Re: Current Events Thread
So, this is gonna be the legal challenge, eh? Votes on election night should determine the winner, not anything afterward. Networks should just not declare any winners then. Only the media declares winners on election night.
States don't even start certifying results until Nov. 10. Some deadlines are in December. The electors don't even vote until Dec. 14. He's just shockingly ignorant of how elections work--or thinks we are.
Large portions of the public in most countries are ignorant of how their electoral systems work. They are then even more ignorant of how counting the votes work.
Total sidebar, not aimed at you bigbri:
As an outsider to this I find it the conversation about mail in voting being a major fraud risk totally bizarre. Most other countries have mail in voting and its fine - if the US mail in system is so screwed up that it can be scammed so easily, instead of demanding it not count why not demand it be fixed and propose how it be fixed.

This isn't a shot at bigbri or anyone else. These are active voter suppression techniques that are being especially ramped up this year and not only accepted as normal by members of this board, but by the US public as a whole. The real narrative Trump has been putting forth for 5 years is that if you vote for anyone but him, your vote shouldn't count.
From questioning your patriotism to accusing most Democrats of committing voter fraud, he has run the gamet of dividing this country to the hilt. And no one cares...and his supporters get more rabid. I was being screamed at for wearing a mask in a public bathroom yesterday by some reject who was screaming 'THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.'
It's unpatriotic to wear a mask, it's unpatriotic to vote (except for if you vote for Trump), Republicans vote by mail more than Dems historically and he's railing against it selectively.
This has been THE campaign strategy. From holding his super spreader rallies with his dumb fuck maskless supporters to running off every time a reporter asks him a hard question.
He has made it clear, there are only Americans that vote for him, and the rest of us are losers and should have our votes questioned unscrupulously.
I personally will never forgive the Trump movement for its disgusting stench.

That is what TDS looks like folks. Don't laugh, it's a real mental impairment. Look for more unintelligible rumblings about how the popular vote is what should matter and it's too hard to ensure a state Issued ID before accepting a vote. In America, your water bill is sufficient.

Wouldn't even be a case. Election night winners is a total TV fabrication, decades ago it took days/weeks to announce. Secondly, there's a precedent for Florida 2000 where it DID go on for weeks, up until the EC votes in Dec.
Only challenge he'd have is by handpicking states to dismiss votes due to questionable signatures, missing dates, not signed etc. The 'Hanging chads' of 2000 moved into a seperate pile. Even then tho the state would have to be within a small percentage and number of votes to challenge it (20,000?)
There were reports he was trying to call PA's mail in process illegal and have PA's state senate choose thier own EC (GOP) which is a very long legal string of a process that doubtfully could go thru. Bidens up massive in WI, like 54%-45, so really even if he tried stealing a state it isn't enough. Bidens up 1 or 2 in GA as well, let alone so many other places.

You mean the interview that made it clear he should never be called a journalist ever again? The one that put him in the tabloid category?
Lol, only you would defend one of the biggest con men in U.S. political history! the same interview where he called him a con man to his face, while every other network kissed his ass and wanted him to run for president! Too funny.

lol, yet he supports the guy who demanded explosively popular TikTok be given to his supporters, owners of Walmart & Oracle. So much for staying out of private enterprise. Idiot!

you guys really need to take a deep breath and relax. I know you don't give a fuck about foreign interference or data privacy. We all know it was just an excuse to channel your displeasure. But you should really look into what Chinese owned TikTok does with your data. You can't just take the opposite stance of Trump because you feel inclined to.

Re: Current Events Thread
Wait, do people in the US really take an interview on Fox News with Tucker Carlson as a credible source of objective news ?
Serious question
Did you watch the interview? Do you have any reason to question the accuracy of Bobulinski? The text and emails are verified. Carlson is certainly more popular than the radical left wing hosts who preached collusion for 2 years. Are you really that uninformed of what the US media has become the past 4 years?
Re: Current Events Thread
All of social media is a cesspool. They are doing way too much with our personal data and habits. This is from Facebook to Twitter, Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, all of them. If I didn't need Facebook for my 9-to-5, I'd probably not have it anymore, or at least make it family-only.
