    Republicans weren’t one bit worried about the national debt for the past 4 years but that tube will change in 14 days time!

    As for the economy, 2019 figures (latest available figures I could find) GDP growth for CA (2.6%) and NY (2.4%) were ahead of the national average (2.1%)

    But with Covid both will be be hit hard due to large urban populations and being the two centers on the entertainment and tourism industries which has been decimated worldwide

    Nebraska naturaly isn’t going to be hit as hard but wasn’t flying it to start with.
    Growing corn isn’t really affected by a pandemic

    The below article sums up nicely why California will be a crack pot state in the not so distant future, running your highest paying tax base out of town with current and future planned tax legislation is economic suicide

    The full video was released today, the above video was edited from a hour long phone call, the finding votes mentioned by Trump pertained to votes cast for Biden by voters that had left the state of Georgia and relocated with evidence to back this up on the change of address database

    Again, statements like this show how trump gets his blindly unwavering support.

    I'm not sure where you've gotten your info from but it's patently and unquestionably wrong.

    The statement of "crooked and desperate" you responded to was putting it very mildly.

    Edit:

    To clarify; Trump lost Georgia by 11,779 votes.
    Trump wanted them to "find" (via numerous conspiracy theory accusations) 11,779 / 11,780 / 12,000 votes (depending on which of his ramblings
    you want to select).

    Your well under the spell of the mainstream media by the looks of it, I have no love for Trump the man is narcissist and has very questionable morals but what’s coming in after him is no better and probably worse, Kamila Harris is on record stating she believed the accusations of sexual assault against Biden https://nypost.com/2020/08/12/kamala-harris-believed-joe-bidens-accusers-until-she-didnt/
    She also went out on a limb for Jacob Blake https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/28/kamala-harris-jacob-blake-police-officer-404230, a sociopath who was rapping his estranged wife when her mother called police to intervene he was shot in the back after repeated calls for him to stand down and about to jump into his SUV with three of his kids armed with a razor blade, all 3 cops where clear of any wrong doing as of today, I could keep rambling on but the above is just a snapchat of what’s ahead of America....

    None of this relates to what I've said.

    Just like a GOP playbook: President is proven to be telling lies / morally corrupt / fiscally irresponsible / sh1tting on soldiers / sh1tting on reporters that don't blindly swallow his bullsh1t etc. and the response is......But but but look at what the other side did / look at what the other side will do / look at who the others talk to and are friends with. :rolleyes:

    Biden/Harris has the presidency that’s almost guaranteed bar Trump declares marshal law and gets his loyalists to implement it, I’m just highlighting that a sh**t show is about to start in America that’s going to have worldwide consequences, you have nearly half the population seeing Biden as illegitimate president weather rightly our wrongly and the other half who voted for him just to get the orange man out who has been nailed to the cross as having orchestrated all Americans current problems and then you have the extreme far left of Antifa and Blm who Harris/Biden strung along to get votes and used as political weapon with the riots and unrest who they now have cast aside and aren’t listening too, it’s a powder keg about to explode over their in the next few months

    Telling me to "read down a few paragraphs" tells us what exactly? You obviously haven't read/listened to it. You're cherry picking bits.

    Trump "deemed" illegal....utterly meaningless.

    That's not going to happen. If he did go down that road, it still doesn't help him.

    You're not highlighting anything. You're having a wild guess. The same statements were said in the run up to 2016, through 2017/2018 etc. about Trumps administration.
    In any case, it's all still irrelevant to the "find me 11,779/11,780, 12,000 votes" part.

    jaymla627 wrote: »

    Wrong again. To insinuate that every Trump voter or even close to 50% of the population believes that the entire vote was rigged/fraudulent is wildly off.

    and the other half who voted for him just to get the orange man out who has been nailed to the cross as having orchestrated all Americans current problems

    Wrong again. It is beyond strange logic..... So there are no regular/dyed in the wool democratic voters? Not one of them listened to both candidates and decided on Biden?? Just voted for anyone but Trump.....all 80 million of them......sure.

    Biden has openly condemned both Antifa and BLM violence. As far as "strung along" goes - how so? And if so, is it not a good thing they've cast them aside and are no longer listening to them?

    But same tactic - "Extreme far left" etc deflection I highlighted above.

    Trump's problem was that the black vote came out. This was made easier by postal ballots. Taking Georgia as an example when Kemp (the present state Governer) was Sec of State he took about 700k of the voting register. These were mainly black voters.it was practised right across the state. Along with that they reduced the polling stations in black neighbourhoods which had the impact that on election days( mainly in November) black voters had to que for hours to vote.

    This happened in the Spring for the Democratic primaries there was massive que's at Democratic polling stations and this transferred into a fear that with COVID that it would impact the election. With the dear if COVID more democratic voters opted for postal balloting and with the issues with black neighbourhoods polling stations activists encouraged black voters to register for postal ballots.

    Georgia in particular had serious issues with the primaries and Rafenbrager a Republican had to allow postal balloting similar to some Democratic run states. The Republican issue is that for the last while due to there control at state level they have been gerrymandering election constituency's to help them maintain control at State, Senate and gain control of Congress. There is a huge reward for them with electoral votes decided by national censuses to disenfranchise parts of the population that will vote Democratic to allow them to win Senate and presidency's with 47-48 %of the national vote. This was one of the few times the total poll was counted due to no concession from either side it shone a huge light on the issues..

    The problem is they are just allegations. There is absolutely no proof of wholesale vote fraud. You will always have issues with small scale voter issues where single votes act illegally. You have both Republican and Democrats voters doing it off there own batt. Trump decided that postal ballots equaled to voter fraud. Postal balloting was historically always there in the US but COVID encouraged a large amount of people to opt for this.

    The casting of the Democratic party as socialist is totally incorrect. The US is a two part system as it is a single constituency electrol system which forces a two party only system. The democratic encompasses people who we consider maybe similar in idealogy to FF to members who are to the right of FG.

    The Republican takes up from there to what are virtualneo Nazi. As there is virtually no state/federal support for the individual people have a mortal fear of taxation. It make system reform very hard. There is a huge section that it is said vote Republican holding there nose as it is on economic issues they are.only slightly in agreement with the GOP and have a mortal fear of what are called progressives in the Dems.

    It is interesting that one thing that was stopping repeal of Obamacare was one part that stopped health insurers from loading/withdrawal of insurance when you got sick.
