeniable loss in the election, it still isn't a legal win yet.  If the responses could be kept to the easy debunking of Trump's actual legal challenges, or reminders that Trump's rhetoric is simply that, the climate might be a little cooler.

It’s theoretically possible but it would amount to a constructional crisis and fundamental breakdown of their democratic process. If that happened I would expect things to get extremely ugly. The key swing states have already made statements pledging that such an eventuality is not conceivable for them.

EDIT: There are also states with laws against faithless electors. PA and Georgia notably don’t.

That's my understanding, technically it can happen but there's no real reason to think it will, and to be fair it would require a hell of a turnover since 36 electors would have to flip to give Trump the win.

On the other hand there were two electors who did flip in the last election, actually giving Trump only 304 electors, so I suppose anything is possible.

Going by a strict reading of the Constitution, yes.  Our votes for the president are just sort of a recommendation.  Technically Mike Bloomberg could have just bribed each member of the electoral college with 10 million a piece to make him president. 

I believe there are penalties against faithless voters but I don't think they're actually prevented from faithless voting.

To answer your second question, everyone knows it's ridiculous.  But the system works very well as affirmative action for republicans so they're loathe to change it.

Quick Take
Social media posts falsely claim that former Vice President Joe Biden “invented the Office of President-elect.” Donald Trump and Barack Obama also used the term during their transitions to the presidency.

Yes. That is the difference. She conceded. Like every defeated candidate since forever, she acted like a grown up.
But while Trump continues to hold his breath like a toddler until things go his way, back in the real world literally everyone else knows Biden won and are calling him President Elect. World leaders have queued up to congratulate him, even China now.
Is Biden and the rest of the world supposed to just not do anything while the Toddler in Chief refuses to accept reality?

EDIT: Parallels with 2000 don't really work. That was a genuinely close contest which needed some sorting out.

Joe Biden isn't the president elect simply according to Jody Hice's interpretation and request to the GSA in a letter. A legal precedent was not set in 2000. Hice is making an argument. That's all.

And there are differing opinions on what occurred in 2000:

The Law of Presidential Transitions and the 2000Election
The ability of the incumbent administration to manipulate the Act for political purpose and to thereby undermine the transition efforts of a rival party is certain to tempt future administrations. The Act originally intended that the determination of a President-elect be a relatively simply matter, one to be ascertained solely by examining whether one candidate had earned an electoral college majority. As the sponsor of the Act observed, the 1960 election— one at least as close, contentious, and uncertain as the 2000 election—presented no problems in ascertaining an apparent winner.
Nonetheless, the Administrator of GSA, inspired in large part by political pressures emanating from the White House, refused to recognize an apparent winner until after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of George Bush and after Al Gore conceded the election. In so doing, the Administrator violated the Act’s language and intent and undermined its policies as well, harming the Bush transition and the country as a whole in the process.
Although the Administrator’s actions clearly violated the Act, the Bush-Cheney transition team had little recourse to rectify the violation.

So, of course, he's gearing up to take office.
The only people who think there's some dispute about this are Trump and some of his more deluded supporters.
And tbh, I think even Trump secretly knows he lost, he's probably just doing this to fund raise from his supporters and create the support for whatever he wants to do next.

You must be confused. It's a statement from Congress's Committee of Oversight and Reform that Joe Biden is not President-Elect. The letter states that he is not President-Elect. Otherwise they would be telling the GSA to recognize Biden as President-Elect and give him the transition resources and intel briefings which he has requested and which other President-Elects have received.

I don't even know what your point is. You don't like that Biden considers himself the President Elect? Good for you. Instead of someone needing to tell Joe he is not the president elect in some people's eyes, maybe someone should tell Donald to concede with his big boy pants on so we can get on with this peaceful transition of power which is far more of a precedent than any of these GSA transition interpretations.

I honestly don't know what Tom's issue is here. Were the situation reversed we all know Trump would be going round calling himself President Elect, almost certainly in a more bombastic way than Biden is.

Congrats Tom, you really owned the libs on this one. There is dispute over whether he is officially president-elect. On the one side, you have every race being called and barring some fire hose of terabytes of data, Biden has won one of the most decisive victories over an incumbent in history.

On the other side is Trump who has been reduced to litigating fucking terrible cases to try and swing a few hundred votes that won’t make a difference.

His inability to accept defeat is firing everyone up to the point that militias are vowing to resist any laws Biden passes because “the election was stolen”.

It wasn’t stolen, Trump just can not accept defeat. Because you have your identity wrapped up in Trump, you can’t either. I suppose once the Electoral College makes their decision on Dec 14th you will have some new complaint.

Only one week until Pennsylvania and Michigan verify their results. Time is running out.

No, they report on the results from each state, assume the electors will abide by the law, and project that the incumbent (now lame duck) will accept the will of the people and contribute to the shifting of power. Somehow those last two points arent a given in this crazy world were living in now!

They project the winner in every election. Literally the only difference right now is we have a toddler in the White House who can't accept he lost, and some of his supporters are gullible enough to believe him and keep sending him money.
What actual point are you making here? That Biden shouldn't call himself President Elect? Everyone else is calling him that.
Or do you object to the fact he's acting like he's going to be the next President? Firstly, pretty much everyone can see he is going to be and secondly what's he supposed to do? Wait until Trump's tantrum blows itself out before doing anything? It seems sensible that he would be preparing to govern as that's not an overnight job. If Trump's right and he did really win (spoiler: he isn't and he didn't) then no real harm done. Better that than not leaving enough time for a transition while Trump continues to stamp his feet in defiance of reality.

Really great comment.  Unfortunately for you, it has nothing to do with what I said.  You can go look at state by state results that are self-reported and come to the same conclusion.  It just needs a rubber stamp now.  None of Trump's pathetic and delusional lawsuits will change the result.  You best hope is that the Electoral College completely betrays the will of the people and your democracy.

It doesn't matter if people are calling him the President-Elect. He's not the President-Elect. The issue is still in contention and the Congressional Oversight Committee and the GSA has confirmed that Biden has not met the necessary threshold. Do let us know when he is the President-Elect.

Congrats Tom, you really owned the libs on this one. There is dispute over whether he is officially president-elect. On the one side, you have every race being called and barring some fire hose of terabytes of data, Biden has won one of the most decisive victories over an incumbent in history.

Incorrect. The media does not decide who wins.

They project the winner in every election. Literally the only difference right now is we have a toddler in the White House who can't accept he lost, and some of his supporters are gullible enough to believe him and keep sending him money.
What actual point are you making here? That Biden shouldn't call himself President Elect? Everyone else is calling him that.

It doesn't matter if people are calling him the President-Elect. He's not the President-Elect. The issue is still in contention and the Congressional Oversight Committee and the GSA has confirmed that Biden has not met the necessary threshold. Do let us know when he is the President-Elect.

Do Jody Hise and the GSA determine who the president is?

When Trump does the decent thing and concedes or once the Electoral College votes I suppose.  I mean, the term president elect isn't really an official designation anyway.  The GSA has specific definitions for their own purposes, but its also convention to name the apparent winner of the election President-Elect.  So... He is President-Elect, just not to the GSA because they have to follow their regulations.  But make no mistake, Biden has won the election.  There is no Kraken coming with terabytes of firehose data.  Trump lost, he is just so immature and narcissistic that he won't admit it publicly.

All hail the new God-Emperor Biden!  4 years may he reign!

He won by a landslide!

Precisely. The GSA 'ascertains' whether to consider the candidate the "President Elect" or not for their sole purpose of providing transition funding and resources. They have yet to formally ascertain this. And good for them. I have no idea what Tom is trying to make of this. That Biden shouldn't be printing placards that say "President Elect" on them because the GSA hasn't recognized that designation yet? If that's his issue, well then so be it. It doesn't change the fact that Biden is our President. Although I know he wishes it would. Desperation on full display.

If all things hold as they are, Biden with 306 Electoral votes, according to Trump, it is a landslide:

"In an interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace in Dec. 2016, Trump dismissed a question about Russian interference in the election by boasting “we had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the electoral college, I guess the final number is 306 and [Clinton] is down to a very low number.”"

I guess we'll just wait and see where the electoral college lands.

This isn’t really an honour, as such. It’s just the person that they declare to have been the most influential in that year, for good or ill.

Given that Biden is about to become the POTUS (yes he is, Tom), I guess he’s a pretty good shout for this year. Although Covid-19 will be gutted not to have been chosen.

It's perfectly normal for the winner of the presidential election to be named Person of the Year, and has in fact become a predictable pattern since the beginning of this century. Who's more influential than the next President of the United States? What has me intrigued is the decision to include the vice president, which hasn't happened before.

We're sorry a Judge reviewed and redacted as needed while releasing the FRAUD today.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/michigan-judge-allows-release-forensic-report-fraud-allegations-dominion-voting-machines

"The lawsuit was initiated by Antrim County resident William Bailey. Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, a former Republican lawmaker, allowed Allied Securities Operation Group and Bailey to take forensic images of the county’s 22 tabulators and review other election-related material to ensure election integrity.

The forensic analysis has been under protective order. It could not be released prior to the Judge’s decision Monday, when Elsenheimer ordered the release with some redactions.

Antrim County has roughly 23,000 residents and the discovery that roughly 6,000 votes cast using the Dominion Voting Systems that should have gone to President Donald Trump went to Joe Biden without explanation triggered the ongoing investigation by Trump supporters.

The bizarre explanation that a failure to update voting software led to Joe Biden initially receiving those thousands of votes ahead of Trump in the Republican-leaning county wasn’t accepted by the majority of Trump supporters, nor many of the Michigan GOP>

If the forensic report is accurate on the irregularities, as well as other issues of alleged fraud regarding the Dominion Voting Systems used in XX states across the country, it may snowball to other state legislatures requesting audits of their systems as well."

Are the people who say that the forensic report is wrong forensic auditors?
The person who says the forensic report is right has a history of cherry picking who they believe and how much regard they have for people’s qualifications depending on whether what’s being said agrees with their world view or not.

So that's a "no, they are not forensic auditors" then.

Neither is Ramsland.

Ummm, so what? From your article:

"Miller described the halt in cooperation in a statement as having been “mutually agreed upon.” Axios, which reported on the move earlier, cited a defense official it didn’t identify as saying workers were feeling overwhelmed by the number of meetings.

“As of today, we have supported 139 interviews sessions, more than 200 DoD personnel, 161 requests for information, and disclosed thousands of pages of non-public and classified documents, exceeding prior transitions,” Miller said in his statement. “At no time has the department canceled or declined any interview.
”"

Seems like the DoD has spilled their guts to the transition team and are tired. I don't think they would have disclosed all of that for any other ridiculous reasons you have swirling around in your kraken head.

Or that Trump has delayed this process by over a month, requiring an accelerated time table that, due to Trump failing to keep his administration's network secure, can't be met.  I mean, if I had a month before taking the presidency and was a month behind in starting up AND the people I needed were dealing with a massive cyber attack...  I'd be concerned too.

If the military were planning to do something as momentous as intervene in the transition process, keep their preferred president in office, and possibly even institute martial law, why would they be giving Biden advance notice by suddenly discontinuing his intel briefings? If random people on the Internet are able to figure out what's going on, I'm sure his team can too.

The military doesn’t declare martial law. That’s an executive power. This would be a military coup. It’s truly a sign how low Trump supporters have sunk that they would welcome a military coup over accepting that Trump just lost.

The problem with such assessments is that they are merely excuses without evidence. Excuses rather than positive evidence to show that such excuses have validity.

Did Joe Biden have overflow crowds of thousands of people cheering him on outside of his events, who couldn't get in, but went and stayed anyway to hear and watch what they could? Trump did.

Are there there any precidents for presidents getting such a low number of counties and record high votes for their time periods?

Trump had people at his events because he invited them there, while Biden told people to stay home and wear a mask. That's why Herman Cain and many many other Republicans are dead. The numbers of rally attendees is irrelevant.

And record numbers of voters means that things are, in some ways, unprecedented. That's why I suggested someone would have to look at the proportions of voters from big cities during this record turnout. That would explain whether the record high vote count could be in line with winning that number of counties.

Trump is obviously going to have a big numbers at his rallies.
A LOT of people really, really like him.

...but a LOT of other people really, really don't like him.

He's more divisive than Thatcher, and that's saying something. So of course Trump's hysterical fans are going to pack out his rallies, some of them act like he's the second coming.
Biden is more middle of the road. People will vote for him because they like him or, more likely, because he isn't Trump. But he doesn't invoke the strong passions that Trump does.

Is there any evidence that rally attendance has any correlation with voter turnout or election results?
This is another "statistical anomaly" which isn't one because like all these "anomalies" it starts with a false premise - that rally turnout and voter turnout are correlated.
Is that true? And even if it is, the pandemic was clearly a factor last year which is a confounding factor.

Trump clearly has a lot of fans. No-one disputes that. And people who are pro-Trump are often very pro-Trump.
They can see no wrong in anything he does and believe everything he says - as you demonstrate on here daily.
So sure, he gets a lot of fanatical people going to his rallies.

Biden is far less divisive, has a far less fanatical support and in the middle of a pandemic was having smaller events. Some would say that's the responsible thing to do in the circumstances.

Win the right counties by a high enough margin, you win the popular vote.

This is WHY the US has the electoral college in the first place. Republicans would never win without it. And as problematic as it is, the concept is important.

There's only a couple tiny things that arent shown in those pictures...

That teeny tiny pandemic that has gripped the world and killed nearly 400 000 Americans during the election cycle. So weird he couldnt fill rallies.

And the minor detail of the proportion of votes that went to Biden from big cities, and the record turnout of voters in those cities.

The problem with such assessments is that they are merely excuses without evidence. Excuses rather than positive evidence to show that such excuses have validity.

Did Joe Biden have overflow crowds of thousands of people cheering him on outside of his events, who couldn't get in, but went and stayed anyway to hear and watch what they could? Trump did.

Are there there any precidents for presidents getting such a low number of counties and record high votes for their time periods?

...is one of your claims actually that Biden holding small rallies is an indicator of fraud? Are we being that openly dishonest now?

Thanks for dropping the county number argument at least.

Why would there have been people gathering? The message from the Democrat team was always to stay home, listen to public health officials.

Trump has fanatical supporters. Biden doesn't.
That doesn't mean Trump has more people who will vote for him, simply that he evokes more extremes of support (and opposition).

