Erm, this would also make you a sheep, unless you somehow happened to play (and kick goals) in every Central Districts match you ever attended. Just saying.
I think one of his personalities did.
Need to do some research.

My money still on Biden to concede or on January 6th when the Senate actually counts the Electoral votes there will be a big surprise. Pay particular attention to the section Joint Session Challenges to Electoral Vote returns, Trump has the numbers in this case I have set out what actually happens below
Trump's losses in courts over this election stand at well over 50 now. But there was indeed one case that his campaign won.
It was in Pennsylvania, where a judge granted his campaign's request to allow Republican observers to stand closer to Philadelphia poll workers as the ballots were counted. The campaign argued that its observers were standing too far back to be able to properly inspect the ballots.
The order allowed them to move within 6ft of the observers as long as they adhered by all other COVID-19 protocols. The lawsuit didn't change a single vote.

Especially when it's other people's money.

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell has publicly acknowledged Joe Biden as the President-elect for the first time following the electoral college vote on Monday.
“I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” Mr McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
“Many of us had hoped the presidential election would yield a different result. But our system of government has the processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20. The electoral college has spoken.”
The Kentucky Senator’s official acknowledgment of Mr Biden’s win comes after weeks of silence, and a day after the electoral college met in each state to formally lock in the former Vice President’s 306-232 victory over President Donald Trump.
Mr McConnell praised Mr Biden as someone “who has devoted himself to public service for many years”, and also congratulated Vice President-elect, California Senator Kamala Harris.
“Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female Vice President-elect for the very first time,” he said.
He's a smart guy. I reckon he'll pardon Assange soon and ship him back to Australia, which means he'll made Biden have to jump through hoops to get him back.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Hope all my fellow enemy combatants on here had a nice Xmas
If this audio clip is correct Assange warned the US State Department back in August 2011of the impending release of sensitive information that could be damaging to the USA.
To me it now seems he was made the scapegoat for all the ills of the world and the corrupt US government.
The other thing we have had governments in Australia from both sides of the aisle who were too spineless to help an Australian citizen.
One of Donald Trump’s favourite newspapers, The New York Post, has implored him to “stop the insanity” and move on from his election defeat in a blunt editorial.
The Post is one of the four major papers in New York, where the President has spent the vast majority of his life – the others being The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The New York Daily News.
It was one of the few high profile publications to endorse Mr Trump over Joe Biden ahead of the election on November 3, arguing four more years of the Trump administration would be “the best choice” for the country.
That was a while ago now.
Almost two months have passed since the election. Dozens of lawsuits challenging the result have been thrown out of court. And the electoral college has voted, officially confirming Mr Biden’s victory.
Still, the President has not accepted his loss. He continues to post baseless claims about widespread fraud on social media, and to insist he could remain in office past Inauguration Day on January 20.
In its editorial today, The New York Post’s editorial board spoke directly to Mr Trump. It urged him to cease his efforts to overturn the result, and instead refocus on the upcoming Senate elections in Georgia, which have significant ramifications for the next two years.
“Mr President, it’s time to end this dark charade,” the editorial board said.
“We’re one week away from an enormously important moment for the next four years of our country. On January 5, two runoff races in Georgia will determine which party will control the Senate – whether Joe Biden will have a rubber stamp of a much-needed check on his agenda.”
The two runoff elections are necessary because no Senate candidate in Georgia received a majority of the vote on November 3.
Incumbent Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are trying to fend off challenges from Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
As things stand, the Republicans have 50 confirmed senators heading into the next Congress, while the Democrats have 48. The Republicans only need one of their incumbents to win to retain control of the chamber.
However, should both Democrats win on January 5, the Senate will be split 50-50. In that scenario, incoming vice president Kamala Harris will hold the tiebreaking vote for the first two years of Mr Biden’s term, up until the midterm elections.
“Unfortunately, you’re obsessed with the next day, January 6, when Congress will, in a pro forma action, certify the electoral college vote,” The Post continued.
“You have tweeted that, as long as Republicans have ‘courage’, they can overturn the results and give you four more years in office.
“In other words, you’re cheering for an undemocratic coup.”
The message I get about the US here is that there are some extreme ultra-liberationist lefties and some extreme authoritarians and that the propaganda each extreme group dishes out suggests there is no balanced middle ground.
I suspect it is not true and that balance is possible if the extreme propagandists are given less exposure to their target audiences by the media which is always trying to whip up a sensation and sell their media and create more adverting income.

But, people like Kristina Keneally say we only need to be worried about right wing extremists?

No, it's ASIO that says that - right-wing violent extremism occupies between 30 and 40 per cent of its counter-terror caseload, an increase from between 10 and 15 per cent in 2016.
