    A video clip showing how the truth in politics is easy to manipulate if you have access to enough media. 70 million Americans sucked and some even continue to suck up Trumps nonsense. Only a handful of Republicans have the integrity to call this dangerous damaging charlatan out.

    So Texas is suing 4 states in the Supreme Court to get their election results overturned. The following is an extract from their filing;

    "The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000. "

    They go on to say that the probability of winning all four states is therefore 1 in 10 to the power 60 (correct if the above is true and the states are uncorrelated). They have an expert witness to support this.

    @The RDBD....can you think of any conceivable way this could be correct?

    For no reason whatsoever, let me post the electoral maps of the 1928 and 1932 presidential elections...

    And for good measure, let's look at the popular vote

    1928
    Herbert Hoover: 21.4m
    Al Smith: 15m

    1932
    Herbert Hoover: 15.7m
    Franklin D Roosevelt: 22.8m

    So there we have it: FDR is the biggest crook in US Presidential history...

    They say Trumpy has Republicans filling his "political" attempts with dollar lolly while he deposits same dollar lolly into his pockets. Roll up the mugs!!!!

    Good ol' Lexei, getting even more left wing as he gets older.

    Very funny man, but we already have too many comedians in politics. Probably fair comment about Watson though.

    I take it this counts as "holding the card"?

    It hasn't become serious for Johnson, though. He can **** this up completely and he'll still be fine.

    It'll become serious when voters start to suffer, and suffer in a way that won't be forgotten in 4 years. The drawback is that we have to suffer for his incompetence and blind ambition.

    And he won't. He'll have done his job and the Conservatives will blame it on him and still get re-elected.
    UKIP/Farage will say that it wasn't a proper Brexit and it's all ****ed up because people weren't True Believers in the Holy Brexit.
    People will somehow blame remainers and it'll carry on as is.