Win the right counties by a high enough margin, you win the popular vote.

Your argument is just that a huge statistical anomaly is "possible". But the presence of absurd statistical anomalies is indicative of illegitimate election.

Could these bellwether counties really have gotten it wrong all at the same time?”

The corporate media has largely been unable to explain Trump’s dominant performance in bellwether counties, offering up only vague references to “more racially diverse populations” in response to the counties’ sharp contrast with a purported Biden victory. "

Several counties in America are considered the “bellwethers,” the ones that nearly always vote for the eventual winner of the presidential race. And by “nearly always,” we mean it’s remarkable how accurate they are throughout history.

Maybe you are not being honest with yourself:

https://www.theday.com/article/20201202/OP04/201209860

Quote
Trump is the first incumbent president in 132 years, since Grover Cleveland’s failed bid for re-election in 1888, to have increased his vote from his first election and not win. Trump collected more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection, receiving 11 million more votes than in 2016.

Biden won more votes nationally than any presidential candidate in history, but he won a record low 17% of counties — yet Biden somehow outdid Obama in total votes? If this doesn't at least make you  curious about the voting anomalies, you're simply not being honest.

This may be challenging for many to accept, but again this is not about Trump; it's about attaining a certain level of confidence moving forward in how we elect leaders. The most sacred right of citizenship must have transparency, otherwise, there can be no election peace.

Tom, do you actually think that bellwether counties are some sort of nexus to the nation's political leanings? That we can actually look at how these counties vote and scientifically determine how the entire nation will vote as a result? If the answer is yes, then I think you ought to offer some sort of explanation, because I think most rational people would agree that doesn't make any sense. And if the answer is no, then you should just accept that bellwether counties are fairly interesting phenomena that don't actually mean anything in a scientific or statistical sense. Weird patterns and coincidences form by happenstance all the time, and they stop happening all the time too.

Tom, Trump changed everything.  Using pre-Trump data is irrelevant.  Might as well use a map of Pangea to navigate the ocean.

Also: Biden got REPUBLICAN VOTES because that's how bad Trump is.  Republicans literally chose him over their own party.

That is how he got more votes than ever.  (Also population grows, turnout was high, etc...)

https://www.businessinsider.com/half-of-the-united-states-lives-in-these-counties-2013-9

So if you get a majority in those counties, you'll probably win the state.  Ssooo..... Yeah.
Also, kinda funny how you'll happily tout voting statistics as irregular and thus proof of Biden winning but seem ok that Biden won a record low and do not think THAT is odd.  Like, what are the statistical likelyhood that Biden would lose so many counties?  Maybe Trump and his party committed fraud in those small counties?  Had you considered that?

Sigh! Why don't you understand anything?
There's nothing "magic" about bellwether counties. Historically they have gone with the President, that doesn't mean failure to do so is an indication of anything.
As you have admitted, Biden's support was concentrated in a relatively low number of counties but as you are repeatedly failing to understand - or pretending not to - not every county is created equal. Some have significantly higher populations than others. The number of counties won isn't an indication of anything.

Voter turnout was significantly higher in this election than it was in any recent one - Trump evokes strong feelings both positive and negative. So yeah, Trump got more votes because more people voted. And remember that Trump didn't even win the popular vote last time out, I don't remember you expressing incredulity about how Trump could possibly have won the election without winning the popular vote.
Because it doesn't matter how many people vote for you (to a point), it matters where they vote for you. And the number of counties is simply irrelevant for the reasons already explained.

I'm sorry you don't understand any of this, but there it is.

Really? I mean, he talked a lot about unity. This bit was good:

Quote
To all those who did not support us, let me say this. Hear us out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.
If you still disagree, so be it. That's democracy. That's America. The right to dissent peacefully. And the guardrail of our democracy is perhaps our nation's greatest strength. If you hear me clearly, disagreement must not lead to disunion. And I pledge this to you. I will be a President for all Americans, all Americans. And I promise you I will fight for those who did not support me as for those who did.

What bits did you think would enrage Trump supporters? He talked about the angry mob and democracy prevailing but I'd suggest anyone who is crazy enough that storming the Capitol building was a good idea or to believe Trump's lies about election fraud aren't really going to be placated by anything he said. What is your issue with what he said and is there anything you actually think he could have said which would have been better?

I mean, you're not far off, but that's not quite what I was getting at. You are correct insofar that it doesn't matter whether Trump supporters are right (they aren't), but Biden's biggest challenge isn't right or wrong. It's calming emotions and reconciliation vs. furthering division and allowing people to double down. To understand what I'm trying to say, you have to try and read the speech assuming bad faith - that's how the losers will read it - and see whether it would make you angrier or go "huh, maybe I'll give this guy a chance then". The speech was extremely "us and them".

Also, for reference, I'm using the transcript at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/21/joe-biden-inauguration-speech-full-transcript-2021-president/ for my quotes.

Joe opens with two paragraphs talking about how "democracy has prevailed" over Trump's attempts to question the legitimacy of the election, which culminated in the Capitol riots. There's a problem with that - facts aside, most Trump supporters are not convinced that democracy has prevailed. Many think they're witnessing it being stolen. We shouldn't legitimise these feelings, but we absolutely shouldn't paint them as evil. Because most of them aren't - they allowed their emotions and a plethora of media/information issues we're currently facing to take control of them. A statement like "We've learned again that democracy is precious, democracy is fragile and, at this hour my friends, democracy has prevailed. So now on this hallowed ground where just a few days ago violence sought to shake the Capitol's very foundations, we come together as one nation under God - indivisible - to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries" will be read in the context of "us and them", because that's the context it was uttered in. This isn't unity, this is "we won, now unite behind us".

The same goes for "We'll press forward with speed and urgency for we have much to do in this winter of peril and significant possibility. Much to do, much to heal, much to restore, much to build and much to gain." Again, this will be read as "you lot fucked up the country and now I'm here to fix it by undoing what you wanted to accomplish". Right or wrong, this won't help.

AATW claims that Biden talked a lot about unity. But every time he mentions "unity", he immediately follows up with a quip about how racism/the far right is bad. He actually can't stop himself, every time he says "unity", a sentence on how extremism is bad and how we'll totally fix it has to follow. Again, that's not "unity" - that's "you were bad, and now we're uniting against you".

So here's the problem: you've just spent a better part of 15 minutes listening to "us good, them bad, there are lies and there is truth, and luckily the truth has triumphed against the vicious attack on democracy, which by the way was very bad, just like racism and sexism which are also bad, hey, did you know that this location was very important for fighting these bad things, which are just as bad as my opponents?" when Biden looks up to the camera with a gentle smile and politely explains that it's time to end the "uncivil war". He just spent 15-20 minutes rubbing the fact that you're evil in your face and then says "debate over, we unity now :)". I can't imagine this appealing to anyone who wasn't already on board. That problem, in itself, isn't new in America. It's just that Biden claims to be fixing it while perpetuating it perfectly.

Take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I like to observe how they react to these things (the gist is that they don't seem to disagree with my reading (https://thedonald.win/p/11SJjuHTNM/its-gonna-be-a-hard-no-on-this-u/c/)), and I occasionally pop in to some of the nastier parts of the Internet. I kinda-sorta understand how they communicate, but I probably missed a lot of what's causing the anger. However: if unity is the goal, then understanding must come first. In my humble opinion, Joe Biden has a long way to go before he understands any of the backlash against Democrats that first reared its head in 2016, and which to some extent is still continuing.

Side note: Garth Brooks did a fantastic job at following the message of unity, and was clearly an excellent choice for the ceremony. If any MAGAs kept their TVs on for long enough to hear him, that might at least count for something. J-Lo randomly screaming in Spanish mid-song, probably not so much, but that appealed a lot to the more passionate Dem base. Something for everyone, I guess.

I think we're at a stage where "less is more". The riots only just happened, and obviously nobody is going to be suddenly switching sides after a single speech, no matter how good. Personally, I think it would have been better not to focus on it, and instead talk about values that Americans (claim to) share. That, to me, would be a message of unity. Joe Biden needs to take some hints out of John McCain's playbook.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnRU3ocIH4

But now, the word "unity" is gonna be nigh-impossible to reclaim. Overnight, it became a codeword for "we won, get over it". Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it's the first tiny step in the wrong direction.

I imagine polling went like this.

Pollster: "Hi, I'm from the New York Times. Would you mind telling me how you would vote if there were an election tomorrow?"
Democrat voter: "I'd vote Biden. Orange man bad.

Pollster: "Hi, I'm from the New York Times. Would you mind telling me how you would vote if there were an election tomorrow?"
Republican voter: "New York Times? How about you f-off, you total disgrace.  >o<"
Pollster: "I'll pop you down as an undecided.

Conservatives in all countries are much more likely to refuse to disclose their voting intentions. This is likely because the New York Times et al frequently tell people they are stupid if they vote Republican. When a left wing journalist asks you how you will vote, you're unlikely to be cooperative with them. I wouldn't have '5 mins to spare' for the BBC for example.

My verdict ... Trump will win again without breaking a sweat. By the time the head to head debate has happened and Biden is shown to be absolutely out of his skull with dementia, it'll all be over for another 4 years.

Welp, this post aged like milk.

Nope. It's not over at all. If a politician is sworn into office and it is later found that they were fraudulently or inappropriately elected, they are removed. There is precedent for this:

It seems that every time a deadline for Trump winning passes, a new hope arises that is just around the corner.

In the Stinson case, there were a large number of fraudulent votes that had been discovered and proven. To date, nobody has found 7 million fake votes for Biden. Even after multiple hand recounts in several battleground states.

If any real evidence existed it would have been presented in one of the hundred odd GOP lawsuits that got tossed out due to a total lack of evidence.  The whole 'no judges considered any lawsuits on the merits' is a myth, plenty of judges specifically took the Trump lawyers to task for not providing any evidence. They were very clear on this.

Biden won, legitimately and honestly and is not going to be removed by any fantasy lawsuit with nonexistent evidence. He won by over 7 million votes. Nobody has been able to show any large scale fraud. In fact in Pennsylvania after an extremely detailed check found only three fraudulent votes. Three. All voting fraudulently for Trump. All his efforts ended up losing him three votes, he certainly didn't find the hundreds of thousands he claims were falsified for Biden in the state.

Random web sites can say anything they want, but unless any of that makes it before a Judge, it's completely worthless. If all this evidence existed and was valid, it would have been presented in a court of law, not just on some random internet blog.

Joe Biden is president, and Trump isn't coming back. It's over.

You have provided zero sources on this claim that they assessed the merits of the bulk of the fraud cases, while I have provided plenty to the contrary.

Tennessee lawmakers:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/gop-tennessee-state-lawmakers-urge-senators-reps-to-object-to-electoral-votes_3639825.html

"But, according to the Tennessee lawmakers, “Very few of these irregularities have been investigated in a professional manner by anyone in law enforcement or in a position to do anything about it. In fact, most of these jurisdictions, save Arizona, are blocking transparency efforts at every turn.”

They also faulted the U.S. judiciary system for not taking up lawsuits and typically refusing to hear the cases based on procedural errors—rather than merit."

Former WH Deputy Press Secretary:

https://money.yahoo.com/maxine-waters-slams-trump-security-130000896.html

"Fraud claims were the centerpiece of 60 lawsuits that have been denied in court. Gidley retorted those court defeats, saying “the cases were lost not on merit but lost to judicial technicalities.”"

https://m.theepochtimes.com/courts-havent-decided-facts-on-voter-fraud-found-excuses-to-dismiss-trumps-cases-rand-paul_3622644.html

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) rejected the notion that courts have 'decided the facts' amid allegations of election fraud during the Nov. 3 election.

'The courts have not decided the facts,' Paul said during an election integrity hearing on Wednesday. 'The courts never looked at the facts. The courts don’t like elections, and they stayed out of it by finding an excuse.'

The Kentucky senator went on to say that courts mainly rejected lawsuits from President Donald Trump’s team or other election-related lawsuits on procedural grounds."

Political Journalist Mike Walsh:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/after-trumps-last-stand-left-seeks-revenge_3649577.html

"Wuz we robbed? It’s very likely, given the suspicious circumstance of Biden’s materializing popular votes in precisely the swing states that were needed for victory. And while the multiple lawsuits contesting those votes have been consistently thrown out in various courts (including, disgracefully, the Texas suit presented to the U.S. Supreme Court), they were dismissed on procedural grounds, and the evidence remains to this day unheard."

Rose Sentinel:

https://romesentinel.com/stories/trump-following-all-legal-means-to-challenge-suspect-state-election-results,108212

"Trump and his allies have filed roughly 50 lawsuits challenging election results, and nearly all have been dismissed or dropped but on procedural grounds that did not test the evidence. AP claims Trump has lost twice at the U.S. Supreme Court but that was also procedural and did not consider evidence."

No evidence of voter fraud
On Jan. 20, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors agreed to negotiate with the Arizona Senate on a deal to release data from November’s election to avoid further court hearings, according to the Associated Press. However, the Senate did not release any evidence of voter fraud.

Nope. The title is correct. The Senate Judiciary Committee determined that there was evidence of fraud. This is why the subpoena for a further audit was issued. They said that there was evidence of fraud, that the data will have further evidence of fraud, and that the audit needs to be performed to show that the election was free of fraud.

I really don't understand how your can mess up the facts this egregiously. Your first post says, "One Hour After Biden Sworn In, Arizona Senate President Releases Evidence of Fraud." That did not happen. No evidence of "Fraud" was released. That's already been shown.

Now you post an article from the AZ Mirror which is from December 14th, over a month before the inauguration. What does that have to do with the no fraud evidence released headline that is incorrect.

The body issuing the subpoenas determined that there was evidence of fraud and that the data contained further evidence of fraud. This is why the title is correct. It was already declared and determined that there is fraud there, hence the issuing of the subpoenas.

Tom. You have spent months chasing one false hope after another. The courts were going to overturn it. Then the Supreme Court was. Then there was going to be an uprising on Inauguration Day.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Biden is the President, just like basically everyone on here was telling you he was going to be. Y’know because he won the election. And sure, you can provide sources which are telling you what you want to hear. You may wish to consider that those are the same sources which provided you with all the false hope which has proven to be false hope.
At some point you’re going to have to reconcile yourself to the reality that Biden is the President and he’s going to be for the next 4 years.

