    It would've been better for America if Trump got 4 more years.

    I genuinely worry whats going to happen now.

    With that reasoning it may be better for a woman to stay with a man who is beating her, you know, for fear of what might happen if she left.

    The reason he may have just lost the election is the majority of Americans are worried about what is happening NOW, and concerned that the country they love would not sustain 4 more years of him.

    I think millions of people who idolise Trump feel he has been wronged. He will be much more dangerous out of office than in office. He will continue to hold this rallies which will attract more and more and become more dangerous .

    I genuinely fear for the trouble that will be caused

    So Trumpists will cause violence because they don't like the outcome of the election? That's probably the most accurate prediction you have made to date.

    9.9 million cases of the "Chinese Virus" in America, 86 thousand in China.

    Unsure what the relevance is ?

    He's just repeating another Trump lie.

    You'd think he would go for more believable lies or risk looking like a fool, its a tightrope I guess.

    In fairness, there does seem to be a bias but as you say, it's a privately owned platform so they are free to do so.

    Looks like a good few states are swinging to Biden.

    A lot of sites that tend to try remove bias and rules in their forums tend to descend into porn postings and radical rightwing nonsense.

    I know this for a fact, we tried it here once and well... RIP Bangbus forum.

    Yes. The Western world more akin to the Middle East and Africa now. Further division , violence and fraud. Sad to see

    Biden needs a final lead of about 70k in PA to rule out a recount..over 1% gap.

    Not true, recount in PA is automatic only in a situation where the gap is equal to or less than 0.5%

    I don't believe there's a provision to request a recount if the margin is above 0.5% but I may be wrong on that

    Was about to go to bed last night but then watched Trump speech on sky news.

    What great TV.:mad::(:eek::cool::P:confused:;):p:):rolleyes::o

    It really was. If you think about this as entertainment, that was right up there. I was saying just before he came on "In one way, wouldn't it be a huge letdown if he came out and displayed some degree of class and rowed back on his cheating claims." Trump is box office.

    But when you think about what he's actually saying, what he's actually doing, the people he is ****ting all over, it's a very, very sad state of affairs. He's undermining the cornerstone of the American nation, he is accusing workers of being corrupt, there is a strong hint of racism from his statement and he's carrying on like a spoilt brat interested in nothing but what suits Donald Trump.

    It's unreasonable, mind boggling, vile behaviour.

    That's fair enough .

    Twitter’s policy around newsworthiness protects certain people – such as elected officials with more than 250,000 followers – from having their accounts suspended or banned for rule infractions which would otherwise lead to severe penalties. That could see him gone from Twitter in January.

    Recount laws in Pennsylvania are that an automatic recount if the gap is 0.5% or less. A recount can be requested by a candidate and there is no threshold on the gap however the requesting candidate must pay for the recount (count staff / rent for facilities to do the recount in etc).

    In the end I reckon Biden will have a 100k-110k margin.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Don Jr threw his hat in the ring in 4 years time though.

    The support of backward hatted yahdoods is probably not a strong enough base to justify a presidential campaign.

    In a country the size of the US you will get the odd lunatic.

    But fears of widespread violence by mobs of Trump supporters on the scale of BLM or Antifa are total fantasy.

    The media will do their best to amplify and exaggerate violence (stock photos of guys standing peacefully with guns, or people shouting "menacingly"). Always implying violence on the right.

    They will be a lot tamer than the "mostly peaceful" guys on the left.

    Far from total fantasy unfortunately. The Proud Boys showed up locally to intimidate a local business last Friday. I’ve seen numerous “parades” of pickups with huge Trump and Confederate flags driving around blatantly trying to intimidate ( similar to the incident with the Biden campaign bus last week).

    Been in the US 30 years. Never seen anything like this before.

    Very much less violent than during the World Wars.

    Oh right, I didn't think the bias here was admitted to?

    Noticable how a lot of top rank republicans are keeping fairly stum.

    Of course after the Trump spawn came out and started demanding the GOP start backing daddy, a few GOPs like Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy are parroting the Trump rants.

    The rest like Mitch McConnell are trying to distance themselves or as someone on CNN said making sure they are on this sinking ship or associated with this trainwreck.

    And the fact that Trump is now attacking ordinary lower ranked Republicans including those in likes of Georgia that had actually backed him is going to copper fasten top rank Republicans resolve to disassociate themselves from the Trumps.

    The Trump family think Daddy is the GOP and that the voters will vote Trump before Republican.
    That may be true of some, but others they might find may not.

    Where will the incentive be for evangelicals to back a Trump in future when they already have control over Supreme Court which is what they have wanted most.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Twitter has confirmed that if Trump loses the election he'll also lose his "noteworthy individual" status which will impact his ability to spread lies on the platform.

    Very true !

    He did win. This is politics . Congrats Joe.

    I see Covid in America has disappeared this week. Too predictable.

    No, they had record case numbers just yesterday over 102,000+

    Folks as great as it is, best not to celebrate prematurely.

    According to CNN, GA sent out 8800 military ballots which have not yet been all received or started counting. If even half of those came back 66% trump (the minimum likely) then Joe could still be in trouble. And that’s before a recount or legal.

    Cautious optimism.

    The Secretary of State in Arizona almost laughed when she was asked about that.
