If the democrats are rigging this election they are doing a piss poor job of it.
Can't rig it too clean or people will get suspicious. Suspiciouser?

@NTA yeah mate, I agree. in the hierachy of "evidence" soundbites and single sentences are very low in importance, but definitely amusing
It did take me back to lectures in Calculus 25 years ago when discussion unreal numbers: "As x approaches zero the likelihood of y being non-zero... " etc.

Who are these Americans that you think need closure from the courts? Do you think Trump will accept with grace any verdict that doesn't go his way? Will his most rabid supporters?
So far I have seen a great many more moderate GoP members call Trumps baseless accusations a disgrace than I have call for an investigation.
Again, I'm totally fine with investigating and punishing any wrongdoing. But I've yet to seen anything that makes me think they have anything substantial to go on.

Nearly all of them who haven't raised the attention of social media or the fern. Millions of them regardless of their vote this week.
Certainly more than you or I have seen
Can't speak for what Trump will do

Already seeing chat about the "McConnell/Biden partnership".
You reckon the GOP think they've lost and are maybe glad to be rid of Trump? What do you think we could expect from this? There will be certain things completely off the table in the name of partisanship but I reckon there is some common ground coming out of COVID they could look at.
Lot of horse trading to do.
From looking at our own parliament, the guys who have been sitting there for long periods on either side develop those kinds of relationships.

Sure, I don't profess to know all the Americans in the world. But it seems telling that not many of their GOP representatives are backing Trumps actions.
And I just haven't seen the smoking gun here.

Budget cuts that maintain military expenditure, plus some kind of Libya style disastrous intervention.
Ah, the good old days.

@Winger who has touted him as fbi head?
She (although). Its Michael Flynn's attorney. Various sites were saying she will replace Chris Wray

She, apologies, which sites? Bipartisan by any chance?

Nice speech from Biden, didn't declare victory but said it was looking good, and very much an offer of bipartisan government. Also noted that he, Senator Harris and his advisors had been contacting experts to start working on plans for Covid and the economic recovery.
Looks like the Senate is 50-48 to the Republicans with both Georgia senate races going to a runoff, so still in play but probably going to remain Republican.

Ohh that’s what a classy statesman like speech sounds like.
Trump has been gagged today from reports but after that I bet he’ll be hard to keep quiet

so whats with the whole not declaring/claiming victory?
I saw a headline earlier claiming Trump had warned Biden against claiming victory.

@taniwharugby still too close to call with absolute certainty I’d guess
