You are a Kiwi. I'm a Skip. Our judges are non-political and appointed by other judges based on their special skills in secret judge's business. Harvard Law states that 90% of USA judges are voted in, or political appointees appointed by a voted in political party.

That's the big chatter going on down here. Murdoch's right wing press and TV in Australia, threw Trump under a bus a couple days before Murdoch did the same with Fox News in the USA. . It would seem that Murdoch needs to re-invent his world view position to regain lost middle of the road sponsorship. His pro-Trump talking heads are very expensive and Trump has gone.

The return of the neocons under Biden will not be difficult to discern.
Some of those who opposed W and Cheney may have to grin and bear it. Warmongers are back in town.

Trump knows there's a chance he'll go to jail when he loses the protection of the presidency. That and his childish lust for power are why he makes these fake allegations about the election. He's lied his way through his whole life, and he thinks he can do it again here. He's wrong.
America isn't a sucker, and Trump has been rejected. It's all over but the crying. Oh wait, the crying has been going on for a few days now. |

As a Canadian I have often been bemused by the utterly bizarre American Electoral College system way of choosing the President and since 2000 you guys have had two elections in which the guy with fewer votes won. (In one case millions fewer votes.) And yes I know it also happened in the 1876 election. And I wondered why you guys were not at least trying to do something about it. Well it looks like I simply had not done my research.
There is something called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact accepted by 15 states and the District of Columbia which when the number of states who accept it reach 270 electoral votes, (They now have 196), would require that state electors to support the candidate who got the most votes in the election. In effect sidelining the Electoral College and substituting direct popular voting for President. Good!! See https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...llege-n1247159 |

I am bemused. Is James Woods saying that the violence associated with the various and many protests this year coerced and threatened people from voting? Then why the record turnout? And of course Mr. Wood's ignores that the violence was far from one sided. The militarized response to some of the protests doesn't bother Mr. Woods it seems.
And of course note the demonization and othering in Mr. Woods comments. One half of the country is it seems NOT America, but has instead attacked America and forced it into submission. (By the way it seems to be actually more than half.) Thus Biden supporters are not Americans. So what are they Mr. Woods? Aliens? So in Mr. Woods eyes it seems that the "real" Americans are under attack by the other. And one half the country is not "America" and thus in Mr. Woods eyes does not count. Typical crap from a Stalinist style Propagandist. |

That's somewhat implausible and incoherent, but here's some clarity for you: Trump lost. This was a fair election that was done right.
Trump is mentally ill and proving it daily by refusing to accept reality. I sincerely hope he gets help. Maybe if he got over his God complex he'd stop mentally abusing his kids. |

Bubba can't attribute to James Woods, as James Woods likes underage girls. It sort of conflicts with Bubba claiming to fight paedophiles while quoting paedophiles as political allies.

Perhaps the nuttiest part is that the Q-nuts will believe their Great Leader is shrewd enough to plan all that, while we are sure he is a dumber than a bag of hammers!!
Get plenty of popcorn. This will be entertaining, right guys?? |

The Pelosi connection reminds me of when W stole one of his terms with help from the Diebold voting machines. The head of Ohio's Dem Party promised W that Ohio would vote for W. That guy just so happened to be Diebold's CEO. Ohio voted for W.
It was later shown that those Diebold machines could not only flip votes, but also make other machines flip votes when groups of machines were brought to the counting centers. |

SOme of the Trump Coup talk we are seeing all over the place..including here..strikes me as borderline conspiracy theory. Trump is not smart enough to oull that off.

Biden is Catholic too, you know. Maybe they'll team up and save America from the right wing nutters.
Seriously, though, why would SCOTUS touch Trump's steaming pile of election drama? There's no indication that anything was wrong with the vote in any state. Trump lost. Deal with it. |

Yes I was wrong (though not as usual) and like all honest people I admit it. I thought that Crowder had penned it for his Reddit.
