I suspect the vague and listless Barr will have a bob each way in the media but intends to run down the clock.
The problem is that significant enough to reverse. Trump said something along the lines of facts being on his side, but time against him. The current situation is like a sporting contest where drug testing has to be completed between the end of the event and the time the winner takes the dias. This is especially true of presidential elections, where fraud has the greatest payoff.
“Comey” FBI investigated.
I hope Trump sacks the useless piece of shit. Put someone like Gowdie in to replace him, then put Sidney Powell in charge of the FBI and Mike Flynn in charge of the CIA.
That would put the cat amongst the pigeons.
Another bucket of whitewash over here please!
Trumps record for selecting good, loyal and reliable people is terrible.
Who would have thought property developers were more honest and ethical than political operators.
As a sideline Barr had just sppointed Durham as Special Counsel to make him harder to get rid of.
How was he to know the swamp ran so deep?
“Trumps record for selecting good, loyal and reliable people is terrible.”
Even Trump himself must be wondering just how deep and pervasive the Swamp really turned out to be.
Put Powell in at the DOJ (maybe), and Flynn in at the FBI.
I’m still holding a candle for Barr. Perhaps the Scytl server raid was legit??
Gowdy is compromised.
Listen to Levin on law suit that are in the Civil court explain what is going on illegally . Anyway Trump has them on the constitution . Too many judges have made changed rules re election in the States that under the constitution can only be changed by the State Legislature .
So, they did find voter fraud. Will there be a deeper investigation? Will people responsible be persecuted?
Or is voter fraud considered by DOJ akin to a child lying when asked “who took the cookie?” – everybody lies at times.
Where is the rule of law???
washington is the swamp, 93% vote democrat
That was months ago, only announced now
What has he done for Trump (and the American people) lately?
Has Sleepy Joe picked an A.-G.? Maybe Barr is banking on being to Biden what Robert Gates was to Obama? (A GOP holdover to show the world the new administration can “work across the aisle”.)
In “Dog that didnt bark” news I find it slightly curious that the August, shriveled organs of the left (MSM/ABC/Fecesbook etc) arent trumpeting the incredible popularity of papa hair-plugs, after all he smashed all voting records while only running a dozen campaign rallies throughout the campaign.
It appears that there is no longer any function for the campaign rally as a means of generating turnout or votes.
Every campaign has been doing it wrong since the US became a nation state.
The secret to electoral success is to not be visible, to not outline your governing objectives and people will just flock to send in postal votes in numbers undreamed of in the past.
Why isnt this Paradigm smashing feat of electoral genius being dissected and lionized by its proponents?
Its a mystery.
This dude from Georgia is mad as hell and he’s not going to take it any more. Good for him.
Trump lost. Get over it
An interesting couple of minutes:
So according to Barr, the DOJ, which spent $40 million for the two year Mueller investigation into Russian Collusion with absolutely zero evidence, now can’t see enough evidence to investigate the most blatant election fraud in history!
Fuck Me Fucking Dead! What a sham!
Posted by me this morning on the Open Forum:
From cohenite at 9:06 am:
FBI head (Wray), CIA chiefette Haspel and the sacked secretary of defence Esper together worked openly to sabotage President Trump and Barr is no different. He was touted as a brilliant legal mind and all the rest of the hyperbole – oh, look! he plays a saxophone or the bagpipes or something, he must be ever so clever. Not once did he act to defend Donald Trump against the spivs who would shoot him down in the street if they could get away with it.
They have no personal or professional integrity, they cannot spell loyalty or honesty or honour. Every last one of them is on the take – that is how the third world capitalist empire operates. Money is all, they treat the dollars like applause.
Those two new Supreme Court judges Barrett and Kavanaugh are, in my view, in it up to their necks just the same – one cannot succeed in government employ in the USA without seeking and accepting the graft en route.
These goons are the same as Xi’s corrupt lieutenants, the only difference is they wear a business suit fashioned from finer fabric.
Donald Trump is a threat to their very existence – he enjoyed more real power and wealth than they will ever experience well before he pursued high office; and he demonstrated clearly that his motive was real change for the common good. Americans need him in the job way more than he needs it.
Good point Frolliking mole … such a super popoular leader should be lauded over ,perhaps his white privilege is embarrassing …..
I’ll be curious to see what President* Biden does about the existing sections of the Mexico border wall.
How was he to know the swamp ran so deep?
