Trump and De Joy made sure that about a thousand mail sorting machines were removed nation wide. I don't know how many mail boxes removed. In other words, they tried everything they could to rigg the election, and still lost!
If I was Trump, I'd be in disbelief too!

And maybe 55 percent of the people are doing better but the rest are hurting.
Sure, Bezos and Musk did really good the last four years. But ask those families at the food line.
Listen, some of you guys should just stay out of political betting. You really exposed yourselves as politics squares.


Headline: 10,000 families show up to receive food.
Yeah obviously he is responsible how he handled things. Logistically he was not bad as hospitals were not over run and he pumped out the ventilators when they were the course of treatment. But yeah his attitude made him look like a complete jackass. Not really missing any point. And for the record I took Biden Popular vote cause I knew it was a sure thing despite huge odds, was originally going to take Biden Electoral college but had a bad feeling.

His approval rating was pretty clearly understated if you could not tell by the polls that twice turned out to be complete garbage.

Not 1, but 2 "amazing blunders" with an aggregate total of over 5,000 votes completely missed in the "final" GA tabulation. And, needless to say, both "glitches" hurt Trump's share, on the order of 1,300.

Of course nobody will ever perform a simple random sampling of absentee ballots to confirm their authenticity.

Our election process stinks to high heaven.

Australia New Zealand Vietnam Taiwan etc all say hi

Not everywhere is wrecked by covid most places are but my state for example 6 deaths totals and zero cases of community transmission for over two months now. Other states in Aus have been covid free for longer and Victoria went from 700 cases a day to 0 for weeks now after their major outbreak because they actually locked down used masks etc and now things can go back to normal there.

It's just not true to say there is nothing America could have done trump and most of the various governors didn't have the political willpower to do what it takes to contain covid and America has to live with that til the vaccine now

Whb still owes me 500 bucks, but we're never going to see him again are we

Whb if you're reading this think about the type of man you are to make bets in a public forum and refuse to pay up when you lose.

Australia was also arresting people in their houses for saying anti-quarantine things online and had some of the strictest lockdowns in the world. That would never work in America, nor should people be imprisoned in their own house. We took the worst approach though of doing it half ass and getting the worst of both worlds. When all is said is down I am sure the lockdowns cause more deaths than they prevented, think countries should have taken an approach similar to Sweden's. But the half ass approach is easier especially when things go wrong, well at least we tried!

Think another think to consider with the death rates compared to other 1st world countries is Obesity and Underlying conditions which Covid thrives on is much greater here.

Lockdowns in Australia causing more than equivalent deaths? What?

Covid is closing in on 250k deaths and rising 1k a day in the US

Australia is at 907 and largely has the situation under control now

Adjusting for population that is about 20k deaths in Australia and remember in America they're almost certainly not being tracked properly due to all the people that don't go to hospital and died at home due to the expense etc

You really think some basic precautions in most states and a few weeks of a harsh lockdown in one city caused 20k+ excess deaths? lol

I sure as hell know where i'd rather be right now and it's right here

Sweden's deaths are 6xxx on 10m population, extrapolated thats close to 200k in America and without the virus under control

If we extrapolate Australia's numbers to America it's 11k or so and with the situation basically under control now. Nearly 20x better than America and about 15x better than Sweden.

and people were only getting arrested for actually breaching lockdown rules
not for disagreeing with them on FB or w/e and obviously the lockdown isn't permanent, few wks and life back to normal to not kill a ton of people and go back to normal without any virus worries. It is not at all hard to stay at home for a few weeks and have groceries delivered when our government was putting out a proper stimulus through jobkeeper payments etc

The American response has been a nightmare of incompetence and to suggest it's been worse in Australia is beyond a joke. The country is basically functioning normally here. America is a cluster**** right now at least according to my friends who are currently in America. Australia is basically life as normal, because we did a couple lockdowns for a few weeks to get **** under control and took some precautions like quarantining between state borders/internationally etc

USA should become an island with people only living on the two coasts and nothing in the middle IMO. Easier to control the spread. Everyone get moving and the govt will work on detaching us from Mexico and Canada

So the reason the US hasn't eradicated it is the fact that the virus keeps getting reintroduced from Canada and Mexico?

