Nothing wrong with Trumps state of mind.

All ends up in the House of Representatives.

This is a long read but fascinating - it answers the question!

Not quite. Individual States can’t override the Constitution. Any unconstitutional change could be met with litigation.

Only the State’s Electors vote for the presidency. Electors who do not, are faithless electors. A July 2020 Supreme Court ruling said electors may only vote for the States popular vote, those that do not, can be fined or replaced.

I read that the other day. The election system in the US is crazy! I did like this quote;

Donald Trump may win or lose, but he will never concede.

No more than ours. but like the UK the silent majority that just want to get on with their lives get to speak.

So all those rioters and looters that are smashing up various cities in the name of BLM or Antifa or whatever, if they think what they're doing is going to make Jo public go out in their droves to vote for Biden may want to think again.

I’ve posted several YouTube vids in this thread of him losing his mental state and his shitty memory.

I’m shocked 😱 at the silence from Hugh on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden allegedly accepting millions of dollars from Russians with links to sex trafficking when Joe Biden was Vice President during Obama’s presidency, nothing improper about this at all. :rolleyes:

Sorry, been away on a break for 4 days/3 nights with my wife, daughter and grandson at Conwy/Anglesey, and spent very little time on Social Media...

All the allegations against Biden’s son have proven to be unproven - even the latest Republican witch-hunt couldn’t find anything illegal...

The 87-page report called the younger Biden's role at a company suspected of corruption "awkward" and "problematic" at a time when the US was trying to help clean up corruption in Ukraine.

However, the report found little additional information that had not already been publicly revealed in news reports and testimony to the impeachment committee.

Mr Trump has claimed that Mr Biden meddled in Ukraine to help his son's business interests, but lawmakers found no evidence of this.
I wonder if the Trump children/organisation have ever benefited from Trump being President.

Millions of Americans have benefitted from him being president.

That scenario doesn’t consider that Governors (mainly Republican) may endorse separate results from state legislatures (slightly more democrat). It’s not about who won a state - the process is clear - it’s about where who wins a state is disputed.

I like it, using Trump terminology when the shoe is on the other foot.

That said, nothing was unproven. Even Sleepy Joe, when he was asked about earlier this week became very unhinged and shouting at reporters, when asked about the conflict of interest.



I would suspect every president there has ever been and their children have benefited from the parents presidency. Either when they were in office or out. Your point is moot.

Except you are using the fact they do to attack Biden and his son, but saying it doesn’t matter for Trump and his children.

What's wrong with a mother giving birth to a child nine months after conception? Trump seems to have an issue with it :confused:

Except nothing. Have Trumps children received millions from Russians linked to sex trafficking?

Trumps children are benefiting from their own branded businesses transferred to them during their father’s presidency. Wtf is wrong with this huh?

Your point is still absolutely moot.

This happened over two years ago, and it was cleared up, Trump misspoke and had actually meant to say “torn” instead of “born”, he was referring to late term abortions where fully developed fetus, is ripped from womb at 9 months, causing pain in the baby being allowed for non-medical reason in some States.

Quote:

The report notes that “records on file with the Committees” don’t confirm, or refute, the allegations in the individual reports. Nor do the records nail down that the money sent by Biden was going to people definitively involved in the sex trade.

"However, they do confirm that Hunter Biden sent thousands of dollars to individuals who have either: 1) been involved in transactions consistent with possible human trafficking; 2) an association with the adult entertainment industry; or 3) potential association with prostitution,” the report reads.
Hard to imagine someone would be involved in paying large amounts of money to individuals involved in the adult entertainment industry - well, at least he hasn’t had to pay her legal fees...

It's strange that the Donald will accept the election result if he wins, but not if he loses....

The buffoon needs to say now whether he accepts the process or not. Otherwise the US could end up being the World's biggest ̶de̶m̶o̶c̶r̶a̶c̶y̶ dictatorship.