There might be a pattern…
Barr worked at CIA
Barr was Bush Sr’s lawyer then AG
Barr created phone spying blueprint for Patriot Act
Barr covered up the Iran Contra BCCI bank sandal
Barr’s dad hired Epstein to work with children
Barr’s law firm worked first Epstein deal
Epstein suicided under Barr’s watch
The Department of Justice. 59 min
A DOJ spokesperson seeks to clarify Attorney General William Barr’s comments today
“Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated. The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.”

We need to face the facts. Joe Biden is the single greatest campaigner and vote getter in the history of the Republic. His genius is even more manifest when we note that in 2020 he only campaigned a few hours a week, to rooms filled with 25 media personnel and parking lots with 50 cars. We now know that without his coattails, even Obama would never have been elected, since he outpolled The Wonder One by 15 million votes. No wonder the Democrats owe him big.
Joe’s unique campaign methods and sheer electoral brilliance make his act of losing 50 out of 51 bell weather counties across America but still winning the Presidency a masterstroke. Also for the first time in 60 years the candidate (Biden) with the least number of primary votes ( around 62%) beat an opponent (Trump) with the highest percentage, having won 94% of his party’s primary votes.
Given that Trump will be the first President in 150 years to increase his popular vote (by15%!) and lose re-election is more sign of Biden, the master. Finally, his audacity that approaches Nelson at Trafalgar in .picking Ms. Harris for VP. This will mark the only time the least popular and most disliked and first to drop out of the primaries, amongst all Democrat candidates, boosted her party to the greatest American electoral victory of all time.
Anyone doubting, if there are any by now, Joe Biden’s brilliant and unprecedented skills in politics will note that he under performed Hilary Clinton’s votes in every USA urban county except Philedelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit and Atlanta. And still won a massive victory.
If the Democrats use the unheard of intelligence and political genius of Joe Biden, none of them will ever lose another Presidential election.
Barr was completely misquoted and is furious.
You believed the media reports again.
When will you learn?
It’s amazing that within 1 second a person on the right can be slaying the media and then quoting them as fact.
From the other election thread…
Given the hearings in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan would anyone care to comment on the likelihood of these states declaring clean electoral results and ultimately participating in the Electoral College?
My first impression of the report on the ABC was that they were lying.
They were lying.
Now Barr is a Democrat stooge. Anyone in the market for the Harbour Bridge? I’ll even rename it the Trumpet Bridge, no extra charge.
From cuckoo at 12:42 pm:
If the incontinent dribbling degenerate gets shoveled in I trust the Bolivians, Mexicans, Colombians, Cubans, Venezuelans, MS13, Crips, Bloods and Haitians swamp the border every day for years, accompanied by the middle eastern criminals that were arriving in increasing numbers up until 2016.
Get those crime levels up to the level the American dopes deserve – now that would be pretty to watch! Four years of that and the joint would be completely rooted.
Taco trucks!
Close to 100% I imagine.
So we keep hearing from more and more marginal sources that the election is just about to be flipped. But it doesn’t actually happen. We keep hearing all about how the machines can be compromised and were used to steal elections in Venezuela. We’re also told the data was stored in Germany and could have been hacked there.
Okay.
But judges don’t want to hear what could have happened. They want to hear what did happen AND that there is evidence that what did happen was unconstitutional or unlawful.
Right now the case is being made that the US can tighten up its election processes but not that the election was stolen.
(Yes, I agree some of the data looks anomalous. Explaining statistics to a judge isn’t going to do anyone any good.)
Scott Adams on twatter. It’s a very sound point.
I still suspect Epstein was a Russian agent with a job of getting kompromat on high profile British and American political and business figures
Look at how much money the bloke had, sure he must have earned decent coin working for a time on Wall Street, but that sort of money doesn’t buy you the house he had in New York or a private island
And Epstein really arrived on the scene in the mid/late 1990’s just as Russian intelligence was getting its mojo back after the fall of the Soviet Union
So no surprise folks who has been around for so long as the Barrs have would have fallen into Epstein’s trap
Well said Sinclair. Some of the reportage- Gateway Pundit, Infowars etc, they’re complete nutters!
This is the point.
The fraud is obvious, but it’s very hard to prove without a proper chain of custody, a full audit and recanvassing, which is each state’s jurisdiction, not the Feds. SCOTUS can only refer matters back to each state, so don’t rely on them…
This is 4 years in the planning and the Trump admin should have been much better prepared. Instead they wasted so much time and capital on stupid things like prison reform etc. He best be ready for 2024 or he’ll get done over again.

