One week has passed since the elections, and we don't know who won states such as Arizona, Georgia and Alaska. I am really surprised with the delay from Alaska. ... Are they transporting the ballots in dog sleds and carts pulled by polar bears?


IIRC Kodiak Island was boat only three or four times a week.

Many other areas would be very slow by our standards, in seasons when small aircraft cannot fly.

Hmm, so WHEN SHOULD Al Gore have finally conceded?

Was it totally uncool for him to demand recounts in FL or is it just totally uncool when a Repub does such a thing or of course, just when Trump does it?

Which of the states in 2020 has a margin at least within an order of magnitude of Florida 2000 so that your lame attempt at whataboutism would make an iota of sense? And how many of these states would Trump need to flip in order to win? Can he try a recount in California? Should Biden try a recount in Texas? Where does this nonsense stop?
....But what Trump is doing (and has been doing) is undermining the legitimacy of his own office by carrying on with this childish tantrum.....

I see your point but would classify it under "totally uncool just when Trump does it."

But that's coming after four years of non stop scheming, lying, contriving false collusions by the Left, so they shouldn't expect Trumpers to be "reasonable" according to their edicts.

You'll just have to be content with the use by Trump of the legal processes entitled to him to examine whatever he wants to examine. Meanwhile, I'm certainly pleased with the general direction of the results of my poll!

Rome? Wow. Yes I can see your comments.

@Spendulus, thanks.

Unfortunately they've already decided the candidate who is going to sit in the white-house

No, they have not.

Biden is not getting daily presidential briefings because the General Service Administration has not recognized a winner.

First of all, there are things you need to consider whether you do it for the sake of the country or just for yourself. Also if you think doing so will result in a good thing to happened or you are not sure about the outcome of it. Either way, if it's for the sake of the country because we already witnessed how Trump runs his government. why not gamble for Biden? maybe he can do the contrary and make America great again. if not, at least you've made some contribution to try to change the era of foolishness which Trump did when he was in power. 

I'm not really sure what you are saying.

Is it like, lying or cheating is okay if it is for a greater good, or something perceived as that?

Certainly we could say that some perceive lying or cheating as acceptable if it benefits them personally, as that is pretty much a definition of crime.

Totally not cool to lie and cheat and try to steal an election. Time for the loser to concede and start working on transferring government functions to the winner instead of obstructing the will of the people and discrediting the election process.

the democrats think everyone is allowed to vote....

No, this is true of a small minority of them. I know many Democrats, and they do not think this way.

But the small minority, here in the US, is very vocal and is assisted by foreign interests.

Proof, like a randomized, placebo controlled, phase 3 trial with 44,000 participants?
...

I'm good with the vaccine and the study, and this being a go...just saying take the 90% with a grain of salt.

For example, 90% of exactly what? Age? Pre existing? Ethnic? You know the drill.

In a democratic system, it should never be allowed or tolerated.

If it can be proven in court that someone broke the law in favor of a given candidate,
the said candidate should be disqualified and banned for life from politics.

I'd think one to four years in prison would be about right for the active participants. That might have to be a sentence of ten, then with typical early parole one to four.

But what about all the follow-alongs, the ones that know the election was stolen, but go along silently because its their party? And they parrot the talking points, over and over.

Sort of an attempt to gain a consensus in the media.

Both political sides shouldn’t exist.

The constitutional laws have been trampled on by both sides. Both the left and right run up the national deficit and put the country into more debt than the previous administration. Today’s current political system is designed to cause division amongst people, and I’d say it’s working.......

They took an oath to protect this country from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. So far, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Most will likely claim “I was just following orders”. Just like the Nazi’s did.

Reminds me of this:

for me of course that is very sinful, it has hurt democracy...
democracy is agreeing on the results of the majority vote, so if we support those who commit fraud in the general election we automatically support the fraudsters to become leaders. a fraudster who gets elected during a general election will only be a disaster for the citizens.

I do see it that way, but suspect many do not. After all, a strong minority really hate Trump, and they may feel that cheating and lying is okay to get him out.

Just look at the sorts of things they say.

Fist fight is the fairest competition, in the jungle all men should have no weapon equiped and fight the tiger and lion with barehand, it’s the fair fight. Assuming using spear, knife, gun, nuke is a cheating.
Btw human should fight with stick and stone but not with mouth fight. Smiley

Well, that's certainly a point of view I did not consider.

The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19....

I'd be very cautious about believing things like that.

Or all of a sudden, are we able to stop the common cold?

You heard me, we give zero damn about calling it’s Chinese virus, nor China president get mocked at being called the racist viruses, generally their culture don’t usually give a lot of damn on wasteful argument, or most of them don’t even understand what the white people are mad about with their language.

That's not even considering the many insults toward Westerners that are practically embedded in all major Chinese languages.

I would oh love it so much when those legal battles you republicans having so much faith on will be declined by the judges appointed by Trump himself. No one's above the Constitution.

But that's exactly what we are going to have to find out. You may be right, or totally wrong; but the role of yet another Internet-Yes-Man pushing a narrative is pretty sorry.


Oh and I would love this whole thing get overturned and send Sleepy Joe back to bed, hopefully not with Kids that he can touch or sniff on...

Lets have a repeat of 2000.  Grin

But there the issue was valid, authenticated votes; and the arguments went down to things like "hanging chads." It was all interesting though. Quite a drama. Here, the issues will be very, very different.

By the way, Sleepy Joe will go back to bed either way, if he loses or wins.

May be Trump will sneak out of the White House at night if he is embarrassed by the Biden defeat. His best decision will be not to drag the system to court. He should leave quietly in January, otherwise he will belittle the office of the American presidency like they do in Africa with electoral court suites.

LOL we all appreciate you riding a narrative there.

We'll see what the court arguments are before taking the word of random Internet posters as to what the President's "best decision" might be.
