EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
I may be wrong, but I don't think he has the actual power to do that
Of course he does. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and his supporters are better armed than Biden's

Sure, but that's not going to happen. America is an incredibly legalistic country, and he'll be drowning in lawsuits the moment he tried that. The President's powers are very carefully constrained - by designOf course he does. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and his supporters are better armed than Biden's
Don't postal ballots have to be mailed way beforehand? Why will counting be going on for weeks?
That’s all true, they talked a lot about avoiding tyranny and never having another king at the start, but if it really came to it, if, it would always come down to force and who has the overwhelming violence on their side wouldn’t it, I suppose this means the military, in that country as in most.Sure, but that's not going to happen.

Six former Democrat mayors in the 'Iron Range' (Minnesota to you and me) endorse Trump. One says 'Joe Biden has done nothing for the working class'.
Iron Range mayors pitch Trump with Pence
As the vice president spoke at the Clure Public Marine Terminal on Friday, six Iron Range mayors voiced their approval with a well-timed endorsement letter.www.duluthnewstribune.com
Thats done it for me, might only be a small little thing but it sums up the direction of the election campaign in my mind. Biden is going to tell everyone that Trump is so awful that they have to vote for him, just like HRC did, and people are gonna say how are you any better.
I've changed my vote in the poll by the way. I reckon Trump will win the popular vote.
This by the way is just the very definition of a stopped clock surprising everyone by telling the correct time.
He's got the Democratic pitch wrong and Joe Biden's age wrong - he's right that Biden should be taking a lot more shit for the 1994 crime bill, although simultaneously attacking Biden for being too tough on crime and too soft on crime would be a tricky maneuver even for Trump.
Although he does seem to be having a moderate amount of success campaigning as an incumbent with an "I'm going to go to DC and chuck those bum politicians out" message, so who knows.
But his age and race are beside the point. He's more or less the same age and race as Bernie Sanders. Lazy to point out that Biden is an old white man as if that were particularly significant. Agree that his connection to the crime bill is far more to the point. I'm not so sure how much purchase that has given how long ago it was, though. Surely the things he can be associated with from the Obama years are more relevant.He's not talking about Trump at all?
The point is that Biden is not what the vast majority of what those who want Trump out want.

Where I do think the Republicans and Trump have been successful from an aesthetics point of view at least is that they've sidelined all the old style Republicans from the Bush years and even characters like Romney and Marco Rubio etc, whereas Pelosi and all these 90s era democrats (and earlier) are still hanging around doesn't really offer much in the way of 'new politics' does it? It's like Boris fighting an election against Alistair Darling, Neil Kinnock, Claire Short and Gordon Brown.
Yes although the Tories in his cabinet are known from previous administrations, Michael Gove etc.Which in effect is what Johnson did - they wouldn't shut up the whole time!
So why is there such a disconnect between national polling — where Mr Biden enjoys a stable lead — and the perceptions of voters and those betting in the prediction markets?
One explanation is that a national lead does not equate to a victory in the electoral college. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 but still lost the race.
The same thing happened in 2000 when Al Gore lost to George W Bush.
Some pundits therefore prefer to focus instead on state-level polling averages that show Mr Biden has a narrower lead at this point in the race than Mrs Clinton had — especially in those states that helped propel Mr Trump to victory.
However, simply comparing state polling numbers in 2020 to those from 2016 can be misleading and might suggest the race is tighter than it really is — for two important reasons.
So, quite a clear picture of how this US election is going to pan out has already been painted it would seem.
Neither side is going to concede until the mail in votes are fully counted (whenever that will be) and even then, ballot harvesting and voter fraud will no doubt be claimed.
If Trump continues in the WH his entire second term will be fought through the courts by the Dems.
Just caught a headline stating Kamala Harris is now banging on about Russian interference
It’s going to get very messy.
So, Trump has now been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize:
Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination - what you need to know
For the second time the US president gets a nod for the coveted award - but we won't know if he wins for a year.www.bbc.co.uk
Doesn’t mean he’s going to win it, but there you go - an interesting development nonetheless.

For a nomination alone, the barrier to entry is low: all nominations from heads of state or politicians serving at a national level are accepted.
University professors, directors of foreign policy institutes, past recipients of a Nobel Prize and members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee are also among those deemed qualified to submit a nomination for the prize. The nominations require no invitation and as long they are entered before 1 February of the qualifying year, they will be accepted.
Ah yeah noticed it was a far right politician that's nominated him. Missed that in my quick skim.Sounds like the Norwegian bellend who nominated Trump would have nominated Anders Breivik if he thought he could get away with it.
He won't and it isn't.
Less than two months before the US election, President Donald Trump seems to have something to celebrate - a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.
