Needs a trump presser

 

[mauvais]

Giuliani banging on about a dead guy who still votes and then says the guy actually voted Republican anyway so maybe shouldn't mention it.

 

[dessiato]

I'm watching France24 which has cut from the press conference and is saying, in essence, there's a lot of lies being told by the Republicans.

 

[LDC]

Fucking hell, Giuliani has lost the plot. Talking bollocks loudly and incoherently.

 

[danny la rouge]

History will record tweets? That’s depressing.

Business as usual for them.

There must be a garden centre near the golf course.

I watched a bit of Guiliani's press conference, but it was disappointingly dull.

Detroit voted 95% to 5% against Trump.

on Fox

President Trump has issued a statement reacting to news outlets, including Fox News, projecting that Joe Biden is the next president. "We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over," he says. "Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media," he said. “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access," he says. “So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands," he says.

BFM meanwhile are probably saying the same but also asking "are they actually lies, though?"

 

[rubbershoes]

Oh rubbershoes. I feel like you've let us all down.

Seems it wasn't GC. Don't know what it was

 

[dessiato]

Is Trump the first president to refuse to concede in this manner?

France24 had a reporter in Washington fact checking

 

[Ax^]

haha

certainly the first to do it crying and whilst throwing a six iron into a water feature

 

[rubbershoes]

Fox are saying Trump should be careful with his language and stop being so inflammatory

 

[mauvais]

It's gold.

Some fat nerd of an election observer is recounting how it took him 40 minutes to produce his ID and then they let him in. Then he went on about how he's not allowed to take photos or videos in the polling station

i think its great. There's a guy on now with his mask hanging off his left ear talking about the different kinds of pens he thinks people had used on the ballots he saw when he was poll watching for trump, how some of the pens must have been quite thick and some not so much.

 

[belboid]

Giuliani getting random bods on stager to complain they weren't allowed to use their phones when acting as poll watchers. I think that is pretty much a definition of 'got nothing'

 

[agricola]

the pen can be of varying sizes, shapes and colors so may be equal to or greater than a sword

 

[killer b]

ah, i turned off while Gulliani was speaking, these guys sound great.

some of the workers were doing their jobs too quickly as well! Its terrible

 

[Sue]

I liked that he couldn't see but some of the ballot papers looked like they were all written in the same hand.

 

[a_chap]

So, I'm currently taking an on-line course and the tutor is in Cincinatti.

Suddenly we could all hear cheering in the background and he says "I think we just had an election result". The class in now on a ten minute recess

 

[belboid]

She felt insidious fraud was going on!

If it had been a two hour YouTube video full of wild conspiracy rather than real life he might have watched more carefully.

 

[JTG]

From what I can make out, every major downtown across the US has gone absolutely mental

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Glory to the anti-fascist popular front that smashed the barbarian Trump regime!

Next task - down with Biden and the neo-liberal DNC clique! Long live Uncle Bernie, The Squad and the US proletariat!

 

[marty21]

I don't see Trump disappearing , I think he will run in 2024, the Republicans won't touch him, he'll run as an independent and will dilute the vote of the Republican candidate , ushering in Kamala Harris as president.
