Fotoartist, thanks for comments. I have been on this forum for eight years. During this time I have made quite a lot of really good friendships with American people, both male and female. I have an email list of about fifty people and there are about twenty Americans on the list. I am interested, where these people are and what is going on in their country and different States and Cities. The workings of our two countries are far different from each other and I have to count to ten sometimes when I see what is going on over there. As for the current USA E******n result, it's a real pity, there is all this controversy over the legality of it. Both main parties are at loggerheads and it's good business for the lawyers. I sincerely hope it is soon sorted out, one way or another. If the feelings on this forum alone, reflect the feelings of the nation, the bitterness, which is being shown will get worse, before it gets better and a speedy decision, must be sooner rather than later. I dread to think of what would happen if the E******n Result was to be reversed..................

Cheers and Beers

While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire.[29] In 1983, the couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsy as a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988.[29] The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse. He is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict,[30] and has said he has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[31][32][33] Beck later admitted that the family problems ranging from the divorce to his substance abuse had a severe negative impact on his children.[34][better source needed]

By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and he imagined shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain.[32] He credits Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with helping him achieve sobriety. He said he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in November 1994, the same month he attended his first AA meeting.[32] Beck later said that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.[25]

In 1996, while working for a New Haven area radio station, Beck took a theology class at Yale University, with a written recommendation from Senator Joe Lieberman, a Yale alumnus who was a fan of Beck's show at the time.[35] Beck enrolled in an "Early Christology" course, but soon withdrew, marking the extent of his post-secondary education.[32][36]

Beck then began a "spiritual quest" in which he "sought out answers in churches and bookstores".[32] As he later recounted in his books and stage performances, Beck's first attempt at self-education involved reading the work of six wide-ranging authors, constituting what Beck jokingly calls "the library of a serial k**ler": Alan Dershowitz, Pope John Paul II, Adolf Hitler, Billy Graham, Carl Sagan, and Friedrich Nietzsche.[35] During this time, Beck's Mormon friend and former radio partner Pat Gray argued in favor of the "comprehensive worldview" offered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an offer that Beck rejected until a few years later.[32] (Later, after Beck's moving to the New York City area, he had a consultation with Graham, which Beck said touched him strongly.)[37]

In 1999, Beck married his second wife, Tania.[32] After they went looking for a faith on a church tour together,[32] they joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1999, partly at the urging of his daughter Mary.[38][39] Beck was baptized by his old friend, and current-day co-worker Pat Gray.[32] Beck and Tania have had two children together, Raphe (who is adopted) and Cheyenne. Until April 2011, the couple lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, with the four children.[40][41]

Beck announced in July 2010 that he had been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, saying "A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor because of my eyes, I can't focus my eyes. He did all kinds of tests and he said, 'you have macular dystrophy ... you could go blind in the next year. Or, you might not.'" The disorder can make it difficult to read, drive or recognize faces.[42]

In July 2011, Beck leased a house in the Fort Worth suburb of Westlake, Texas.[43] In 2012, he moved his main TV and radio studios to Dallas, Texas.[44]

On November 10, 2014, Beck announced on TheBlaze that he had been suffering from a severe neurological disorder for at least the last five years.[45] He described many strong and debilitating symptoms which made it difficult for him to work,[46] and he also announced that he had "a string of health issues that quite honestly made me look crazy, and quite honestly, I have felt crazy because of them".[47] Beck related that a chiropractor who specializes in "chiropractic neurology", Frederick Carrick, had "diagnosed [him] with several health issues, including an autoimmune disorder, which he didn't name, and adrenal fatigue." Over a period of ten months he had received a series of treatments and felt better.[48] A number of medical experts have expressed doubt about the legitimacy of Beck's diagnosis, treatment,[49] and the credentials of the chiropractor,[50] with Yale University neurologist Steven Novella dismissing chiropractic neurology as "p***********e": "Chiropractic neurology does not appear to be based on any body of research, or any accumulated scientific knowledge, ... [and] appears to me to be the very definition of p***********e."[51