Failed leadership at the top.
Mixed messaging.
Lack of coordination between individual states.
People in one state following social distancing and mask wearing and then people visiting from other states that don't and infecting everyone again.

But the government can't shut everything down; close businesses and expect people to not go to work without proper compensation. But who's responsible for making sure that people who follow the guidelines get compensated? Again, failure at the top.

America was doomed to fail from the beginning.
I say, let's vote those losers who failed us out of office.
Oh, we did

If we were an island in the middle of nowhere that no one wanted to travel to unless they were lord of the rings or crocodile dundee fans and if we had a government that threw us in prison for breaking quarantine

Unibet have just emailed that if Trump is sworn in on 20 Jan they'll also be paying out on Trump for the overall and this does not affect the bets they've already paid out on Biden.

Well for one what kind of affect do you think shutting down all the worlds major economies has on the third world. What do you think rates of starvation are compared to lets say last year?

I know someone who passed away who most likely died from not going to the hospital and had heart attack probably brushed it off as indigestion. There are numerous cases of surgeries being delayed and people not getting medical treatment they normally would have got for it not been for covid.

Then there is the rise is suicide and drug addiction, domestic violence and social effects that are causing lose of life due to the lockdowns.

Extrapolating Australia to America based on population would be a bit ridiculous. You guys are kind of isolated over there on you own little island. Was Trump supposed to shutdown all the airports, United states is a global travel hub.

I am pretty impressed by Germanys numbers for example as they have been able to keep the numbers way lower than other countries while being in the middle of it all.

Story of women posting about protesting lockdown rules. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54007824

Once you have the government saying stuff like "Now is not the time to protest about anything. Because to do so is not safe," he said on Thursday.

Your headed down a real slippery slope.

Did not say US response was better than Australia said it would be impossible to do in this country as we had our own democratic politicians promoting massive protest on the streets over George Floyd.

I agree with you the response was a cluster**** already as said we got the worst of both worlds, but not sure what trump could have done better other than his garbage attitude. Warp speed now has a vaccine and hospitals did not get overwhelmed given the conditions in USA not sure what could have done differently by him

If Whb would win today anyway he would still lose since his bets were in btc (well he just wouldnt win that much, but he loses double), which skyrocketed since election day. I already made back my loss and then some.

GA recount of batch from DeKalb 10,707-13 was signed off by 2 officials. Observer happened to discover the error which was actually 1,081-13.

What in the world is going on with US elections? And during a recount no less? What's the point of even doing a recount if mistakes at this level are not caught by the "officials."

This claim, made by the Georgia GOP chief and bellowed out by Trump, is extremely misleading. The number was correct in the initial count, and they messed it up in the recount and then CORRECTED it before it was ever reported anywhere. It was only this guy claiming that they briefly messed it up as some evidence of fraud.

Mistakes of the type you're seeing in Georgia (for instance, the ballots that they didn't count the first time) are fairly commonplace in elections in this country and the vast, vast majority are found before the state certifies the vote (GA certifies on November 20th). It's only when the election is close, and recounts are held, do these things become important and every mistake is theoretically discovered. The entire reason we have recounts in the first place is because the initial count could be mildly wrong for a litany of different reasons.

The reason you hear about these minor, inconsequential things being blasted out as if they're examples of huge fraud is because that is Trump's entire strategy. He is trying to cast a shadow over the entire election using gullible morons like yourself (no offense) to pass that message along to other gullible morons. His goal is to sow distrust in the system, and hopefully step into that void that the distrust has created in order to somehow regain the Presidency via means other than by votes.

Is this not the majority of people who bet this, or am I Desensitized?

I went all in on Biden and some stone lock props, but feels bitter sweet since 2/3 of books haven’t graded.

I have a free bet from monthhhhs ago with bol, not realizing they won’t let me withdraw my own money (after rollover) until it’s graded Lol

That's why you use a crypto book, deposit in crypto, never moves to usd, paid in crypto. Stake.com I used for the election.

Eradication seems to be a pipe dream tbh

South Australia just recorded 16 cases then 22 then 50 and is going in to a 6 day lockdown where you can't even go for a walk lol

they still have no idea where it's coming from and how

If you are struggling in such a big country like Australia with a small population then rest of the world has no chance using that tactic