Sleepy Joe beats sleepier Trump.
Awaiting more mean tweets.
But judges don’t want to hear what could have happened. They want to hear what did happen AND that there is evidence that what did happen was unconstitutional or unlawful.
Some of the claims made in Sydneys cases is the electoral commissions made changes that were the prerogative of the legislature.
They might be interesting.
However its also worth pointing out the incredible repercussions of an overturned election (or even invalidating one state) will make the bar for evidence incredibly high.
In effect they are signing off on, at best, a cold civil war.
If the Supremes, and this is a big if, they allow states to certify the “steal” and refuse to become involved by allowing it to pass then they might be hoping any trouble stays “local”.
In effect putting the unity of the US over the democratic process.
Aren’t you now believing the media reports about the media reports?
We do the best we can. I don’t have Barr’s phone number.
Infidel Tiger King
You are forgetting the awe inspiring charisma and massively attractive policy platform of the Biden/Democrat team.
The man has been godlike in his ability to garner votes from his Joebunker.
Um, yes it is.
Good on Barr – at last showing courage enough to break away from all the lies, illegality and fraud of Trump – How can you have the worst president in recent US history telling his followers to vote twice, then get his mate Louis de Joy (little joy) to disable postal sorting machines to slow down or stop voting from certain states – and then, worse, firing Chris Kerbs (rusted on Republican) in charge of Cyber security who said there was no obvious evidence of electoral fraud thus incurring the wrath of the mad man?
Certain Qs emerge from the miasmal mists of the White House swamp and its reptiles:
1.Why is Giuliani looking for a pre-emptive presidential pardon?
2.What are his children looking for similar pardons?
3.Why did Trump’s campaign lawyer, Joe Di Genova, in the recent interview, threaten to kill Chris Krebs and Trump did not raise any protest at all?
4. Is Trump a criminal?
Bollocks.
So far, they have vigorously pursued sweet fuck all. The fraud is obvious. They need to start arresting people.
I don’t know where you have been getting your news from Sinc, but it’s not from the state senate hearings.
The case has been made multiple times that it has been stolen. Totally compelling.
I was talking in relation to the commentary here, not your post.
Some of the fever dreams happening are giving the Dems circa 2016 a run for the money. Raids on servers in Germany… c’mon man.
{Go Deep}
That’s a classic, Will.
Compelling testimony is not going to change the course. We all know it was stolen, we could see it happening in real time.
You need the vote calculations recanvassed.
Why the Trump campaign didn’t have someone like Richard Baris on the payroll is mystifying.
We need the FBI to do their job.
This was a coup. There should be serious consequences for that.
The ‘main stream’ (sic) media cannot be relied upon to report anything accurately and honestly. You always have to go back to the primary source document if it is available.
I am yet to have read any media report since the US election which states facts impartially and honestly.
You wouldn’t even know from the Australian media that there is an issue being litigated, now at SCOTUS level, as to whether the mail in voting system used in Pennsylvania was authorised by its constitution.
I don’t know whether President Trump can knock out the States of Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania (or some combination of them) from sending electors to the electoral college so that Biden falls below 270 votes, and the selection then falls to the delegations from the House of Representatives. but that seems to be the battle plan.
Jim Hoft is a despicable lunatic. His site is handy for the videos and stuff he rounds up but his BOOM! ‘reportage’ (so redolent of Hannity’s Tick Tock) is nothing more than a money-making exercise. He is surprisingly influential – Sidney Powell and Mike Flynn deal with him directly.
They won’t do squat. I would not be surprised if the FBI and CIA are involved.
The same tactics the CIA used to use against foreign enemies are now solely aimed at the domestic level.
I have zero faith in anything Associated Press writes. Like the rest of the msm, they don’t report anything. They’re story writers.
Most republican, and a significant number of democrat voters now believe it was a fraudulent election. So much for the media blackout.
There is a momentum shift as more and more testify to the fraud and President Trump now has a number of pathways to his second term, and he WILL prevail. The people on the ground know it and so does the media, but they pretend to ignore it.
That’s really what this comes down to.
But the FBI is now the intelligence and security wing of the Democratic National Committee.
And that’s not even close to an exaggeration.
“But the FBI is now the intelligence and security wing of the Democratic National Committee.
And that’s not even close to an exaggeration.”
Yes indeed C.L…just like the Victorian Police is now the security wing of the Victorian ALP.
An AP ‘report’ claiming the A-G said something he never said didn’t happen by accident.
