Not what I have seen.
Votes being mailed to ppl who didn't want them and then being picked up.
Lack of verification is a big problem, though I don't think it would have changed the election results.

Personally, I think the Australian system is safer. 8)

Trump specifically gave a speech telling folks not to do anything crazy or violent. People were angry because we witnessed the stealing of an election and fraud being perpetrated against a sacred rite in our country: that of electing our president. When they stole the election, it was war. And some folks reacted in anger which is understandable, even if unacceptable.


AFTER he encouraged them to protest.
You really need to do more research.

IMO, Trump had a brain fart on the 6th because he is an egomaniac and couldn't control himself.
His bout with COVID may have scrambled his brain.
I wish he would leave the political arena and make room for new blood.

That is simply your OPINION.
In MY opinion, Trump acted disgracefully.
Pence showed integrity by ignoring Trump's stupidity/insanity.


Nah, Trump's addled brain goes back to early childhood, long before he had Covid. His niece mentioned how as a child, he had thrown rocks at a neighbor's baby from his own yard. When his brother wanted to play with the blocks little Donny had, Donny glued them all together, rendering them useless for his brother (who later died of alcoholism). In college, he had to be restrained from throwing another student out a window, when they were several stories up.

All I know is, here in Washington state, we have a first rate system with mail-in-ballots. I am rather skeptical about the claims of how unreliable voting by mail is.

Just because a ballot gets mailed out, doesn't mean it will be accepted and counted when returned. There is a validation process involved in counting votes, and accusations of invalid voting are taken seriously and investigated.

Thankfully, Biden only sniffs girls' hair, talks about cockroaches on his lap, and touches ppl inappropriately. :mrgreen:

At least he's never tried to intentionally hurt someone else like Trump.

Biden OKed Russia to invade Ukraine and indicated Ammmeria wouldn't step in if it was only a "limited invasion".
Does that qualify as "hurting ppl"? :chin:

I believe this is what is being referred to.
How Big of a Mistake Did Biden Just Make on Ukraine?
Quote:
Did President Joe Biden just tell Russian President Vladimir Putin that it might be OK to launch a “minor incursion” into Ukraine?

Toward the end of his nearly two-hour news conference late Wednesday afternoon, Biden was asked why sanctioning Putin for invading Ukraine would work, given that previous sanctions haven’t had much effect on Russian behavior.

At first, Biden gave a by-the-book response. “Because he’s never seen sanctions like the one I’ve promised,” he replied. “Russia will be held accountable if it invades.”

But then, Biden said that precisely how Putin will be held accountable “depends on what he does.” If he mounts “a minor incursion,” Biden said, “there are differences within NATO about what countries are willing to do.” If it’s “a major invasion,” there will be “severe costs” and “significant harm” for “Russia and the Russian economy.”

So was Biden saying Russia might not incur severe costs and significant harm, if Putin mounts merely a “minor incursion”? And what is a minor incursion? Just another salami slice of eastern Ukraine, beyond Russia’s 2014 incursion into Donbas province and its annexation of Crimea? Just a helicopter landing in the capital? Just a few airstrikes?

As major news outlets sent push alerts with Biden’s comments, White House press secretary Jen Psaki rushed to the rescue with a clarifying statement an hour after the news conference ended:

“President Biden has been clear with the Russian President: If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that’s a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our Allies.”

Good work, but as the entire world already noticed, that’s not what Biden said at all. Or it is what he said at one point during the news conference, but not at another point.

Obviously, though, this is hardly a minor incursion, but rather an attempt to annex the whole country.

People with a political leaning are more sympathetic to that leaning.

'There are no minor incursions': Ukrainian president rebukes Biden over remarks on Russian invasion

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Ukraine's president pushed back Thursday on President Joe Biden's suggestion that a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine might not merit a strong international response.

"We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a tweet Thursday morning. "Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. I say this as the President of a great power."

Zelenskyy's comment was a remarkable retort from a close U.S. ally that has received millions of dollars in military assistance. 

During a news conference Wednesday, Biden said the U.S. would hold Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable if Russia invades Ukraine but suggested the consequences would depend on the extent of Russia's aggression toward its neighbor.