Well the legislative body can say anything they want to, but it's up to a Judge to decide if their evidence is valid, or if they have any evidence at all.

So far, no Judge has ruled that fraud occured, showing that there is no evidence.

You still have not provided quotes which say that the bulk of the cases were decided on merit. The only quote in that link of anything like that comes from Joe Biden.

I directly quoted a Judge saying a Trump case had no merit. I think that certainly qualifies as a valid quote showing that cases were considered on the merits. And for the ones that were dismissed because Trump's lawyers filed cases full of mistakes and using the wrong laws and made other errors that made their cases invalid? That's Trumps fault, not the Judges.  If you want court cases not to be dismissed, you need evidence and to file them without glaring errors and fraudulent practices.

All the dismissed cases are simply proof that Trump can't hire lawyers who know what their doing.

The fact that Trump lost 61 of 62 cases is also very good evidence that the bulk of his lawsuits have none. In fact the only one he won was a lawsuit stopping PA from letting voters fix errors and typos on their addresses. Big win, he stopped a handful of voters from voting. It showed no evidence of fraud.

Here are some more quotes from the Judges who threw them out.

"Judges consistently found there was no substantive evidence to support claims of fraud and irregularities — that Biden’s votes were, in fact, legal votes." - From the article

“This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.” - District Judge Brett H. Ludwig

Trump’s campaign “did not prove under any standard of proof that illegal votes were cast and counted, or legal votes were not counted at all, due to voter fraud, nor in an amount equal to or greater than” Biden’s margin in Nevada - District Court Judge James T. Russell

“Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” - Judge Stephanos Bibas

“Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court.” - District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa

“Plaintiffs have not moved the needle for their fraud theory from conceivable to plausible, which they must do to state a claim under Federal pleading standards,”  - Also from District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa

 “The court finds that there is no credible or reliable evidence that the 2020 General Election in Nevada was affected by fraud.” - Nevada District Judge James Russell

“This Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence,” - U.S. District Court Judge Matthew W. Brann

I have now provided quotes from eight Judges showing that those cases had no evidence.

I asked you to provide a quote from a JUDGE where he accepted evidence of Democratic fraud.  All your quotes are from reporters and news articles and lawyers.  Those are not Judges.

If there are mountains of evidence, why isn't any of it being used in court?  Where is this evidence of fraud in any of these lawsuits?  Funny how it's talked about but not used.

I ask again, where have any Judges said that they accept submitted facts showing Democratic fraud? Please provide quotes from Judges in the cases, not the lawyers or TV personalities.

Any source which doesn’t say what you want it to...the source is wrong or biased.
Any source that does and to you it’s gospel. It’s telling that you continue to post links to the same sources which have been filling you with false hope for the last 2 months.
It’s not my opinion that it’s been false hope - Biden is the President. You’ve spent the last 2 months jumping from one false hope to the next.

“The courts are going to save us.”
“It’s good the courts are rejecting the cases, that just clears the path to the SCOTUS”
“The Kraken will save us”

You even went so far as to think the inauguration may be interrupted and Trump reinstalled, desperately trying to interpret Trump’s use of the word “transition” to mean something other than than what it actually means.

And here we are. Biden is the President, like we all told you he would be.

And here you are now still thinking that could change. It won’t. As others have said, how long are you going to keep this up? How long are you going to continue to hang on the words of the same sources whose previous stories have been shown false?

I wonder if we will start to see a turning of the tide?

Biden is making enemies of Google, Facebook, Twitter et al. I wonder if they will begin a fight back soon? Hunter Biden stories promoted to the top of searches. Stories of dementia following. The gushing praise Biden is getting having accomplished literally zero coming to a halt. I wonder if big tech over played their hand and will soon rue the day they sided with the rotten Democrats? Will be fun to watch as a conservative. Big Tech vs Liberal government. I literally don't give a shit which one of them gets wrecked.

How is he making enemies of them?

Because he is looking to alter section 230

and break up big tech firms

Wrong. The legislative body had already declared and determined that there was fraud and that the data would contain further evidence of fraud, and used its authority and power to issue these subpoenas. That's why it is permissible to say that they are handing over evidence of fraud.

Well the legislative body can say anything they want to, but it's up to a Judge to decide if their evidence is valid, or if they have any evidence at all.

So far, no Judge has ruled that fraud occured, showing that there is no evidence.

Quote
The whole 'no judges considered any lawsuits on the merits' is a myth, plenty of judges specifically took the Trump lawyers to task for not providing any evidence. They were very clear on this.

You have provided zero sources on this claim that they assessed the merits of the bulk of the fraud cases, while I have provided plenty to the contrary.

Have 60.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/08/joe-biden/joe-biden-right-more-60-trumps-election-lawsuits-l/

Here is one judge from Pennsylvania ruling on one of Trumps factless lawsuits before throwing it out:

"Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

You still have not provided quotes which say that the bulk of the cases were decided on merit. The only quote in that link of anything like that comes from Joe Biden.

I directly quoted a Judge saying a Trump case had no merit. I think that certainly qualifies as a valid quote showing that cases were considered on the merits. And for the ones that were dismissed because Trump's lawyers filed cases full of mistakes and using the wrong laws and made other errors that made their cases invalid? That's Trumps fault, not the Judges.  If you want court cases not to be dismissed, you need evidence and to file them without glaring errors and fraudulent practices.

All the dismissed cases are simply proof that Trump can't hire lawyers who know what their doing.

The fact that Trump lost 61 of 62 cases is also very good evidence that the bulk of his lawsuits have none. In fact the only one he won was a lawsuit stopping PA from letting voters fix errors and typos on their addresses. Big win, he stopped a handful of voters from voting. It showed no evidence of fraud.

Here are some more quotes from the Judges who threw them out.

"Judges consistently found there was no substantive evidence to support claims of fraud and irregularities — that Biden’s votes were, in fact, legal votes." - From the article

“This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.” - District Judge Brett H. Ludwig

Trump’s campaign “did not prove under any standard of proof that illegal votes were cast and counted, or legal votes were not counted at all, due to voter fraud, nor in an amount equal to or greater than” Biden’s margin in Nevada - District Court Judge James T. Russell

“Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” - Judge Stephanos Bibas

“Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court.” - District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa

“Plaintiffs have not moved the needle for their fraud theory from conceivable to plausible, which they must do to state a claim under Federal pleading standards,”  - Also from District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa

 “The court finds that there is no credible or reliable evidence that the 2020 General Election in Nevada was affected by fraud.” - Nevada District Judge James Russell

“This Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence,” - U.S. District Court Judge Matthew W. Brann

I have now provided quotes from eight Judges showing that those cases had no evidence.

I asked you to provide a quote from a JUDGE where he accepted evidence of Democratic fraud.  All your quotes are from reporters and news articles and lawyers.  Those are not Judges.

If there are mountains of evidence, why isn't any of it being used in court?  Where is this evidence of fraud in any of these lawsuits?  Funny how it's talked about but not used.

I ask again, where have any Judges said that they accept submitted facts showing Democratic fraud? Please provide quotes from Judges in the cases, not the lawyers or TV personalities.

You quoted two judges twice in there, bolded above Looks like you don't really have much.

And we have discussed some of those quotes and they are not actually talking about the fraud cases. They are talking about the procedural cases .There are fraud cases and cases complaining that the state did not properly follow the law. You have some quotes from those mixed in with your quotes; IE the 'strained legal arguments' quote. That's not actually talking about a case about voter fraud.

By providing only a few quotes from judges about merit in a particular case you have not provided evidence that the bulk of the "60 cases" were decided on merit, or that the voter fraud cases did not have merit. In fact, you shown the opposite, that you are unable to substantiate this claim.

Since you are unable to substantiate your claim, kindly cease from repeating this lie.

You quoted two judges twice in there.

I quoted one on purpose twice, but did not notice the other, my mistake.  So I have quotes from 7 different Judges saying they found the evidence to be lacking instead of 8.

And we have discussed some of those quotes and they are not actually talking about the fraud cases. They are talking about the procedural cases .There are fraud cases and cases complaining that the state did not properly follow the law. You have some quotes from those mixed in with your quotes.

By providing a few direct quotes from judges about merit, you have not provided evidence that the bulk of the cases were decided on merit. In fact, you show that you are unable to substantiate this claim.

You have shifted the goalposts here. This is what I said: "The whole 'no judges considered any lawsuits on the merits' is a myth, plenty of judges specifically took the Trump lawyers to task for not providing any evidence."

I said it was a myth that no judges considered the merits of the case. I've supplied several quotes that show that in fact several did. This substantiates my claim.

You moved the goalposts to now demand I show the 'bulk' of the lawsuits were on merits, but that was not my claim.

I agree that a large number of the lawsuits were thrown out due to Trump's lawyers filing them incorrectly and making large mistakes that got them thrown out. That is only proof that his lawyers are pretty bad, and not very supportive of any argument that Trump is about to suddenly start winning cases. They have had plenty of time to re-file them correctly, if they had any evidence to back them up.

I am still waiting to see any evidence at all of massive Democratic fraud that's been accepted by a Judge. If you can't provide any, I stand by my claim that no credible evidence of it exists.

Take a look at one of your other quotes. The Ludwig case was not a fraud case, and wouldn't support your argument that there is no fraud because the bulk of fraud cases were dismissed on merit.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/12/us/trump-election-lawsuit-wisconsin.html

"“This court has allowed the plaintiff the chance to make his case,” Judge Ludwig wrote, “and he has lost on the merits.”

The suit in Milwaukee in many ways echoed the petition filed by Texas, which was backed by 17 Republican attorneys general and more than 100 Republican members of the House of Representatives.

Unlike other legal challenges by the president, the suit in Milwaukee did not allege that voting fraud took place in Wisconsin. Rather, it accused a group of state and local election officials of violating state law by expanding the manner in which absentee ballots were received and processed this year in an unusual election that took place during a pandemic."

If you want to focus on the word fraud, why not examine these three quotes?  This is also you shifting the goalposts, I did not limit my statement to 'fraud' either. That's twice you have done that.

This shows conclusively that some judges did rule on the merits of the case, and found the evidence to be entirely lacking. Which is exactly what I claimed.

It is you who is "shifting the goal posts". It is repeated that the courts found no validity to voter fraud, so you need to show that the bulk of the cases were dismissed on merit.

In the Stinson case, there were a large number of fraudulent votes that had been discovered and proven. To date, nobody has found 7 million fake votes for Biden. Even after multiple hand recounts in several battleground states.

They were very clear on this.

Biden won, legitimately and honestly and is not going to be removed by any fantasy lawsuit with nonexistent evidence. He won by over 7 million votes. Nobody has been able to show any large scale fraud. In fact in Pennsylvania after an extremely detailed check found only three fraudulent votes. Three. All voting

You have provided zero sources on this claim that they assessed the merits of the bulk of the fraud cases, while I have provided plenty to the contrary.

Nowhere in that quote did I say that 'the bulk' of the lawsuits were decided on the merits, you added that one yourself.  Nowhere in that quote did I state that I was talking only about fraud, I didn't even mention fraud. I said evidence. If I had meant 'only fraud' I would have said so. Evidence includes fraud, it is not limited to only fraud so shy should my examples?

You added [for voter fraud] because you ASSUMED I was talking about fraud and only fraud, when what I actually said was evidence. You are free to assume things, you are not free to demand I agree with you.  Especially when I wrote them and know exactly what I meant, and did write.

Just to make things clear, I never even remotely indicated that the ONLY kind of voting irregularities was 'fraud' and was specifically excluding all other forms. I did not restrict my claim to just a subset of Trumps lost cases. So by saying I can only now use quotes with the word 'fraud' in them is shifting the goalposts at best.

I stand by my claim that saying no judges considered the merits of any of Trumps cases is false. And I am confident my quotes back me up.

I did back it up. It was declared that it was evidence of voter fraud by the judiciary committee. I provided a quote on that. That's why it can be called evidence of voter fraud. If you want more details on the type and kind of evidence that committee has determined, do your own research. I never made a claim on any specificity they determined.

You were incorrect and wrong about that too. You do not know what evidence is. Claims are evidence. Someone's word is considered to be evidence.

If someone makes a claim or accusation it is considered to be evidence, and is worth talking about.

""'[T]he testimony of a single witness [can be enough] to support a conviction'" (People v Schulz, 4 NY3d 521, 530 [2005] quoting People v Arroyo, 54 NY2d 567, 578 [1982]). Although corroboration is not necessary in support of a rape prosecution, the underage victim's testimony was bolstered by her prompt outcry the morning after the first rape occurred..."

From https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/united-states-proposed-jury-instructions on jury instructions:

"Similarly, the government is not required to prove the essential elements of the offense by any particular number of witnesses, or by every witness. The testimony of a single witness can be sufficient to convince you beyond a reasonable doubt of the existence of an essential element of the offense charged if you believe that the witness was truthful."

All it takes is for a single claim and for the jury to think that they are truthful.

Ask a lawyer: https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/-so-if-there-is-no-physical-evidence-other-than-wi-1717488.html

Q: “So If there is no physical evidence other than withness testimony, can one still be convicted? Would it be hard for the prosecution to get a conviction?”

Benjamin David Goldberg
Criminal Defense Attorney in Marietta, GA

A: "The answer to your first question is yes. In fact, judges often instruct juries that the testimony of a single witness is sufficient to establish a fact. That means that, for most offenses, a person can be convicted based solely on another person's testimony (unless that other person is an accomplice). The second question is impossible to answer without knowing all the facts and circumstances of the particular case."

https://www.slgattorneysflorida.com/the-state-only-has-one-witness-isn-t-that-hearsay.html

"We often get questions about whether the State can convict you of a crime when they only have one single witness in a "he said/she said" type of case. We usually get the question, "Isn't that hearsay?" Is "he said/she said" testimony hearsay and inadmissible?

No. Eyewitness testimony is not hearsay. Hearsay relates to when a witness testifies about an out of court statement. For example, if Jill testifies, "John told me that Phil punched him," this statement is hearsay because Jill is testifying about John's out of court statement. Now if John testifies that Phil punched him, that is not hearsay, because John is testifying to what happened, not what somebody told him.

Also, hearsay is not always inadmissible. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule where an out of court statement would be admissible."

https://splinternews.com/people-are-convicted-based-on-one-witness-all-the-time-1829367479

People Are Convicted Based on One Witness All The Time

"I rob you on a dark, deserted street at night. You call the police. You describe me. The police find me. You confirm it was me. You testify against me. I go to jail. This sort of thing is completely normal.

