    I see a lot of people making accusations of Biden being a Pedophile, what is this based on? I can't find any credible source online, can anyone show me where to find the information, I genuinely would like to know if its true.

    Also why does it not matter to people that the other guy was one of Jeffrey Epsteins best friends?

    This has been done to death on the threads where trump supporters reference images where it seems Biden is smelling girls hair but then completely ignore everything else with regards to the Epstein allegations and the other court cases (rape claims etc).

    And the Senate pick the Vice President!

    There's also the issue of the people who actually cast the electoral college votes ignoring the public vote and voting their own conscience
    I don't think EC are allowed to do that anymore

    We know how some groups acted when Hillary lost. We know there are some groups preparing for violence when Trump wins. The (IMO) false narritive of Biden on the verge of winning being perpetuated by the mainstream media is building false hope among these groups. They will react violently when Biden loses. Itll be worse if the result is not known for some time.

    Honestly thought this was a post from a few weeks ago rather than earlier this morning.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's a conspiracy group called QAnon.

    Comment needs more capital letters and exclamation marks for veracity.

    His spelling and punctuation, (or lack thereof), are on point though.

    Give over. A guy who's going to win wouldn't say 'stop counting the votes!'
    Unless he wants a recount as he lost lol

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    What's going on in Georgia & Penn - has counting stopped for the night? Or are they planning a big dump of votes?

    This is all just building up to the mother of all meltdowns. Its going to be EPIC!! There is NO WAY Trump would lose to a man like Biden. Yes it is close but like I have said for months, Trump will win. I personally have not flinched.... Again I am exposed to RTE, youd swear Biden had it in the bag the way their going on its hilarious :)

    You're right, one should completely distrust the mainstream media and tune into Fox News for the alternative facts.

    Dont tell him Fox have already called Arizona and so he only needs Nevada which is an almost certainty

    Actually maybe someone living in the states can correct this but what I read was the house decides but votes in state blocks and that that would actually suit the republicans. I don't think it'll actually come up but...

    You are correct - It's a State by State vote , so the House majority in each state cast a single vote.

    As it stand the GOP have the edge 26-24 in terms of State level control.

    So if it ends 269-269 Trump wins, as the under the specific rules for this scenario the GOP control both votes.

    If Biden wins with Arizona and Nevada it is going to be a really dirty battle.

    It would need to be, as it would involve Trump having to somehow alter the fundamentals of mathemathics and somehow make 268 greater than 270.

    Arizona is definitely still in play.

    Called way too soon by Fox News.

    Biden is favorite, but Trump squeezing some votes in some counties.

    When I went to bed it was roughly 1,411,000 for Biden to 1,318,000 for Trump, a lead of 93,000

    I now see that it is 1,469,000 to 1,401,000 rounded to the nearest 1,000.


    So overnight, it looks like Biden has added 58,000 and Trump has added 90,000.

    That is roughly a 61%-39% split in favour of Trump.

    CNN were showing that there are still roughly 400,000 votes left to count. If Trump gets 60% of those left, that gives him an 80,000 swing and he's only 68,000 behind.

    It looks all to play for as Biden needs more than 41% of the remaining votes to win.

    TLDR: It looks very tight in AZ.

    The Trump campaign team is trying to get some states to stop counting, where he is ahead, and to continue counting where he is behind.

    Its fairly pathetic and amusing seeing the Trump campaign back peddling and scrambling around for a solution that they won't get.

    You know the game is up when they send out the religious nutters to pray for victory on TV.

    Fox definitely called Arizona early - There was a mistake earlier in the night yesterday that had said that Arizona had counted ~93% of the vote or so and Fox called it on that basis.

    However , it turned out that they had only actually counted ~80% of the vote at that point so it was too early to make a definitive call, but I think they'll still be right in the end though.

    The consensus opinion seems to be that the outstanding ballots are likely to favour Biden so Trump is struggling to close the gap , but it will be very close.

    Actually I haven't seen any law suites yet - do you have some links? I am expecting some in the coming days though!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,443 ✭✭✭sondagefaux


    Is there actually an official procedure for declaring a state? Most media organisations seem to be treating themselves and other media organisations as the arbiter for this. Is there not some functionary tasked with making an official declaration?

    Yes. Each state has an electoral commission, whose head announces the offficial result.

    It's standard for the media in many democracies, Ireland included, to declare their opinion of the outcome in advance of the official results being announced.

    Where would media coverage of any Irish election or referendum be without frequent updates of unofficial vote taĺlies?

    WRT to the quote, he said he wanted stop new votes after the polling closed.

    Thats better - big difference between stopping voting (after the polls are closed) and stopping the vote counting!!!

    What did he say then, and what did he mean?

    "Counting stop the votes"?

    "Votes the stop counting"?

    "The counting votes stop"?

    A concern I would have is that even if Trump loses he sets up his own propaganda news station and spends 4 years dividing the country even further for another shot at the job. I wish him and his horrible family would just f**k off if he loses.