If it’s true President Trump has a private intelligence group, once again led by Gen. Michael Flynn, that would be a tremendous asset against the Deep State.

This is one of history’s turning points.
“But judges don’t want to hear what could have happened. They want to hear what did happen AND that there is evidence that what did happen was unconstitutional or unlawful.”
You cannot prove anything if the judge won’t hear your case.
If you have been paying attention, the cases are not being heard due to technicalities, not lack of evidence.
The Trump team hasn’t been stellar, but to accept that Joe Biden won 80 million legal votes while hiding in his bunker for the duration of the campaign is fantasy.
It’s actually the mathematics that confirms the fraud of the Biden win.
At 10pm EST in the US, it was mathematically impossible for Biden to win.
Democracy is about to die in the darkness.

Very well said Leon.
Perfect.
And I’m keeping that for firing from the truth cannon. Many…many times.
Not that it will do much good.
We appear to live in a post truth world.
Nobody even knows which fat lady has been chosen to sing.
There is so much misinformation and disinformation being fed to the public that no-one knows the truth.
You all want an answer today. Not going to happen.
Twelve days or so until the electors declare their intent. There is a lot of legal maneuvering going on, a lot of which will turn out to be irrelevant.
Sit back, crank up your popcorn machine and enjoy (or not) the ride.
Explaining statistics to a judge isn’t going to do anyone any good.
At one time I would have thought so, too. But then I observed a NSW Supreme Court judge warn a defence team that he would not put any store by an argument that used computer modelling to determine the cause of a natural catastrophe.
I would never have predicted such an event – & I was mightily impressed.
Leon:
Somehow I don’t think so.
The Collectivists think we might get cranky because that’s what they do when they don’t get something they want.
They don’t understand the Right is enraged over this threat to themselves – it’s not just something that can be placated by mummy giving them an extra ice cream, this will be the white hot anger of a man in a crowd who keeps getting punched in the back and when he turns around, all he can see is smiling faces.
The Collectivists are children playing with matches, utterly unaware of the danger they are in.
Yes, Will at 12.56 for me too and for the over 70 million fraud-sniffing American real voters too. The hair-sniffing decrepit dithering creep who claims to be America’s choice has no electoral track record to prove it and inspires no confidence in the result. This will never be believed no matter what is ‘declared’. There is a limit to credulity.
Biden’s ‘win’ is at that limit. Quite frankly my dears, no-one believes it. They never will.
This exact outcome was predicted here on the Cat on Election Eve, once the fraud red flags became apparent.
None of the judiciary – State through SCOTUS – wants to be responsible for triggering major US civil unrest on the basis of a probability statistic, or the supposed operation of black box software, or the aggregation of thousands of independent micro-frauds. Generations of flawed elections and four months of BLM/Antifa riots set the precedent.
Technical reasons to avoid considering the issues.
Hands washed.
Status quo ante intact.
Bingo.
I suspect that the supreme court might rule that an unscrutinised vote is an invalid vote. That would get the invalid vote count high enough.
Maybe the outcome in that case is a contingent election, which if it happens would probably see Biden as president and Trump as VP. Watching the Democrats go through the RBG experience again with Biden in that case would be hilarious.
Just goes to show, never believe anything remotely political you read or hear in the MSM, without independent verification.
Far too much fake news.
From Infidel Tiger King at 2:01 pm:
Oh look – yes! indubitably, without question, right from the jump. I was searching for his name way back, I was, truly.
None of the judiciary – State through SCOTUS – wants to be responsible for triggering major US civil unrest on the basis of a probability statistic, or the supposed operation of black box software, or the aggregation of thousands of independent micro-frauds.
Thats my reading as well.
Putting the integrity of the country over the integrity of the vote.
Yet to be seen how well that will play out or if you can have one without the other.
“The hair-sniffing decrepit dithering creep who claims to be America’s choice has no electoral track record to prove it and inspires no confidence in the result. This will never be believed no matter what is ‘declared’. There is a limit to credulity.”
Exactly.
Perhaps Sinc should add IV to the title for those still on thread III.
If systemic fraud can be shown then none of this is necessary because Biden would be disqualified. Fraud vitiates all.
The Deep State’s overconfidence lost them the 2016 election, so there is no way that they would have allowed Trump to win a second term. I suspect that they were formulating plans for massive electoral fraud 48 hours after losing to Trump, and at the same time employing the Russia,Russia,Russia hoax to keep him on the back foot and putting out spot-fires for the following four years.