Sure, the police and prosecutors would like to have as much evidence as possible. They would like to have another witness, or my DNA, or to find the items that I stole from you in my possession. But if they don’t have any of those additional things—if they only have your own testimony that I robbed you—I have news for you: they will still arrest me. And, if the jury finds your testimony to be credible, they will find me guilty, and I will go to jail."

You didn't answer the question, what fraud evidence, specifically, was released "One Hour After Biden Sworn In..."?  That's your claim. Back it up.

I did back it up. It was declared that it was evidence of voter fraud by the judiciary committee. I provided a quote on that. That's why it can be called evidence of voter fraud. If you want more details on the type and kind of evidence that committee has determined, do your own research. I never made a claim on any specificity they determined.


Quote from: stack
I don't necessarily want to talk about it. It's just exemplary of the sheer metric ton of unsubstantiated claims you glom on to without a smidge of evidence. All because your narrative has been shown to be false. And your Falconer and Survivor contestant's terabytes of treasonous evidence against the Obama administration just so happens to be one of the more fantastical ones you were hanging on to. And then "poof", it disappeared. All in all, you have have less than zero credibility when it comes to your claims, as evidenced by everything you've put forth for the past couple of months.

You were incorrect and wrong about that too. You do not know what evidence is. Claims are evidence. Someone's word is considered to be evidence.

If someone makes a claim or accusation it is considered to be evidence, and is worth talking about.

Cool. So what's the update on the terabytes of treasonous evidence your Falconer and Survivor contestant have on the Obama admin including Joe Biden? The way you were all fired up about the metric ton of evidence they had for their claims - that it would not only take out Biden but erase the entire Obama legacy - seems pretty awesome and a Kraken x10 from your perspective. Do you still support their claims? What's the latest? I mean voter fraud is one thing, but having Navy Seals murdered to conceal a false flag operation seems way, way more devastating. Way more than say, Melissa Carone’s evidence.

I am deciding for myself that believing in a massive conspiracy and accusing people of murder based on a picture is just sad.

(https://i.ibb.co/stmhJpn/55ecacd.png)

Finding pictures of two people that have similar facial features isn't that hard.  Here is an example of four people that even have the exact same name.  It's not evidence of anything except it's easy to find two people that look similar when you have a few billion to pick from.

Obama and Hillary didn't murder seal team six, and Trump lost the election. If there is evidence to the contrary, I haven't seen it, and I have seen plenty of evidence that shows both claims to be false at best, and slanderous lies at worst.

The funny thing is you could pick random pictures of the same person mixed in with other people and have a hard time telling them apart. The same thing was done with the Challenger crew, including harassment of the families and innocent people. All because some names and faces looked similar. This is the danger of falling into the conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

I saw a video of some poor soul who conspiracy nuts mistake for one of the Challenger crew who "secretly survived". He sounded quite frustrated at the number of people who contact him to ask him about it simply because he happens to have the same name as one of the crew and presumably has a passing similarity physically and confirmation bias does the rest to the hardened conspiracy theorist.

Not understanding my point is not helping yours. I am claiming that it's trivial to find pictures of a person that looks like another person. Thus the example with your profile, and they even have the same name. Finding such a picture is not valid evidence any more than finding a person with the same name. These people are guaranteed to exist.

Have you stopped to wonder what the family of this dead solder must be thinking to see people like you spreading false conspiracy theories that they are still alive?  Do you not think that causes them pain to see them used to prop up some crazy political murder conspiracy?  These people lost a son, a husband, a father.  Do they not deserve any consideration?

The top picture does indeed have extremely similar features. Other than the black wig, look at the mouth. Exact same expression and shape. Same lips. Same cheek dimples. Same nose. The ears look similar. The right eyebrow is arched exactly the same in both pictures.

If you claim that two people looking alike proves they are the same person, then you have to explain your doppelgangers.

If this guy were really a dead solider, DNA evidence would be the way to prove it. No messing around with pointing moles.

It's all very flimsy evidence to decide to spread a hateful conspiracy theory that if wrong, is just causing pain and suffering to the innocent families of those who died. Who would be that callous?

This leads you to believe that the reports of his death, the obituary, his grieving family... all is somehow faked and his entire team was murdered by Obama and Hillary and covered up. But he is all right and making videos about it now?

Because of some spots on a video.  Would you believe anyone who made a video claiming outlandish things from a dead person, as long as they have some moles that line up?  It seems like a very shallow standard of evidence to make such a large leap of faith from.

Nope. The fact that we can get one of those moles to match location is evidence. The mole fades in and out of his body, and lack of a visible mole is not a reliable piece of evidence to determine that it's not him. Two random people do not have moles at the same location, so the match of a single mole is evidence.

Find me an Elvis impersonator who has the same facial deformities as the real Elvis. The color and swirl of this guy's hair is also a close match. Not everyone has this hair, this crooked nose and this facial disfigurement between the eyebrows.

There is a sample of one person claiming to be this guy, and the assertion that we can look through thousands of people and get similarities is not a valid comparison. It is also not feasible to look through thousands of people and find ones with the same facial deformities and likeness.

You are expecting us to believe this is the same person because of a few superficial features you think look the same?

As I said before, his ears are completely different.

The facial disfigurement between the eyebrows is completely different, they are curved in different directions!

One of their faces is much more gaunt than the other, skin tone is different, hairstyles are different, one has a mole over his right eyebrow that is missing on the other, one is covered in freckles and the other is not, eye color doesn't look the same, one has much wider nostrils than the other, eye shape is different, one has thicker bushier eyebrows, eyebrows are not the same color, spacing between the nose and upper lip is not the same, teeth gaps are not the same, neck wrinkles are not the same, missing moles on the neck.

If you want to cherry-pick a few similar features you aren't going to convince anyone.

As for why the guy who is claiming to be the other guy happens to look like the other guy? Self selection? I have no idea what this guys motive is, other than to fool gullible people.

If this guy is alive, why isn't he shown with his family? You would think they would want to see their dead husband/father. Why are they not claiming he's alive?

Honestly, the guy sounds like a nutjob. Talking in riddles and being all weird with mentioning memory wipes. I'm not sure how you think this indicates he's a dead seal member, it looks like someone with a mental issue to me.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/bellwether-counties-went-overwhelmingly-for-trump-in-2020_3579578.html?utm_source=share-btn-copylink

Quote
Over the past nearly 40 years, presidential elections have observed an intriguing phenomenon: 19 counties in the nation have always voted for the winner, be it Republican or Democrat.

They’ve been dubbed “bellwether counties” and until this year, no president since at least Ronald Reagan has missed even one.

In 2020, all but one of the bellwethers picked President Donald Trump by a margin of some 16 points on average. Only one, Clallam County in Washington, went for former Vice President Joe Biden and only by about a three-point margin.

Yet unofficial vote counts now show Biden in the lead and with enough electoral votes to claim the presidency. Trump is challenging the results in several states, alleging fraud, voter suppression, and illegal restrictions on Republican poll watchers. Two states have announced recounts.

Bellwethers aren’t a crystal ball—their streak was expected to end sooner or later. But what would be striking is for it to end so radically.

There is another bellwether list of 58 counties that has correctly picked each president since 2000; Trump won 51 of them by an average margin of nearly 15 points. The ones he lost went to Biden by a margin of about four points on average.

And then there’s Vigo County in Indiana—the quintessential bellwether that has correctly picked the winner in all but two elections since 1888. In both of the missteps, the residents wrongly picked the losing Democrat: Williams Jennings Bryan over President William Taft in 1908 and Adlai Stevenson over President Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.

This year, Vigo went for Trump by nearly 15 points, roughly the same as in 2016. An Emerson poll conducted shortly before Election Day was completely off, showing Trump and Biden neck and neck.

Bellwether Characteristics

The 19 bellwethers tend to be poorer, whiter, older, and less educated than the rest of the country, according to an August paper by researchers from the University of Denver and the University of New Hampshire.

There’s significant variability among them, though. Median household incomes range from $65,000 in Bremer County, Iowa, to $32,000 in Hidalgo County in New Mexico. Both Hidalgo and Valencia County, New Mexico, are close to 60 percent Hispanic, while Westmoreland County in Virginia is almost one-third black. Sawyer County, Wisconsin, and Clallam County, Washington, have “substantial Native American populations,” the authors said.

The counties “tend to be clustered in the Midwest and the Northeast, with only four of the counties not falling into one of those regions,” they said.

Westmoreland is the only one of the counties in the South, Clallam is the only one on the West Coast, and Hidalgo and Valencia are the only counties in the Mountain West.

“The unequal geographic distribution is a somewhat curious phenomenon of bellwether counties. Eleven of the 19 were located in just six Midwestern states, and Wisconsin alone is home to four,” they said.

The counties are also mostly small and rural.

“Just two have populations in excess of 100,000,” the authors said.

The bellwethers’ ability to predict the winner has been attributed to a large swath of voters willing to switch party preference from one election to the next.

Scoring All Counties
The researchers also mapped all U.S. counties (over 3,000) by their “bellwether score”—their record of voting for the overall winner in each of the previous 10 presidential elections—giving progressively larger weight to more recent elections.

“The bellwether scores map highlights the fact that many states have a good bellwether county or two, even if they did not make the list of the 19 counties which have always voted for the winning candidate,” they said.

“Many counties in states that have reliably voted for one party for many cycles are home to counties which have almost always voted for the winner of the election; for example, South Carolina has two strong bellwether counties despite being a reliably Republican state, and California has a number of strong bellwethers in its central valley despite being a reliably Democratic state.”

They also found that high-scoring counties exhibit a geographic trend.

“The upper Midwest, upstate New York, and northern New England are home to a disproportionate share of high-scoring counties,” they said.

“High scoring bellwether counties in these regions tend to border other high-scoring counties, unlike their counterparts in the South and West, which tend to see high scoring bellwethers somewhat isolated from each other. The Upper Mississippi River Valley and it [sic] surrounding area, in particular, appears to be an epicenter of these high-scoring bellwethers.”

And then there’s Vigo County in Indiana—the quintessential bellwether that has correctly picked the winner in all but two elections since 1888. In both of the missteps, the residents wrongly picked the losing Democrat: Williams Jennings Bryan over President William Taft in 1908 and Adlai Stevenson over President Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.

This year, Vigo went for Trump by nearly 15 points, roughly the same as in 2016. An Emerson poll conducted shortly before Election Day was completely off, showing Trump and Biden neck and neck.

So now it's happened three times since 1888 - Looks like we can add a third misstep to Vigo County. A perfect example why the bellwether argument is lame.

I hadn't heard of bellwether counties before. It's interesting, sure, but it's also clearly just coincidence, not any kind of serious predictor of elections. Obviously these counties aren't some kind of magical nexus to the nation's political leanings. To be suspicious of the fact that some of them finally went against the grain is like being suspicious of the fact that the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 when they hadn't done so since 1918. Things happen until they don't. Patterns exist until they're broken. Nothing lasts forever.

Tom, do you actually think that bellwether counties are some sort of nexus to the nation's political leanings? That we can actually look at how these counties vote and scientifically determine how the entire nation will vote as a result? If the answer is yes, then I think you ought to offer some sort of explanation, because I think most rational people would agree that doesn't make any sense. And if the answer is no, then you should just accept that bellwether counties are fairly interesting phenomena that don't actually mean anything in a scientific or statistical sense. Weird patterns and coincidences form by happenstance all the time, and they stop happening all the time too.

"But the bellwether counties" has got to be the flimsiest argument in favor of the election being fraudulent.

So according to your theory more republicans voted for Biden this cycle. But according the anomalies this isn't true. If more republicans were voting for Biden, he should be up everywhere.

In general Biden lost many counties, winning the lowest number of counties in Wisconson as compared to previous presidents. Why should this be if more republicans are voting for Biden?

Over the past nearly 40 years, presidential elections have observed an intriguing phenomenon: 19 counties in the nation have always voted for the winner, be it Republican or Democrat.

That particular bit of bad math has been destroyed repeatedly.

The argument is basically "Well this thing happened before and didn't happen now so this other thing is totally wrong."

The reality is populations and demographics change, and indicators are just indicators, they change with them.

There is nothing abnormal about that.  It's an 'intriguing phenomenon' not a mathematical law.

I could find a similar group of counties to prove Trump's election was invalid too, it wouldn't be any more meaningful.

2. Trump definitely underperformed with minorities. Got more votes than obama because....more people voted than in any election in US history. This was predicted to occur long before a democratic nominee was even selected.
3. Bellweather counties dont matter. Might as well be talking about a groundhog and his shadow.

Here you go, I ran the numbers and guess what, Trump stole the 2016 election!

Over the past nearly 30 years, presidential elections have observed an intriguing phenomenon: 73 counties in the nation have always voted for the winner, be it Republican or Democrat.  But in 2016, all 73 of these voted for Hillary Clinton.  Yet Trump won.  How is is possible for these counties to have ALL voted for the winner, every time since 2000... but in 2016 they went for Hillary which clearly indicates she was the winner, but somehow Trump was declared President?

Can you explain this, Tom?  Trump stole it... 73 counties proves it, right?  It's unprecedented!

Has Trump ever been president?  No?
Then historical significance is irrelevant.  No time in history has 10% of a party hated their own president more than the democratic candidate.

The existence of The Lincolin project is proof enough.

Besides, states are won by total population count, not by county.  Like look at New York.  Most counties are red.  But because most of the population of the state is in the city, and that votes heavily Democrat... NY goes to democrats.  See how that works, or do we need to work on basic math?

I can point to the fact that Hillary won 73 Bellwethers in 2016. Can you prove Trump didn't steal the 2016 election? You can't argue with my Bellwethers.

Bellwethers are worthless for proving fraud. We had a massive pandemic that Trump screwed up big time with 400,000 people dead. Bellwether counties aren't going to ignore that. They are just people who vote, they are not statistics that are forced to obey their previous voting habits.

Trump lost in 2020.  He lost by, like a lot, by over 7 million votes and a landslide in the electoral college. 

Months and months of searching hasn't found anything but a handful of fraudulent Trump voters.

You can post all the statistics you find on the internet you want but it all comes down to a simple fact that more people wanted Trump out of office than wanted him to stay. 

