    Trump is going to drag the arse out of the Georgia count.
    Under pressure from his fellow Republicans, who have called for his resignation for unspecified “mismanagement,” the secretary of state announced that the state would conduct a hand recount of the presidential race as part of a legally required audit of the results before the state’s Nov. 20 certification deadline. While the audit itself is routine, the fact that the recount will be by hand instead of by machine is highly unusual and will be a major logistical challenge for counties to complete in the next nine days. In addition, the Trump campaign can request another recount within two days of certification if the margin remains within 1 percentage point. Either recount is highly unlikely to reverse the outcome of the election, given that recounts typically change the results by only a few hundred votes.

    Yet another ill tempered interview on Sky News. What I don't get is is that the anchor is not playing devils advocate, he's clearly batting for his own side, whoever his own side is, prolly the side of the producers or the Sky inc stock holders.

    All rather embarrassing for him though, Spicer was well able for him and he did clear up a few things which does make sense to be fair.

    Paranoid much? What side? It is a foreign news station. Is the journalist a Democrat?

    Dominic Raab's statement today
    "China's decision to arbitrarily remove elected pro-democracy legislators from their positions represent a further assault on Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy and freedoms...
    This campaign to harass, stifle and disqualify democratic opposition tarnishes China's international reputation and underminnes Hong Kong's long term stability"

    If you substitute China, Hong Kong with USA, Republicans and Democrats in the appropriate locations, Raab could very well make a similar statement abut the current situation in the US.

    Tis a strange world we live now

    Sky appear to be somewhat sympathetic to Trump and have been for sometime. It’s not overt, quite subtle but some presenters don’t sit on the fence like Adam Boulton whom clearly isn’t a fan.

    We never got away from normal. Trump may have packaged himself as not beholden to corporate interests (and of course his followers swallowed the whole 'drain the swamp' rhetoric) but his cabinet was infused with corporate interests.


    And that's not even touching on using the office for his own personal/family gain.

    None of this will change anything. Trump knows that. Of course he does

    He is just playing a role that is expected....keeping his base nice and lively. I would guess that over the next 4 years he will run a ‘shadow government’.....making appearances to his voter base, undermining Biden at every turn, pressuring the GOP who clearly don’t know how to deal with him and his supporters. He is a dangerous man who will spread fake news and try to influence things as much as he can

    nah he's going to be fighting court cases the rest of his life and trying to pay off his enormous debts.

    This nonsense. Trump's first Secretary of State was Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobil at the time of his appointment. Secretary of the Treasury is career Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin. Secretary of Commerce businessman Wilbur Ross. Secretary of Education Betsy Devos, billionaire who made massive contributions to the RNC over the years and so on.

    Indeed so it doesn't matter who the hell is in the White House the big corporations win, the billionaires win, the military budget gets bigger, the people still go bankrupt from medical bills, and it's business as usual.

    Let's see who lines up in the next four years and uses the Trump playbook.

    In fairness, I think Spicers argument is very valid here and I do see his points.

    But I think Trump shouldn't throw the term fraud willy-nilly as he is doing. Basically just say I and my campaign don't think votes are adding up as we expect and would like a recount and/or fight issue X via courts which we think is unfair.

    Coming out with something like that, won't stoke all this nonsense with the press and also voters from both sides.

    Most tec companies work with the current administration in some form or forum, nothing new there.

    Apple and IBM along with a few other tec.firms were part of trump's American Workforce Policy Advisory Board. After his first couple of fu*k ups most companies had left it, but IBM held on in to the bitter end despite staff complaints to the then CEO supporting trump through the company and in their opinion making their company policies a joke by doing so.

    It’s weirdly orchestrated what’s happening...

    Look at Fox, google to your hearts content....there is not one case of them or one of their reporters criticizing or questioning Trump... they will report ON others criticizing him from time to time, with a negative spin on those doing the criticizing...

    They’ve openly mocked, insulted and have had reporters done things like... mock Biden's speech when he stuttered during a speech (Tony Katz), instructing journalists / anchors NOT to call or refer to Biden as ‘president elect’.. at any stage.

    They were accused of bias in the 2007 election race and multiple times of anti Democratic Party propaganda... easy to see why...

    If it was going on in Vietnam you might not be surprised but the USA..

    Trump is a fûcking headcase and the US is about as close to a basket case as there can be... fûcked up... interesting and very scary times...
