It's common sense.
The facts are clear, Donald Trump lost fair and square and making out that the result is wrong because the Trump cult is trying to undermine democracy and the vote to get their way. Sometimes a vote doesn't go your way, it doesn't make it less valid. |

Perhaps you could possibly have a word with the bookmakers to let them know that the result is already in? People are waiting for their winnings, Christmas is around the corner! Last edited by Alf; 27-11-2020 at 03:49 AM. |

The bookies don't pay out until the result is officially certified, particularly when a sore loser keeps challenging things with stupid claims. Most people accept the reality prior to the official result being certified because the result is obvious.

.For some added history; they used to "call it" similar to how the media do with the presidency, and pay out when a result looked concluded, but there were a couple of incidents where they got badly burned doing that (paid out a winner, then when a result was overturned had to pay out on the other result as well) so they won't pay anything that isn't 100% finished and verified these days. To use a smaller example; if you're in a bookies and the guy at the counter has watched the race with you, saw your horse win with his own eyes... Don't expect to be paid until the result is up in lights on the results screen. If the result isn't on the screen, it's not getting paid. (extra extra addendum; I personally often used managers discretion to pay out smaller bets, say under Ł50 returns, to a good customer so long as I had seen the result for myself) SO yeah... On this occasion, were I still in the dirty bookies, I'd probably pay you your winnings on Biden if they were under Ł50, but if you were collecting Ł500 you'd be waiting until the end of January, because the market is "Next US President" and he isn't sworn in until Jan 20th and thus the market isn't closed. Trump contesting the race aside; anything could happen before Jan 20th. Biden could die in a car crash tomorrow. |

Once this gets to the US Supreme Court with everyone of those lost cases successfully appealed, Trump will be declared the winner by congress as I described earlier and Biden will be indicted for fraud.

I’d say it was just asking people to actually use their brains and not buy into a floundering loser trying everything in his power to throw out the results of the most secure election ever. And it was the most secure election ever because people knew this would be the outcome should Trump lose, which he did.

For a US president obsessed by size – his hands, his wealth, his crowds – Donald Trump made something of a bold U-turn on Thursday night by addressing the country from a desk seemingly designed for a leprechaun.
Trump said on Thursday he would leave the White House if the electoral college votes for the Democratic president-elect, Joe Biden – the closest he has come to admitting defeat – but his furniture stole the limelight. While he harangued reporters and repeated unfounded allegations of electoral fraud, the internet zeroed in on his unusually small desk. Some called it symbolic of Trump’s diminished stature, some wondered if it was photoshopped (it wasn’t), most just laughed. The actor Mark Hamill tweeted: “Maybe if you behave yourself, stop lying to undermine a fair election & start thinking of what’s good for the country instead of whining about how unfairly you are treated, you’ll be invited to sit at the big boy’s table.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...dent-furniture

Mr Toy Soldier, I believe you had a bet on Trump four years ago? How long did it take for the bookies to pay you out?

The Trump campaign have lost their appeal in Pennsylvania and the first part of the recount in Wisconsin resulted in Biden netting a further 132 votes

It's absolutely all over for him and the pathetic loser knows it.
He's a one term President. The Republican party are looking ridiculous in not taking a firmer stand with him. It could be them narrowly winning the election next time. They should start to dissociate themselves from this would be tyrant, who has served his only real purpose. To stop Hilary Clinton becoming President. Time he started packing up his stuff in the White house ready to be out in January. He surely doesn't want to have to be undignifiedly evicted from the White house as an intruder or trespasser in January. He's done, his time over as more and more complaints are thrown out and shown to be unsubstantiated after any re-checking too. He frankly is acting like a spoiled little brat who has just lost a game of something or had his sweets taken from him. Last edited by joeysteele; 28-11-2020 at 08:58 AM. |

He knows he's out. As a World leader he should now only really be seen as a laughing stock. In a desperate and sad way. All he'll probably go down in history for is him.being a shockingly bad loser who probably should never have been elected to such high office in the first place. By the way, it's good to see you back Alf. Really good. |

I think Trump is holding a rally today. The mainstream media will probably not show it, but they'll be a few livesteams on YouTube, if you wanted to watch it live.
