He is turning more into The Penguin each day.

 

 

You could be right.  Definitely matches some key penguin criteria.  

 

“When emperor penguin mothers lose a chick, they sometimes attempt to "steal" another mother's chick, usually unsuccessfully as other females in the vicinity assist the defending mother in keeping her chick.[73] In some species, such as king and emperor penguins, the chicks assemble in large groups called crèches.”

That's your secret porn stash.

 

I found it funny that you took the "day" off work to follow this, then ended up getting pished and fell asleep.

There’s a non-zero chance that they really thought they had booked the Four Seasons Hotel. I must get answers...

 

Malevolence mixed with incompetence is a helluva way to run a campaign and a nation.

Really? Not sure who I'm referring to had any time for Trump. The big banks, Tech and Media companies all overtly supported Biden.

They've said they will put forward their case on Monday. Though I doubt there will be any detail.

 

Local state court actions have already been taken and rejected. For example over there being enough Republican observers, one of the complaints.

 

And bear in mind you have to raise actions at state level first. Because elections are run by the states. 

 

I just saw an interview with a Republican election lawyer, and he said that he has seen nothing that amounts to convincing evidence of any wrong-doing in the election.  He said that there was "an army" of Republican observers at counting stations, he mentioned the number of 50k-60k, so even if there are a few complaining about being obstructed it is a trivial matter.

 

One thing for sure, imo, is that if Giuliani is in charge of the legal case, it will be dead on arrival.

Yes Mr Giuliani, because I remember the courts declaring Trump as president in 2016 just like the 40 plus presidents before him.  
 

What a creepy little ****ing dwarf he is.

The wave of sympathy he got after 9/11 has long gone in many people's eyes - its almost like he's a totally different person 19 years later.   In the Trump Show documentary on BBC2, his incoherent ramblings were just downright weird.

I'll reply to you directly as my last post was a reply to myself.

 

Apologies if my post brought back bad memories or similar for you. I am aware of how bad dementia is. But you shouldn't be threatening violence against someone for highlighting the fact that the President-elect has mental issues (which is clear), be it early dementia or otherwise.

 

Anyway, enjoy your evening.

Dearie me....   

 

Anyway, FTFY now.👍

Trump's big boast was that he was going to improve the economy, create jobs, get a feelgood factor among investors etc.   All the above companies would have benefitted greatly from that.       Covid plus Trump's trivialisation of it  put paid to all that.   Not sure what you're getting at with this.

The Ayrshire Daily News, which reports on the region of Scotland where Trump's Turnberry golf resort is located, is taking a rather different view of today's news out of the US.

"South Ayrshire Golf club owner loses 2020 presidential election," reads their witty headline.

Facebook? Fox News? WSJ opinion pages? New York Post (until yesterday, apparently)? Maybe check out who Larry Ellison of Oracle supported? Those are all off the top of my head.

CBS,ABC,NBC, CNN, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, LA Times, NY Times, Washington Post etc etc etc right back at ya. Anyway the good news is Trumps gone (well almost) but now there's an IRA sympathiser in there.

I refer you to your use of the word ‘all’.  As for Facebook, I’ll assume you’re not serious.

Great that Trump has gone. But Biden's response to the BBC reporter I referred to above - "The BBC? I'm Irish" is of Trumpian non-presidential class.

Mind that time Thatcher said she didn't negotiate with terrorists - and then it turned  out she had been negotiating with the IRA  for years. 

 

But you bang away.

Still find it weird that Doctor Who married a woman who played his own cloned daughter in the show (which was where they met, just to bump the weird factor up) and is also the real life daughter of a previous Doctor Who actor.

 

 

About as weird as a President of the United States ogling after his real-life daughter.

Not too embarrassed.  The "bampot" got 70 million votes, which is the second highest vote in US history.  Biden's is the highest.

 

The Republican party nominee got 70 million votes.  If Donald Trump sets up his own party he'll find out precisely how popular he is compared to the party that nominated him.  That will be a far more painful experience for him than losing this election.

THANK **** THAT ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE HUMAN BEING IS GONE!!!

 

Ive never hated a president so much. He’s the thickest president there has ever been which coupled with his quite frankly dangerous and evil policies has proved to be an utter disaster for the USA. I hope this will begin a shift from this polarisation nonsense but I won’t hold my breathe.

 

I’m not a fan of Biden but compared to the evil, stupid, misogynistic, racist utter ***** that is Donald Trump, I’m hopeful the USA can move on.

And if Biden set up his own party? Let's face it we are talking about among the weakest Presidential candidates in history.

How does a picture of someone with Gerry Adams mean they're an IRA sympathizer? Is there any more to it?

 

I've a picture of myself with Sammy Wilson.  It's not actually hanging on a wall in my house but I've occasionally thought about putting it on display..  Doesn't mean I ever voted DUP.

Don’t have a link handy but it happened and it will be one of many Biden gaffes to come. That’s just of the package.

Of course I may  have imagined it or be lying.

 

I think when Tynieman referred to a link, he meant something we could click on.

We thought we'd seen it all with Trump, but this is next level stuff.

Thoughts and prayers with you at this difficult time.
