This stuff is just insane...

Concerns for riots, legal challenges, verbal slinging matches back and fourth, declaring victory before the announcement...

How 'The leader of the free world' is chosen sends a shiver down my spine.

Dave Andahl won a seat in the North Dakota state legislature on Tuesday. He won't be taking up the seat as he died of Covid a month ago. I was a bit surprised that the electors voted in a dead man without knowing who his replacement would be, but that's politics I guess. No indicator that he had been at a Trump rally beforehand.
North Dakota currently has the highest per capita rate of Covid in the US.

This is just regular America. Funny how no one is mentioning the “Not My President” protests 4 years ago. It will settle down as it always does. The two side just watch this in to different ways, left thinkers are always “scared of what is happening” and “this is the end of the world if this happens”, while the right are always “ i am not happy with what is happening” and “this is the end of your freedom if this happens”. I will settle down as it always does.

There is an animated gif / short clip floating around of Trumps concession speech.

Its bloody hilarious. It's been ripped off from a movie with Leonardo Dicaprio.

It will bring further humour to this thread if anyone knows how to find it and attach it.

No, both sides just pick the person they think gives them the best chance of winning. Has very little to do with that person being the 'best' for the country, me thinks.

Trump, during his dummy spit speech saying the election is a fraud, and an embarrassment to the country.

I would say - Donald Trump is a fraud, and an embarrassment to the world!

Trump is now trying to get supporters in Pennsylvania to post in ballots now in an attempt to prove fraud.
I think that's a great way to prove how fraudulent he is...

He needs postals to break his way or have votes thrown out. The last would be highly controversial to add to the **** show that has already occurred.

If he gets a boost on the back of postal votes he will would literally call his own win rigged. Potentially elected twice after saying it was rigged. Let that sink in

He should have shut his trap until the count was done because nothing he is doing now changes anything and just makes him looks like a sook.

There has to be a voice of reason heard really really soon in the USA before the very real potential of insurrection happens ..

This is almost unbelievable to me , watching patriots of a country that used to be called the shining light on the hill or something similar begin to fight each other over a bloody election when it's all said and done !!!!!!!!!!!.

Over 100,000 cases a day over the past few days from the Covid 19 pandemic, 240,000 fatalities from that and ever growing claims of racism and violent protests on the back of a number of African American and police incidents is bringing that powerful country to it's knees right in front of our eyes .

Grow up America , take a long hard look at yourself and start talking not fighting before it descends into some form of anarchy .... And I'm not completely joking on how bad this could get unless common sense prevails .

What a mess ..

Just saw John McCain's old concession speech again, It was a class act.

He was a class act.

What a difference.
