Not too dissimilar to Trumps tweets after Obama was elected then really. He claimed that election was a 'great injustice' and 'we should march on Washington and stop this travesty' because he 'lost the public vote and won the election'. Bit of a hypocrit really, isn't he?

wowzers...there's no defending that...brutal hypocriticism from the Donald there. And Obama won by 5m votes so what was he talking about anyway?

really, there's almost always different angles to look at things but here there's no place for Trump to hide...has anyone asked him about these comments recently?

At best guess he failed to take into account the delay in counting votes like California's and Hawaii that usually pad out the Dems popular vote totals but I rarely know what he is talking about tbh!

Don't recall anyone asking but then with no press conferences it is a lot easier for him to dodge awkward questions.

Last press conference on July 27. It's an absolute joke.

There were, briefly, right wing folks that were shouting on election night 2012 that Romney was going to win the popular vote while losing the EC.

If I recall Romney was actually ahead in the popular vote but behind in the electoral college at one point during that night, but that was before West Coast votes started coming in.

This is fairly normal. Small, rural, Republican precincts report before big, urban, Democratic ones, and the heavily GOP areas of the country like the South are basically done reporting by the time vote counts start coming in in California, Oregon, and Washington.

So, anybody who said that while results were still coming in is being disingenuous and anybody who believed that that sort of result would hold is an idiot.

I went through all this earlier, mate. He's not free to walk out there and the only thing that's blatant is the stitch-up against him. It's not even rape what he's accused of anyway, according to Swedish law it's "rape of a lesser degree", which really confuses the rape is rape crowd among the chattering classes and is questionable whether anything that he's accused of doing would even be considered a crime in British law.

Of course he is free to walk out of there, and the argument over whether or not he had been stitched up would have more merit if he had ran into the embassy straight away, instead of fighting and losing the EAW. He took part in the legal process until he lost, after all.

dholliday said:
Alone the millions spent on 24/7 policing watch over the embassy over the last few years should be enough for anyone to question what's going on, and then there's the perfect timing of these accusations coming directly after the helicopter-massacre video that he leaked.

The precedent that Assange would set if he successfully sought sanctuary in a foreign embassy, a "right" that has not existed in English law for nearly five hundred years, is so bad that spending the money now is vastly cheaper than having to deal with the consequences of allowing him to get away with it.

Regarding Snowden, he's part of the same Obama crackdown which did for those in Trailblazer. He's got more column inches because the program he revealed was wider, and he had the ear of scoop-hunting media. What's now most interesting about Snowden is how he can have asylum in Russia and still be free to criticise them as well as USA. Maybe there's more to this game than meets the eye, Putin playing a complex long game?

I think its more that Snowden doesn't really threaten them in the way that the Trailblazer crowd did - after all, he talked of the NSA's overwhelming capabilities and its global reach, whereas they showed everyone that it was basically a load of incompetents paying way over the odds for a system that they didn't understand because of the big private sector jobs that would have been on offer to them after they signed up.

If he's been free to walk out why has there been 24/7 excessive police watch over the embassy? That's hardly free to walk out, is it? The British government said themselves the orders are to arrest him the instance he walks out.

Sorry mate, don't follow this point. He has already successfully sought sanctuary, for the police haven't stormed in there to arrest him.
