    The Trump campaign have set up a voter fraud hotline in a last ditch attempt to try and find some sort of evidence. :rolleyes:

    Did that big update from Pennsylvania come in the end? Someone said earlier there was something due around half past.

    It'll be here in 10 minutes.

    The stand out for me has to be the Presidents 'speech' from the White House last night.

    Never before has one man managed to make the most powerful office in the world look so weak.

    Very much so. The office of president appeared weaker than I've ever seen it and and so did the man himself. For a grown man to rationalise looming defeat as "I was winning until they counted the opponent's votes" can only be described as pathetic.

    The craziest thing about that is the possibility (limited i know) that at the end of it all, the Electors are real people who could change their vote!


    Why does there need to be actual people doing it - why not just change it from Electoral College votes to 'Election points' and 270 points wins the election.

    Or just scrap it altogether and let the national, democratic vote decide the outcome?

    Unlike Trumps declarations of some fantastic new plan for "something" being released in two weeks, the count of the votes will actually happen though.

    That's got nothing to do with the office. It's an idiot at the end of his time.

    Some people in Doonbeg in Clare is rooting for a Trump win. WTF?

    Trump is a good businessman, I'll give him that much but that's all he is. He was pig ignorant as a president and a leader of a country. Like his biggest problem this year was Tiktok - in the middle of a global pandemic where many of his people got sick and unwell and died and suffering from long covid.

    Hopefully he will lose the presidency and it's looking likely he will but that's not going to effect his position as a businessman much and his business in Doonbeg.


    I'm not sure many would agree with that.

    Thousands of pages of posts here of people all excited that Donald Trump is been thrown out in a country over 4 thousand miles away. Yet we had buffoons like cowen and ahern here and hardly a squeak about domestic politics. :confused:. Probably less likes on the twitter, baords and facebooks posts for Irish politics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,675 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I am trying to understand Trump's logic on the voter fraud.
    Because he does not seem to be worried about voter fraud in the Senate because the Republicans will control it.

    Does it come down to Trump not wanting to be seen as a loser?
    Also this strategy keeps him relevant in the public mind if he wants to run again?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yeah it's pretty weird to see so much debate about Pres Trump on a Pres Trump thread

    He retweeted a conspiracy theory that the fraud is ONLY against Donnie. That all the other down ballot choices were for Republicans but the "fraudsters" voted for Biden at the top of the list. Crazy nonsense. The reality is that Donnie is actually getting about the same percentage of the vote as the various Senate and House republicans across the country.

    Abby Phillip looks immaculate even after hours under those light in the studio.

    Abby looks great alright.

    I am trying to figure Rick Santorum (keep thinking of him as Rick Scrotum) as he tried to remain Republican saying that they of course should investigate issues but yet not be foaming at the mouth like Donnie.
    Biden nearly 4 million votes ahead now. This is proving to be more decisive than it originally looked.

    People seem to forget the counting goes on in all states even though they have been declared.

    Biden is racking up votes in California, New York, etc.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    You see, you would need to go to one of the Irish election threads for that. Of which there are plenty when there's an election.

    There was a lot of talk about domestic politics here around Bertie and Cowen. The Leo story has also been fairly prominent here all week and is up to 3.5k posts already.

    I put on CNN for a while last night. They are so biased it's unreal.
    It was the news source for me about 15 years ago, sad what's happened to them.

    And so Donald left the White House forever.... because it was haunted. Now, let's celebrate with a cool glass of Ultimate Bone Broth.

    Theres plenty about domestic politics, the American election is big news here because we have to listen to what they're doing every day anyway and what they do over there can and will have some affect on us at times too.

    Yes. I didn't see anything about that at all. And no one ever mentioned the Water Charges. I just wish someone would start a thread about dole spongers or Travellers for a change.

    He wasn't even a good businessman, that is a myth. Loads of his businesses including casinos went bust. He was a playboy billionaire with daddy's money and got into showbusiness.

    Sure, but I can understand why individual states would feel weakened by that.


    Another suggestion, often made, is to reform the system to distribute the Electoral college votes (or Election points) based on the ratio of voting in each state, rather than the 'winner takes all' system.



    But even with the system the way it is right now, the idea that somebody, at the end of it all, can change their vote from how they pledged, is crazy.

    No, it needs to be federalized and made a standard procedure across the country so as to remove doubt. Part of the reason Trump's supporters are swallowing his absolute tripe is the fact that all 50 states seem to have different, overly complex rules, many of which are devoid of logic.

    Pretty much what DeanAustin said In reply to this I agree.

    I'd add with the federal level, there should be X amount of polling stations per x of population, also voting by mail should be standard if the polling station one can't be.

    Its not as dramatic or exciting, but it would be nice to see Irish people get half as engaged with our own domestic politics.
