Haha, English right wing playbook: Crow about Trump when it suits you, when he is on top after winning an election. When he gets his ass kicked, you are "nothing to do with America". Haha. This election was fine, it was totally secure and safe, the only major issue was voter suppression perpetrated by Republicans. The problem about this election for the right, is that Trump got owned. Wrong I very much doubt that you will find any post from me where I “crowed” about Trump because none exist, so fake news there Mainey, as I have previously said before, most of my posts on this thread are to do with certain posters insistence on criticising those that don’t agree with their own view, in some cases using unnecessarily offensive language. I think the tone of your recent replies to W12 supports what I am trying to say. Totally uncalled for language imo Edited by Spiderman (21 Nov 2020 8.11am) Edited by Spiderman (21 Nov 2020 9.29am)

Of course there are regional variations everywhere but when they’re not wrestling or dancing with each other Cornish people have more cultural similarities with Newcastle than with Rennes. Thanks. You actually confirm my point. Of course the Cornish share more culture with Newcastle than Rennes and even more than with Moscow. The point is that there is no overarching culture which binds people just because of the colour of their skin. So no "white" culture.

As is the overarching culture of Australia, except of course the Aboriginal population who have a Black culture. When these cultures come together it’s called diversity, because they’re different. Not better or worse, different.

Any overarching culture is one which is colour blind. It is simply not a factor. Experience is the primary determinant. Having a different skin colour can lead to a different experience, at least at the moment, but not necessarily. We really need to stop using language that divides.

Trump was winning comfortably in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin before the "pause". They all stopped counting at the same time and restarted with a huge swing to Biden. All close/swing states. It stinks and I actually don't think it matter too much now the outcome of the election which may never be resolved. Trust in any democratic process and the media is gone, the democrats are insane and the US is heading for civil war. I'm just glad the republicans have most of the guns and Trump has replaced most of his generals. This quite literally didn't happen. Try not to get dragged into such contrived fiction. In several states mail in ballots were counted after (or during and after) due to state rules. Therefore, Trump wasn't ever comfortably winning at all. Realistically this election was not even that close. If you really think a whole much of swing states paused and restarted again in order to swing to a different candidate (what a discrete plan!), then you're the one who should be pausing - to take stock of your own outlook!

We are now almost three weeks from when the vote was held. If Trump has a smoking gun it's time for him to produce it. So far I have seen nothing like any evidence to back up his claims. Surely if he had any real evidence he would release it to the public as well as to the courts. His supporters keep saying he is gathering it that suggests he doesn't have any and is hoping some will emerge. Put up or shut up Mr President.

His supporters keep saying he is gathering it that suggests he doesn't have any and is hoping some will emerge. Put up or shut up Mr President. We may never know what his motivation is but from all the available evidence it cannot be that he really expects to overturn the result. Why so many of his close associates are sticking by him also remains a mystery. It is though extremely damaging to the USA and very sad to see. I am in daily contact with an old friend there who is convinced that there is a huge conspiracy which is about to be revealed and I am sure that nothing will ever change that view. It seems that almost half the people there are on board with such an opinion and that doesn't bode well. He seems to be destroying any chance of a run in 2024 and probably splitting the GOP in two. I am only speculating but it could be that his hint of going abroad as soon as this is over will be what actually happens. There seems to be solid evidence for the idea that indictments will swiftly follow the removal of his immunity and that he fears jail. Those suggestions have been around for years. Maybe he is actually just putting up a smokescreen right now. Who would take him?

What is diversity? I refuse to believe you don't know what it means. That there is diversity in society is blindingly obvious but it doesn't though have anything at all to do with the matter under review. I think you are barking not just up the wrong tree but one that's in another forest. In case you have forgotten that matter it is whether there is such a "thing" as a "white" or a "black" culture. As I believe I have demonstrated there isn't. We have diverse cultures which are blind to skin colour.
