Lamest angry mob ever.
313k in PA with 16% left to count
I might see if there’s still tickets on the midnight train.
Taking the Florida Georgia Line?
@10, well, starting out on the East Coast Line, then it's probably going to get real complicated real fast at the St Pancras ticket office.
If/when Biden wins how will he attempt to work with McConnell whose real driver is power - and denying everything the Dems want.
I can't see the senate being flipped so the next presidential term will clearly show that McConnell, as I posted last night, is the most dangerous person in the US.
Power for power's sake.
Overall this has been a really poor performance by the Dems; one example is their failure to recognise that Latinos are not one homogenous group - their country of origin informs their view of 'socialism' which trump and his surrogates shouted about at every opportunity. Biden and his team failed to effectively combat that narrative.
Will be good to see trump out of the WH but Biden will have a real mountain to climb.

I can stick you in our internal mail if you like. Should be there by midnight (next Tuesday).
looks like tinkerbell will hold georgia 70k with 6% left uncounted
Of all the states to be the deciding ones, it had to be Michigan:
And of all cities it has to be Detroit:
This is going to be one long news cycle.
I have to admit to not being wholly familiar with the US election system; I kind of get it, but perhaps not the intricacies.....but what on Earth is going on with postal votes?
As I understand it, the Republicans passed a law that mail-in ballots couldn't be counted early. But now, the Republicans are saying they can't keep counting mail-in votes because election day is over...
The whole thing sounds nuts. What sort of democracy is that?
this was a really bad month to rewatch Bablyon 5
@stumpy01 Voter suppression, because Rep voters are more likely to vote in person on the day than Dems.
when Biden wins how will he attempt to work with McConnell
He will tell him that anything he gets through the Senate will get vetoed do hard his turtle relatives will feel it and he doesn't have the numbers to overrule it.
They'll spend the next 4 years being unable to pass a spending bull so they LL have emergency extensions to keep govt running just like under Obama.
How criminal is Trump gonna get, I knew votes on the night would look good for old pumpkin head, its blatantly obvious Trumps scaremongering about the mailed in ballots has made his retarded supporters vote in person, I'll bet most mailed votes are gonna be for Biden and will hit 270.
As I understand it, the Republicans passed a law that mail-in ballots couldn’t be counted early
States set the election rules. Some count early, some count late, some allow Ballots postmarked on election day, some have to have them returned by election day. So the State sets the rulea to favour the federal party of the party in power in the state. See also gerrymandering, voter suppression etc.
It works exactly the way they want it to. Although the republicans have more of a history of shenanigans.
Apparently one of the issues with the mail in ballots is they know how many went out but not how many came back. Plus, at least in some states, you could request a mail in ballot but then change your mind and vote in person. Do they don't know how many people did that.
I love that Stop The Count video up there. One lady has face shield written on her face shield, classy and there are others who appear to not know why they are shouting stop the count. People are really ****ing stupid.
does bring to mind...
Pretty sure the midnight train goes anyyyyyywheeerrre
BBQ
Beer
Freedom
and a face mask worn on the chin. America, **** yeah!
That lame stop the vote vid is like something from phoenix nights US version.
how criminal is Trump
Let's face it. There is a lot more than the white house riding on their election for Trump. The odds of him losing this election are about the same as the odds of him, his family members and members of his staff ending up in criminal court if he loses. Once he's lost the protection of being president, he is fair game. I bet there are a few people in the FBI and Justice Dept who would love to settle some scores.

My comment was clearly part of a rhetorical question - as the rest of the post makes clear.
mcconnell is all about power - and denying everything to the Dems.
Well this is a very strange and rare feeling, and I thinks it beats any other election. I still can’t get worked up about Biden, but only one thing matters.

Which one is it? BBQ, beer or freedom?
According to NYT Biden has been picking up 78% of the mail in ballots
Dazh,
The TDF, the Giro, the Vuelta and now this! It's been a great year at the races.
Michigan officially declared now for Biden.
That only leaves the orange buffoon to fight over PA
Anybody been following Antony Scaramucci these last few months?
He's on Preston right now.
Meanwhile, in Oklahoma:

Wow. Just, wow.
If I had to list the states most likely to do that, Oklahoma would have been somewhere in the late 40s.
Nevada is key really. If that stays Biden then he wins - but really tight and lots of votes to count and apparently votes postmarked election day can arrive up to 10 Nov!

Honestly though, its a load of Byzantine nonsense
Biden has got 3 million votes more than Trump
3 ****ing million votes and still round we go with this arcane bullshit.
Even our own special version of electoral f whittery always picks the people who get the most votes as the winner
I have this vision in my head of trump being dragged out the white house screaming 'turn those (polling) machines back on' ala Mortimer Duke at the end of trading places..
His team don't really do losing with Grace do they..
I'm with the Robocop scenario. Straight out the Oval Office window. And a Blaupunkt for everyone.
John King is made of steel.
Count Dracula? Or "Stop the ****!"?
I'm going for Gross Point Blank. A shoot out in the WH, and Trump getting a TV over the head. Probably with Fox and Friends on.
His team don’t really do losing with Grace do they..
Remind me again, ‘his team’. Who are they again? Oh yeah the despots, nepotists and his very own spawn. Go on the lot of ya. **** off right over there.
This is wonderful
Someone should tell him that "BBQ" is part of the gay rights' movement.