That COVID-1984, which so greatly favoured the authoritarian political-Left, appeared at the very beginning of a Presidential election year seems more than coincidence. Which makes me wonder if the Deep State had cooked it up in some US lab, the gave it to China to accidentally release. It might be a conspiracy theory, but given the craziness of this year, it’s not out of the realm of fantasy.
Some points:-
* AG Bill Barr is a bureaucrat. His job is to protect the institutions, not to have perp walks in front of cameras
* Appointing Bull Durham as special counsel wasn’t made to protect the Russia Hoax investigation. It was made to stop Trump from declassifying everything (hence destroying the beloved alphabet agencies).
* Bill Barr IS the swamp.
* Don’t confuse the private work of Sidney Powell and LL Wood et al with that of the Trump legal team.
* The Trump tea isn’t pursuing the Dominion/Venezuela angle. Powell and Wood are
* Remember, Dubya lost every single court case in 2000 until he got to SCOTUS. Then he won everything.
* The Trump team needs to show unconstitutional shenanigans in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia to SCOTUS. That is their best and probably only path.
I still give Trump a 10% chance of success.
COVID-1984 was certainly a gift to the Plandemic, that the UN had planned for only a year before.
Since a judge changed the rules for election in at least one State and not the Legislature that is not according to the constitution . So if the Constitutional laws have been broken then votes are null and void as Levin explained .
Yup, Barnes is studiously avoiding cyber fraud in court.
It’s only mentioned in Rudi’s public hearings.
Why is everyone so surprised? They were going to rig the election, they did. The money and power (wasta in Arabic where this is daily fare) involved is gigantic. There is no moral or ethical base to the country anymore as there is no afterlife. Conservatives are so innocent and they are now looking for a fair result! Give me a break.
Barr and every other bureaucrat is caught between possible obscurity and picking the winner. Mind you I have my money on Trump. He is still a property developer. They are cunning and very smart.
And I think history is going to repeat
Zuckerberg’s mate paying rural Election contractors $50/hr when they’re normally paid $15/hr – more than triple rates – plenty of money to throw around.
The wombat shuffled from his burrow?
Could there be a scheme to assist the Colombian girls to flee to Australia? It’s safer for them here and at least 50% of the population would welcome them. Save the refugees!
The software was designed for the outcome to be manipulable. It doesn’t even have an locked audit log, there is no way to trace who did what. It’s like selling a car odometer with a knob on the back for ‘adjustments and corrections’.
What? There is no 2024, this is it. If this is allowed to stand no Republican will ever be able to win again. If not corrected it’s over, no point him running for President again or any other Repub. They get to select who gets the top jobs, may allow a few lower level positions to go Repub for the image.
Jeffrey Prather via his podcasts says Bill Barr is swamp. Prather outed Ezra Cohen-Watnick as “Q” and claimed Barr was going to indict him.
Barr and Wray were not notified of the raid in Frankfurt on the servers. The white hats have them.
The plan is to get as much awareness about the fraud in the open at the lower courts so people will understand that extent of the corruption. SCOTUS then invalidates the Election.
If SCOTUS does not invalidate, Biden and Harris, along with others (Barr? Wray? Comey, Brennan, etc) are arrested. Huge civil unrest will have to follow. But who has the guns? Snowflakes? Democrat city dwellers?
No dishonest Johnny Howard in the USA has been able to buy back the guns to date.
Guantanamo Bay has had extensive renovations and additions. The complex has about four times more buildings from the sky.
If Trump does not remain President, we in Australia are doomed as far as freedom goes. Expect track and trace, forced vaccinations next year over a virus that the CDC states on its website has not been isolated and is unavailable. In other words, the virus does not exist and all the deaths are from standard causes–except the ones brought on by fear and isolation. The deaths that were not associated with chronic comorbidities were from new cases of standard causes but put down to the disease that doesn’t exist.
The way things are going whatever freedom remains in the free world is resting on Trump’s shoulders.
Trump will win.😎
[ Bookmarked ]
You might be on to something, Steve.
Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered Governor to respond to Trump lawsuit re: 220,000 illegal ballots that must be thrown out, giving state to Trump…
Just goes to show the extraordinary power of internet fuelled, politically motivated, conspiracy theory/propaganda to sway the readily gullible.
Life is not a James Bond/Jason Bourne movie, and while children sometimes spin out on a fantasy because it seems more exciting than real life, there comes a time to grow up and look at reality.
