US election 2020 thread

[JTG]

I spent some time in non urban michigan and this is a reminder of the world view they have.


When i was there i tried to find a bureau de change. No one know what I was talking about. I even used the term money exchange.l It wasn't a thing banks even thought of. I was living with my girlfriend who worked in a bank as a loan supervisor and even she did not recognise a money exchange as a thing I might be interested in.
I will remind you this state shares a border with fucking canada.

I know the terms Bureau de change wheshel and cambio. even though the euro has rendered most of those terms moot.
american is amazingly insular.

don't even get me started on the racism

Yeah it's a different country outside the main urban centres

 

[JTG]

Wtf is all the count pausing for? They have the completed votes, no? Have you all got something better to do or not want to lay on rotating staff? (I think postals can still be received for another few days in PA?)

Atlanta they all went home for the night I think

Here comes Trump.

 

[maomao]

Trump's about to address the nation. Surely he needs an actual lead to try and nick it.

Trying to sic his minions onto Atlantan vote counters perhaps.

 

[a_chap]

Woke up, read...

I think Biden will just scrape the popular vote tbh but it will be close and we'll never hear the end of the lawsuits on both sides.

...turned on the radio to hear Trump saying "it's not even close" and claiming victory.

Just FUCKING KILL ME NOW.

 

[Epona]

He isn't even fully coherent tbh

It would be dumb to go for violence now while he still has a legitimate chance.

 

[Epona]

Oh he is calling a fraud now

 

[cupid_stunt]

He's going to court.

 

[Epona]

Not unexpected but what a fucking twonk - a dangerous one though

 

[Pickman's model]

He isn't even fully coherent tbh

The longest word he used was president
Pretty much every word was one syllable

 

[kabbes]

It was another bizarre rambling vomit of nonsense from Trump. His shit politics aside, it’s amazing that anybody can listen to him for 30 seconds and say, “yes, this man.”

 

[redsquirrel]

He's going to court.

Well that's what he said.

Have you seen Biden? Or Clinton. It would help if the Dems didn't keep nominating the undead.

 

[agricola]

He's going to court.

after saying the Dems were going to go to court if they couldn't win

 

[kebabking]

America, twinned with Belarussia?

 

[Ted Striker]

That's the worst of all scenarios, isn't it? Stealing (or having the appearance of) the win? I'm not saying I'd rather it be done, of course, but, and not for the first tome tonight, ffs

 

[agricola]

As much as the Democrat establishment deserves a complete shoeing for this, I'd have thought it should now be obvious that any candidate was going to have a tough time running against 45% of the country and more than half (in terms of its share) of its media.

 

[tim]

He's going to court.

Yes, he said he was tired of Melania and was off to woo a new young lady.

 

[YouSir]

So, violence then is it? Whatever happens with the votes he's declared it invalid.

 

[ska invita]

Ho hum

 

[Ted Striker]

Greenland must be shitting it

 

[JTG]

Not that it matters given everything else he's said and trying to do, but I believe that doing an election conference from the White House is illegal. But hey.

Take pity on me please thread: I dont want to engage with MSM or even search this thread(not very well today) so would someone kindly give me an update (turned off news at midnight)

For three years he's been the orange comedy president, and the show continues, season 2.

It's on a knife edge and won't be decided for days. Lawyers first. Then guns probably.

Up in the air - hangs on results in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and - to a lesser extent - North Carolina & Maine

Biden quite possibly favoured to edge home if there's a straightforward count of all votes. But Trump is doing what he said he would and unleashing chaos

It’s all got very fucking weird.

Trump probably going to win.

Andrew Neil's attempts to sound baffled that him working for right wing papers and editing the Spectator might have led to this are great fun.
