That explanation of the error is so pathetic. They don’t even try and come up with half believable excuses anymore.

I think only people with an insight into how design software works realise how crazy it is, but then most of the country don't have that insight, so this excuse is enough. And of course, they themselves clearly don't understand photoshop either, so I'd doubt they could even explain what went wrong.

They went with technical error... errr yeah sure :huh:

 

If 2 statements were prepared there would be no reason to edit either, you would just use the relevant one, you would not have seen the other one, If they had one already prepared and had to edit it surely it would have had Biden as the winner as that was what all the polls were saying. By releasing this they are basically saying "we thought trump was going to win, we believe he is the real winner."

Exactly!! It's not like Boris isn't used to writing 2 versions of things :lol:

Yeah Biden has played an absolute blinder here. Not mentioning Trump and going about the transition is the only way to go. There’s only one man leading that country now.

Prediction: those “marches” are going to be a total wet fart.

I love that Biden is just going about business as usual as President Elect and completely ignoring Trump. I’m not sure if he’s even mentioned Trump since winning.

It’s the best way of dealing with any troll. Just ignore them and carry on as if they don’t exist.

One thing I don’t understand is them going on about the tv networks calling the election. This is what happens every single election and it’s never been an issue until now. Not once in any US election have they waited until all states have verified the results and it’s gone to the electors, so why is it some huge issue now? (I know it’s because Trump has lost but still).

It would make total sense for Republicans to be mad at Biden being called before the official count was finished... if that wasn’t how it was done every single year. Trump was perfectly happy to give a speech before he was officially called in ‘16 and it basically boils down to ‘but we didn’t win this time!’. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole rigmarole is largely a move to keep the base fired up until the Georgia runoffs happen and then it’s dropped pretty swiftly afterwards (probably by everybody expect Trump). I mean, they can’t possibly think this is gonna go anywhere, right?

    • I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining   
    • All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.
    • Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.
    • Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
