US Presidential Election 2020

[Derek27]

Psychologists say serial killers don't say where they hid the bodies because it's the last bit of power and control they have. Seems like Trump's reluctance to help the transition is his attempt to hang on to what little power he's got left.

[Kafkaesque]

Very disappointing, I was hoping Trump was going to appear at the podium in his underpants wearing a tin foil hat swigging from a bottle of Jim Beam screaming about rigged elections

His Twitter feed has been the non-visual version of exactly that since...well forever.

That was like a sparkler that didn't light... I'm gonna attempt 1 more go at it, if and when it feels likely

Who got the 1.09 to 1.07, Peter was first on the button with the news.... somewhere in the back of my mind I've got that this market is the most he has ever put through. 2 ticks might seem insignificant but the money on either side isn't.

[Derek27]

I suppose the fact that there was no mention of fraud, dead people voting, recounts, legal actions, and no "we will win" is very close to a concession.

The Times reports: Election was cleanest in history, cybersecurity chief tells Trump

He's running out of excuses now.

[Zenyatta]

Some clues in here to say that he's accepting the loss..

"This administration will not go to a lockdown, hopefully the... whatever happens in the future....who knows, which administration will be..."

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him, even his orange glow is gone

No sympathy for the guy at all. His stock and trade is all about whipping up people's fears and worse impulses with conspiracy theories, so he spent 4 years spouting a load of utter bollocks, and then after losing the election, tries to get the courts to disqualify people's votes with yet more bollocks.

The election result has never been in doubt since it was called. He knows full well he lost, that's why he started one last fund-raising drive (Election Defense Fund) and the legal bollocks is just so he can bilk his gullible supporters out of as much cash as possible before he's finally turfed out. We can help Trump milk money out of his remaining stupid supporters (who in my view thoroughly deserve to be relieved all their cash) , by laying him to oblivion

I reckon DT is using his remaining time in office to undermine the postal votes process so it never gets used again to the extent it did during covid.

My view is that there must be a way found so online voting can be included in future elections (U.S & UK).

Someone mentioned the use of NINO's, add in a few extra security checks, not that hard to do.

That was me, but I don't think Trump will GAF about the future of elections, he'll just care about his future, avoiding prison, etc. After all, he's the victim of daylight robbery, it would happen whatever voting system they had. He must think really highly of the Democrats to have pulled off an outrageous stunt you only see in films.

They're now so desperate they're going back to 1994 to find evidence of election fraud. I think the Democrats should ask their lawyers about the potential to sue Trump, the Republican party or both. You'd think they've overstepped the mark somewhere.

Biden the builder will wait his time on that one. Already gone on record that he's coming for trump over his tax affairs...interesting times...

He needs to forgive Trump (not pardon him), turn the other cheek and have no interest in settling old scores.....but let his aides pursue Trump's wrongdoings. Kamala's a former prosecutor, she could take the lead.

Yes, NINo's could be used as a solid base to build voter ID (except those involved in the pensions industry know it was not uncommon for duplicate NINo's to appear from a time when they were manually assigned by a clerk at a desk but maybe they have literally died out by now!). But I think the fear is more on the hacking side ... until someone can produce a 100% secure unhackable website it carries an election fraud risk. Remember hackers stop probing once they find the entry door. There could be lots more future doors that won't be discovered until the existing door is closed.

So in 2046 Trump may be posthumously sworn in as the 2020 President?

Don't go there buddy, I suspect every member of the Congress, Senate and Presidents past, present and future (including you) could be linked to a tax avoidance scheme of some kind! Let he who has never put a personal expense on a business account and claimed tax relief on it or who has taken a benefit from an employer and not declared it as a taxable fringe benefit cast the first stone! Well, are you feeling lucky, punk? Are you?

So sad that the NYT a once a great news institution has reduced itself to an anti trump pamphlet. Breathlessly rabbiting on about the possibility of a “coup” and other nonsense.

This is the same media organisation that published articles in the wake of the 2016 election encouraging the electoral college to ignore the results of the 2016 election and choose someone other than Trump. Others like Martin Sheen (and a bunch of b grade actors who like to talk down to deplorable) took to YouTube begging the electoral college to overturn the 2016 election result and choose someone else.

The hypocrisy, the cant. Maybe it’s not sad, it’s funny - the left never accepted the election of Trump and waged open hatred from 2016 and now the faux outrage that Trump lamely (and despondently) claims fraud and feigns a lack of acceptance of the result. If only those academics and news media that are now outraged had one iota of credibility.

‘Any one makes outrageous claim Without evidence then it can/shall/will be dismissed without evidence’

trump has a habit of making outrageous claims ,only to fall short after a fishing expedition which leads him to no closer to the trueth.
He is in charge of the F.B.I, C.I.A and the PENTAGON. Till today he hasn’t been able proof his claim of Obama’s birth certificate being a fake.
He also claimed Hilary got illegals voting for her hence her winning the popular vote and he actually promised to start an investigation to no avail.

One thing I must give him, he is consistent. He has Consistently been making the allegations of voter fraud since Day 1.
He made the same claim in the republican nominations race Where he won the ticket!

Most of the evidence he has is either coincidental or manufactured ,it will end up proving very little or inconsequential fraud. Which will not alter the end result in any meaningful way.
The longer he stays in the state of superiority complex, the Better for the Democratic candidates running For senate in GEORGIA.
That’s where the order flows.And I guess Donald doesn’t give a F**k.
He is playing golf while corona cases explode!!

Probably down to all those democrat voters who were too scared to go out and vote but had no problem going out to partyyyyyyyyy after the election

on a serious note though, 0.07% per million with a population of 328 million, the UK 0.07% with a population of 68 million.... i think he outdid us, but that's no suprise when we have a pissed up dandelion in charge. I hardly think the cases are exploding but if that's what it says on that little black box then it must be true.

Democrats had to reclaim song Y.M.C.A from maga , a good excuse for partyyyy

0.07% of 328 mil. Americans But strongly skewed against ethnic minority especially frontline workers and elderly.
Donald , Boris , Prince Charles and bucket loads of well known celebrities got the COVID , and non kicked the bucket!
No wonder the small black box says
“Some animals are more equal than others”
Who needs the lockdowns?