Here’s the actual evidence:
1. As reported a week or so after the election:
“Election officials in dozens of states representing both political parties said that there was no evidence that fraud or other irregularities played a role in the outcome of the presidential race…”
As it says, that means both Democrat and Republican figures. That is, the ones who understand fully how their individual state systems worked and who take professional pride in seeing the elections are fair and fraud free. Their reward for not lying for their President is death threats and intense harassment from his followers who think Youtube and media figures who make a living from selling conspiracy know better.
2. This guy:
“Two years ago, President Trump put Christopher Krebs in charge of the new Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Krebs, a lifelong Republican, was confirmed unanimously by the Senate. ”
Been sacked for not lying for his President and now, as with many others, under a continue stream of violent threats – from people allegedly on his own side of politics!
A person with detailed knowledge of systems and steps taken to ensure their fairness. His opinion speaks from a position of expertise and detailed inside knowledge of systems and how they worked: compare that to Sydney Powell, who clearly has been sucked into QAnon sphere of influence. I mean, honestly:
“Powell on Tuesday filed an affidavit from Ron Watkins, the son of 8kun’s owner Jim Watkins, in a Georgia lawsuit alleging that Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the election had been corrupted as part of a sprawling voter-fraud conspiracy. ….
No real evidence was included in Watkins’s affidavit, either. But Watkins, who said in the affidavit that he lives in Japan, nevertheless speculated that — based on his recent reading of the Dominion software’s online user guide — it may be “within the realm of possibility” for a biased poll worker to fraudulently switch votes.”
Mmm. Convincing. It’s in the realm of possibility that Trump knows enough about nuclear physics to give lectures on it because he learnt it all from his MIT uncle, too. But as with voter fraud on a massive scale, this is implausible when there is no evidence other than some Trump bragging about how much he knows.
3. As reported by Barr today (to paraphrase) – he’s been looking but hasn’t found anything significant enough to change the election outcome – including the international cyber scandal fantasy/conspiracy of Powell. Yes, he specifically mentioned that.
Barr has showed himself to be a true Trump friendly culture warrior throughout his tenure. If he won’t make Trump conspiracy supporting statements, what’s more likely – that he is a member of your fantasy world Deep State after all; or that even someone as Trump friendly as him can see that there is no point in fighting reality?
4. Incredulity that Biden could attract so many votes is nothing other group participation in your (soon to be former) President’s psychological coping difficulties with public rejection. It is ridiculous to have to point these things out, but try this:
* Trump’s popularity polling was persistently low throughout his entire presidency. (And by the way, polling in America is difficult – but it’s not, as a collective exercise, a completely invalid gauge of opinion.)
* He was always a polarising figure – a large Democrat turnout was always likely, and consistent with Democrat success in the mid terms
* The better success of Republicans “down the ballot” than for Trump personally is readily explained by Trump’s lack of personal popularity – see above. Oh, OK, you’d rather go with “no, it’s a sign of the conspiracy involving our international socialist enemies and hundreds, if not thousands, of their operatives working in vote gathering and counting in multiple US states.” Sure. By which I mean – get a grip.
4. The courts are not being convinced, regardless of which side of politics appointed the judges.
Just because the media and internet sources you watch are telling you something – remember, the problem here is that you are being convinced by the people further-est from having on-the-ground and detailed expertise of what happened. There is no good reason to base beliefs on their opinion.
Try having sufficient humility to re-join the world of reality. Just a suggestion.
Grip will now testify to Biden being the most popular candidate ever. Who’s incredible ground game and charisma was obviously all that kept Obama in the game.

Hang on, if there is no signature verification of the mail-in ballots, and the rejection rate drops by 99% from that in a typical election, and checking the signatures in at least 4 contest states would flip them back to Trump and thus the election but election officials refuse to conduct signature verification, doesn’t that suggest a stolen election?
the real game imho is how the Supreme Court views the legal niceties of a claim that the electoral process in states was fundamentally not determined in accordance with those state’s legislatures requirements – those aspects are highly technical and probably have not been correctly observed and there are sufficient grounds for SC to adversely review what happened ; the second limb is the theatrics of the show – is there sufficient shock and awe for the SC – ie all the ballot dumps, dead voters, dodgy goings on, not precisely determined but determined at a ‘feel’ level for the SC to weigh in : I think there is increasing noise an probably sufficient for the supremes to say -‘ insufficient observance of the formal requirements in PA, GA, WI, AZ and MI exist for there to be a withdrawal of certification in those states & for those legislatures to inform themselves so as to make an appropriate choice for this ballot and further consider what steps may be required to ensure future ballots are managed in a legal and transparent manner’ :
Trump also won all bellweather counties which means that every past electoral reporting or predicting convention has been proven wrong in this instance. This is fraud, pure and simple.
