GOP plaintiffs asked the court at a hearing Friday to order the state to inspect duplicated and adjudicated ballots, claiming without evidence that there could be enough uncounted votes for Trump to change the election results.

Arizona Superior Court Judge Randall Warner denied Ward’s petition and shot down the Republican argument suggesting ballots were cast fraudulently or improperly, finding that their evidence “did not prove illegal votes, much less enough to affect the outcome of the election.”


Just because the British Cypriot expats are a bunch of deadbeats doesn’t mean we are in Australia because the Greeks and Cypriots who went to Australia and IS were pioneers that traversed to the other side of the world knowing they may never see their homeland ever again. Most were poor. Probably all were poor with the exception of isolated ones like Onassis.

They knew they had to do something and there was no chance of walking into a cushy job. So they had to make their own luck.

Like the Kailis Family. A Prawn Fishing company that exports prawns all over the world.

Port Lincoln in SA has a massive Greek Community. All of them wealthy now. These were fishermen from the Greek Islands who walked in the Tuna industry. But they didn’t just work. They started buying up Tuna Licences. One Tuna licence is worth 6 million today, there are Greek families who have 3 or 4. We have Greek deep sea divers from Kalymnos now farming pearls. One Greek Family even operated their own aviation company with 800 employees.

We all rolled up our sleeves Milti because the first generation had a sense of obligation to set up the second generation because they started this new life a they better make it a good thing for their families.

Greeks and Italians are massive in building in Adelaide. And we use our own people. Money just circulated within our circles.

It really is amazing. If you drive down the streets of Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne you will see the impact we have had.

All from nothing and all without education.

Our parents relied on their children to read basic documents even.

And today, we all have our homes, our rentals and we also have our shacks in the beach and holiday homes in Greece and Cyprus. We have our boats, our women drive Mercedes and our kids proliferate the most expensive Anglican Private Schools which are for the rich. That in 2 to 3 generations.

Not just that, but we have infiltrated the who is who of Formula 1. That is where we have got to. And to the point of buying Greek Football Teams.

Sarah Palun is just an Alaskan Senator. I think there is a good place for her since she has Christian ideals and morals and right now there is a push for full term terminations which for me is no different to manslaughter.

So Palin is good. Stands up for these types of social issues very well.

Condaleeza is a different kettle of fish. She in my view was clearly competent enough to be a future POTUS. She should have pursued it. She would have been terrific.


:D :D :D

Well, this would confirm the election results, as well as the polls before the election. :wink:

Biden's already more popular than Trump's ever been

Analysis by Harry Enten, CNN
Updated 1648 GMT (0048 HKT) December 6, 2020

(CNN)Poll of the week: A new Gallup poll finds that President-elect Joe Biden has a 55% favorable rating and a 41% unfavorable rating.

The same poll gives President Donald Trump a 42% favorable rating and a 57% unfavorable rating.
What's the point: The 2020 election was, like almost every election involving an incumbent, mostly about voters' feelings toward said incumbent. Not enough attention, however, has been paid to the fact that the challenger was a fairly popular guy. He did not allow Trump to make this election a choice of the lesser of two evils.

Indeed, Biden is more popular than Trump has been at any point since he started running for president in June 2015.
A look across all the polling shows that Trump's favorable rating has usually been in the 30s or 40s, like in the Gallup poll. In the network exit poll, it was 46%.

The highest favorable rating I could find in any live interview poll for Trump was after he won the 2016 election. His favorable rating stood at 50% in a Bloomberg News poll conducted by Selzer and Company.

Trump never actually got above 50% in any live interview poll.

Giuliani was hoping to be pardoned by Trumps, but now, he hopes COVID-19 will pardon him! :wink:

...is it a coincidence? The timing could not be better for him, just like Trump, disappearing when things are getting a little too hot.

I suspect he fled the country realizing the game is up and will be getting no pardons!

The next time you’ll hear of him is when he’s declared the mayor of Corleone! 8)
