🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 01:18 - Sep 29 with 204529 views | Dr_Parnassus | 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.

🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 16:01 - Dec 4 by Lohengrin | I wouldn’t personally, but I do love watches. Always have. There are some great 0% deals on Hamilton I’ve seen this last week, if you’ve got your heart set on an Aviator you could do a lot worse. I’ve had a couple of Jazzmasters over the years and they’ve been great. No complaints at all. https://www.francisandgaye.co.uk/explore-hamilton-i198 |
Thanks for the tip, Loh 👠You have good taste: Hamiltons have been on my radar for a few years. Lovely looking pieces with fine, high-spec Swiss movements. Slightly beyond my means, though tempting to buy in instalments, as you suggest. The Laco, pictured above, is, as you may know, a modern take on the original watches made by the same company for Luftwaffe pilots during the war, which were a massive 55mm in diameter, and had very high luminosity in the dark. More of a functional tool than a classy dress watch, of course. That Laco has a more plodding Japanese movement in it, hence its relatively modest price. Now, if money was no object, I'd probably be looking at Glashutte watches, or, if I went properly bonkers, a Lange & Sohne. Hmm.. there seems to be a theme developing here, namely an unhealthy predilection for German watches. Note to self: STAY away from watch websites 😳 | | | |

🇺🇸Presidential debate round 1 - “Matchday thread”🇺🇸 on 18:23 - Dec 4 by Groo | 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. |
Who is Mr Sterling? Surely that’s not normal practice. I think people are scrambling to make sense of this one. Those on the Democrat side maybe are a bit “ooooh that doesn’t look good to be fair” on the inside; then immediately snap into the “it’s just normal procedure” mode. That just can’t be normal. We heard poll workers were told to go home as they had finished counting at 10pm only for them to continue counting until 4am and is among those that swore under oath. I wonder if it was anyone from this precinct as that certainly appears to be what has happened. For them then to pull ballots out of suitcases from under a table and continue under no supervision of legally appointed vote observers just cannot be normal practice and if it is then clearly there needs a system overhaul. File this under “Needs further and vigorous investigation”. | |

And putting the same ballots through 2 or 3 times. Of course that is normal Democrat voting procedures. | | | |

Who is Mr Sterling? A Republican senior election official in Georgia, Gabriel Sterling. and they were not counting votes, they were scanning votes that had already been counted. | |

I’ve read quite a bit around this, and although I agree it could do with some further investigation I haven’t seen anything to prove it’s dodgy. The problem for both sides is misinformation. For example, the bags being labelled as suitcases when they’re standard site bags. It also seems that the votes had already been counted by this stage. | | | |

That is an absolutely classic case of projection. One of the best I have seen. The only poison spread on this forum is by certain visitors, who also act like a pack of jackals. Those same visitors used be on this forum and acted in exactly the same fashion, name calling, abusive language, use of ridicule, ganging up on single posters etc etc. Now we have people who use logic, facts and data instead of emotion and vitriole.

Used to be on this forum? Visitors? When did you get decide who’s forum this is then. It’s got the same posters as it always did, with the exception of a few name changes like Andy Cole/Icey/Antony, and minus a few more. Rino is not a word BTW. | |

Logic, facts and data lol. You crack me up trying to cement your argument for wasting your time in trying to convince the converted on this particular topic. The reason middle of the road people like myself dont come on here often isnt because we are scared of debating with you and your ilk, it's because we would rather spend our precious time doing things that we enjoy, on saying that it's nice coming on now and again poking the nest. | | | |

The dodgy part of this would be the potential that ballots were counted intentionally away from eyes that were there to watch. The noises are counting had stopped, but we know in some precincts they continued counting after they sent the poll watchers home - which appears to be the case here too. There needs to be an investigation into the ins and outs of what went on here without question. | |
