Actually I think that Russia meddled by disinformation etc, not by messing with the votes cast.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Do I need to change the thread title again?  I mean the actual election result is a foregone conclusion at this point - Biden won.

Whether Trump can manage to steal a second term at this point has nothing to do with the ballotbox.

Tucker Carlson begins to move the goalposts:

QuoteTucker Carlson Says There's Not Enough Fraud to Change Election Results: 'We Should Be Honest'
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Senate still needs to be sorted out, though Tillis officially has won.

Is he contradicting anything he had said before? Honest question. I don't watch as much Tucker as you guys do.

No clue, as I don't watch him as much as you do. He is definitely contradicting the party line though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop.

Don't see how he's moving the goal posts, then.

Lindsey Graham: "Mitch McConnell and I need to come up with an oversight of mail in balloting. If we don't do something about voting by mail, we're going to lose the ability to elect a Republican in this country."

I'm still flabbergasted people will say this kind of stuff out loud.  :wacko:

I don't appreciate Graham's scare mongering here. The Republicans have just demonstrated they can do well in a high turnout election. Can we stop the voter suppression nonsense now?

I feel that would lead to riots in the streets.
