I have no idea what this lady (observer/witness) who is currently speaking is saying, she's all over the place...

This woman has blew my mind... I'm flawed that someone can go around in circles for so long. The election should be re run again just because she was in charge of giving people ballots.

No way in a million years these state legislators sign off Arizona... for a start they're gonna be talked to death before they get chance to make up their mind.

All the testimony from the courts are not alleging fraud, just irregularities and when investigated there are none. Curious state of affairs. Recounts are making no difference.

There really is no basis for Trump to carry on, but he still is. He seems to have stopped running the country.

I think that's why his team have changed tactic and have now focused on the legislators. They've been laughed out of state level courts so they're doing their best to put the pressure on the legislators to not sign off the individual states. A ploy to buy time to either try and prove fraud or to bypass the Electoral college?

The latter is seems, but the American's won't like that. They value liberty above everything else. Attempting to bypass legitimate processes is a dangerous game.

It seems that way to me too & his base are playing that game with individual house Republicans at state level. At each rally they hold in each state they're shouting the threat loud and clear that they won't forget in 2022 if Republicans in the house don't back Trump.

The Independent reports Guiliani's seeking a pardon from Trump for crimes he's yet to be caught, charged or convicted. :lol:

Amazing that this market has done nearly another 200 million since the billion mark.

At the end of the day it's just a market, with players trying to improve their position, whichever side of the green/red divide they are on.

I'm starting to think you could well be right. Tbh, when you first wrote it I didn’t give it much of a chance in my mind but it looks like we will very soon see 1.5 billion....

Trump would appear to be totally off his rocker. I"ve seen better conspiracy theories.

He's like a guy who thinks a woman must be a lesbian, if she doesn't fancy him

Some people don't take rejection well, especially if they are use to being successful
