OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Bandwagon]

yeah I already said I think trump claiming counting should stop is f**ked up - there are rules and if they adhere to the rules then so be it .... and I also agree that I think trump is sending up a bunch of smoke screens... but also saying its something that probably does have more potential to be rorted - and may well have been - but then both sides could be rorting it

I do agree with him on the surface though .... I think its best when results are fairly clear on the day of the election .... and yes I realise that might not be possible and close elections might mean recounts etc - but at least make f**kin rules that aid it being possible

eg I don't think the system should allow votes to keep arriving afterwards - have a cut off for the vote to arrive, if it doesn't then tough - if you want to postal vote then get it in on time

The other thing is, that with Biden leading in AZ and NV when he made that call, had they actually stopped the count, Biden would have won

That's the kind of idiocy we're dealing with here

100% there should be a foolproof electronic system that gives instant results. But there isn't one for various reasons, and those reasons are the same reasons why it suits the Republicans to vote on a Tuesday, to have long lines and complicated and time consuming voting procedure which vary from state to state. So in the meantime, they have to deal with it.

BTW there are some protocols in place for electronic voting, but predictably it's a dogs breakfast. I was wondering the other day why they still have imperial measurements, gallons, inches, fahrenheit etc. Clearly they could NEVER all agree on such a sensible alignment with the rest of the world.

yeah agree ..... he seemed to think the east coast needed to stop but was happy for the west coast to still have the potential to swing his way - daft

although I think he may have been ahead in NV at that time cos its in a different timezone and was still in the the rural votes being counted and the urban (dem oriented) being slower counts

FFS Gronk would you stop with your ridiculous conspiracy theories

I'm hearing that some state have had problems caused by Sharpie. FFS, is there no end to the f**k ups that guy has caused?

If the postal votes being so heavily in favour of Biden was a known thing then why was every expert under the sun calling it for Trump on the first night? Even the bookies had him at $1.17 or so. It's the scale of it that is difficult to believe.

no real expert was calling the race in the first few hours. I doubt you could find any.

Bookies only set the opening odds (which wouId been early in the year when Biden was confirm as tyre candidate).

The odds on Wednesday is purely based on the money coming in for each of them. There is a formula, so the bookie makes x amount. The short odds just means there was plenty of money coming for Trump (idiots not understanding the current numbers)

If I had the cash, say $10 million, I could easily change the Australian US election market to make Trump the favourite (it’s similar to what Eddie the doggy brothel winner basically did to manipulate a greyhound race market)

Well it seemed like it. I was watching Sky mostly, which might have skewed the view but even Graham Richardson was convinced Trump would win. But even though he was a pollie that doesn't necessarily make him an expert.

Trump Promises To Hit Em With The Gutho If He Can Somehow Manage To Turn This Thing Around

US President Donald Trump has today made a bold promise to re-energise his base.

With things looking as grim as they possibly could without yet being over, The President of The United States has promised his fans to ‘hit em with the Gutho’ if he can somehow try and turn things around.

With 4 or 5 states still in doubt, and Biden riding off the back of a heap of postal votes to get him ever closer to a win in Georgia and Pennsylvania, things are looking bad for the Trump campaign.

However, with Trump’s viral campaign video still ringing in people’s ears, he has tried to keep his protesting base up by promising to give em the Gutho if he can get out of this sticky situation.

‘The Gutho’ is a dance move made famous by the King of Parramatta Clinton Gutherson who trots it out after he bags a meat pie.

Starting around about last year by the King, the Gutho has spread far and wide with a cult-like following in Rugby League circles, and now, in the Whitehouse.

It’s not known how the President’s body will hold up to the rigors of the Gutho, or whether his hips will be able to pull it off, but it’s certainly provided some extra motivation to his supporters to keep on protesting outside electoral booths.

Gutherson is yet to formally comment or endorse the use of the move.

More to come.

He’ll definitely break something if he tries ‘the Gutho’.

Richo has no idea, after not many states flipped in the early count, it was most likely going to come down to MI/WI/PA flipping (Obviously others now in play) and prior election media reports suggested there was going to be a red mirage in those states due to the different in voting methods (rep - on day / Dem - Mail) and how they count (day, first / Mail later) Which is what is occurring. Interesting it is a republican state government which refused to allow Mail votes to be counted prior to the election.

Anyhow the opposite happened in Texas / Ohio which had Dem leading early (as they counted Mail votes first), then Day votes. No one is complaining about those states, why did Dem leads suddenly disappear?? (Obviously no fraud just how the vote is counted)

Bat shit crazy Murdoch owned New York Post abandons Trump.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How did it?

Well I just explained how.
