Failing that he’ll probably use his heritage to become president of Scotland. 

Would be better than Sturgeon.

On that, Idi Amin was saner than Trump.

What i don't understand is that this election is fair, but the Democrats cried for ages that the Russian interference got Trump in. Please correct me if I'm wrong as new to this soap opera.

Future generations across the world, need to have that speech shown in Modern History.

 

It's a reminder.

 

Along with mandatory education relating to the ICE camps.

 

I have an odd sense of anticipation regarding Hannity's attempts to spin this.

Hagar the Horrible

His people can't continue with this lie mantra. He is making a Democratic process the kind of farce Putin would be ashamed of

That is Donald Trump very very close to crossing the line to being a Dictator.  
 

I do not want someone like that anywhere close to Power here.

I wouldn't say that. Modern medicine was pretty much invented in Scotland. In Edinburgh actually. Among many other things. James Hutton is known as the father of geology. Adam Smith economics. And much more.

 

Quote

The Scottish Enlightenment (Scots: Scots Enlichtenment, Scottish Gaelic: Soillseachadh na h-Alba) was the period in 18th- and early-19th-century Scotland characterised by an outpouring of intellectual and scientific accomplishments.

The Scottish Enlightenment had effects far beyond Scotland, not only because of the esteem in which Scottish achievements were held outside Scotland, but also because its ideas and attitudes were carried all over Europe and across the Atlantic world as part of the Scottish diaspora, and by European and American students who studied in Scotland.

CNN reporting Trump 3,000 ahead with 18,000 votes to be counted in Georgia. If Biden gets 59% he'll win the state.

Out of the remaining States Trump takes NC and Biden the rest.

I don't recall anybody saying Russian interference got Trump elected. What they said was there has been Russian interference. It's an established fact that there was Russian interference.

At least they waited until after the count was finished and the democratic process had been followed.

Through some bots on Facebook? 

 

What was the level of interference? Actually noteworthy or some laughable bots that gave Hillary some form of excuse for losing.

Ever!

 

He just won't

 

 

He’s leaving the WH in cuffs or in a box. Guaranteed.

Yeah.  I think it was mainly Facebook ads targeting people with lies.

 

There was no hacking of votes.  It was all just social media manipluation.

I’ll attempt a good faith answer.

 

No sane person claimed the voting system was rigged in 2016. Russian interference was designed to change people’s minds, cause internal strife within the U.S. and more importantly, depress voter turnout. It’s impossible to say how much it worked, and therefore if it swung the election. Ultimately, it was just one of many factors that led to Trump’s win.

 

This time, Trump is making accusations up out of thin air. Completely different.

 

I trust that clarifies matters.

I think JackLadd's idea of Trump setting up an alternative "government", or at least trying to encourage people to view a Biden government as illegitimate, is right up his psychological street.

Bang on.

 

Basically it's like Trump telling the Republicans not to send in mail votes.

 

Or, the reported phone calls people were getting telling them not to vote in person.

You want me to quantify the level of interference? That's beyond my expertise. Go ask the global intelligence agencies who stated it happened. Enlighten them with your own expertise.

Just caught Trump's address. What is a melon voter?

 

It's how you say "mail-in voter" when you're slurring your words a little?

There are no words to adequately describe that Trump speech, but I'll try.

 

He's a rambling, demented, lying buffoon who is an embarrassment to his country.  That was a shocking diatribe from a pathetic human being who desperately needs medical help.

 

I'm sure I'll think of stronger words later.

So he’s seen it before but it’s unprecedented? 
Does he understand what unprecedented means? 

 

He only "understands" what is beneficial to him. Maniac!

Problem is, almost half the hoi polloi voted for this prick. Nowt more needs said about that country.

For web pages.

Nah, not when he's only grasped the reality now. He's known his master is a nutter from the beginning but like the rest of the sycophants kept his gub shut.

Despicable, groveling *******.

Is there any realistic prospect that Biden could win Georgia but lose Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and North Carolina?

It must be awful being a Republican voter in the US at the moment. Thinking you've won and now seeing your hopes not only go up in smoke, but go up in smoke in an excruciatingly long drawn out process, like watching a bus going over a cliff in slow-motion.
