There are just so many new theories on a day to day basis so I use Fox News as a filter

If they're too batshit for even Fox to report on then I file them under mermaids, aliens and me waking up beside a super model in the morning
Makes sense.

It's funny how people believe whatever they want to hear regardless of the source. This is the New York Times.

Isn't every media source on the "fake news" list until they're reporting the narrative that suits individual narrative or belief?

I love how it was 'no evidence of voter fraud' and now its 'no evidence of widespread voter fraud' - widespread is such a subjective term, is 500,000 votes widespread?

I'm cshed out on the racen ow, made money on trump both vp's and am now standing on 6k on woods at 70 to 1, he seems happy and relatively fit for his age and knows the holes, will cash out hopefully.

Trump will win the election, I assume there are lots of people on the wrong side of this seen as the discussion is very bitchy :) Leading in the polls mean nothing if you have cheated, prison awaits and in the US of A no normal person would ever risk that so they spiill the beans

I thought you said you backed Pence at 1000? How did you manage to close for a profit?

It's folly to assume anyone who's bitchy must have a red book, especially on political matters. They don't get more divisive than this.

You're sure Trump's going to win so you cash out while he's in double figures. :lol:

And agree with the previous comments, nice to have a respectful discussion about something that most people find so divisive.
:lol: Seems a long time ago now.

I would say both those statements mean the same thing: no evidence of a significant level of fraud that could potentially change the result for that state.
Obviously a handful of people may have cast votes they're not entitled to and that can happen on both sides.

I wish we could back the winner of a horse race at 1.1 for this long.

I can't quite tell if he's complaining that cities haven't been burnt to the ground or admiring Republican's self-restraint. :?

One could argue that he is inciting violence on a grand scale.
