Donald Trump the road that might not lead to the White House - Redux 2024 thread.

[BigMoaner]

just signed up for CNN, 2 quid for a month. the radio here coverage not great. the observer last few weeks very good tho.

I turned on the Trump rally which is streaming on Twitch, and he was rambling about not being allowed to hit his wife, because his team told him it wasn't allowed.

Really? Though, to be honest, I don't know why I'm asking. Anything is possible with Trump. The last few weeks have been a mix of Father Ted's list of people he hated at the Golden Cleric Awards and random brainfarts.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Trump just seems to have been getting more and more desperate over the last couple of weeks, he must be really feeling the pressure, with so much more at stake this time, as in the fear of losing and ending-up being ridiculed, and possibly jailed.

Whatever happens, he’s never going to jail. The logistics of an ex-president being banged up make it a total non smarter

Fines, yes. Some sort of token house arrest, maybe. But he won’t ever see a cell.

There are military prisons perfectly suited.

If his heel spur is sorted, he could finally do his national service.

trump in last bid to show how worthy a presidential candidate he is fellates a microphone.

Donald Trump Weirdly Simulates Sex Act on Microphone Stand

The former president had a meltdown at a rally in Milwaukee Friday night over a faulty mic, which culminated in him simulating fellatio.

And calls himself a "Yooman Been".

I find it frightening. Maybe I'm having a sense of humour failure.

Oh you're not. There's nothing remotely amusing about it. Any of it.

I guess those that still find trump and co amusing at this stage still regard him as someone so ridiculous and so remote from them that he'll just, regardless of this election and its outcome, remain a joke figure that'll never have a direct impact upon them.

Terror does not negate humour, both can exist at the same time. Taking the piss out of the wretched wreck doesn’t undermine the gravity of the situation

 

[BigMoaner]

A trump win tomorrow is an appalling day for humanity, even by those affected only at distance. He is representative of how deranged everything is.

 

[Elpenor]

When will there be indications of a result UK time. Are we talking Wednesday morning?

If it ends up as a landslide, we should have a reasonable idea on Wed morning, if it's as tight as the polls are suggesting, it could take days before the final result is known.

Ah yeah, I forget they can’t just count the votes

 

[bluescreen]

Could take days, with slow counting in swing states if it's close.

Is Harris going to do much if she wins but Republicans hold on to House or Senate?

They can hang Trump and Vance from a lamp post

It's computerised how is it so

Not as simple as that if you read the WaPo article linked above. There is a lot of manual work involved in checking. And there are more mail ins than ever.

Mussolini was an Esso petrol station, works better than lamposts as one can string up a whole selection in one go. Upside down too for added insult.
