President Trump and US politics catchall

[Rhubarb & Custard]

Interesting watch, and comparison (to how Hilary acted in 2016, and Trump (so far) in 2020). McCain's concession speech in 2008:

Easily the most important person in the moment when the result is called is the loser, it's on them to act with the country and democracy in mind no matter how much it hurts, perhaps even more so if there's a transfer of power. Even if you're Al Gore and think you might well have won there's a point you need to think about something that's not you

[Hal Jordan]

I want Joe to win if only to hear Trump's "I concede" speech. I wonder if he can get the words out... or if there'll ever be one.

If they drag him out, he's going to give the White House the 24th August 1814 treatment out of spite.

Stupid twat will set fire to himself instead.

Right wing bollox followed ed by "but you know that" or something similar

He won’t do one, it’s not in him. I’d be amazed if he turned up at the swearing in

Its hard to reconcile that the current President is from the same species as John McCain, let alone the same Political Party

[Sandstorm]

Trump isn’t a politician’s arsehole. Rude to include him in the same category.

[Cartman]

Love it

The belief amongst the analysts is that Nevada is callable for Biden now - which leaves FOX in a difficult decision as, given they've called Arizona that would mean they're calling the whole thing. Against Trump

Nevada counting votes individually between spins of the roulette wheel? There’s hardly any people in the whole state FFS.

It's almost all in Vegas and they're not really set up for counting postal votes. And they mailed a postal ballot to everyone, so as a proportion of the population it's much higher than other states.

Add to that they allow postal votes to arrive till November 10th

Excuses, excuses.

And another of Trump’s baseless legal actions bites the dust

“ A Michigan judge has dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit demanding “meaningful access” to vote-counting sites.

The decision comes one day after the AP declared Joe Biden to be the winner in Michigan and its 16 electoral votes.

The Biden campaign has dismissed the lawsuits as “meritless” attempts to distract from the Democratic nominee’s victories in key states.”

The registrar of Clark County (Las Vegas) says they won't release any more results till noon on Friday ET. That's about 20 hours away, ffs.

Meh, there’s only 6 seats there. Meaningless

So they reckon there's around 550,000 mail votes in PA left to count. Biden needs 60% of them to win.

Currently he's winning the mail in ballots by 78%

Not if Biden also wins Arizona. Then he's at 270 and it's game over - without him even needing PA.

The transition talks mightn’t go down that well either.

[Uncle fester]

It'll be proper scorched earth stuff and it'll be all Biden's fault.

There won't be transition talks

You have to go back a long way to find something equivalent to what this transition will look like

[fishfoodie]

Less than 13k lead in GA now; & ~100k votes to count

[Saint]

PA drops below 100k. Just a matter if time now

[Saint]

Less than 13k lead in GA now; & ~100k votes to count

Where did you get that number from? Earlier today GA said 60k votes to count.

Someone inside the WH said a few weeks ago that they weren't preparing for a transition; which might have been just bravado; but given who we're talking about; probably wasn't.

Like everything else; the transition will be a clusterfuck, with the scum trying to pardon himself, & all his lackeys out of prison, & shoving as much cash as he can into his businesses

I think Biden's actually going to lose Arizona. I'm not even sure it will be close in the end

[Hong Kong]

I love the smell of success....

[Saint]

GA down to less than 10k lead

Biden could theoretically win PA just from Philadelphia at this rate.

[Fat Old Git]

They said on the old fashioned live TV news this morning that in one of the states unused to so many postal ballots they are taking it slow and checking everything 5 times to ensure the count is as accurate as possible.

[fishfoodie]

I was calculating based on the votes cast, & the percentage completion on the NYT site

They're out. It's down to around 47k to go in GA. That's going to be so tight that delayed military overseas votes could swing it

They all know that there's lawsuits on the way, regardless

Yeah, it's certainly possible they're fudging the number, because they know the number of ballots on hand, & they know the number they've sent out, & the percentage counted is based on the larger number.

Bat shit

Those brought me to this amazing tweet.

You beat me to it


This Woman is a "spiritual advisor"

My advice to her is to lay off the spirits.

I have no idea why anyone gives white people shit over their dancing ..... none at all ....

this looks like footage of what happens when people drop scorpions or rattlesnakes down their kaks as a test of their Faith.

[sturginho]

Pa. Now down to 78k
Typical that this would suddenly get interesting just as I'm about to go to bed!
