The Trump administration is trying to bring back firing squads and electrocutions for some federal executions...

You're implying that the President of the United States of America is a right wing conspiracy theorist. Think about that for a moment and question if reality has left you.

I came back because my ban had finished.

You see? this is The President of the United States saying this. Just because the media is telling you different, doesn't mean they're right.

If Trump was a fascist dictator, would Twitter be allowed to put those disputed messeges on his tweets?

Would news stations be allowed to cut him off during an address to the nation and accuse him off being a liar?

It looks to me like America and their democratically elected President are under attack.

Anyone who has been paying the remotest attention to Trump's twitter feed knows that he is, indeed, a right wing conspiracy theorist. No help from the media needed... He's right there for all to see.

As are you self-admittedly Alf, the first thing you started talking about when you came back was QAnon like you thought it was some grand new discovery that people wouldn't have heard of .

Anyway. The most bizarre part of this is that they think if they win in court, Trump then wins the election. There is absolutely no way to prove which way the supposedly fraudulent votes were cast, and thus, if they get the rsultnoverturned it doesn't mean Trump wins... It means the election is null and void and they have to start over. A truly horrific outcome for the US and a constitutional catastrophe. Not good for anyone at all.

No-one who's sensible and/or knows what the words actually mean thinks Trump is a fascist dictator.

I don't think Trump was cheated out of a win, but I wouldn't be surprised either. Most political systems are corrupt af, but that doesn't mean corruption was the reason Trump lost, I think the reason Trump lost was ... Trump.

You just make things up, don't you? What utter drivel. What Is it that makes you believe that you're in possession of the truth as to why I made a Q thread? Only I know that truth.

Who's the conspiracy theorist now?

And that probably would lead to a Trump win, because people who don't pay much attention would think he lost solely due to the fraudulent votes...

So I take it you're all going to be rejecting the evidence that's coming out, no matter what? And are putting your trust in the madia narrative? Would I be right in saying that?

Frankly, I think it would lead to the partial collapse of US democracy, as you couldn't run a second election without electoral reform. If Trump is successful then he is successful in demonstrating that the US electoral system is broken or at least irredeemably flawed, and running a repeat election under the same system would be pointless; it would simply be challenged, again, by the losing side.

To be fair when Trump won through the electoral college people were calling for reform anyway, so that'd make them happy

If the evidence is evaluated and presented from an unbiased source then I'll certainly take it seriously. If it's coming from the Trump campaign and Republican mouthpieces then it's not so much that I'm not interested at all, as that I simply don't have the time or inclination to wade through hundreds of pages of text presented on a Republican platter.

"We have evidence!!! It was RIGGED!!" isn't news, Trump has been tweeting this since election night. If/when a court says "Umm actually they do have evidence..." and something changes, that will be news.

Hmm, I think he would quite like to be one, I think his admiration (jealousy?) for how Kim Jong is able to rule is evident, however thus far it APPEARS that the US constitution is robust enough to stop him from actually being able to rule as an autocrat.

If Alf is right and he is indeed able to manipulate the US legal system to the extent that he's still in the White House come February, then I think he'll be further emboldened.

But saying that Biden is already President when officially, he isn't yet, is outright lying. Why don't you ever question that with the same passion as you have the Trump claims?

There's no such thing as a totally unbiased news source however I will accept reporting of facts (actual rulings, actual things happening) from any source so long as they're verifiable. Claims and speculations are not legal rulings and so any insistence from any source about "Wot This Means" is going to be biased wishful thinking and garbage. That's on either side.

I literally haven't seen anyone claim that Biden is already president - unless you're confused about what the term "President Elect" means.

Boris Johnson has claimed it along with some other World leaders, not all of them though. Biden has been on the phone with Johnson discussing future plans. Not to mention the media who have already called the result for Biden.

Yes that is how the US election system works; the associated press call the result and the assumed winner is declared President Elect which means the assumed future President of the United States. "President Elect" does not mean "Elected President" though I think the term is confusing to some people. They are not officially elected until the Electoral College meets, and they are not sitting president until January 20th. The result can change and has done in the past; this has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the associated-press-called candidate is referred to as President Elect... for example, Al Gore was President Elect.

I think maybe there's also a misconception that the associated press "calling" an election and declaring President Elect is some new or out-there thing that's just happening in 2020 "because no one likes Trump" and that they have "no right" to do so. It's been part of the US election status-quo since 1848.

Mike Cernovich is a cook.

He starts talking around 1.50

You're going to be really pissed when you find out Flynn was fired.
