I didn't know what it was until like you I saw the post informing me it was a pump action whatever. I'm comfortable I don't know my weapons of war

Yup. Rednecks missing the point by a wide margin.

Stupid plum.

The man I admire here is Giuliani. He has found a turkey and is just making the most of it. Between Ukraine and all the other conspiracies theories, he must be sucking millions from the Trump organization.

Good tune to start the day with in the Biden camp.

Fox News can't call NV for Biden, even though that is where it is going, because they already have AZ in Biden's column.



Oh the schadenfreude I'm feeling right now.

So Nevada didn't count at all yesterday.

I have a feeling that relationship will end in tears, as happened with Cohen. As seems to happen with so many people who get close to Trump.

There's going to be law suit after law suit, and Trump won't be happy when most of them fail.

I have yet to meet anyone who is happy when their lawsuit fails

The fear now, as mentioned by a few pundits, is that the Republicans know that many Americans are okay or agree with the worst parts of Trumpism. Next time they might have somebody actually competent doing it.

If he appears too competent, he won't appeal to 80% of these people at least.

So he/she will have to be a great actor, or be another Trump.

They might not agree with it if it isn't Trump doing it, though.

It was essentially Ted Cruz's schtick when lining himself up for President. Anything goes in the name of righteous conservatism. Look at me, I'm shutting down big bad government. If it wasn't for Trump's ascent he might have made it work too. Now he just comes across as a watered down wannabe.

Trump called them losers - of course they will vote for him.

I actually thought you were a fairly sensible person. Instead, you simply believe unproven crap.

It's nothing to do with me - but what will the armed forces personnel think?

Leave it to a Trumper who believes in widespread voter fraud without evidence, to be sceptical of the accounts of 4 individuals, each important enough to be in a room with the president, stating he called them losers.

I mentioned this a couple a years ago. Trump is an idiot but soon you will see an intelligent fascist who bullshits as convincingly without the fudge ups like this duffer.

If he's intelligent (or comes across as intelligent), they won't trust him.

fox still have Biden down for 264 with AZ in the win column ; I'm guessing thats stubbornness rather than some inside knowledge/polling

What does the gap in votes have to be for a recount to be interesting?

I would have thought anything more than a few thousand and a recount becomes pointless.

I never thought of it that way. But yeah, well done Rudy.

Wisconsin had a recount for the last election. They changed 130 votes or so, on a margin of 10,000ish.

I see recounts, in addition to the one already triggered in WI, happening in GA and AZ. Everything else will be on the candidate's dime.

Trump leads by 109K votes in PA, with 370K ballots to go.

So that would mean Biden needs 65% of those 370K ballots.

This from 538

Biden would need to win only 60 percent of the outstanding vote (mostly mail-in ballots) in Pennsylvania in order to carry the state. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jonathan Tamari, Biden had won 78 percent of the mail votes counted as of this morning.

They say 550K left to be tabulated.

What's Derwyns take at the moment?

We need top bants

That's why it's important to prosecute Trump.

Future President. More balls than Pence.

Independants in Nevada are giving the state to Biden, not so sure there with Arizona also narrowing.

Trump showing his true colours, and I fear for the U.S over the next couple of weeks. Senior Republics need to step in and calm this shit down. Once again Trump isn't a new force in U.S politics as some are claiming on here, he is representative of the extreme right of the Republicans, which are equalled at fault as the extreme left of the Democrats, seriously defund the Police, WTF cool aid are these muppets drinking.

Has there ever actually been an "intelligent fascist"? Trying to think of one...

The most technologically advanced nation in the world can't count votes.
I am reading that vote counting won't be over even by the weekend.

Also this year's voting was a nightmare. First I tried to vote on Sunday. The line was so long that people were standing in line for 3 hours. Supposedly because of Covid 19, they did not want to allow too many people into the voting room.

So I went to vote on Tuesday instead. I was there at around 7:30 am. I stood in line and finally got to the voting room at around 8:45 am. When I got to the voting room was even more crowded than it was in 2016. Covid be damned. There were over 40 people in that room. So much for social distancing.

They must do better in 2024. Surely this can be computerized. If student exams on scantron sheets can be marked by computers then why can't ballots? Also they should allow voting to go on for a month to allow everyone to vote. And no more postal ballots please. Just open up more voting locations.

Going well Mick

You clearly are failing to actually follow the election, based on projects the state should be a win to Biden, hence why they haven't called it, the whole "based on" thing. But no you are simply spouting Trump BS.

Nevada counted only 10% of the votes yesterday? They counted 65% on election night, 24 hrs later they've managed 76%

Police is actually a serious problem. They're targeting people of colour. Defunding it targets certain areas such as the police union which can be sponsored by outside interests.
