US election 2020 thread

[JTG]

Might as well wait till they've finished counting, there's only 2% left. We can all wait another month.

35k still to count in Pittsburgh today. Court orders over allowing observers greater access meant they had to stop the count and reconfigure the counting centre to comply while also maintaining social distancing

Trump's twitter awaits...

 

[Sprocket.]

I went to a party in Hendon many years ago, the most memorable feature of which was the hostess's brother chasing some people down the road with a pitchfork

Towards a burning windmill hopefully?

 

[Pickman's model]

I’m convinced that biden’s been on 264 since sometime in September. This week is ridiculously long.

It's only been three days since the polls closed

Yeah, I know, I'm just thinking about the absurdity of the whole thing.

Sadly I cannot recall

CNN reports still 130k votes to be counted in Pennsylvania, he's not going to walk it, he's going to storm it.

 

[Yossarian]

Sweepstake on when he concedes?

On the morning of January 20, he'll probably concede that the backstabbing ungrateful traitors on the Supreme Court are part of the Democratic conspiracy to steal the election and he has little choice but to vacate the White House.

Insert something witty about it always being sunny in Philadelphia

Yeah he was always gonna end up some distance ahead once we knew how many mail ins were left and where. Same as Michigan

I’ve got ‘Taking it nice and slow, I’m in a Philly mood’ by Daryl Hall going through my head.

Yeah, I was thinking either today or Jan 19.

So when do senior Republicans start saying publicly that he should concede?

They have the Senate run-offs to think about.

 

[rutabowa]

I put on a bit of Fox News, they are absolutely slating Trump.

 

[Argonia]

Fuck off to the dustbin of history, Trump

 

[JTG]

Anyway, I see Geoffrey Palmer has died and it occurs to me that his finest moment has something to say about the situation in the US just now

CNN Live streaming is doing a great job

main story and loads of interesting side stories

“Bode a house has just had an air space border put around/above it” Beefing up the security

Murdoch only likes winners.

Silver reckons he could end up 3 points ahead in PA when it's all done. Most counties not counted provisional ballots yet and they should break for Biden too

There are probably folks in the military/FBI who are wondering if they will really have to physically drag his ass out of the WH, whilst it will amuse us greatly, it will serously undermine the dignity of the office

My favourite thing about Hendon is that Hendon Lane has a side road called Crooked Usage.

 

[StoneRoad]

If that lead in PA continues to grow ...

Then I'm cracking the hard stuff after work tonight !

What happens elsewhere is going to be largely academic if PA goes blue.

I'm now worried that someone has to be the bearer of bad tidings in the White House, and some of the weirder elements of the Rep base will do something particuarly and spectacularly stupid.

 

[Sprocket.]

Trump will leave the Whitehouse with his head held high, and his feet held higher as he is thrown out of the door.

Apologies to Spike Milligan.

National Defense Airspace NOTAM update.

National Defense Airspace NOTAM update.

That's interestingly close to Philadelphia.

What gives?

DONALD TRUMP TO ADMIT DEFEAT AFTER RECEIVING ADVICE FROM HIS ADVISERS - FOX NEWS SOURCES

 

[Sprocket.]

That's interestingly close to Philadelphia.

What gives?

It’s protocol to protect the incoming POTUS.

Clear National Defense air space set up around Biden.

NOTAM air defence protection for Biden has been extended.
