I still think the Washington Post has a bit more reputation, style and respectability than just of all the far-right "Twitchy.com"?

If Trump calls something fake news it is usually him who makes up the bulls. .

No one should fall for this. If Trump tells another lie, everyone should ignore it. No waste of time to correct him, and as a side effect his followers are like "oh when he says it it must be somehow true".
BULL! LIAR!

SH!t I fell for it, again

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world. Bezos is a diehard fan of Donald Trump and would never do anything to hurt his reputation.

Joe Biden Resurrects False College Claim That Helped Ruin His 1988 Presidential Run

Joe Biden is not the first person in his family to attend college. But he has a lengthy history of claiming otherwise, no matter how much the lie gets him in trouble.
Even after having famously admitted exactly 33 years ago to the day that he had family who had gone to college before him, Biden once again made the false claim at a CNN Town Hall on Thursday night.
Biden enthusiast Charlotte Alter, a national correspondent at Time magazine, tweeted out his line, apparently unaware of its role in Biden’s 1987 presidential campaign collapse:

Hope they get the person or persons who have done this

Remove him through the election-is the only way to do it.

A package containing the poison ricin and addressed to President Donald Trump was intercepted by law enforcement earlier this week, according to two law enforcement officials.

Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin. All mail for the White House is sorted and screened at an offsite facility before reaching the White House.
The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the matter.

Mitt Romney, a Republican senator who is a rarity in his party because he occasionally criticises the president, tweeted on Wednesday: "Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus.
"Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable."

Not fully correct, Mr. Romney: with Donald, you have Belarus anyway, under any circumstance.

Thats what happens when psychiatric patients like psychopaths and people with narcissistic personality disorder come to ransl and powers. Then they are not just ill anymore, but dangerous and a threat to the common public. Most autocratic tyrants in history and in the present, are like this.

Autocratic - relating to a ruler who has absolute power.

When, where and how? Please explain how you statement relates to President Trump. Give some examples please.

Trump came to power and remains in office by democratic means. What are you talking about?

Are you sure about the latter one ? I would claim he has already considerably weakened the democracy in his country. Alone, if serious or not, that he again told reporters that hey may not leave his office even if he looses (and if the election would be fair, the result is already clear , with other words, we do not need an election at all) and this has no consequences at all...

What would happen if Obama had said that 2012 ?

You can call or label Trump anything but not that he is in love for democracy.

It doesn't matter what Trump or anyone else says. What matters is what will happen. If the election is decided on Nov. 3rd or later by the Supreme Court whoever is declared the winner and is inaugurated on Jan. 20th will be the President. All of the power and authority will be given to that person, Trump or Biden. If Trump loses he can sit at the Resolute desk in his boxer shorts and eat Big Macks with the door locked. But he won't be President.

Or tries to have that, implies he has, claims to have, wants to have, breaks the rules to get it, craves to get it.
There is no difference between Trump and Lukashenko. The only difference is still in the rulesets they are embedded in that tame them more or less and decreasingly so (US)- or not at all already now (Belarus). But by character and posture and willingness to play foul, they are not different at all.

Eyes wide shut you have.

Most of the arguement I think stems from how some States currently send and process mail in ballots. Trump says there is 'widespread' fraud. Certain States say they have not found any 'significant' fraud. Either way it is going to compel each State to really tighten up the process. Because it would be a major embarrassment if they botch this and are found out.

Also, contrary to what some may think, in my country a citizen has a RIGHT to LEGALLY contest the count. In fact in some cases they are even invited to do so.

“the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.” Any such objection must be presented in writing and must be signed by at least one Senator and Representative. Furthermore, the objection “shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof.”

Unlike Lukashenko, Germany and Belarus we are a free society and can object to the count without fear of being, purged, poisoned, shot, sent to gulag or concentration camp just because the uneducated mob says so.