Trump supporters claimed he was going to win, they were wrong. They claimed it would be overturned over and over in court, they were wrong again and again. They claimed on the 6th they would fix it, they were wrong. They claimed Trump would still be 'the next administration' on the 20th, they were wrong.

And they are wrong now, claiming Trump is going to be reinstated, and wrong saying it was stolen.  If you want historical trends, Trump supporters being wrong is a good one.

You spent months saying that wouldn't happen. You might want to try a bit of introspection and consider that you don't understand things as well as you think you do. Of course you can find sources which back up your viewpoint, anyone can these days.  But the objective facts are Trump and his cohorts lost all the cases, just like we told you they would. The SCOTUS laughed him out of court, just like we told you they would. The Kraken was as mythical as expected, just like we told you it was. And Biden was elected, certified and inaugurated.

You can use statistics badly to prove almost anything. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing when it comes to statistics.

Trump won 2016 on the longer term Bellwethers. That is a statistical point in Trump's favor. His results were also consistent in the state county counts posted.

Still waiting for the compelling statistical arguments in favor of Biden. I just see arguments that ridiculous anomalies are "possible" without supporting evidence for those arguments, and without any positive statistical evidence to present supporting Biden's win.

The evidence is that Biden won the election.  Bellwether's are not a necessary phenomena in human behavior, so why should something related to them be seen as necessarily casting doubt on an election?

There were >7 million more points of compelling statistical evidence for Biden than for Trump.

All of the statistical anomalies you're alluding to have either been demonstrated to rely on false premises by mathematicians and political scientists, or, as in the bellweather examples, irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Nope. I can point to the fact that Trump won Bellwethers in 2016. Can you show ANY historical statistical significance in Biden's favor?

I can point to the fact that Hillary won 73 Bellwethers in 2016.
Please do.

I already did, these counties voted for the Presidential winner since 2000, but strangely in 2016 they were ALL wrong.  How could this be... clearly Trump cheated.

Posting a list of counties and stating they are bellweather counties based on what? Elections since 2000? C'mon man!

Based on the fact they voted for the winning president every year since at least 2000.  I don't have access to data for years before that or I'd expand the list. It's the same criteria that Tom used.

Do you feel the same way about Tom's Bellweather 'evidence' as mine? Is his data just as bad? So 30 years of data is terrible but 40 years is totally legit?
Where do you see 40 years?

I see nearly 50 (and for a majority it seems to be over 100).

Cutting corners seems to be a favorite activity of yours.

Where did I see 40 years?  Read the thread you are commenting in.  Right here.

Over the past nearly 40 years, presidential elections have observed an intriguing phenomenon: 19 counties in the nation have always voted for the winner, be it Republican or Democrat.

Tell you what, you buy or find me the historical voting data for the past 100 years and I can run my analysis on it and give you data showing Trump is a big cheater using it. Would that make you happy?

I don't see you contributing anything but claiming 40 years is absolute proof and 30 years is totally not proving anything. It's easy to criticize someone elses work.

But I'll look for more data. If I find it and can match Toms data going back 50 or 100 years, will you commit to either accept both sets of data, or admitting both are easy to create?

I'm claiming that Joe Biden is popular. I also claim that my friends and colleagues are happy he was elected. They voted for him.

No one is going to walk you through the ridiculousness of arguing Benford's law again; we did that in November. We're also not going to go through the 'one-in-a-bazillion' claims again. You've been shown why bell weather  counties dont matter - and you've been shown counter-bellweathers (which also dont matter!). You've been shown how Biden could have won despite winning a relatively small number of counties.

People here have tried to hold your hand and walk you through this complex election cycle (that went very predictably I might add). But if you keep choosing to willfully not understand what's happening, well, that's on you.

Virginia did NOT win for Biden.

I was up the night of the election on https://www.elections.virginia.gov and they had counted Abigail Spanberger as losing to the red candidate. Ditto for most of the districts, they were overwhelmingly red. Up until 11pm when I fell asleep. Yet the news was reporting as though Biden had already won, when they were still saying projected results and that they hadn't counted all % yet.  This when some districts had 80% or 90% reporting, and a complete flip is implausible.

The next morning, I woke up and it had flipped blue!

What Virginia really looks like on a district map.

All the statistical evidence I need that Biden legitimately won the election is that Biden received 306 electoral votes. That's all the statistical evidence required. And the courts all agree. Now 2020's statistical evidence is part of all Presidential election statistical evidence that will be added to the 2024 Presidential election stats and so on. Stats are fun like that.

NY is similar.  What that map doesn't show is how the losers did. If each county was 49/51% would that make more sense to you?

Also, again, population is a thing.  A county of 20,000 people doesn't hold as much weight as a county of a few million.  Yet that map doesn't show the weight.

Sigh.

This really isn't difficult to understand. Look. This is from last September:

Quote
CNN polls released last month found that a record number of voters plan to cast ballots in the mail, and that this surge is driven by supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden. Fueling this partisan divide is President Donald Trump's months-long public relations campaign against mail-in voting, which he has falsely said leads to widespread fraud and "rigged" elections.
It takes longer to count mail-in ballots, and in many states, ballots are still admissible if they are postmarked by Election Day but arrive later. In simple terms, this means the partial results that get reported on Election Night will probably look worse for Biden than the final, complete count

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/01/politics/2020-election-count-red-mirage-blue-shift/index.html

This was all known long before election day. Why are so many people being surprised and expressing incredulity about things which were known? ???

Have you heard of population density?
What you're suggesting is that counties with a low population should "count" more than those with a high population.
Taking an extreme example. Imagine a state with 50 counties.
49 have a population of 1 each.
The other county has a population of a million.
Let's say the 49 people in the 49 counties all vote for Trump.
And all million people in the last county vote for Biden.

So in terms of counties you have 49-1, a nice red map with a little splash of blue.
But in terms of votes it's a million to Biden and 49 to Trump (or you could imagine it the other way around)
Are you suggesting that State should be red because of the 49 people?

What's your definition of 'statistical evidence'? 

How about the statistic that presidents who screw up badly lose election?

Your Bellwether statistics are not proof, I showed that by making my own for the 2016 Trump win showing the exact same trend of Bellwether states going to Hillary and Trump winning instead.

Using cherry-picked statistics after the fact is not proof. The image above, that is proof that he won. Those are the votes. I know Trump can't handle the idea of losing, but he did. Big.

Great, I am glad that you confirm that you have no good explanation to the ridiculous anomalies present in Joe Biden's vote counts. It makes things a lot easier when your opponent is at a loss for words and can't defend themselves or their chosen politician.

I gave you an example of "anomalies" several times in this thread, and you have yet to explain how yours are any more or less relevant.  I showed you 'Bellwethers' for the 2016 election that proved Trump lost. So how are your statistics proof and mine are not? Same thing, showing counties that always voted for the winner, until they 'mysteriously' picked the loser. So very suspicious!

I can come up with anomalies all day long for or against any President and it doesn't prove anything.

That is the explanation. That your anomalies are meaningless nonsense, made up after the fact to try and foster doubt and anger in Trump supporters. They are not proof of anything but how gullible some people can be.

A fraudulent election is a pretty big deal, and it would certainly be if we had one.  But it was a secure election, the most secure election in American history.  Said by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Chris Krebs, who was appointed by Trump. Biden won by 7 million votes. Nobody can prove he changed 7 of them, let alone 7 million.

And as discussed, Trump won on the longer term bellwethers than what you posted. That's a statistical point for Trump. His counts are also in line with the two county charts I posted above. You have yet to post any statistical arguments in favor of Joe Biden's win.

That's your entire argument then, that the statistics you found on the internet go back longer than mine?  Using 30 years is nothing but 40... that's proof!

So mine are made up and easily dismissed but yours are PROOF of Biden stealing the election simply because I used less years?  That's a huge stretch and you know it.  Again this is conformation bias.. my numbers are wrong but yours are right.

As for me not showing any data supporting Biden, that's only because I can't find the data for 2020 with paying for it.  I offered before, and will offer again. If someone wants to buy me access to all the historical and current data, I'll happily produce charts and graphs showing matching anomalies for whoever you want.

Statistical 'points' made up after the fact are meaningless. Just because a coin was heads last time, doesn't mean it's any more likely to be tails this time just because of statistics. 

The simple fact is Trump did things than made a lot of people angry at him and they voted him out of office. This is simply what happens when you screw up badly. You get fired.

Wait, is the argument really "states voted really different than before this time"? Would evidence of this happening all the time throughout elections be satisfactory for you?

Also, those don't honestly look all that anomalous so much as indicative of a general rightward shift over the last few elections. You'll notice that, in both cases, starting after Bush (though the second graph leaves him out for some reason), the Republicans start tending to win more counties. Obama v McCain was 53 Obama, 46 McCain. Then 38 Obama, 61 Romney. Then 93 Trump, 6 Hillary. So, yeah, 90 Trump, 9 Biden isn't that wild of a shift. Iowa just didn't move much this election.

Similar for Wisconsin. 59 Obama, 13 McCain. Then 35 Obama, 37 McCain. Then 59 Trump, 13 Hillary, then 58 Trump, 14 Biden. And Trump just barely eked out a victory against Hillary there, so Biden winning a larger city is more than enough to make up for that ~30,000 vote difference. Bonus points: I live here, so I've borne witness to Wisconsin's rightward shift over my lifetime.

I simply don't see how this is any different than SexWarrior's "no president with a mole on the upper-right half of his temple has ever won before" post. Every single trend is going to be broken at some point.

Define a "statistical argument"? What exactly do you mean by that? Are you disputing the exact number of votes a candidate received? Are you advocating for Presidential elections to be determined based upon "statistical arguments" rather than votes?
What other things can you personally statistically predict? Got any stock tips based upon your statistical arguments? What's the statistical argument for GME closing at $325 a share today?

The point is statistical evidence isn't evidence of anything. You have proved nothing at all, and I showed that by finding the exact came kind of evidence you did.

Biden won because he got more votes than Trump.  We know this because we counted them.  These are simple facts, proven far beyond a shadow of a doubt.

There are no discrepancies. Cities overwhelmingly voted for Biden, rural farmland overwhelmingly voted for Trump. So of course Trump won more counties. But that's not even a real argument.

People vote, Tom. Not counties. Not houses, not families, not districts or townships or states or regions even the country. People vote, that's who we count.

And 80 million people voted for Biden.  We counted them.  If you think this is a lie, show us the fake votes.  Find ten million people who had their votes switched.

It's nice that ridiculous anomalies are possible and all, but when you have only ridiculous anomalies to justify and no strong positive correlation it is not good evidence that Joe Biden was legitimately elected.

Nothing about the 2020 election cycle was normal.  We were in the middle of a pandemic for starters, and nothing about Trump is in any way normal!  His hair is a massive anomaly. So no, nothing about it was normal.

You however can't just make the jump from not normal to completely faked and fraudulent.

Not without evidence, which does not exist. Saying it's not normal isn't evidence.

The vote counts and returns which showed Biden winning by 7 million votes? That's evidence that he won. We count votes. Not abnormalities.

sigh.

They are neither “normal” nor are they irrefutable evidence of fraud.

Any election produces lots of data. In that amount of data you’re going to find some “anomalies”. But they’re not really anomalies in the way you’re using the word. They are, at most, interesting statistical quirks. It’s not hard to find them if you look at enough data - especially if you have an agenda and you’re trying to “prove” a point.

If I flip a coin 10 times and get heads every time then you’d have cause to think that I was using a biased coin. If I flip a coin 10,000 times and then look at all the data then if you ended up with 9,000 heads and 1,000 tails then, again, that would be highly suspicious. But if in that sequence of 10,000 flips you saw a run of 10 heads in a row then that wouldn’t be a smoking gun of anything. In a sequence that long it’s not unreasonable. I actually saw a magician (Derren Brown, check him out, he does some interesting stuff) flip 10 heads in a row in one of his TV specials in one continuous take. At the end of the program they showed how he did it - he literally stood there all day until he did it! He was making the point that “statistical anomalies” are only viewed as such from a certain point of view. If you see the bigger picture then you see they’re not really “anomalies” at all.

You are very much leading the witness here. How do you explain these “ridiculous anomalies”. Well, we don’t accept they are ridiculous anomalies. If anything, the fact that small counties have voted for the eventual winner IS the anomaly. At some point you’d expect that run - like a long run of heads in a coin flip - to end.

You are the one who needs to provide proof of fraud. Trump and his cohorts failed to do that in 60 court cases. Recounts and signature audits reaffirmed the original results. Every state certified the results. The electoral college voted for Biden. He’s in the White House.

2020 saw a record number of votes and mail-in voting during a global pandemic, and was perhaps the most nasty race I've seen? But the voting data itself isnt all that weird.

I'd claim that Trump's 2016 win created a stranger data set. Winning the EC while losing the popular vote is a bigger 'anomaly' than any of the frivolous arguments TB et al. have put forward here. And he did it while stealing huge swaths of typically Dem votes by convincing Cuban ex-pats that Hillary wanted to establish communism, aided by external actors.

Right. My point is in any large data set you can find data which if you have an agenda you can call an anomaly.

So in 2016 Trump got a bigger electoral college majority than anyone in history who lost the popular vote. Every other winning President either won the popular vote or had a narrow electoral college win despite losing the popular vote

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_in_which_the_winner_lost_the_popular_vote

1888 was the only other time in history someone won a big majority in the electoral college without winning the popular vote.

So explain that. Trump can’t possibly have won in 2016. He lost the popular vote and yet won the election by a landslide. Never happened in history. In fact since 1888 there has only been one US election before Trump where the winner lost the popular vote and that was Bush vs Gore which was on a knife edge.

Ergo, there’s no way Trump could have won. Do you expect me to believe he could have got 306 electoral college votes without even winning the popular vote? It’s never happened...

But there is evidence to back Trump's claims. A 2014 study in the online Electoral Studies Journal shows that in the 2008 and 2010 elections, illegal immigrant votes were in fact quite high.

"We find that some noncitizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and congressional elections," wrote Jesse T. Richman, Gulshan A. Chattha, both of Old Dominion University, and David C. Earnest of George Mason University.


Pointing at an anomaly in another election does nothing to support Joe Biden's anomalies, however, and just makes more assumptions.

You're still trying to justify the possibility of anomalies rather than simply showing strong correlation that Joe Biden was legitimately elected. Again, you have presented zero positive evidence, only excuses.

