So in their world , the results haven't been certified but in the world the rest of us live in , they have been certified and oddly enough there are no "backsies" allowed.

She claimed Democratic-voting states and cities had mismanaged their budgets for decades and that they shouldn't get any more aid. She opposes same-sex marriage and abortion. She was the first senator ever appointed to serve alongside someone to whom she initially lost an election. Her appointment was only because governor had to fill McCain's old seat after his nominated successor Kyl resigned. She once said she wants the federal government out of education. She supports privatising social security and raising retirement age. She keeps waving the flag about her being a fighter pilot and then called into question the patriotism of former astronaut and ex Navy pilot Mark Kelly just because he was involved in Chinese trade delegation. And she used Trump style tactics by labeling him as "Counterfeit Kelly".

Forget trump and his pity party, Emily Murphy as director is ignoring the law which her predecessors have followed. It says apparent winner which under any metric joe Biden is yet she seems hell bent on trying to stay loyal to trump who we know won’t be loyal to her if history is any indication. Having just read up on her time in this job she’s not exactly getting top marks.

Basically, the Trump campaign are withdrawing their litigation to prevent the election being certified in Michigan because they say that Wayne Co. have declined to certify the result, hence they gained the result they want. This is despite the fact that Wayne co. reversed the decision and have actually certified. The Trump campaign are claiming they won out of court....even though they lost:https://twitter.com/johnkruzel/status/1329443846422454275

They have however been proactive in banning extremists on both sides, and on enforcing fact checks when someone like Trump starts spouting drivel. FB on the other hand have openly been enabling this madness and division. They've done this in a number of places to the point the Burmese genocides of recent years have in part been attributed to them. They have been selling off user data to Cambridge Analytica without consent. They have played a central role in enabling foreign influence of other nations' elections (a reference beyond just Trump/Russia stuff). They have been the epicenter of anti mask/lockdown/5g lunacy, and if many far left and far right extremists in the US over the last several years, but the last 10-12 months more than ever.I don't think Zuckerberg is pushing any particular ideology to be clear, he just wants more influence and comes over as an outright sociopathic narcissist (in silicon valley? Who would have thought! :pac: ). Of course it won't happen, but ideally Facebook should just be shut down for good. They're a prime example of why these large social media companies need to regulate their content, and a very cautionary taken of what happens when you indulge the "free speech" brigade that actually give zero fcuks about free speech at all for anyone that isn't them. There's no two ways about it, FB are nothing short of evil.

Her personal awfulness has lost the GOP both Senate seats in Arizona - Ran for Election for an open seat and lost , gets parachuted in to McCains seat by the Governor and then gets hosed in the next election by Kelly. Has any other Senator managed to never actually win an election?

You have Republicans Voters Against Trump, The Lincoln Project. You have very hjigh profile ones like Bolton, Scaramucci, and a host of ex Republican cabinet members, officials and elected representatives. Cindy McCain's endorsement of Biden helped him win Ariziona and probably helped seal the fate of that Trump sycophant nutjob McSally. Check out her policies and stance on issues and how anyone would vote for her is beyond me. She is waiting I think for the states to certify the elections so that is her excuse when Trump starts screaming down the phone.
