Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already (14 Viewers)

[Philosoraptor]

Actually I disagree with this, because I actually think the longer this goes on the longer people have to get angry and the more violence will occur

They need to get this counted and called ASAP

I think there may be a start to problems if multiple news sources call the election and Trump doesnt recognise the result.

It's just how far down the rabbit hole they want to go.

Most Republicans are staying very tight lipped about the issue and have offered no vocal support for the Trump's re-election.

About 18k lead in PA for trump, if igt continues this way Biden should easily win there. Votes breaking 4 to 1 biden at the moment

 

[Otis]

MRS Otis must be pissing herself laughing?

No idea. We haven't spoken to each other in 4 months.

Just your bog standard, run of the mill marriage

 

[CCFCSteve]

Polls all say Biden easily, election closer than expected... but it's Democrat corruption?

Trump should be removed for the sake of Democracy and world peace!

Agree 100% with the sentiment NW but he can only be removed when counts are finished (or impossible for him to win) otherwise it will just add to his nutjob conspiracy ramblings. You were right yesterday when you said the release of the counts during the process has just given him ammunition/stoked the fire.

This has been the perfect storm scenario....nutter incumbent, very close in swing states and some slow counting (layered with Covid)...let’s just hope a clear result can be declared asap otherwise the damage to democracy will continue

Ps putin and jinping must be loving this !

 

[Otis]

Just heard that Nevada won't declare until the 12th November.

 

[shmmeee]

I'm sure they can find another 1,000 Biden votes from 'somewhere'.

Yes. The ballot box. Jesus what’s it like being totally detached from reality and permanently paranoid?

Chill the fuck out, it's Friday.

Which bit of bullshit politics do people want to worry about next? Maybe there's an election for a Scout Leader in Ghana FFS.

I love how people can't grasp that the states remaining count their postal ballots last and traditionally these skew democrat so it's not surprising trump took a lead and is now being pegged back.

It's the opposite of Florida who count postal ballots first and then on the day voting which is why Biden took a lead and the Trump overtook him. I notice no one is claiming voter fraud there.

Mate if you don’t like politics fair enough. I do t come into all the rugby threads asking why people care.

What’s happening is exactly what everyone said would happen before the count. None of this is surprising at all.

I don't think an African scout leader wants to sell us chlorinated chicken and grab a chunk of the NHS to be honest.

It's not just here its everywhere, had to remove news apps. You can't put the radio on.

People do realise we aren't in America, right? Why are people staying up all night? The media are hammering us with it, add into that lockdown and it's just something else that will needlessly play on people's minds.

I bet they stay up for wrestlemania and say "can I get a coffee" as well. Chill out.

It's their loss then.

Normally I’m right with you on the obsession with American politics. But this is genuinely interesting as a politics nerd. And who wins will have implications for the U.K.

But mostly, let us geek out. It’s once every four years and it’s confined to this thread.

It's all harmonious around here anyway. Virtual total consensus, bar a rogue loon or two, that Trump is a deranged nutter.

It's one of the most united threads on here atm!

They've been executing Federal prisoners over the last few months. Started back doing this after nearly a twenty year hiatus. You can always tell how fucked up a country is by the way they treat their prisoners.

Biden would want to sell us it?

That's John Lewis old district that's done that. Somewhere he is looking down laughing.

 

[djr8369]

Just in the waiting room at the hospital and even the nurses are talking about the swing in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Somebody send Nick down to give them a bollocking!

 

[hill83]

The narrative of it all is pissing me off. It's not even a swing. These are all votes that have already been cast.

 

[clint van damme]

yeah, because a Ghanaian scout leader has a massive affect on geo politics and on our economy

 

[shmmeee]

The mix of live updates and choosing to count based on how people voted is just a recipe for disaster. They should just announce a winner like we do.

A cynic would say it's been done on purpose to allow a narrative to be pushed by a certain orange bloke.

Also the different ways people count votes confuses people

I think the republicans did quash some law changes to allow early counting of mailed in ballots? They’ve been setting this narrative up for months and now playing shocked that vote share is changing as the count comes in.

It's big business.

Really? Clap the cunts round the ear like the tango man.

So you're saying we all want Trump to win then?

 

[tisza]

Odds on Georgia and Pennsylvania being further delayed by inevitable recounts as so close - with Biden now ahead in Georgia

Yup, I always do mine upside down whilst whistling the theme tune to Bonanza.

 

[Darth Robins]

Nothing even cynical about it at this point imo. The writing has been on the wall for months now, gutting the postal service and spending months telling his supporters not to vote by mail, then acting shocked that... his supporters didn't vote by mail! That was absolutely a master plan by someone (I doubt it's Trump himself) to try and steal the election via litigation. It's not going to work, and at a certain point they'll have to give in before a Civil War actually starts.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

So Georgia will have to go to a re-count won't it.......what a ball ache on a Friday eh.