There will be another election in a few years but the talking heads’ predictions will be meaningless. The results will be illegitimate and disregarded by the people. Either they right this wrong now or it’s over. But seeing as the Supreme Court is part of the swamp the fix is in.
Indeed, this is a pivotal moment in all world history: as goeth the US, so too the rest of the free world
From Arizona gathering via TGP
Not only has she sung, she went home for Thanksgiving, ate all the turkey & trimmings & spent the following day looking up Black Friday sales on the net.
There were 14 counties in 2016 which had been bellwether counties in the previous 40+ years which voted for Hillary.
There were 16 counties in 2020 which had been bellwether counties in the previous 40+ years which voted for Trump.
There is now only one county which has been a bellwether in the last 40 years: Clallam County in Washington state.
The obvious conclusion to draw from that is not fraud, but that demographics of the electorate are changing which means the median swing voter is less white and less rural than it used to be.
Jim Hoft truly is the dumbest man on the Internet.

No. It is a reflection of everything that was and is lack lustre and corrupt about this man.
No-one cared enough to attend his risible campaign meets. The man is a visibly aging puppet.
This is a Third World quality of an electoral ‘stuff you’ to the huge mass of real voters for Trump.
Your arguments about voter polls don’t hold water; the polls have been Dem fruit drops for ages now.
As for the mid-terms, possible fraud there too, plus the middle of a term indicates little.
It wasn’t a choice for the President that was happening there.
Trump was on a huge roll and enthusiasm was high, so were the results … until ….. sudden collapse.
Go tell fairytales to Goldilocks. This win is not believable in an unrigged voting system.
Now, President falls over dog. Churchgoer pronounces psalm with a p. Piss off with that.
Accept it, only total rusted-ons and corruptocrats voted for this fool. Nose on face stuff.
Indeed, Rex. In the days when universities were places of scholarship and learning I have marked many a student essay informed by this sort of astroturfing on whatever the topic is at hand, getting by on the proverbial wing and a prayer. Unresearched claims and non-evidenced belief systems abound in this sort of sloppy groupthink. Get the right ‘line’ and you’re in, that’s their approach. Don’t let independent thought and applied rationality come into it. In the case of this election, a clear-sighted judgement can be made that there is a range of mounting evidence for fraud on a significant scale. It simply backs up the rational person’s recognition of a serious misfit between the candidate and his results. Also a serious misfit between the growing stature of President Trump, despite the best of propaganda efforts to pull him down, and a very sudden and inexplicable turn in his electoral fortunes at the eleventh hour.
Nope. Not convinced that this was all fair and square. Never will be.
Like 72 or more million American voters who came out as real people voting on the day.
This is infamy, a serious disease, and it will long infect the American body politik.
It may even kill it. Democrats, what have you done?
I find him basically likeable. And – he’s not Donald Trump.
Why wouldn’t 81 million Americans agree with me?
Oh, look at these figures – 81 million to 74 million does have a nice, round, “you were really done, Donald” quality about it:
Then she got fired and ran out of money. Covid cancels the Opera. lol
I am not sure that they all did.
And the Electoral College is where it all happens.
Check your US Constitution.
Glad you like ‘The Big Guy’. I don’t, although naturally China does.
And Iran. And no doubt certain people off the hook in the Ukraine.
He’s like an old, pissed Uncle at Christmas time right up until the sniffing starts and he wants you to feel his hairy legs.
Grip explains itself.
Just another swamp ‘never Trumper’. No idea about foreign policy, economic wealth creation, employment being grasped back for the country rust-belts and away from international playing fields tilted left always, more blacks and Latinos in jobs than ever before, and a Democrat governor screaming for a hospital ship and PPE (which he received very quickly) but murdering by neglect of aged care the parents of his voters. And for this he gets a medal?? Well done, never Trumper.
There are plenty of excellent achievements made by Donald Trump, including when he could, if not thwarted by Democrat Governors, making sensible arrangements re Covid in spite of much fake news reporting of his idiosyncratic ways of explaining new treatments. Never Trumper, history will show loads of stories of his likeability, compassion, humour and general moral goodness; but none of them made the 99% Democrat press.
And you find The Big Guy likeable? Dear me.
What do you want? A pass for trying? Not from me, mate.
