    Yes. The Western world more akin to the Middle East and Africa now. Further division , violence and fraud. Sad to see

    Very much less violent than during the World Wars.

    A lot of sites that tend to try remove bias and rules in their forums tend to descend into porn postings and radical rightwing nonsense.

    I know this for a fact, we tried it here once and well... RIP Bangbus forum.

    Oh right, I didn't think the bias here was admitted to?

    Noticable how a lot of top rank republicans are keeping fairly stum.

    Of course after the Trump spawn came out and started demanding the GOP start backing daddy, a few GOPs like Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy are parroting the Trump rants.

    The rest like Mitch McConnell are trying to distance themselves or as someone on CNN said making sure they are on this sinking ship or associated with this trainwreck.

    And the fact that Trump is now attacking ordinary lower ranked Republicans including those in likes of Georgia that had actually backed him is going to copper fasten top rank Republicans resolve to disassociate themselves from the Trumps.

    The Trump family think Daddy is the GOP and that the voters will vote Trump before Republican.
    That may be true of some, but others they might find may not.

    Where will the incentive be for evangelicals to back a Trump in future when they already have control over Supreme Court which is what they have wanted most.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Twitter has confirmed that if Trump loses the election he'll also lose his "noteworthy individual" status which will impact his ability to spread lies on the platform.

    Folks as great as it is, best not to celebrate prematurely.

    According to CNN, GA sent out 8800 military ballots which have not yet been all received or started counting. If even half of those came back 66% trump (the minimum likely) then Joe could still be in trouble. And that’s before a recount or legal.

    Cautious optimism.

    Says the observers have been there the whole time (obviously), says he went to federal court yesterday where the judge just asked Trump's lawyers "are there observers in the room?" and the lawyers were forced to admit they were and got thrown out, and that there's currently a livestream online from the room that shows the room and the observers form both sides in there :pac::pac::pac:

    Some of the quotes from this case were gold. They clearly did not expect to actually win, it was just something for Trump to tweet about. It should be noted Judge Diamond was appointed by GW Bush.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/kadhim/status/1324485100629823494

    "Judge Paul Diamond to the Trump campaign lawyer:

    Diamond: Are your observers in the counting room?

    Trump campaign: "There's a non zero number of people in the room"

    Diamond: "I’m asking you as a member of the bar of this court: are people representing the Donald J Trump for president, representing the plaintiffs, in that room?"

    Trump campaign lawyer: "Yes."

    Diamond: "I'm sorry, then what's your problem?"

    Judge Diamond is... exasperated. He's getting the parties to agree poll watching rules for everyone here and now in the hearing. They're going to take a brief recess to do prepare to do that

    The Trump campaign lawyer (surname Marcus, didn't catch his first name), chimes in again: "There's one other dimension to this problem".

    Diamond, *loudly exhales: "Length and width? Time and space?"
    Another exchange from earlier.

    Diamond was pressing the Trump campaign lawyer to say how many observers he wanted in the counting room.

    "How many you want?"

    [pause] The same number as the Democrats

    Diamond: "Come on, come on. You've got to do better than that."

    The Trump campaign lawyer began arguing about the # of feet away from the counting tables that their observers had a right to be. Diamond interrupted:

    "You don't have the right to be within 100 feet. You have the right maybe to be treated equally as recognised by a state court"

    the absolute cheek of her asking people to pronounce her name properly.

    Gotta admit it was funny when someone on Fox, Carlson I think, got roasted for mispronouncing it and a few days later Joe Biden announced her as his running mate and did the same thing.

    That said, mispronouncing names is a pet hate of mine so I understand her annoyance. I work with a few people with unusual names and it's the height of laziness not to learn how to say it right.

    Surely that means an immediate ban for him? Like anyone else posting what he has would have been gone years ago

    "There's no evidence of voter fraud" say the people who spent 4 years accusing Russia of interfering in the last election without any proof.

    Without any proof?? All of America's intelligence has shown that Russia interfered in the election, including the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee which was chaired by... yes.. a Republican.

    In a country the size of the US you will get the odd lunatic.

    But fears of widespread violence by mobs of Trump supporters on the scale of BLM or Antifa are total fantasy.

    The media will do their best to amplify and exaggerate violence (stock photos of guys standing peacefully with guns, or people shouting "menacingly"). Always implying violence on the right.

    They will be a lot tamer than the "mostly peaceful" guys on the left.

    Again, 0 murders, deaths etc. caused by Antifa in the US. Ever.

    Scores, hundreds, attributable to far-right and white supremecist terrorist over the years. And currently, the FBI are stopping them before they're happening, but they are going to miss one in the coming weeks.

    Your choice to ignore this, and the past history of right wing terror in the US, and try to misinform is tiresome, wrong and dangerous.

    (Also have to laugh at "guys standing peacefully with guns")

    In fairness, there does seem to be a bias but as you say, it's a privately owned platform so they are free to do so.

    Looks like a good few states are swinging to Biden.

    Explain what you mean by that. If you are part of twitter then you can't objectively comment on bias

    Would be icing on the cake if he got banned on twitter like the day after inauguration.

    I guess it will depend on his future behaviour rather than his past behaviour. Either way, I doubt he'll be able to contain himself to not get banned so it'll probably just be a matter of time.

    If Twitter has the balls, he's probably responsible for a lot of their traffic.
