My wife was supposed to fly to Sydney today to meet with her. Would have had to depart Avalon airport at like 6am this morning.

Wasn't unhappy to see it get cancelled

It's not contested though.

The current GOP Governor of Georgia says it wasn't stolen.

The only person saying it was stolen is Trump.

he lost fair and square.

Same as he won 2016 fair and square and only idiots/partisan dolts believe the Democrat spin about Russian "interference" in any way impacting the result.

The difference between you and I, is I believe dodgy shit goes on in all US elections, and this is from both sides of the isle. There’s way to much at stake for anyone to play clean.

This is one of my favourites from JBL…
“Lyndon Johnson said: ‘If I can get 200 more votes, I’ve got it won.’

“Parr said to me in Spanish: ‘We need to win this election. I want you to add those 200 votes.’ I had already turned in my poll and tally sheets to Givens Parr, George’s brother.

“I told Parr in Spanish: ‘I don’t give a damn if Johnson wins.’”

“Parr then said: ‘Well, for sure you’re going to certify what we do.”

AP WAS THERE: Uncovering Lyndon B Johnson's stolen election

In 1977, Associated Press reporter James W. Mangan had an exclusive interview with a South Texas election judge who detailed certifying false votes for Lyndon B. Johnson nearly three decades earlier. The story made headlines across the country. Johnson had won by an 87-vote margin in the 1948...

It's not a crime to think or say the election was stolen - but the exerting pressure bit most certainly is.

The irony of Rudy Giuliani being done on RICO is quite something too.

Hard to believe he wrapped up the Five Families in NYC using the self same laws.

What would be more ironic is if he cuts a deal with the prosecutors and rolls over on trump.

He’s suing trump for unpaid legal fees I believe.

I'm sorry but I really, really don't consider Joe Biden some kind of 'career operator' in terms of being corrupt or dodgy.

And before I continue, I want to stress at the outset so it's not weaponised against me; I'm not a big Joe Biden fan. I think he's far from a great President.

That said, I generally think that all the accusations of corruption and dodginess are the sole doings of Hunter, who does seem like a pretty s**t human who has battled addiction (which is a legitimate disease tbf). Hunter is a known liar, scammer, and philanderer. So when Hunter is texting people saying s**t like "hey I'm with the big guy and we want money", my inclination is to assume that Hunter is lying.

Until I see any independent and credible evidence that Joe Biden has been directly involved (instead of all such evidence to-date being through the filter of Hunter Biden), to me Joe remains a largely inoffensive, if not utterly boring and uninspiring, career centrist Democrat.

Considering the racist shit he's pulled over his career i wouldn't describe him as "largely inoffensive". Without Biden the mass incarceration of black men in the US over the last 30 years wouldn't have happened.

He also co-authored the Omnibus Counterterrorism act a couple of months before Oklahoma.

Laughable to pin that solely on Biden.

Mrs Chadwiko avoided one of the more pompous yet desperately stupid people of contemporary politics.

One of them will for sure.

Laughable to pin that solely on Biden.

He played a significant role in it.

He authored the bill that mandated three strikes penalties, truth in sentencing and the removal of access to college education for inmates which on reflection is probably one of the worst aspects of it because it significantly undermines the concept of rehabilitation.

As a result plenty of new prisons were built, many eventually privately owned, during a time when the crime rate had started to drop and has dropped since.

And honestly the rise of video games and the end of leaded petrol probably did more to lower the crime rate than Biden's Bill even tho it was claimed the bill was responsible for it.

Laughable to blame the guy that put his name to the legislation lololol.

"Never seen this": Analyst stunned at sources of Jared Kushner funds

"Unprecedented": Just 1% of investments in Kushner's fund came from sources in the United States.

www.salon.com

Economic analyst Steven Rattner on Monday shared a pie chart showing that all but 1% of the $3 billion in investments in former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner's private equity firm Affinity Partners came from foreign sources after he "spent much of his White House tenure cozying up" to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman. The Saudis invested $2 billion in Kushner's fund while the United Arab Emirates and Qatar each added another $200 million. About $625 million came from other non-U.S. sources while only $31 million came from sources inside the U.S. Rattner told MSNBC that he's "never seen this" in 40 years in the business.

Completely true, but one of them cops far more heat than the (arguably significantly worse) other.

Nah, this is just recency bias.

Everything Hunter gets now was dished out to Kushner by the WOKE LIBERAL MEDIA lolololololololol.

Same with Don Jnr.

They're all corrupt scum.

For the sake of the rest of the world they all need to go to jail.
America is fast heading to an empire of dirt because of corruption.

Worst part of it we’ve got sycophants in Australia who want to cozy up to this blackmail empire.

That pretty much sums up American politics, generational representation in a country that prides itself on getting rid of a monarchy.

The Republicans are trying to make it a political trial, but it isn't.

The charges aren't ... ahem ... trumped up bullshit.
