Who will be watching? First one kicks off in 24 hours time.
The Democrats have pulled Joe back from his campaign trail recently to get him prepared, so hopefully it will be a decent exchange.
Unfortunately they don’t seem to have great confidence as they have spent the last month looking for any dirt they can dig up so Joe can use if he gets stuck.
It’s no coincidence that this vote influencing Facebook algorithm story is being shamelessly and inaccurately made into a race issue on the eve of the debates. So transparent and disingenuous, it’s a shame politics has come to this on this level where black people are being used in this way to score political points. I would be furious if I was them, but it does seem a lot of people are not falling for this one and calling it out for what it is.
People finally seem to be getting wise to this political race baiting which is refreshing to see.
It’s also telling that in the week of the debate they try and paint Trump as a tax evasion offender. I think that’s what they wanted the tax returns to show, they seem to have got annoyed when it turns out his tax returns were fine in accordance to what his companies profits were - but decided to run with it anyway. Any news is good news in their mind as it’s another thing Joe can use when in a tricky spot.
But I hope the discussions remain political and doesn’t turn into some form of gossip peddling reality TV episode.
Although I think there should be some kind of drinking game involved if it does turn that way, how many times Biden completely loses his thread of thought and blurts out “I mean, think about it...” you have to take a shot.
I will be watching with great interest anyway.

You really do suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Sydrome. The fact that you cannot even identify fake news say's it all about you, not about him. It really comes to something when you think that 4 years of the Democrat behavour is not totally beyond the pale, or the behavour of RINOs, allowing their President to rally for them, raising massive support for them and then stabbing him in the back once they have won their seat. It sounds like a very black mark on your character that you think it is all acceptable behavour. Were you by any chance a staunch Remainer?

Rubbish again. At least on Trump appointed judge and other republican judges have thrown out many of the cases and they all said the cases had no merit or didn't even meet the basic legal requirement for filing (i.e. made to late)

Yes another one used the same excuse today, an Obama appointed judge.
So if you are aware that fraud CAN happen then you are expected to start a court case before you have actual evidence that the fraud is taking place, yes that makes perfect sense.
Ever watched a fraud case in the UK? It can take weeks, months and even years to gather sufficient evidence to make it an open & shut case.
But in the US biggest election in 100 years they were supposed use past indications of fraud and a crystal ball to stop the fraud now.
ps why do you think a republican appointed judge would be be in any more favour of Trump than any other?

It has now become completely obvious that it is no longer about lack of "Evidence", it as about any excuse not to let it be aired before the public. This can only go on so long, because a great deal of those public already know exactly what the evidence is, they have seen it for themselves. How any judge can turn a blind eye and using "obscure points of law" to ignore Election commissioners breaking both State and Federal laws is totally beyond my understanding of Justice.

MY point is that judges of all persuasion are calling bullshit on the cases presented to them.
Additionally the Trump team never claim fraud in their case as they know they have no evidence of fraud. They have evidence of fckups, honest mistakes, stupidity and "evidence" demonstrating that a lot of people have absolutely no clue how the process works.

If you really think that then you are totally uninformed. You should have listened to the Evidence presented in today's hearing. There was a great deal of it, all of which the Judge totally ignored. His only interest was in rejecting the case because it should have been made earlier and should be returned to the lower courts. I quote the judge. "Judge Batten said, “even if he accepted the conspiracy theories as true, he must dismiss.”"
So regardless of any actual evidence, which he was not going to look at, even though it had been presented to him verbally by Sidney Powell he was dismissing the case.

How about the secratary of state trying to destroy digital voting data stored in the voting machines, as Secretary Jon Husted and the Boards of Election would like to delete all of the digital images created by the machines in 2019?

What is he doing, I don't know and neither do you. What I do know is that the election ballots have other stuff other than just votes for President and Senator of choice. The ballot goes all the way down to selecting the local dog-catcher.
As to destyoing electronic electoral, vote the now Governor Kemp was his states Secretary of State (Georgia)and he himself set up the rules and regulations for the election of the Governor... in which he was in the race for and after the election he wiped the electronic voting record. So where were you and the rest of conservative America then?