Barack Obama and the Obama administration
Beck promoted numerous conspiracy theories and falsehoods about President Barack Obama and the Obama administration.[138][139][140][141] Beck suggested that Obama was building FEMA concentration camps to put opponents in,[142] that Obama was planning to f**e a terrorist attack such as the Oklahoma City bombing in order to boost the administration's popularity,[143] and that Obama was the "puppet" of George Soros.[144] He frequently likened Obama and his administration to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.[142] Beck falsely claimed that the John Holdren who led the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Obama administration "proposed forcing a******ns and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population."[145]

Beck argued in 2009 that Obama has repeatedly shown "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture", saying "I'm not saying he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a r****t."[146] These remarks drew criticism, and resulted in a boycott which resulted in at least 57 advertisers requesting their ads be removed from his programming.[147][148][149][150] He later apologized for the remarks, telling Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace that he has a "big fat mouth" and miscast as r****m what is actually, as he theorizes, Obama's belief in black theology.[151] In November 2012, Beck attempted to auction a mason jar holding an Obama figurine described as being submerged in urine (in fact, submerged in beer). Bidding reached $11,000 before eBay decided to remove the auction and cancel all bids.[152][153]

In a 2016 interview with The New Yorker, Beck said of his commentary on Obama: "I did a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama." But added, "Obama made me a better man." Beck said that he regrets calling Obama a r****t and is a supporter of Black L***s M****r. He said, "There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to. I had to listen to them."[139]

Van Jones
In July 2009, Beck began to focus what would become many episodes on his TV and radio shows on Van Jones, special advisor for Green Jobs at Obama's White House Council on Environmental Quality. Beck called Jones, "an avowed, self-avowed, radical revolutionary c*******t". PolitiFact rated Beck's claim "mostly false", noting that Jones, who has open about his past as a c*******t during the early 1990s, had since expressed firmly capitalist beliefs.[154]

Beck also criticized Jones for his involvement in STORM, a Bay Area radical group with Marxist roots,[155] and his support for death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal, who had been convicted of k*****g a police officer. Beck spotlighted video of Jones referring to Republicans as "assholes", and a petition Jones signed suggesting that George W. Bush knowingly let the September 11 attacks happen. Time magazine credited Beck with leading conservatives' attack on Jones.[90]

In a move attributed by The New York Times as a response to the controversies by the White House, which had not seen Jones' position as senior enough to warrant a full vetting, and Jones' decision that "the agenda of this president was bigger than any one individual," Jones resigned his position in September 2009.[156] Jones characterized the attacks from his opponents as a "vicious smear campaign" and an effort to use "lies and distortions to distract and divide".[155]

Cass Sunstein
Cass Sunstein, Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Obama White House, was a frequent target of Glenn Beck's conspiracy theories.[157][158] Beck led opposition against Sunstein's nomination to the position.[159] Beck described Sunstein as "the most dangerous man in America."[160] Beck suggested that Sunstein was plotting ways to "ban" conspiracy theorizing.[161]

Fotoartist, I hope my previous post did not make anyone think that Donald Trump should give up the fight. Thats the last thing I would want to happen. In his position, he has to fight tooth and nail to clear up all these alleged fraudulent carrying ons and lies and lots more unsavoury activities, including insults and intimidation to staff and the family of staff, from these polling stations. I feel sure A****A and B*M had a great influence in the e******n, "Birds of a Feather Stick Together".
A quote from your post...""Thousands and thousands of businesses boarded up their stores on the eve of the e******n in fear of the L*****t mob burning and l**ting them in reaction to a Trump win"" end quote. I can imagine the reaction, if any inquiry says, "Fraud was a major factor, resulting in a Democrat win". Would the e******n result be automatically reversed?? The s**t will hit the fan like it has never done before, imho.
We shall see what happens eh? as the world looks on and ponders this dreadful sad and bad situation. It seems unbelievable that this could happen in the worlds greatest country, maybe in a banana republic yes, in the USA definitely NOT.....

Cheers and Beers