In Australia – Biden was more than twice as popular as preferred President:
Stand proud, you 23 percent-ers.
I’d say “take your hand off it” if you a different gender.
There’s already a virtual publishing industry devoted to the number of people who used to work for him revealing his incompetence and narcissism. If, as is likely, he tries to split the GOP, expect lots more “plain talking” about his lack of abilities from GOP figures who have bitten their tongue thus far.
Everyone who supports Trump knows how much the media play in the US and especially internationally, including Australia, was all against President Trump. The poor man couldn’t shake a hand or have a wife wearing high heels without some negative story being constructed around it.
Your burble about Australians not supporting Trump in polls is just that, burble.
Remember when Shorten was going to win the last election? The quiet Australians said no.
A lot of quiet Australians also see much to support in the way Trump supports workers and resists the insanity of recent attempts to destroy the Western traditions of the Enlightenment and its culture. They and I, look with fear and regret on the coming total devastation of the US economy with a Nude Green Eel, which Biden will send our way too.
Random question for you Gripe:
Was Beirut the result of a fire, or a tactical nuke?
Good to see that you recognise two genders and not a multitude of wishful thinking. Perhaps there is hope yet for you to one day accommodate other scientific revelations, such as the varied results for epidemiological and atmospheric modelling of both Covid and Climate Change depending on which modelling is used; demonstrating perhaps the limits of modelling complexity when making important decisions politically and economically.
Trump is not a perfect human being; only one of those is claimed, as far as I understand it. Quite simply, Trump was doing a lot in a hurry, at the same time as fighting fake Russian hoaxes and impeachment, and a lot of rather obstructive people got in his way; he dealt with that, and made no friends in doing so. They wrote and are writing their books. So what? That’s the hurly burly of politics whereas history tends to analyse more deeply and beyond that. You denigrate, along with the crowd, a good President who will I think be recalled as a great one, albeit thwarted of his second term.
I think you might have something to take your hand off now. Don’t let me interrupt you though.
I am going for my arvo tea.
“In Australia – Biden was more than twice as popular as preferred President:”
LOL…a poll taken by The “Useless Studies Centre”.

Methinks, given the gunk he’s posting, he thinks those pesky Joooos to the south are to blame.
The point of referring to polling showing his low popularity is to try to encourage you to stop projecting your personal Trump fandom onto the US electorate, and thereby being unable to believe that he beat Trump by about 4.5% of the popular and valid vote.
ps Never Trumper Gripe – I don’t expect you like Margaret Thatcher much either?
*Lizzie B trips off to tea with a feather in her cap for Margaret is always a female icon to revere*
lol
Go and fall over a dog somewhere, Never Trumper.
The only modelling Trump knows about is the kind that let him perv on young women in the change room – because he could.
To quote from the man himself, circa 2005:
“The point of referring to polling showing his low popularity is to try to encourage you to stop projecting your personal Trump fandom onto the US electorate, and thereby being unable to believe that he beat Trump by about 4.5% of the popular and valid vote.”
What a comedian.
“The only modelling Trump knows about is the kind that let him perv on young women in the change room – because he could.”
LOL..who is this moronic troll?
Just the facts, Miss.
M’am. That would read better with “M’am”.
OK he may have said all that but so what? No one cares. Donald Trump is The Teflon Man.
And to something mh said, no one cares about Rudy Giuliani’s rings either. Sure they’re gaudy but like Trump he’s a New Yorker and New Yorkers are like that.
Methinks, given the gunk he’s posting, he thinks those pesky Joooos to the south are to blame
Goodo. Keep probing.
I suspect this is a Graeme wearing a new sock, but until.there is confirmation from the Sayeret Matkals playing hide-and-seek among his trousers, I cannot be completely certain…
Apart from the 81,000,000 who voted him out, sure.

Don’t think he is Graeme….because Graeme is entertaining…in all his madness.. Gripe is just an adolescent progressive dick…Toowoomba Turd’s son?
Apart from the 81,000,000 who voted him out, sure.
Ah yes, Sleepy Joe Biden. The People’s Choice.
So popular the dead rose up in their hundreds of devoted thousands to vote for him. So beloved, the legions of the Anonymous voted by their tens of thousands in unclearly-marked paper ballots in the dead of night for him.
So destined to rule and reign in his golden benificence, Trump voters who voted Trump and a straight Republican ticket had their votes psychically *Cough*Electronically*Cough* altered so they too could vote for him.
Got any Izvesthia, Comrade bugman? You Pravda has gone off…
