Biden up in GA

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:26 am**

They’ll be re-counting in Georgia on Xmas eve.

Wouldn't one expect the Military vote to favour Trump, though?

Trump's lead in Georgia is now just 463 votes. Scratch that. See above.

You would think the military would lean heavily toward Trump, but hasn't he queered his pitch with them of late?

Biden now leading in Georgia by about 900.

I've seen some suggestions that there are about 5000 outstanding military votes still to be counted, so still going to be very tight.

Margin Walker, you beat me to it :D

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:55 am**

GA looks like it;s a statistical dead heat. Recounts and lawsuits for years to come

PA looks like Biden will win by 100K+

NV looks safe for Biden as it's basically just Clark county to count. In any other year this would have been called by now

I still think Trump's going to win AZ, but the analysts reckon it's on a knife edge and might just favour Biden

NC is sticking with Trump.

Weirdly, although Alaska looks like it ought to be safe for Donald, the Dem Senate candidate reckons that it's going to flip blue. I just can't see that happening myself.

Thje final margins are of interest, as will be the final popular vote count (once California finishes running up the number). Ultimately Biden's probably won the vote count by around 10 million

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:57 am**

Bannon banned from YouTube, Twitter and Facebook for calling for Fauci and FBI Director Wray to be beheaded "as a warning to federal bureaucrats". Just a reminder of the best people.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:58 am**

So after all this Biden is on course to win comfortably in EC terms and massively in popular vote terms.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:59 am**

Trump sounded beaten in that speech and more preparing excuses to allow a graceful exit (in his own head at least, which is ultimately all he cares about) than to mount a serious challenge.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 10:07 am**

Fox News has called the election for Biden.

Edit - not yet.

Fishing for a pardon, is he ?

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 10:14 am**

I still think Florida and Texas should have turned blue too, something odd happened within the last hour of counting, if Trump asks/sues for a recount, the democrats should ask for a recount in Florida and Texas as well..

As a warning and because that's how you deal with traitors. One assumes Bannon said it merely to get the attention because he's not actually that stupid, and indeed he'd happily sit down for a chat with both Fauci and Wray. Further proof Bannon is a git, though why further proof might be needed is a mystery

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:04 am**

Trump must be cooked by now.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:05 am**

Interestingly enough, it seems there's no automatic recount margin in Georgia (In Arizona if the winning margin is less than 0.1% there's an automatic recount, Wisconsin 0.25%). If there's no automatic recount, whoever wants it has to stump up about $3million to pay for it.

No he really is that stupid - this is the guy who's on bail for a huge fraud case. Absolute scumbag, Seneca's idol, Farage's mate, and occasional guru to Boris Johnson. Woo.

Texas was ALWAYS going to be a stretch this time out. Although the demographic is changing there, it was only the odd poll that put Biden ahead, and I don't think he ever got outside the margin of error. Georgia had a lot of polls making Biden marginal favourite (but even then mainly inside the MoE)

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:34 am**

On the remaining military votes yet to be counted in Georgia, in August the Military Times conducted a poll which showed Biden winning serviceman by 41 % to 37%, so if Trump is relying on these to get him back in front in Georgia, he may well be disappointed.

One of the CNN reporters said that the reporters were withdrawing from the Maricopa count center, because gun totting crazies were intimidating the media.

I'd ask what the fuck the Police were doing to let that happen; & then I remembered that that was Joe Arpio's old beat

Plenty of otherwise intelligent people get caught out on fraud, that's more about rationalising your sense of entitlement or being a greedy bastard if you prefer. Bannon is plenty bright enough to know better, he's actively choosing to act in such despicable fashion because that advances his career and his stated cause, but probably mostly his career.

Got to say I'm impressed with the ability of the CNN team to keep on breathlessly repeat exactly the same set of numbers as if it's breaking news

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2020 1:43 pm**

In a masterful, exquisite piece of political and personal trolling, Putin has released this little snippet as a fuck you to Trump:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/06/europe/r ... index.html

Russian lawmakers consider bill that would give Putin lifelong immunity from prosecution

Moscow (CNN)Russian lawmakers submitted a draft bill that could grant former presidents lifelong immunity from criminal prosecution beyond their terms of office, state-run news agency TASS reported Thursday.

Such a bill would give current President Vladimir Putin protection from prosecution if and when he decides to leave office.
Under current Russian law, presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed while in office. The proposed change seeks to extend the immunity beyond their terms of office so it would apply to offenses committed in the president's lifetime.

The President was seen to wave two fingers up at a picture of Trump as the announcement was made.

Yep, will be interesting to see when the networks start calling it. I see that Decision Desk HQ have now.

Perhaps they'll wait for another tranche of PA ballots showing a bit more of a buffer

Yeah, that would have been quite a spot for them if Nevada started getting called.

Biden will still likely take AZ, but with the benefit of hindsight it wasn't a solid call at the time for AP and Fox

Its odd that someone as transactional as the shitgibbon, doesn't realize that now he's lost the Presidency; he has nothing these guys want anymore !

he's got a mountain of debt; & mountain of incoming criminal cases, & no more immunity, & no more leverage, & no more favors

They’ve been talking up him standing again in 2024, but hopefully he’ll be languishing in jail by then. Twitter have also reminded him that once he is no longer President, he won’t benefit from special treatment as a “newsworthy individual”. In other words, if he starts spouting shit on Twitter, they’ll ban him.
