There is no way Biden got 80,000,000 votes, this was a 100% rigged election - President Trump blows hot again

Biden is the first presidential challenger to capture more than 50% of the popular vote while running against an incumbent since Franklin Delano Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.

He was accused of "interfering in Montenegro's internal affairs" and given 72 hours to leave the country. Montenegro's ambassador to Serbia, Tarzan Milosevic, was also expelled.

Mouthwash can kill coronavirus within 30 seconds of being exposed to it in a laboratory, a scientific study has found. The preliminary result comes ahead of a clinical trial into whether using over-the-counter mouthwash has the potential to reduce the levels of Covid-19 in a patient's saliva.
The Cardiff University report said mouthwashes containing at least 0.07 per cent cetypyridinium chloride (CPC) showed "promising signs" of being able to combat the virus.
The report is yet to be reviewed but supports another study published last week that found CPC-based mouthwashes are effective in reducing Covid-19's viral load.
The latest test was carried out by scientists at the university's laboratory and mimicked the conditions of a person's throat using mouthwash brands including Dentyl.

The US has hit another grim milestone in the fight against coronavirus as 11 million Americans have now been infected by the deadly disease - and one million of those in the last week alone.

The sobering figures come amid an ongoing political crisis, with President Donald Trump still refusing to concede victory to presidential election winner Joe Biden.
Instead he's sticking to his beloved golf course - where he was pictured again on Sunday - and tweeting baseless conspiracy theories about how the election was "stolen" from him.
