But I can't believe any member of the armed services would vote for a draft dodger who called them (collectively) "losers" and "suckers".
Fake news
He is a draft dodger (fact).
He did make those comments (fact)
He didn't make the comments. My view is if the milaitary votes were known Trump would easily win
and its draft deferment. And why should someone fight if its not their thing (its not a numbers game like it was). Some love this life. Others don't (I didn't like it but for some in the TF it was like a holiday camp)
Former President Donald Trump received military draft deferments five times — once for bad feet and four times for college.
edit. I had a friend who applied for the TF and was rejected for a minor medical issue. Even more minor than bad feet
Fixed it

I have to say Trump's actions in the last 24 hours have really turned me against him.
What you mean you were a big supporter of Trump before this?

It’s up there with Alternate facts, remember how we laughed at that one.

@Kirwan I agree TDS is a thing but also a lot of Trump fanbois use it as the rebuttal to any criticism of Trump and then go strangely quiet when the "thing" turns out to be true. Or get even louder coz ...
There's two types of Trump Derangement. Also those that are swayed by anything he says if he says it loudly and often enough. I guess because they are so invested.
All this ballot rigging shit is so predictable. Trump's been stirring the pot for months.
I'm not saying everything is above board although the balance of probability suggests it is - based upon Republicans saying Trumps making it up as well as democrats. What I do know is he's already been to the Supreme Court over postal ballots once and got shot down - so he's being true to form.

Well it's explained in the rest of the post. I wasn't his biggest fan, but I also saw the good things he did. I'd say I was more supportive of him than the vast majority of Australians.

@Crucial hey! bone spurs are a real thing... if you actually have them that is
Yep:
"The Times reported that a Queens podiatrist who rented office space from Fred Trump, the president’s father, might have given the president his diagnosis as a courtesy to his father."Never had surgery, just fixed itself apparently.

Politico thinks its pretty much all over

@Winger You can't ask for evidence and then simply post links to right wing organisations that have a history of parroting everything Trump alleges.
Oh sorry yes you can. You just did. Like always.
I agree if there's electoral fraud it should be prosecuted but as yet there is no evidence of any and posting extremely dubious sources doesn't advance your argument one jot - it discredits it.

If Trump doesn't want to wait for the votes to be counted, why should the Dems wait for this "Evidence"

That reminded me of "Baghdad Bob" the Iraqi "information" minister. He always cracked me up. Alternate facts and fake new are we used to call, "lies", which seemed to work O.K.

I'm willing to wait and see. You seem to have already made your mind up
And right wing organisations? As opposed to the mostly (honest and fair?) left wing media

Getting embarrassing now for Trumps inner circle..
Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani make bizarre claims of fraud and 'dead people' voting in Pennsylvania
In a bizarre speech, the Borat 2 star and Trump's personal lawyer said he'd been sent to find out how many dead people had voted in Pennsylvania. Perhaps thought he was heading to Transylvania.
in case your wondering why Rudy is the star of Borat 2..