I asked for strong positive correlation showing that Joe Biden was legitimately elected, not more excuses that ridiculous anomalies are possible.

And in order to point at anomalies in the 2016 election you would first need to prove that the election was untainted. You have not. Fallacy.

Why don't we hear what Trumps own re-election team is saying.  A report released in December by Trump chief pollster Tony Fabrizio.

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/01/trump-campaign-autopsy-paints-damning-picture-of-defeat-464636

"The report zeroes in on an array of demographics where Trump suffered decisive reversals in 2020, including among white seniors, the same group that helped to propel him to the White House. The autopsy says that Trump saw the “greatest erosion with white voters, particularly white men,” and that he “lost ground with almost every age group.” In the five states that flipped to Biden, Trump’s biggest drop-off was among voters aged 18-29 and 65 and older."

"Trump’s response to the pandemic was also critical. The autopsy says that coronavirus registered as the top issue among voters, and that Biden won those voters by a nearly 3-to-1 margin. A majority registered disapproval of Trump’s handling of the virus."

"The report also indirectly raises questions about the reelection campaign’s decision to pause advertising on TV over the summer and save resources until the fall. According to the findings, nearly 9-in-10 voters had made up their minds about whom to support by the final month of the race."

Perhaps Tom should be arguing with Trump's own people. They seem to think he lost because, well, he was unpopular, made mistakes and screwed up with the pandemic response.

Or perhaps Tony is just unaware of all the meaningless cherry picked 'statistical evidence' that was made up after the fact.  I'm sure he would be very interested in hearing Tom's theories. Make sure to include some secret messages from Q using the gematrix.org site or use some dead pigeons if that's no longer secure enough.  ::)

Maybe I should send him my 'statistical evidence' of 73 bellwether counties that broke for Hillary in 2016 that prove Trump cheated too.

So explain that. Trump can’t possibly have won in 2016. He lost the popular vote and yet won the election by a landslide. Never happened in history. In fact since 1888 there has only been one US election before Trump where the winner lost the popular vote and that was Bush vs Gore which was on a knife edge.

Ergo, there’s no way Trump could have won. Do you expect me to believe he could have got 306 electoral college votes without even winning the popular vote? It’s never happened...

This is a fallacy. Plenty of people did think that there was a lot of illegal voting in the 2016 election, and that Clinton was receiving illegal votes.

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/trump-is-right-millions-of-illegals-probably-did-vote-in-2016/ - Trump Is Right — Millions Of Illegals Probably Did Vote In 2016

Quote
But there is evidence to back Trump's claims. A 2014 study in the online Electoral Studies Journal shows that in the 2008 and 2010 elections, illegal immigrant votes were in fact quite high.

"We find that some noncitizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and congressional elections," wrote Jesse T. Richman, Gulshan A. Chattha, both of Old Dominion University, and David C. Earnest of George Mason University.


Pointing at an anomaly in another election does nothing to support Joe Biden's anomalies, however, and just makes more assumptions.

You're still trying to justify the possibility of anomalies rather than simply showing strong correlation that Joe Biden was legitimately elected. Again, you have presented zero positive evidence, only excuses.

This year the data were as normal as any other year if you ignore all the factors swirling around. What election data is 'normal'?

2020 saw a record number of votes and mail-in voting during a global pandemic, and was perhaps the most nasty race I've seen? But the voting data itself isnt all that weird.

I'd claim that Trump's 2016 win created a stranger data set. Winning the EC while losing the popular vote is a bigger 'anomaly' than any of the frivolous arguments TB et al. have put forward here. And he did it while stealing huge swaths of typically Dem votes by convincing Cuban ex-pats that Hillary wanted to establish communism, aided by external actors.

The 2020 election was the furthest from normal we've ever seen.  But is the data that came out of it any more irregular than a typical year?

I asked for strong positive correlation showing that Joe Biden was legitimately elected, not more excuses that ridiculous anomalies are possible. That is a pretty weak line of reasoning.

And in order to point at anomalies in the 2016 election you would first need to prove that the election was untainted. You have not. Fallacy.
Everyone knows that shitbag HRC didn't win the popular vote.

Even though Trump won in 2016 you're still mad that Hillary got more votes.

Facts.

Hillary won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes.
Hillary won California by 4.2 million votes.

Should California get to decide who is President every time? No? Well that's why you have an electoral college. Take out California and Trump won the popular vote over the other 49 states by more than one million votes.

So will this finally be positive evidence of election fraud that changed the outcome of the election? Because to date, there has been no positive evidence of election fraud that changed the outcome of the election. I'm looking forward to Friday.

I mean, if voter fraud was proved and credibly attributed to the Biden campaign, he'd probably get impeached or "convinced" to resign. I suspect that might be their endgame at this point, even if it's extremely unlike to come to fruition.

Right-wing extremists aren't very good at following their own advice, or facing reality.  That's what drives them to that extreme in the first place, they can't handle the idea that they are responsible in any way for anything that happens to them. Every problem has to be some other persons fault, as they are perfect.

In their minds, Trump won simply because they can't imagine it might have been their fault.  Like the rioters that were charged, and it turns out they didn't even vote!  Gee, maybe that had something to do with your guy not getting enough votes, eh?

Nope. The court ordered and vetted the antrim machine audit, the only machine audit to occur, and found damning results.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20423772/antrim-county-forensics-report.pdf

"We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified."

The audit also found that the logs were missing:

"Likewise, all server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4, 2020 are
missing. This means that all security logs for the day after the election, on
election day, and prior to election day are gone. Security logs are very important
to an audit trail, forensics, and for detecting advanced persistent threats and
outside attacks, especially on systems with outdated system files. These logs
would contain domain controls, authentication failures, error codes, times users
logged on and off, network connections to file servers between file accesses,
internet connections, times, and data transfers. Other server logs before
November 4, 2020 are present; therefore, there is no reasonable explanation for
the security logs to be missing."

The auditors also said that there was evidence showing that the counts were flipped -

So far no audits have shown any cheating. The worst that was found was in PA where three dead people voted... for Trump. Hah.

I would laugh all day if Arizona does find cheating, and it's by Trump voters which gives Biden even more votes.  Keep em comin.

Now that's what I'd call the best possible outcome.

You lost.  Q is a liar.  Trump isn't coming back.  You will need to find another messiah.

Wrong. After the 2016 election Trump attempted an audit of the election he won because he suspected fraud. The mostly democrat states refused to participate and it was eventually closed.

Mostly Democratic states?  Come on, that's a desperate amount of spin.

Out of 50 states, 45 refused to just hand over all the personal details of all of their residents to a partisan hack of a committee with no safeguards on what would happen to that data.

That's not 'mostly Democratic'.  That's almost every one of them.  I'm glad I don't live in one of the 5 that did, who knows what happened to all that private data.

No one has ever disputed that instances of fraud have occured. There have been multiple instances committed by both Biden and Trump voters. So what? What we are talking about is overturning a certified result. That cannot be done with a few small instances, only widespread fraud. This is all evident.

Similarly, Tom shifting the goal posts from election audits to machine audits is obviously missing the point. Regardless of what you think may have happened with machine voting in Antrim county, a recount of hand marked ballots matched the certified results, which matched the canvass. There hasn’t been any evidence of tampering with tens of thousands of hand marked ballots just bawwing about machines in an audit that appears to be sketchy at best. That isn’t evidence of election fraud. Fraud being plausible still isn’t the same as fraud being probable.

Tom, I will leave it up to you to try and figure out why the vote totals reported on election night would not be accurate. If you can’t, let me know and I can help you.

That mathematician talking about AZ votes is either an idiot or trying to misrepresent the truth. He says that the increase in votes from 1998 to 2020 outstripped the population growth. He then goes on to assert that this must mean that the entire increase in votes should be attributed to the population added. This is obviously false because only 48% of voters voted in 1998. So 52% of the existing 1998 population could have voted in 2020. This is a terrible failure.

Your word salad doesn’t matter. Unless evidence of fraud encompassing tens of thousands of votes is found the election result will stand unless, as Pete says, it can be tied directly to Biden’s campaign in which case he may be forced to resign.

In an interview with Anna Kaight(sp) (You know, the Survivor contestant of the terrabytes of treasonous data and the Falconer fame, that Anna) Piton starts talking about how the actual Census data is wrong after he had done his "calculations". I find that bizarre - Saying Census data is wrong so he runs off with his own extrapolated numbers? In any case, his math qualifications seem to be him just saying he knows Excel pretty well. If that's all you need to consider someone a learned expert in a field, well I guess that says a lot right there.

I don't know about the bulk of them. Some of them I agree were dismissed because the people filing cases for Trump were so incompetent they couldn't even file cases which made sense. But at the ones where they managed to get that right when evidence was presented the judges laughed it out of court. I have shown you video of that happening. You have been shown transcripts of that happening.

Your argument is that a person accused of murder needs to prove they didn't do it. That isn't how any of this works.

They had 60 cases to try and show some evidence which would stand up in court and failed.

Incorrect.

audit will go the way of every other audit this election

Nope. The court ordered and vetted the antrim machine audit, the only machine audit to occur, and found damning results.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20423772/antrim-county-forensics-report.pdf

"We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified."

The audit also found that the logs were missing:

"Likewise, all server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4, 2020 are
missing. This means that all security logs for the day after the election, on
election day, and prior to election day are gone. Security logs are very important
to an audit trail, forensics, and for detecting advanced persistent threats and
outside attacks, especially on systems with outdated system files. These logs
would contain domain controls, authentication failures, error codes, times users
logged on and off, network connections to file servers between file accesses,
internet connections, times, and data transfers. Other server logs before
November 4, 2020 are present; therefore, there is no reasonable explanation for
the security logs to be missing."

The auditors also said that there was evidence showing that the counts were flipped -

This is not positive evidence. This is negative evidence of someone saying they didn't see something. You have no good positive evidence.

I also have quotes from over a dozen government officials saying the contrary, that there are numerous discrepancies, lots of evidence of fraud, and that the election is questionable.

Once again, where is your positive statistical  evidence to support Joe Biden's win to contradict the negative statistical evidence against him?

Where is your machine forensic audit which shows the Dominion machines to be flawless, to contradict the machine forensic audit suggesting fraud?

You can't present any good positive evidence because you don't have any, as you are arguing from a weak position.

The proof is in the 81 million votes Biden got, and the 74 million that Trump got.  That's seven million pieces of direct evidence that he won.

Plenty of audits were carried out, many hand-counted the ballots so there could be no machine tampering.

There simply is no evidence that there was any large scale fraud, or we would have seen it in the near 100 court cases Trump supporters filed and lost. Every recount has shown the vote totals to be accurate, every one.

Nobody has been able to show any evidence that supports Trump winning, and while absence of evidence isn't proof there isn't any... until someone actually finds evidence Biden cheated, he is our legitimate President.

If you are agreeing with the Times article that a powerful corporate cabal "saved the 2020 election" by changing laws, rules, voting systems and molding media coverage then the premise that this was a free and fair election is moot.

Why should elections be orchestrated by corporate interests?

Time Magazine bragging that the election was influenced by a "cabal of powerful people" who changed rules, laws, voting systems, and steered media coverage.

Your own source contradicts you.  Right after the part it underlines it says...

"They were not rigging the election"

If you only look at keywords and ignore the context and meaning of things it will only lead to being confused. You have to read, comprehend, and understand a source and not just cherry-pick a few words or a sentence, or copy-paste a meme.

Nothing in that entire article indicates any fraud was committed, or anything illegal was done.

Laws were changed.  Yes, that's how government works, they pass laws.

You can't tell me that there is no evidence here.
I didn't tell you that.
I told you, and keep telling you, that not all evidence is created equal.
Someone making a claim is evidence, sure. But they had 60 court cases to present some evidence of fraud and failed to present anything which was credible. Which is why Joe Biden is in the White House right now.
That website, which I've seen before, is basically a box set of all the crazy stuff you've been coming out with for the last few months and kept telling us would flip the election any day now.
We told you that wouldn't happen.
It didn't happen.

That’s a great question. I’ve long held that the amount of sway corporate interests have on government is a problem that transcends party lines. Both parties cow-tow to big money. It’s kind of funny that you all of a sudden want to sound the alarm yet have remained silent on people like the Koch brothers and the influence they wield on the right.

Where did I say that 'corporate cabals' should be implicitly trusted?  Please read my post again, carefully this time.

It seems the entirety of your complaint here is this group being called a 'corporate cabal'.  Again, you are focusing on a word and disregarding the entire rest of the article.

You are acting as if there are no 'corporate cabals' working for the right wing trying to get laws passed.  The GOP has been "touching every aspect of the election" for decades.  Are you going to complain about them too and use their existence as proof Trump cheated in 2016?

Do you think right-wing corporate cabals are good? You seem to think so. Why do you think that?

Actually, I would have a problem if there was a corporate cabal trying to get Trump elected, to the extent that they were influencing every aspect of the election like described in the article. I supported Trump's efforts to audit the 2016 election that he won, even though the states didn't participate in the end, and would mean that he would need to resign if it was somehow found that Clinton won due to pro-Trump fraud.

I can see that you don't care if someone influenced the election in your favor, however. Your accusation that I wouldn't care is indicative that you don't care. Your message there is basically saying "why should I care? You don't"

Leftists generally don't care about election fraud. Immoral. You're probably rooting for cheating to occur for the left.

The Koch brothers spent $889M influencing the 2016 election in favor of down ballot republicans. They refused to help Trump because they think he is a dingus, but certainly used their influence to get what they wanted from Trump’s tax cuts that drastically favored the rich over the average American. They also do a lot of Astro-turfing on behalf of Conservative talking points.  They helped create the Astro-turfed Reopen movement.

Corporate interests influencing the election does not mean the election was fraudulent. Your oligarchy has many legal avenues for them to influence who gets elected and what happens once the election is done. Don’t let your caveman brain get overwhelmed by this new information. In the USA billionaires gonna billionaire and they don’t really care which party it is as long as it gets them more billions.

Well they are.  You think there is any part of the election process the GOP doesn't have a hand in?  You don't think their 'corporate overlords' don't spend huge amounts of money?

It seems like you are fixated on this new 'corporate cabal' label you discovered.  It's just a word.  You can call either side a 'corporate cabal' or not.  It's just name calling.

In my opinion the GOP does far worse than what's described in the article with their voter suppression tactics.

