US Presidential Election 2020 Thread II - Judgement Day(s)

He's not leaving the WH for Thanksgiving.

And it seems that GOP chaired board of electors in Wayne county has said she is willing to certify results in all parts of the county bar Detroit. At some point subtlety has vanished if it existed at all.

I listened to a podcast about the 2000 election called fiasco and in one of the episodes the host sums it up well, when he said “the gop don’t care if they look like hypocrites, they just don’t like losing” which even though it was in relation to an event 20 years ago could easily be attached to the same party today.

It was announced they reversed the decision and voted 4-0 in favour of certifying the results.

That American Thinker blog is mental, full of poorly written conspiracy theories. Anyone using that as a serious source would want to have a serious look at themselves.

They're scurrying to find new sources of information since even most presenters on Fox now will no longer peddle the BS.

Probably going to see a significant amount of activity in the media over the coming months/years.

Will Parler attract significant numbers at Twitters loss?
What way will Fox develop? Likely will be influenced by Hannity and Carlson and what Trump might end up doing with respect to his own activities wrt the media.

One things for sure, the likes of Steve Bannon and Alex Jones are probably ecstatic at the division since the election and they and many others will look to harness this market.

The left are equally culpable of sowing division. The Dems need to take a long hard look at themselves after losing the Senate elections and, despite 4 years of crazy, seeing Trump poll nearly 10 million more than last time.

Trump won a smaller percentage of the turnout than he did in 2016.
He's less popular now than he was then. No surprise there of course, he's been abysmal.

The political left abandoned it's base long ago, there's also effectively been no left leaning political representation in American politics for a very long time, the dems aren't left leaning, particularly economically

Yes he won a lower percentage of the total turnout than he did last time therefore he is less popular than he was in 2016 with the total number of voters.

I know it's a bit of twitter dump, but:

Donald Trump, overnight and by Twitter, sacks Chris Krebs his director of Cybersecurity, for the serious offence of not backing his claims of fraud.

Everyone queues up to take pot shots at Trump, including Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker himself)

Which leads to Chris Krebs - now with zero fecks left to give about Trump, to go Ultra Star Wars on Twitter to tear Trump apart.

Hes actually such a whinging, pathetic, petulant little child that hes looking to start a war, any war, not for diplomatic, political or strategic reasons but just to leave Biden with an impossible mess of a problem.

As much as I’d hate to see another pointless war the laugh at all the he didn’t start a war posts would be hilarious

Trump had to be talked out of launching a military strike on Irans main nuclear facility the other day, who knows what he’ll do now out of spite, crazy stuff.

As much as I like to give out about Trump any reports I read about that didn't put it like that. He asked the military for options, they presented some, and he decided against military action. Sounds like a pretty regular course of events for any president. He's a big enough lunatic with what he honestly does without having to twist normal events against him.

He won 62,985,106 million votes in 2016.
He won 73,438,425 million votes in 2020.

That is over 10 million of a difference.

It doesn't matter what % of anything he has, he got 10 million extra people to vote for him.

Hence he is more fooking popular to 10 million people than he was last time.

And to me that is bat shyte fooking crazy. :eek:

And yes Biden won more votes than him and is more popular than him in the overall scheme of things.

But no matter what percentages you pull out, Trump is preferable to 10 million extra people than he was in 2016.

Again bat shyte crazy but there you have it.:rolleyes:

Its actually quite something when you consider virtually the entire media, print and TV, along with big tech spent 4 years discrediting him.

Exactly.
There are two ways of looking at this.
And it is sad the fact you have to explain that fact to some people around here.

If a companies customers went up by 10 million units one would see it as increasing popularity.
If a TV network viewers went up by 10 million one would view it as being more popular than before no matter what the fook the other networks were doing.

....and they were right, he's clearly useless at politics and also in business, in fact there's not much he's really good at, I suspect he's terrible at golf to, even with all his practice

I reckon he gets around in 30 under par.

Himself and Rocket man could have a great game.

Just look at the numbers.
73 million people voted for him in 2020 as opposed to 63 million in 2016.

The voter turnout is far greater this time than last time, but he got more votes this time.


If he was less popular than 2016 he would have got less then 63 million votes.

More people who didn't vote last time got off their asses and bothered to turn out to vote against him.
That was the difference.
The feckers who couldn't give a shyte in 2016 and who hated Hilary got out and voted this time.