Sorry, it cannot have been debunked, because it was only handed over on December the 3rd. If you actually watch it you will see why it cannot have been debunked, it just shows the counters working without the public or a republican monitor, which is illegal under Georgia & Federal law. As the video clearly explains
It also clearly shows that the public (press) and the Republican monitors were not allowed to see the ballot envelopes being opened or the Ballots being counted by the machines.

Erm, as I wrote on page 107 of this waste of a thread.
Mr Sterling said the suitcases were moved across a room as “normal procedure”, and that there was nothing “odd” about the process, because poll workers were tasked with scanning the ballots once observers and vote counters had left the State Farm Arena.
“If you look at the videotape, the work you see is the work you would expect, which is you take the sealed suitcase, you place the ballots on the scanner in manageable batches and you scan them,” Mr Sterling said.
Frances Watson, the chief investigator for Georgia’s secretary of state, told Lead Stories that Republican and Trump campaign observers were not told to leave, and that the ballots scanned in the surveillance video had already been counted, in contrast to Mr Giuliani and Ms Pick’s assertions.
You could ask who is Mr Sterling, just like the pretend US election analyst MrP asked.
A Republican senior election official in Georgia, Gabriel Sterling.
CLAIM: Poll workers and partisan observers were told to leave Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on election night, but four election workers stayed behind, pulled suitcases full of ballots out from under a table, and scanned them after hours without any supervision.
THE FACTS: The video doesn’t show evidence of fraud, much less the “SMOKING GUN” evidence that Trump’s legal team claims on social media.
No one told observers they had to leave, and both an independent monitor and an investigator oversaw the vote count, according to state and county officials. Confusion arose when election workers thought they were done for the night, but then were instructed to continue scanning ballots. But investigators who reviewed the entire surveillance tape confirmed it showed “normal ballot processing,” according to Gabriel Sterling, a top official in the secretary of state’s office.
This video was rebuked many days ago, seems they kept you out of the picture.
Thats why I don't rush to condemn the videos you pop up. I wait for the Republican officials to do that.

There is just a couple of minor problems with that debunking. 1. It does not matter if they were tasked with scanning the ballots after the public and Monitors had left. It is still illegal under state law to manipulate Ballots without oversight. 2. "Frances Watson, the chief investigator for Georgia’s secretary of state, told Lead Stories that Republican and Trump campaign observers were not told to leave, and that the ballots scanned in the surveillance video had already been counted" Of course they were not "told to leave", they were told that counting had finished and the station was closing, which is why everyone except the 4 women and 1 man left. But the real problem with this statement is that the ballots had already been counted. Because the monitors did not go home, they went to "Vote Central", where they were asked why they had left their station when it was still counting votes. So they went back and got there just after the counters left. That would mean that they were double counting the votes, which is even worse than just breaking federal law.
But like Djack you believe what you want.

You could count them a million times, but unless every single ballot is audited for signature and personal details they won't find anything will they? They have had weeks to ensure that they all match number wise. But of course the Signatures and personal details are no longer readily available because they didn't keep the envelopes to match the data, yet another electorial infringement.
We will see how the latest law suits prevail. Apparently Texas has taken out a lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin for breaking election rules and laws. This one goes straight to the Supreme Court because it is between States. Also the Trump team are suing the Georgia Election officials personally.

Vice President Pence @VP, I Daniel McCarthy have a signed letter from Arizona Legislators invoking Article 2, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Oh dear it is getting worse, now we have a Diminion employee testifying that not only were the Georgia dominion machines connected to the internet, but they were accessed remotely during the election.
The debunking lies are all starting to fall apart.
Then there is the video from "Ruby" showing how insecure the ballots were and video of her passing a device to her daughter who passed it to a man during the counting.
