Wasn't it the republicans who are trying to take a way democracy? Wasn't it the republican who asked voters to commit fraud? Wasnt it the president who was caught voting in 2 different states? Wasnt it republicans who have killed 250+ Americans by refusing to sort of a virus? Wasnt it republicans who paid people to stand up in court? Wasnr it Republicans who want a civil war?

Gotta say, I'm not convinced yet.

There is a way they could convince me, but they don't do it, I wonder why?
How is the pandemic not real? You really think a conservative government would sanction paying people's wages since April if it wasn't a real thing?

Forget the numbers who have died, I get that people think they have been manipulated but you really think a Tory gov would give money to the lowly working class if there wasn't a very real crisis going on?

First you'd need a Conservative government for that to happen. Sadly, we have a globalist government.

The pandemic is a clear and present danger, but discussion on that should be confined to that thread.

Alf if you have an issue with the reality of the pandemic, please post about it there.

Fair point, well made, Mr Sticks. Although I was just replying to posts, I didn't bring it up in this thread.

the meaning of what i said was clear. They are biased, but that doesn't mean that what they say is incorrect. Feel free to make up your own story though, it seems to be something you are very good at

By the very nature of having people on from both sides of every argument, it's impossible for them to be biased. You can say they're not very good, and we'll be in agreement, but they're not biased.

I'm not even sure what the last sentence is supposed to mean.

It's so sad when people are so careless with the freedoms that others have died to protect that they cheer on a loser attempting to defy the will of the people and steal an election.

Sidney Powell: Trump legal team disavows lawyer who claimed Venezuelan communists helped rig US election...


Donald Trump’s legal team has distanced itself from attorney Sidney Powell after she spread wild conspiracy theories about election fraud.

The president’s legal team took to Twitter to distance themselves from Ms Powell, who has claimed Venezuelan communists helped to interfere in the US election, and to insist she was not working for the outgoing president.

The move came just days after Ms Powell appeared onstage with Rudy Giuliani during a bizarre press conference where the former New York City mayor also made baseless accusations of voter fraud.

“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity,” said Mr Giuliani and Jenna Ellis in the statement.

On Saturday Ms Powell, a former federal prosecutor, claimed an upcoming Georgia election lawsuit “will be biblical” as the president’s campaign continues to try and prove its unfounded voter fraud allegations.

“Georgia's probably going to be the first state I'm gonna blow up," she said on Newsmax TV.

"We've got tons of evidence. It's so much, it's hard to pull it all together. Hopefully, this week we will get it ready to file, and it will be biblical.”

During the press conference last week Ms Powell claimed that Mr Trump had won the election by a “landslide” but had been cheated by an “algorithm” designed by Dominion Voting Systems in their ballot machines.

Ms Powell claimed that the fraud was controlled figures including George Soros, the Clinton Foundation, communists from Venezuela, Cuba and China and corrupt election officials.

She claimed the Dominion Voting Systems machines were created in Venezuela at the direction of the late Hugo Chavez so he never lost an election.

Dominion has denied the allegation and the Trump campaign has not produced any evidence to back it up.

Ms Powell’s claims were even too much for Fox News host Tucker Carlson who said she had no evidence to back them up and became embroiled in a public spat with her.

I think the US has an even bigger problem than Trump on its hands at this point. Trump could pop a blood vessel whilst writing an especially angry tweet and drop dead tomorrow... it's too late... it's not just that a massive chunk of the US supports Trump, he's now successfully convinced those people to stop trusting, and so effectively turn their back on, democracy as a whole.

Which is essentially the major founding principle of the entire culture.

That's nothing short of catastrophic and... well... it's done.

it depends whether it works out as being a blip or something longer term. I don't see the gop fundamentally changing the narrative, so it's not looking great for 4 years time. People will be happy enough if the country is doing well economically as that tends to override other considerations.

I also think there will be a crackdown on social media which should remove a lot of oxygen from the anarchy, but time will tell

If the economy does well it might calm people down as they'll see that the dire warnings were just hot air. If the economy struggles in any way I can see there being a lot of "God Emperor Trump was right!! The communists stole democracy and now we're all ruined!"

Also if vaccination programmes are a success and Covid comes way down, Trump is already setting the stage to take full credit for that with all of the "Operation Warp Speed" nonsense.

She had no choice but to comply, she would have been in a lot of personal legal trouble if she had continued to obstruct the transition.


There is a part of me that wants Trump to fight to the last just to see him being dragged out of the WH on January 20th