Yes, we have to clarify with 'no widespread fraud' now because Republicans were pointing to literally 1 or 2 cases and saying "See, look, fraud! You said no fraud!"

Yes it was. Trump cheated! In Pennsylvania the three votes fraudulent they found were all targeted at helping Trump. Three.

The simple, verifiable fact is that nobody can find more than a handful of fraudulent votes. Nowhere near the MILLIONS needed to put Trump first in the popular vote like he claims.

If you need millions and can only find... well a few that are fraud in TRUMPS favor... your argument is very very poor, lacking in facts and logic.

You fail to make your case, just as Trump failed to make his case to the public. You have both lost.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/trump-is-winning-election-lawsuits-in-case-you-havent-heard

This is just hilarious.

I looked at the source for this data, and a lot of these so-called wins occurred BEFORE the election.  Most of them dealt with trivial matters that had NOTHING to do with voter fraud. None of these have ANYTHING to do with the MASSIVE WIDESPREAD FRAUD OF MILLIONS OF VOTES that Trump has been crying about, and does not exist.

Lets look at these wins of Trump that are listed.

1. The GOP sued Iowa in August BEFORE THE ELECTION because ballots had some information pre-filled, like the applicants name. The GOP wins the case, Iowa re-sends blank ballots. NOTHING TO DO WITH FRAUD, doesn't change anything.

2. Minnesota has to keep track of late ballots and set them aside after counting. NO EFFECT on the outcome, the votes were still counted. They just are in separate boxes now in storage.

3. The GOP asks for extending poll hours. Granted. NOTHING TO DO WITH FRAUD. It probably got Trump some more votes, but he STILL LOST.

4. The GOP demands PA not let people supply ID after voting ends.  GOP wins, and some votes are thrown out. No fraud here, both Democratic and Republican votes were thrown out, and Biden still won PA by a significant margin. Trump STILL LOST.

Then the rest, what a bunch of nothing.  The GOP sues to get access to voter data before the election.  Wow, big win there that doesn't change anything at all.

This entire article is garbage and cherry picking of the worst kind.

There is nothing, nothing at all in here that indicates Trump has even the slightest chance of overturning the election. 

It's all hand waving and misdirection.  Show one lawsuit that found massive fraud?  There isn't.  Find one lawsuit in progress that could overturn the entire election... none.

It's over.  Trump lost.  Get over it.

If you keep your hopes up like this, they are just going to keep getting crushed every day that nothing happens and Biden continues to sit in the White House.

The cases weren't about "trivial matters." Among the few things you got right in that is that these aren't fraud cases. Few of them are. Therefore the constant claims that "Trump lost 60 cases" as the proof against voter fraud is bunk and tells us nothing about the veracity of fraud which has occurred. They weren't about fraud. Fraud tends to be much more complex, and can take years to properly litigate.

The fact that some cases were started before the election is also irrelevant considering that Dems were attempting to fiddle with the mechanics of the election and change voting laws.

All in all, Trump won many of the cases which were adjucated. You wanted to look at all of the cases, so here they are. The bulk majority aren't about fraud, and your insistence that they need to be about fraud makes you guys look foolish in light of your previous claims on the subject and useage of the cases in response to allegations of fraud.

Your argument seems to be there is fraud, but the fact that Trump lost every case about fraud and that most other cases have nothing to do with fraud means... that in a few years we will suddenly see him start to file cases and will win them and THEN he will be President!

That's weak, even for the whole 'Trump won' nonsense conspiracy theory.

There was no fraud. If there was all this 'proof' would have been released by now. It hasn't. We have nothing, no evidence of anything. It's all lies Trump has been telling, none of it has turned out to be true.

So lets get this straight, you are not talking about fraud anymore after months of talking about fraud, you are now talking about 'improper conduction of the election' instead which has nothing at all to do with fraud?  Sure.  Nice attempt to pivot there.

Weak.

Also, is adjudicated your new word for today?  You do understand that it just means the case was decided by a judge, right?  It's not anything special, and it sounds silly to keep using it like that.

None of the cases that were 'adjudicated' had any effect on the election.  Biden still won, he's still sitting in the White House.  Are any of these lawsuits going to change that?  No.  Any pending ones going to change it? No.

He lost, and combing through lawsuits that won't change anything looking for any minor 'win' is just desperate.

No lawsuit that MATTERS has been won by Trump.  All these other unrelated cases are pointless when it comes to putting his fat ass in the White House again.

Nope. I was talking about the particular cases that are being referenced, that Trump brought after the election. You are just mistaken that the focus was on fraud in those cases.

There is plenty of evidence for fraud.

Any pending ones going to change it? No.

The case from the court ordered Antrim County machine forensic audit that found evidence that the machines were built for fraud is still in motion and a trial date is set. Further investigation just needs to verify that forensic audit on other machines and you are up the creek. This could easily blow up.

Quote from: Tom Bishop
The court ordered and vetted the antrim machine audit, the only machine audit to occur, and found damning results.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20423772/antrim-county-forensics-report.pdf

"We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified."

The audit also found that the logs were missing:

"Likewise, all server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4, 2020 are
missing. This means that all security logs for the day after the election, on
election day, and prior to election day are gone. Security logs are very important
to an audit trail, forensics, and for detecting advanced persistent threats and
outside attacks, especially on systems with outdated system files. These logs
would contain domain controls, authentication failures, error codes, times users
logged on and off, network connections to file servers between file accesses,
internet connections, times, and data transfers. Other server logs before
November 4, 2020 are present; therefore, there is no reasonable explanation for
the security logs to be missing."

The auditors also said that there was evidence showing that the counts were flipped -

Incorrect. The recount that occurred in Antrim didn't show no discrepancies from the original voting machine reported results on election day. It showed major discrepancies. The county originally declared from the voting machines that Biden won in Antrim county on election night, but that was later revised to declare that Trump won, and a recount showed the original election claim, which came from the voting machines on election night, to be false.

Recount Confirms Trump Won Michigan County That Reported Biden Win on Election Night

https://m.theepochtimes.com/recount-confirms-trump-won-michigan-county-that-reported-biden-win-on-election-night_3624020.html

"A hand recount on Wednesday confirmed that a Michigan county falsely reported on election night a win for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The recount in Antrim County found 9,759 votes for President Donald Trump, versus 5,959 for Biden.

On Nov. 3, county officials said Biden received over 3,000 more votes than Trump. Two days later, they said Trump won by about 2,500 votes. A third change took place on Nov. 21, with Trump being certified the winner by nearly 4,000 votes.

Officials blamed the skewed results on human error.

Antrim County uses Dominion Voting Systems machines and software."


Another source which reported that there were significant discrepancies from the original reported Antrim county election night results:

https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-gary-peters-michigan-elections-dc3e16d42a27286fabc5b3e92386d7af

"BELLAIRE, Mich. (AP) — President Donald Trump didn’t win Michigan, but he can put a small county in the victory column after an unusual second look at the results.

Trump defeated Joe Biden in Antrim County, getting 56% of the vote, according to revised totals posted Thursday. Republican John James was the favorite in the Senate race.

“It certainly makes a lot more sense with people who are familiar with Antrim County,” said Jeremy Scott, deputy county administrator.

Questions were raised after the county first reported a local landslide for Biden, a Democrat, in an area that usually votes Republican. Officials acknowledged the results seemed “skewed” and promised a second look. More than 16,000 votes were cast."

The certified election result was correct, that’s what I am saying. They could find Hugo Chavez himself inside a machine producing photocopied ballots and it wouldn’t matter. Biden won Antrim County.

So lets get this straight, you are not talking about fraud anymore after months of talking about fraud

Nope. I was talking about the particular cases that are being referenced, that Trump brought after the election. You are just mistaken that the focus was on fraud in those cases.

There is plenty of evidence for fraud.

So none of the cases the GOP won were about fraud, got it. No fraud there, glad we can agree.

But you claim there is plenty of evidence, it's just not being used in court.  Sure.  And what about the OTHER cases that you were avoiding about talking about that WERE about fraud. He lost all of those. Oops.

So where is your evidence?  Press conferences full of lies isn't evidence.  If it existed, it would have been presented in court.  You can post all the YouTube videos you want. They are still all lies.

What exactly is the point you are trying to make with all of this?  Do you still think Biden is going to be removed and Trump put in?  When?

Wrong. The cases were cited in the context of Trump standing before the press, screaming about fraud and then showing up in court with little or no evidence of it. Trump clearly didn’t have the mountain of evidence he claimed. It was obvious. Much of the evidence of fraud that was submitted was laughed out of court. All the recounts affirmed the results certified by the States. This is why we’ve said there is no evidence of fraud. Now media outlets you relied on in the past are recanting their previous statements of fraud to avoid consequences for defamation suits. You’re now left with doing this bizarre logical tap dance where suits that had no effect on the election are super important. You’re tap dancing entertains us. Keep dancing.

Wrong. Some cases were about Fraud. Specifically Fraud and Vote Dilution, according to the ABA (I'd say the ABA is more authoritative than some rando on the web such as yourself...):

Fraud and Vote Dilution

Ward v. Jackson, No. CV2020-015285 (Maricopa Cty. Sup. Ct.)
The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that there were issues with verifying voters’ signatures on mail-in ballots, illegal votes, and that the ballot-tabulation machines had duplicated some votes in favor of Biden.

Constantino v. City of Detroit, Nos. 20-014780-AW (Wayne Cty. Cir. Ct.), 355443 (Mich. Ct. App.)
Individual voters and poll challengers sued the City of Detroit, the Detroit Election Commission, and other state elections officials, alleging voter fraud throughout Wayne County as a result of violations of Michigan law.

Stoddard v. City Election Commission of Detroit, No. 20-014604-CZ (3rd Judicial Cir. Ct. Mich.)
The plaintiffs claimed that an injunction was necessary because party inspectors were not present at each table inside the absentee vote counting board location.

Law v. Whitmer, No. 20 OC 00163 1B (Carson City Dist. Ct.)
The Republican contestants alleged various election administration irregularities and voter fraud, from problems with the provisional ballot-casting process to mismatched signatures being accepted by the ballot machines.

Kraus v. Cegavske, No. 82018 (Nev. S. Ct.)
The plaintiffs sought an injunction against the Registrar of Voters for Clark County to prevent the registrar from using artificial intelligence to authenticate ballots, which the plaintiffs claimed deprived them of the right to observe the ballot-counting process.

Election Integrity Project of Nevada v. Nevada, Nos. A-20-820510-C (Clark Cty. Dist. Ct.), 81847 (Nev. S. Ct.)
The plaintiffs asked the Clark County District Court to enjoin the Secretary from certifying Nevada’s election results due to alleged widespread voter fraud enabled by purported unconstitutionally enacted mail-in ballot legislation.

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvar, No. 20-3371 (U.S. 3d Cir. App.)
Specifically, plaintiffs took issue with the state’s mail-in ballot procedures, and claimed that the regulations for observing and monitoring the counting of ballots in Pennsylvania had been invalidly enacted, presenting opportunities for widespread voter fraud, and thus denied voters due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

In re Hotze, No. 20-0671 (Tex. S. Ct.)
The plaintiffs alleged that these practices violated the Texas Constitution and the Texas Election Code, would lead to voter fraud, and that the governor’s order suspending parts of the Election Code was constitutionally invalid because it violated the separation of powers.

Trump v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, No. 2:20-cv-01785 (E.D. Wis.)
Specifically, the plaintiff alleged that the state elections officials had violated his rights under the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution by issuing guidance on state election law during the coronavirus pandemic that illegally deviated from state statutes.

Tom, were there cases about fraud?  YES.

Did Trump lose them?  YES.

Did trump files 60+ lawsuits and lose nearly all of them?  YES.

What does all this tell you?

It tells me the election wasn't rigged/stolen/fraudulent/cheated or whatever you want to call it today. Playing word games is all you seem to have left to defend your claims now. It's not very effective.

All the screaming yelling on TV in front of the Four Seasons, all the talk about kraken lawsuits, all the endless tweets about WE WILL WIN... it's all lies and bullshit.  He didn't win.  He lost.

The only one mindlessly repeating things here is you, with the constant claims that evidence is right around the corner... any day now.  Rudy just has to find where he left it.  Q's secret messages says so.  Maybe Trump is playing 76 dimensional chess.

Again... HOW many times have you been wrong about everything?  Always evidence is about to be revealed, it never is.  Always Trump is going to pull a win in the last second, he never did.  Courts are going to save him!  Pence will save him!  The Storm will happen and he will arrest everyone!  Wrong, wrong, wrong.  Nothing happened.

It's always SOMETHING with you, and it never turns out to be true.  Now it's going to be years before any lawsuits with real evidence happen?  It would be hilarious if not so sad.

What's going to save him now? Mysterious lawsuits set years in the future? Sure.

You are the only one trying to re-focus this entire discussion over which cases explicitly mention 'fraud' as if that means anything at all.  Lets take a step back.

The simple fact is Trump failed to prove fraud in court, either by losing cases or by not bringing them in the first place.  Doesn't matter which, the end result is the same.

Trump couldn't provide any evidence backing up his fraud claims.  Big fail.

No way to spin this.  Trump swore up and down there was fraud, but can't prove it in court.  He can say anything he wants on Twitter (oops) and on TV but only Judges can decide if he has any proof and so far, none have agreed.

That’s not technically complex, that should be easy to prove.
He also claimed that loads of people from out of state voted.
That’s not technically complex, that should be easy to prove.
I’ve heard claims that more people voted than were registered.
That’s not technically complex, that should be easy to prove.

Fact is, you can claim all these things on Twitter, on right wing blogs and YouTube but none of that is relevant. Evidence has to stand up in court. It didn’t. That’s why Biden is sitting in the White House right now.

That makes zero sense.

You are claiming there was tons of fraud but... Trump is not going to actually bring any of THAT evidence to court because it would take too long.  So instead he's going to bring a bunch of unrelated cases that won't actually affect anything, lose most of them and call it a win?

No... if you want to claim there was massive fraud on the scale of millions of votes and Biden's win was not legitimate, you have to show us the proof. Otherwise it's just baseless claims not backed up by any facts or evidence.

https://ussanews.com/News1/2021/02/17/russia-blasts-biden-regime-for-persecution-of-trump-supporters-political-dissidents:

    The Russian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement lambasting the United States government under Joe Biden for the “ongoing persecution campaign” taking place “against anybody at all who does not agree with the results of the latest presidential election.”

