Iamgrey5: Election results have been certified by every single state in America and yes Biden won 306 electoral college votes with 7 million votes lead.
Let that sink in for a moment
Certifiying an election means the state already declared the winner of the election, so at this point bro, Trump is the media president hoping to stage a coup of some sort to remain president
Why do think it's Trump having the sleepless night over the election results while Biden continues to mind his own business ?  TBF, Trump is not the media president, he is still president till Jan 20th at 11:59am ET. And yes, he is still the president till Jan 20th even if he relocates to Mar-a-Lago this Christmas. |

Iamgrey5: Nothing will happen
Trump and his friends are only desperate because next week Monday deadline is fast approaching.
Tuesday is the last day that States will send the names of their electors to Congress except from California. California certified its election last week, so they will be sending the names of their electors, and the electors will vote on Monday. |

raumdeuter: Vermont should also take Texas to the supreme court and challenge the presidential election results there Lmao.. You get it, let all the other states sue TX and FL in challenging the validity of their election results. MAGA fans don't know that the TX AG is under FBI investigation for corruption, and is merely trying to win a pardon from Trump.  |

Fact: If Chelsea win tomorrow, they will gain the most points they have ever had in a UCL group stage - 16 points.
The last time Chelsea went through the group stage unbeaten was the 2014/15 season. |

PrideofLincoln2: PDPGuy, that's the only way to go to be financially successful in America. I am telling my girls to go that way. I only have two months to pay off my mortgage because wifey and I never refinanced once in 20 years of buying our home. I hate to owe especially when you have to pay with the stupid interest rate that only benefits the Banks. Congrats!! That’s a big achievement |

PrideofLincoln2: Whenever I use my CC, I never let it carry over. I pay it off at the end of the billing month because I am not paying any interest to anyone. Been doing that for over twenty years now and I can proudly say I do not owe a dime in CC bill. I hate to be used by these sharks calling themselves Banks or Financial lenders. I’m in the same boat - I ain’t owing a dime in CC debt |

PrideofLincoln2: That's why I asked the question. It's a very dicey situation but some things needs to be done because of the compounding interests on the student loans. I know 9f a young medical doctor still going through internship that told me he owes $150.000 in student loans. How do you pay that off with the compounding interests. Doctors, especially the specialists, can pay off their 6-figure loans within 10 years or less. The main issue concerns people who majored in architecture (and some low-paying majors) and had to rack up $50k in student loan debt because their public university unreasonably jacked up their tuition. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PDPGuy(op): 6:57pm On Dec 07, 2020 |
PrideofLincoln2: Is he going to do that by Executive order ?. Just wondering because that will be good news for a lot of young people still paying their student loans. Very interesting time indeed. Most likely But I’m not sure if he has such powers |

E no go well for Bielsa for putting our boys through this much punishment. Lampard should rest every single one of them against Krasnodar, they shouldn't even be in the squad.

AmazonTopaz: It has to. That is why Trump thinks he can use electors to overturn the will of the people and pressuring Gop governors and legislators.Because if it is truly a democratic system it would have been President Hillary Clinton and there would have never been a Donald Trump who has lost the popular vote twice. Right.. In place of the Electoral college, I’lll prefer what I call a “modified popular vote” system. In this system, the winner of the presidential election is the candidate that carries at least one-third of the states AND gains the most popular votes. This will ensure that the voices of the smallest states - in terms of population- and those of the most populous states are equally heard. |

Sports › Offside Rule May Be Amended by PDPGuy(op): 4:56pm On Dec 05, 2020 |
FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has thrown his weight behind Arsene Wenger’s planned reform of the offside laws.
SunSport revealed earlier this year how former Arsenal manager Wenger, now head of Fifa’s global development department, wants a radical change to stop 'marginal offsides'.
Under the Wenger plan, set to be on the table at the annual business meeting of the law-making body Ifab on December 16, an attacking player will be onside if any part of his body overlaps the last defender.
Infantino said: “The offside rule has evolved over the last 100 years.
Arsene and our head of refereeing, Pierluigi Collina, are debating if they can make it better and foster offensive football.
“The question is whether we should give more advantage to the attacking player, which is always how the rule has evolved.
“That would mean no more 'marginal offsides', as we are seeing with VAR, because the player would really have to be in front of the defender.
“I know that attackers and midfielders are very favourable to this, while goalkeepers and defenders have more worries.
“Ifab will be dealing with this later this month.”
Controversial decisions - such as the one to rule out Patrick Bamford's effort against Crystal Palace after he pointed where he wanted the ball - may no longer be scrubbed off. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13387009/huge-offside-overhaul-backed-fifa/amp/ |

“ The last remaining move to block the election would be the quixotic effort to vote down the electors in Congress.
This tactic has been tried — a handful of congressional Democrats in 2000, 2004 and 2016 objected to officially making both George W. Bush and Trump president. But the numbers were not enough to block the two men from taking office.” |

“ Trump and his allies have also raised the far-fetched notion that Republican state legislatures in those states could appoint a rival set of electors pledged to Trump.
But state Republican leaders have rejected that approach, and it would likely be futile in any case. According to federal law, both chambers of Congress would need to vote to accept a competing slate of electors. If they don’t, the electors appointed by the states’ governors — all pledged to Biden in these cases — must be used.” |

Jashub: I agree with you. But just one question : how long will it take for Trump's campaign team to open this up? Because from what I can see, there is less than 2weeks separating electoral disputes and the electoral college voting. Actually, the Trump team has 3 days left for any judicial decision to go in their favor. Well, scratch that. California just certified it’s election on Friday, giving Biden 55 EC votes. Counting the number of states that have certified their election results, Biden now has over 270 EC votes. So, for the first time in this electoral saga, Biden’s victory now has a legal status |
