Thanks for your insightful input. :rolleyes:

As for the joke being on me. well if you'd lost a loved one to Covid you might feel differently....... :td:

You see the difference is now you think that I think it's funny to lose someone because of Covid. Totally missing the point and my point still stands.

I found it funny that the Trump lawyers' press conference was (mis?)booked into outside space at Four Seasons Total Landscaping aka its car park and not the better known Four Seasons Hotel. :D

Over 75 million have faith in him; more votes tha anyone else has ever received for US President.

Granted its mostly faith that he isn't Donald Trump unless the Don is a master of disguise...
(as an aside does anyone the cartoon 'Undercover Elephant '?

It was a private investigator elephant who was a master of disguise, the criminals was amazed when he revealed his tiny mask disguise at the end of each episode. It was the same joke every week but it was brilliant :D )

But are they real votes that is the question the courts will have to ponder.

“I have been sponsored by the Daily Telegraph just like any other journalist,”

"sponsored" ≠ "paid" or "expensed"... ;)

Don't think the Torygraph will be happy if Nigel's putting that £10k Trump bet on expenses...

Some optimism on Biden's British support
Quote:

While he emphasises his Irish heritage, because that always plays well in American politics, that was his mother's side of the family. His father's side hailed from Sussex...

Look back far enough into his record in US politics and the record shows that in 1982 the young Senator Biden was one of the strongest US supporters of the UK over the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, while President Reagan and his Secretary of State Alexander Haig at first stayed neutral.

Mr Biden was the sponsor of a Senate resolution demanding that Washington declare itself to be on Britain's side. In a TV interview at the time, he said: "My resolution calls for the US to state whose side we are on - the British side."

Involving the courts is part of the election system and thus part of the democratic process,that's nothing to do with the "bible of papa" it's how it's done in the USA [ remember hanging chads] in the 2000 election.

There weren't 4 million hanging chads...

I somehow doubt this given the assets he has in the US. Looks like the Express is disowning Trump now.

Donald Trump labelled a 'flight risk' amid fears he could FLEE US 'to escape prosecution'

Incumbent President Donald Trump is a "flight risk" who could escape the country, according to a leading expert at Yale University. Timothy Snyder, professor of history at Yale University, told Channel 4 News Mr Trump owes billions of dollars in financial debt and faces multiple "serious investigations". He suggested that anyone looking at Donald Trump from the outside "would all agree he is a flight risk"...

Mr Frei [of Channel 4 News] responded: "So you are saying, he might take flight, that he might get on one of his plans and leave?"

Mr Synder continued: "If we were looking at a third country, not America, and we saw a guy with huge debts, with talent he is looking to sell, who is facing criminal prosecutions, we would all agree he is a flight risk.

"I think it's important to look at this man for what he is. I don't know what he is going to do, but he is certainly a flight risk, he raised the possibility himself."

Back in October, then-President Trump told a campaign rally in Georgia that if he loses the election: "Maybe I'll have to leave the country, I don’t know."

He'd resign first then Pence will pardon him if that's the case.
