There's nothing left about Biden. He's a centre right politician with centre right policies.

Fox news isn't a news channel. It's a conduit for the beliefs of Rupert. It contains zero fact. Full of bought and paid shysters and charlatans. I would hope that every single source of news had opposing views to fox, unless by coincidence.

Do you watch American news channels? The country is pretty much split 50/50, do you see the media giving a fair assessment and representing both sides? Not that I’m defending fox but they were the only channel that said trump had a chance. CNN used to be my channel but I gave up as they became as much if not more one sided than fox.

I’ll take it a step further, I don’t agree with your fox assessment. I bounce around the channels to try to get balance and perspective, and have done so for the last couple of days in particular to get election perspective. Fox gives some shit and some honesty, just like the majority of the networks, just with a republican perspective. It’s not zero fact like you say. Fox has their idiots like all the other channels, I’d compare Tucker Carlson to the pathetic Don Lemon in a heartbeat for example, both extreme to their side.

Their election coverage has always been fairly decent, this time no different. It's their general news coverage in the four years that aren't election time that is the issue. Climate change denying paid for con artists. Murdoch's given the message now though, Trump no longer has his support, watch on as all his titles stab him in the back and pretend they never supported him in the first place. Biden isn't a threat to them anyway, a centre right conservative in the mould of Osbourne or May in this country.

Wouldn't expect anything less from the baby president.  What does make me laugh though, is Biden saying that the US political system is the envy of the world. What world is this? It's fucking awful.

Are you sure he’s not boasting corruption at its finest?

I have to say I think the whole debacle of this election was worth it for the big press conference by Rudy Guiliani at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping company, instead of the Four Seasons Hotel, in between a porn book store & a crematorium. The creators of Veep couldn’t have made something funnier. Whoever took the booking is a legend.

Very apt ending for that regime, in the gutter where they all came from. The baby president is absolutely losing it.

Anyone else see this   

 

It's impressive gaslighting from the charlatan like. The republican party concerned about election fraud? Fantastic. I'm only 20 minutes in, but none of what he has described so far is electoral fraud. He has great showmanship, the sort that would convince a public jury, but that's not how these things work with electoral fraud. He knows it to, so he must have some other angle. Perhaps it's just sowing doubt in the public to try and get some leverage before January comes and goes and Trump is in the courts. Who knows. The man's an utter sleaze like.

Never trust a man who's leaking. I mean, he has many other reasons not to be trusted, but that was disgusting.

Absolute clusterfuck this and potentialy a proper test of the constitution so many Americans cling onto.
Supposeldy the DC cops have asked for the National Guard to assist but this request has been denied by Trump's stooge.

Interested to see if the Delta Force end up being called in, or indeed if they actually 'can be' if the sitting president doesn't order it

Looks like national guard and state troopers have got the nod now. What an embarrassment. Surely Trump will finally be isolated from some of his Republican sympathisers after this. 

Not the ones stationed in DC
The Virginian ones are being sent in on the orders of the Democratic Governor.
