Nowadays, this is simply not possible.
I do think postal voting can add another dimension to fraud Dex, there are many reasons why votes could get mislaid, and not always intentionally.

I don't really care what politicians get up to in their own time, (within reason of course) but I can see how adultery would upset a woman and make him public enemy number one...


Have you ever watched him closely OGF,? On camera, there are body experts who have done this to him, I find it fascinating, you can tell a lot about a person by watching their body language, I don’t mean deep intimate stuff....

Definitely and we would never know, that’s my opinion.

Precisely. There will always be mishaps, but it is an entirely different matter to claim that these were not mishaps at all and that there was a deliberate conspiracy.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill

Pity Trump didn't practice what he preached... "The first duty of government is to ensure domestic tranquility and defend the life, property, and rights of its citizens."

https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...inal-violence/

He personally instigated armed insurrectionists to attack the Capitol. He is an excrescence on the American nation, and a madman, to boot. Even his own political party want rid of him and are contemplating using the 25th to do so. Waaay overdue, but of course it took the Republicans this long to grow a backbone.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill

I know very little, in fact nothing about what’s going on in America, only what I have read.

My question is......why hasn’t Mr Trump addressed these rioters.....and asked for peace and calm, to respect the vote and leave with dignity and respect, not just for himself, but for all of America.

Or does he want to go down in History?....be remembered for this, in the most undignified manner......just my thoughts.


Edit to add, people have died because of this, valuable human life has been lost.

Pauline, he did respond to the event, but it was weak and too late. He basically told everyone just to go home. The speech fell entirely to short by failing to condemn the rioters.

The good news is that as of late last night, the Federal Bureau of Investigation had posted on its website a request for information that would identify those who had stormed the capitol. Even better, Republicans are likewise working to identify those involved. No one is going to let this slide.

I thought the statements made by our allies in response to yeserday's events were excellent. This whole incident has me and others both angry and embarrassed. I hope my party is the most rigorous in going after these thugs.
