So much discussion about Trump, despite the election being long over and done with.

It's almost like you miss him 😕
Just read that article @kimbers, it just confirms what was widely rumoured. I wonder if the Brexit interference will get leaked at some point!?
This would be explosive, but not unexpected. The problem here is that a number of very vocal hard right libertarians were able to co-opt the help of Russia, pro-deregulation advocates in the US and of course a UK media furious at the UK government for the Leveson Inquiry. I can't see the majority of the UK press giving this much headline space, unless there's a significant volte-face in central government and the various hard-right think tanks currently dictating policy.

Its because Trump is as much a symptom rather than the cause.
So much discussion about Trump, despite the election being long over and done with.
But it's not over and done with, is it?
People are currently being held accountable for attempting to overturn the election and indeed the US democratic process.
Also losing the election doesn't mean that Trump no longer has any influence.
The important priority for those who want to guarantee and defend the US democratic model, plus those who want to continue to minimise Trump's influence, is to relentless pursue the issue.

Trumps presidency (and his actions beyond it) won't stop being a topic for conversation in our lifetimes. His entourage and enablers and anyone who witnessed theirs actions will spend the rest of their careers and even lifetimes being investigated and interrogated, either through the courts or through journalism and documentary, on his actions and theirs during the last few years.
In a sense the only thing that stopped any of the scandal's during his campaign and presidency from being brought to account was the fact there was another scandal the next day, perhaps even in the next few hours - we'll be pick through the bones of it all for decades.
Thats not unprecedented though - on any given eventing I doubt you could flick through the TV channels from end to end and not find either documentary or drama focus on either Adolf Hitler or his actions. I don't think thats because anyone misses him though.

Except maybe Donald Trump.

I've just ordered a book about Nixon King Richard and Watergate that was published this year!
I was reading about Marcus Aurelius recently.
I wonder what would happen if the Kremlin got hacked wiki leaks style
If the Kremlin was hacked it would be by the Kremlin. The Kremlin would then say that it can't be proved that they hacked the Kremlin and also tell you how tall Salisbury Cathedral is. The individuals who it can't be proved hacked the Kremlin on behalf of the Kremlin would then be given their own TV talkshows.
latest brain fart from the orange bawbag
Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration. He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth.

Seems like inciting insurrection might be illegal.
Even standing by and doing nothing when you could do something is illegal.
Done with pretending, getting to the point now.

I mean.... whats wrong with these people?
Edit: I've looked her up, what's wrong with her is that she's a shitbag of the highest order. Full on racist, white supremacist and conspiracy theorist. I know UK/Australian politics isn't a shining-light of everything a functioning democracy should be, but at the point that people like this are getting into positions of authority, something has gone seriously wrong.
You can't argue with that.
Bawbags be bawbagging.
He really holds a grudge doesn't he?
He really must have a truly miserable existence
Some of these people have believed the kool-aid they drank for years.
Will they ever give up or see through it?
I don't get 'mericans and their politics.
Hey, but at least he is showing an interest in women's sport.
He’s issued a statement on that?
Is it some sort of parody?
Radical group of leftist maniacs? Its a footy team!
taking the knee = radical left
So Texas voted Democrat….
I just don't get his motivation. I spend a lot of time wishing I could win the lottery, quit my job then spend the rest of my life living in the background, quietly getting on with my hobbies.
Trump is in his 70's. He can live comfortably, quietly, play golf, hang out with sex workers. Why doesn't he just shut up and live what is left of his life? Does being this angry make him happy?
I just don’t get his motivation.
He likes being the center of attention. He's an extreme narcissist. Losing to Joe Biden utterly destroyed his self-image so the idea that he was cheated serves to shield him from the reality that he's a massive loser.
I just don’t get his motivation.
Grift. The far-right is absolutely mired in professional grifting.
Whenever Trump talks, something is quietly happening to roll back rights somewhere, it's always best to keep one's eye on what Republican controlled states are up to.

Aye,as thols says,he's an extreme narcissist and will be forever angry that he can't buy the one thing he really want's the most,admiration and respect.
He is a massive fake,and even with all the riches in the world,he will never be content.

Loser. The point of having money is to make more money and have people treat you like something out of 17th pre revolutionary France.
Does being this angry make him happy?
I genuinely think that if you ever got to ask Trump that he'd struggle to understand why you think he was angry. As far as he's concerned the "normal way of the world" should be that men* like him should be in charge, and should be able to do whatever they want when ever they want, and not have anyone tell them that they can't do anything and you should do what he says and show nothing but total loyalty...In fact if you didn't want to do that, he'd probably ask you what was wrong with you.
*and it's always men...
They are in a truly, dangerously, parallel universe....
And yet these deluded idiots appear to win every single time because they shout loudly, spout their deluded crap and refuse to compromise. Other people _have_ to compromise to even get these lunatics to sit at a table and that just makes them think that they have the edge, which they do.
You can't reason with them. You can't apply logic to them. You can't debate with them.
Fox news have been on shaky ground for a while. The problem is the news part of the operation do generally stick to broadly accurate news and so cant help but upset the maganuts from time to time. While the opinion part of the operation do their best to make up for it even they sometimes fail to respect the glorious leader enough.

They are as fundamentally nut as the Taliban or ISIS
That Madison Cawthorn parody account has been at it again.

A very fair comparison I think.
Well, today's the day the supreme court is going to reinstate Trump 9-0 after Mike Lindell's devastating election packet captures were to have been revealed yesterday.
But it's not going well for him.

Seems like there's no data. Those packet captures scrolling past were just some RTF files converted to hex.
The prize of $5M that was on offer to anyone who could "prove the election was not stolen" has been pulled.
