    Who knows but a lot of people got very upset by it.
    People don't like a hypocrite and this was the real reason for the outrage. Nobody was really that upset for Coopster.
    Did I miss something? Did the offensive language using, keyboard warrior trollbot get upset by something someone typed. Aw diddums.

    Oh he's been on these boards for a few years now. It's amazing what you can find online...

    What was he actually supposed to be doing in the Oval office. It is like he has just left that house guest that he invited to root through his house with a bunch of kids.
  • There's going to be an awkward silence from the remoaner crowd with this result :smiley:

  • In 4 years time maybe they should have another vote about it.

    In 2016 the vote share favoured Clinton but Trump won. It's almost as if the system for electing the US president and a referendum on a single issue are different things with different electoral systems.

    Yet another tweet fest last night.
    He is still fighting the fight.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Trump is 100% correct on this. It's why America will come out the other side of this way better than the UK

    Albert Einstein was a genuine genius.
    His brother Frank was a right monster though. 😉

    I know that's the doctor, not the monster and I'm not taking credit for originality.

    Now blocking the unemployment payment Bill agreed by Democrats and Republicans just to be a d1ck. I really hope they get a veto override as that will really annoy him.

    The trouble being that he hasn't vetoed it, he's just playing golf instead. They can't override his being a d1ck.

    This is worth watching... Chris Cuomo is, as Americans would say, pïssed.

    Full blown authoritarian attempt to overthrow the election result going on by the Republican Party.

    They’re not backing down.

    TBF, it's only a (relatively) small number and not supported by the Senate Majority Leader. Hopefully Pence will see sense and not support it.

    It's quite extraordinary... even if it is, as many are saying, just 'theatrics' by those involved, to get Trump's 'base' behind them for subsequent attempts to run for the Presidency, the fact that they are undermining faith in the validity of elections is incredibly dangerous, especially in a country where there is so much firepower, and people who say they would use it to impose the government they want.

    That Trump is encouraging mass protest in Washington on 6 January to try to overturn the election result is... well, would have been utterly incredible until Trump came along.

    FWIW I would suggest hoping people see the better side is not really an effective tactic in this scenario

    it's eleven senators/senators-elect, and pence's spokesman has stated that pence is supporting their action

    but pence is just a weasel, i blame mcconnell, he's spent the last few years enabling trump and his extremists, in the process proving himself to be a profoundly dishonourable and despicable individual, if he'd done the job he swore an oath to do, things would be very different

    "In a statement, the 11 senators led by Texas Senator Ted Cruz said November's election had "featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities"."

    The allegations are extraordinary. The evidence however is non-existent.

    It's great, make a load of unfounded allegations and then claim the amount of allegations is evidence of fraud. Genius.

    Think the Trumpanzees are now up to a score of 60 legal cases brought and kicked out by the judiciaries various.

    If the Russians genuinely did help Trump get elected, with or without his knowledge, with the aim of undermining public confidence in US democracy then he's playing a blinder for them.