    In the statement, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova delivered a scathing assessment of the human rights situation in the United States under President Joe Biden. Zakharova described the ongoing crackdown against Trump loyalists in the United States. She also questioned the “objectivity of the law enforcement agencies” involved in this campaign, noting that they were acting under orders and “in line with the narrative of the current administration who declared the events of January 6, 2021 a riot and everybody who was near the US Congress on that day all but plunderers.”

It's kind of creepy that you're putting stock in a spokesperson from the Russian Foreign Ministry.  What's next, you're going to be posting anti-American propaganda from DPRK?

Yes, how terrible the American government is arresting citizens who simply exercised their right to violently overthrow the government and murder police officers.  How dare they get called rioters.

It's amazing how easily 'Trump loyalists' fall for Russian propaganda.  But listening to a liar for 4 years and eating up everything he says will do that I suppose.

Trump lost, Biden won.  Get over it.

The audit in Maricopa county showed the machines functioned properly, using certified software and hardware, and were not connected to the internet. Random samples also showed that the Maricopa county results were accurate.

A hand count and perhaps a more arms-length audit may be pending.

Yeah, we should just believe the people who would have conducted the fraud that there is no fraud.  ::)

From that link - "The supervisors hired the two outside firms, Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, to offer an independent look at the county's voting machines and election results."

The people conducting the fraud picked the companies.

"The Board of Supervisors, whom many believe are covering up election corruption due to their actions since the 2020 election, decided to pass on expert Jovan Pulitzer, who has a thorough and independent method to review the ballots and results.  Instead the Maricopa Board, after suing the Arizona Senate for ordering an audit be performed, eventually agreed to an audit but only if they could choose the auditors.  The county officials then limited their choices to Pro V&V and SLI Compliance."

The Maricopa Board of Supervisors were disobeying a subpoena to turn over elections material to the Arizona Senate for an audit

He's an elected official in the State of Arizona and the majority whip. His responsibility is to act as a voice for his constituents and to mobilize votes in the State Senate on major issues. The people voted for him to be there. He represents their views. The position of an elected official representative doesn't require any particular background or expertise, and such expertise might be detrimental and unrepresentative of his constituents, as the people he represents may not have that expertise and he would be acting on his own independent accord. His role is merely to express the general views of the constituents in their place who voted for him and take actions in favor of those views.

He was elected to be the decision maker for a legislative body. As a representative of his constituents he is the arbiter of determining appropriate experts. If Republicans are unhappy about voter fraud it is because their constituents are unhappy about voter fraud. Obviously an audit orchestrated by the people who would have conducted the fraud and would go to jail for it if caught isn't going to fly.

Innocent people don't refuse to obey subpoenas by the Senate and risk arrest. If Democrats think that a Senate audit would involve shenanigans there are legal remedies for exposing that. Planting evidence of a crime is highly illegal. The right thing to do is to let the Senate run its audit and confirm that the people running the election and the machines performed an accurate count.

It’s not the Senate’s right or duty to audit elections, for obvious reasons. It would be a terrible conflict of interest for an elected official to audit their own election. But you don’t care. Anything to get Trump back in by March 4th.

Be honest with yourself, nothing is going to fly with you. Unless maybe Trump himself came out and admitted he lost fair and square which is never going to happen. You're so entrenched in your position that all the evidence showing you to be wrong just washes over. You've spent months hopping from one false hope to the next.

Really? Bringing up this tripe again? You lost on the last several times we talked about it and your persistence in this only tells me that you are a worthless person to discuss anything with, and are going to be dishonest to suit yourself regardless.

The results from the voting machines for that county were in error on election night. The machines said that Biden won, when really Trump won.

YOU KNOW THIS.

That county officials later corrected the numbers before they were certified. This doesn't mean that the machines operated properly without error. There was an error with the original results.

A later audit agreeing with the corrected number and the certified number does not mean that the machines operated properly without error, either. The later audit confirms that the machines were in error.

You are claiming that because the error was corrected before certification that we shouldn't bother scrutinizing the machines, perform audits, or that it somehow invalidates the Antrim forensic audit which found issues with the machines. On the contrary, the issue of the error with the machines a very good reason to audit the machines.

We have talked about this before:

Incorrect. The recount that occurred in Antrim didn't show no discrepancies from the original voting machine reported results on election day. It showed major discrepancies. The county originally declared from the voting machines that Biden won in Antrim county on election night, but that was later revised to declare that Trump won, and a recount showed the original election claim, which came from the voting machines on election night, to be false.

Recount Confirms Trump Won Michigan County That Reported Biden Win on Election Night

https://m.theepochtimes.com/recount-confirms-trump-won-michigan-county-that-reported-biden-win-on-election-night_3624020.html

"A hand recount on Wednesday confirmed that a Michigan county falsely reported on election night a win for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The recount in Antrim County found 9,759 votes for President Donald Trump, versus 5,959 for Biden.

On Nov. 3, county officials said Biden received over 3,000 more votes than Trump. Two days later, they said Trump won by about 2,500 votes. A third change took place on Nov. 21, with Trump being certified the winner by nearly 4,000 votes.

Officials blamed the skewed results on human error.

Antrim County uses Dominion Voting Systems machines and software."


Another source which reported that there were significant discrepancies from the original reported Antrim county election night results:

https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-gary-peters-michigan-elections-dc3e16d42a27286fabc5b3e92386d7af

"BELLAIRE, Mich. (AP) — President Donald Trump didn’t win Michigan, but he can put a small county in the victory column after an unusual second look at the results.

Trump defeated Joe Biden in Antrim County, getting 56% of the vote, according to revised totals posted Thursday. Republican John James was the favorite in the Senate race.

“It certainly makes a lot more sense with people who are familiar with Antrim County,” said Jeremy Scott, deputy county administrator.

Questions were raised after the county first reported a local landslide for Biden, a Democrat, in an area that usually votes Republican. Officials acknowledged the results seemed “skewed” and promised a second look. More than 16,000 votes were cast."

You are claiming that because the error was corrected that we shouldn't bother auditing the machines. On the contrary, the error with the machines is the entire reason to audit the machines.

lol, you declaring a loss doesn't make it so.  I guess you are a lot like Trump though.  Hope it doesn't extend to teenage pageant queens.  The reason the machines were audited wasn't because of the presidential election.  It doesn't matter how much you lie about this, the truth won't go away.  Ultimately what is incredibly relevant is that the process in place to certify election results worked.  Nothing is perfect, mistakes happen and that is why they had an effective process in place.  Somehow to you an accountable, effective system is evidence of the opposite though.  That's your cognitive dissonance to own.  Also, the error was a human error, not the machines, your quote spam below says as much.

snip of needlessly long spam of links

I have never disputed there was a discrepancy on election night in Antrim county.  I have consistently said that the audit matched the certified results.  Its wonderful that you quoted sources acknowledging that Trump lost though.  Progress of a sort.

By your own standard, you are conceding defeat by not addressing the other points I raised in my last post.

Quote
Newman noted that during depositions Alex Jones once said he had trouble remembering the names of his children’s teachers because he had eaten a large bowl of chili. Insisting the meal was relevant, Newman had Alex Jones read from a transcript of the deposition, in which he had said the teachers’ names would “pop in my head, I ate too much chili.” Jones then read a question from the transcript from an attorney asking if chili clouds his memory, followed by his response: “Big old bowl of chili. Sure does, yeah.”

Sydney Powell’s defense in her defamation lawsuit against Dominion is that no reasonable person would take her claims as statements of fact.

https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/sidney-powell-tells-judge-no-reasonable-person-would-believe-her-dominion-conspiracy-theories-were-statements-of-fact/

This was also the defense that Tucker Carlson used to defend his slanders against innocent people. The courts have said no reasonable person would believe this hyperbolic bullshit. Only an idiot would believe that this crap is real.

Well, we only have to go back a few pages to find people who believe this stupid shit. Not only do people believe it, it has become the foundation of the new conservative movement. Conservatives who believe stupid shit are now willing to carry out violence against our country to make their stupid shit real. I swear to God, if I had been a Capitol Police officer during the riots, I would have walked the halls and put a bullet between the eyes of every traitor I encountered. Ever play, The Last of Us? I would not have stopped until every clip I had was empty.

I'm a conservative but the conservative movement has been hijack by Putin zombies whose ignorance has made them susceptible to Russian propaganda. I will fight them in their support of Putin's agenda to rebuild a new Soviet Union. I don't care if I have to vote for liberals, Libertarians or lizards.

Tom Bishop can have the conservative movement. He can be the next Republican nominee for President. As long as the Republicans gets their platform from the National Enquirer, fuck them.

There are pretty material differences between Sydney Powell's claims and Tucker Carlson.  Carlson appears on an opinion news show.  Sydney Powell is attempting litigation where the entire point is to determine the truth of her claims.  People like Tom should feel pretty betrayed that she clearly has been duping the public for her own purposes, foremost among those purposes, the donate button on her website.

Of course fraud occurs in every election. No election will ever be 100% perfect. But take PA for example. After an exhaustive search they found three fake votes (all for Trump) out of almost 7 million, which means that the election overall was not fraudulent.

Trump has lost almost 100 lawsuits so far, and in none of them did he show any evidence for wide scale fraud.

So calling the election illegitimate simply is not factually true. There just isn't any evidence to support that claim. Where are these ten million fake votes? Nowhere, they don't exist.

Trump lost, and people need to get over it. He's no God Emperor after all, just a mere mortal who lost an election. Move on.

Lackey’s complaining about State executives creating regulations he thinks are outside the scope of existing election legislation which happened in many States, a bunch of them Republican. Most of them had to do accommodating increased mail-in voting due to the Pandemic.

It was consistently pointed out in courts that if these regulations were truly a problem, they should have been tested before the election, not after the GOP saw the results and not just in blue states.

It being what?  It's really obvious you aren't a lawyer and neither am I.  From what I have read, the issue of whether or not some State legislatures had their plenary authority violated isn't clear since they often delegate, by statute, the authority to run elections to the executive.  If the executive does something that is then distasteful to a portion of the legislature, then that should be addressed, but that should happen in such a way that won't disenfranchise millions of people, but rather before the election.  In almost every case, legislatures had ample time to act upon regulations, but they did not until it became clear that their party had lost the election.  It's no surprise that the only protest against executive action were in swing states; in some cases the protest was over a law that that very legislature had passed following mid-terms.  You even had Texas complaining about regulations in other States that they had employed at home. 

Seems more like a whole bunch of butt-hurt from the GOP.  But then, partisan butt-hurt over losing elections is par for the course in the US.  Culturally, the country just oozes being a sore loser.

Which laws were broken? Can you point to a single judge or jury who declared anything done in PA was against the law? 

Please be specific in exactly who broke the law, and where it was ruled to be illegal.

You are implying widespread fraud by claiming Trump won the popular vote and the electoral vote which could only happen if millions of votes were switched across the entire country, which is the definition of widespread fraud.

They weren’t laws, they were regulations that extended voting due to the extenuating circumstances. It’s not a fraud claim, it’s that the administration of the election was unconstitutional because it violated the plenary authority of the State legislatures.

That makes their claims even weirder. I feel that they're basically arguing that democracy is unfair because if everyone voted then they wouldn't win an election.  So they should be allowed to give their opponents a handicap to even the odds.

Yep.
The issue, quite simply, is one of density.
The small towns with only a few thousand people are primarily conservative.  And they hate being overshadowed by the (typically) liberal cities.

Basically: "Why is it that 50 counties all vote red but we're blue because 2 vote blue?"

This was one of the claims of “fraud” after the election. “But how can Biden have won when Trump won most of the counties?”. To which the very simple answer is...because those counties are where most of the people live.

The suspected criminals orchestrated the audit. If a company accused of fraud presents an audit that they orchastrated themselves, which claims that they are absolved, it is usually considered to be of little value.

In this case we have a State Senate suspicious of an election organization, wanting to audit them with people driven to expose it and you are here in high alert trying to discredit it based solely on your intuition that nothing wrong was done. Sounds like a pretty desperate and pathetic stance to take.

There haven’t been any criminal charges. There hasn’t even been evidence of fraud which would necessitate fraud charges. Indeed the senate itself said the audit was to determine if there was fraud. You are calling my stance pathetic yet you are presupposing conclusions and preferring your team’s bias over another or a non-biased firm. I mean, this is right in your playbook but it still makes me smile at the absurdity.

And so what if a detective thinks that their suspect is guilty? The detective's bias means nothing. It's not up to the detective to convict the suspected criminal. The detective's evidence, however, contributes towards aiding in the investigation and sending the person to jail.

You know very well that if the Senate's firm finds bad things against Dominion or the elections officials that it opens the way for a trial, discovery, investigations, and further subpoenas. You also know that in this county there has been refusals to obey previous subpoenas, shredded ballots, and allegations leading up to this and that it isn't out of the blue.

What happened to your previous statements that you welcomed audits? Obviously another fib from you.

Bias can always mean something. You saying this is particularly rich considering how often you have decried politicians or scientists (Hampden) for being untrustworthy for their bias. Your hypocrisy is a shining beacon.

Yes I do know that if an audit finds something then it can lead to other things. Apparently you didn’t, since you were presupposing the bad things.

When did I say I didn’t want an audit? You are doing that thing where you call someone a liar when it’s you that’s fabricating reality. It’s troubling. Seek help?

Trump's still talking. Isn't it nice being able to just ignore him?

I’m sure Tom will be along any minute now to tell us all why this is excellent news for Trump.

Less ignore more "It takes effort to find him talking" instead of just opening npr.org.

You seem to think that I would turn a blind eye to any cheating on my side like you do. You're wrong. I do think that R's were involved in cheating.

Seems like she is worried about what she said she is worried about: retarded Republicans pushing moronic conspiracies and lackeys like you drinking the koolaid.

Rachel Maddow is a little worried about the AZ audit.

So she should be. The owner of the firm hired to conduct the audit is not impartial, and has already promoted baseless claims of election fraud.

OK, firstly, I don't have "a side". I didn't want Trump to continue being President but I have no affiliation with either party in the States.
Secondly, I'm not turning a blind eye to anything. You have spent the last 6 months alleging voter fraud and none of the evidence you have presented has stood up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

He also hasn't presented any evidence of fraud in favor of Trump. (Ie. Trump supporters doing fraud)
