He looks a lot better with that body and wig

 

[Sprocket.]

slightly confused why is the BBC reporting 214 for trump?

I’m greatly confused why the BBC employ Andrew Neil.

PA deficit down to 338k

how much left? 15%?

 

[The39thStep]

Wonder how many of the contrarians on Twitter who were proudly showing their betting slips backing Trump this morning wished they’d cashed out ?

 

[JTG]

Er, 1.1m votes it says here. Oh yes, 16% left

Just dropped to 320k btw

Can he stop the count?

Not sure they've worked out how to. They're mithering to the Supreme Court about the cut off date for late arriving ballots but that doesn't affect the ones that are already in the building

so basically if this rate continues (given that the lead was 500k + at 25% to go) then Biden should sneak it?

His environmental wrecking will be his biggest single legacy, imo. The list of things he's done is scary.

YamYams all over the Rockies. Who wouldn't want that?

Yep, he's winning it. Posted some numbers up there somewhere demonstrating just how heavily these mail ballots are going to him and the campaign are clearly satisfied that they're going to win the state

he has not finished, only removed the protection in the last few days

if the is forced to concede he will have a fire sale of us policy to try to leave it in a mess when Biden takes over
and is trying to make it as hard as possible to repel his bullshit

which is going to be hard with majority in both houses for Dems

still not sure if its anything as scary as loading the surpreme court with headbangers and a prolifer

Nice tidbit: Joe Biden's popular vote lead is now greater than Hillary Clinton's was in 2016

 

[killer b]

he said they're taking 73% of the postal ballots in in that speech

jebus watching sky news give access to a trump head banger

proclaiming that the votes have been fiddled with


switches over

(In Pennsylvania! presume it'll be rather less nationwide)

Joe Biden's speech was pretty good on the ears, not that it means anything

If you mean why has it gone up by 1, it's because he got a single EC vote from Maine, where the votes don't come in one chunk. Biden also got a single EC vote in Nebraska.

 

[JTG]

Yup, some of the batches reported seem to be almost a straight transfer into Biden's column

 

[existentialist]

It was very presidential.

And the military still have a chance to vote ... cancelling those votes (clearly some Republican) would surely not have gone down well ?

Bookies now have Biden at 1/9

Herman Cain would have been best. By virtue of being dead.

And why not, being dead didn't hold this guy back!

Thank you

Ok so stuff that can go wrong.

We can safely give Biden Michigan. Trump needs to overturn Biden's lead in Arizona (very unlikely?) or Nevada (probably unlikely?), hang on in PA (fuck knows?) and hang on in Georgia and North Carolina (probable?). He needs a bunch of probables, possibles and unlikelies to all go his way. No impossibles in there, but multiplying unlikelies together quickly produces near-impossibles.
