Come on @Callumity, as you know full well he was lost without us (I can hear the violins as I type) and now he’s been in the dressing-up closet. He is (and always has been) his own idiot. He just never realised it .
Yeh right or joined again perhaps, for a new guy your shit hot around a newly joined forum you'll find this donkey ain't so easy to pin a tail on. Enough said I'll leave this one well alone for now.
The thread is called Uncle Sam’s Scorecard, posters are just calling the “plays” as they see them. Pretty sure we all enjoy the back and forth.
I’ve thought the game was over several times, but Trump keeps prolonging it like a soccer game with “injury time” that none of us Yanks understand.
WaPo link...You think he'd realise he's lost when: Televangelist Pat Robertson, one of President Trump’s staunchest backers, on Monday described Trump as “very erratic,” called on him to accept that President-elect Joe Biden won and said the Republican should not consider running again in 2024. The comments marked a sharp turnaround for Robertson, who recently voiced support for Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud and declared before the election that God had told him Trump was going to win. “I think it’s a sideshow,” Robertson said Monday on his television show, “The 700 Club,” when asked whether he thinks Trump should run again in 2024. “I think it would be a mistake. My money would be on [former United Nations ambassador] Nikki Haley; I think she’d make a tremendous candidate for the Republican Party.”...
In an hour-long phone call on Saturday, Donald Trump pressed Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to overturn Joe Biden’s victory there in the election the president refuses to concede. The Washington Post obtained a tape of the “extraordinary hour-long call”, which Trump acknowledged on Twitter. Amid widespread outrage including calls for a second impeachment, Bob Bauer, a senior Biden adviser, said: “We now have irrefutable proof of a president pressuring and threatening an official of his own party to get him to rescind a state’s lawful, certified vote count and fabricate another in its place.” The Post published the full call. “The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” Trump said. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.” Raffensperger is a Republican who has become a bête noire among Trump supporters for repeatedly saying Biden’s win in his state was fair. In one of a number of parries, he said: “Well, Mr President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong.” Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” He also insisted: “There’s no way I lost Georgia. There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”
Taken from the wikipedia article on 1984. George Orwell. The hope of revolution[edit] The protagonist Winston Smith's internal conflicts form a recurring theme in the novel: his hope for an eventual uprising by the proles; and his understanding that they would, or could, not. In Winston's words, "proles remained human", i.e., they preserved the essence of life: human emotions, which Party members must avoid; as well as the English language (Oldspeak). Winston writes in his diary "If there is hope, it lies in the proles." This view is challenged by O'Brien, who claims the proles would never revolt because they have no need to do so, so long as they are kept well-fed and distracted. The novel alludes to the unwillingness or inability of the proles to organize politically, noting that the Thought Police will attempt to mark down any prole suspected of independent thought to be killed, further decreasing the possibility of revolution. None of the characters suggest the Party could collapse internally; the chance of internal collapse is already very small, despite being non-zero, due to the absolute control it exerts over the lives and emotions of its members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proles_(Nineteen_Eighty-Four) This to me is a indicator of how far Right politics has come. We have long given up any hope of a prole up rising. It fears us to even think about standing up and shouting " I disagree". Not fear of physical death, but tribal death. So we are here with no hope of revolution and now not even a hope of disagreement.watching these aholes march through the system like a bull in a china shop. Reasons not to kick up a fuss. 1. Too much hassle 2. Not my fight. Im not a prole Im party, 3. Not interested. 4. Not convinced. 5. Too Busy. 6. Too distracted. 7. Too unbelievable. "Shirley you exaggerate" I asked myself and a few others, recently, "What would you leave your home and travel 1 hundred miles to demonstrate against?" Would I do it if. There was an armed conflict in the Falklands? They made abortion illegal? Continued to bomb Syria? Enacted a Fascist take over in America? EDIT. USA's President commits another Felony Worryingly I found it would take a lot more than I would care to admit, to get me off my arze.
