Doesnt really bother us in the UK what the finally tally is, though with Trump, and business deal will be US sided, rather than whats good for both.
I do hope Biden wins, though I he hasnt got dementia then I'm a world class downhiller.
My only and twisted reason is the sob otherwise known as Nigel Farage loses his £10K bet.
I will cheer loudly if it comes in Biden on top.
Team Trump to make a major announcement in LV at 1630 UK time (i think, if my time zones are right)
Don't get hopes up..... he's taking his lawyers and a Brooks Bros riot participant!!
With GW Bush it was ballot chads, now late postal votes. There's a pattern emerging here and it's gopping.

While I'm always happy to see Farage lose money, I suspect it'll be money conned from his supporters - the ones who paid to walk along the side of a dual carriageway in the rain while he was in a warm comfy press studio somewhere.
Or, even worse, it'll be money paid to him by the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation for one of his many appearances on Question Time.
My god, this is really close.
The logical side of me says Biden will win, but there's so many dirty tricks in play....
Roger Stone got sprung from prison just in time!
STOP THE COUNT!
I've been thinking something similar for the last four years.
he's only one extra letter from the truth

Again.
Bloomin panthers.
Channelling his inner Anneka Rice I see.
He's just enjoying Sesame Street this morning with his cereal.

Why don't they bring back Treasure Hunt? It was fantastic!
STOP THE COUNT!
What, right now, while it show Biden in the lead and with more EC votes?
Is he demanding his own defeat now?
I was thinking that!
STOP THE COUNT!
Well his spelling hasn't improved any.
Currently he is ahead only in Nevada.
He's ahead in declared votes in PA but if you look at the running tallies in counties that have not yet declared, Biden seems to be ahead. Mainly because Philly and surrounding area are very big and 80% Biden. But the same also applies to other cities.

He's just channelling Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter
Interesting although unsurprising that a recount will cost 3-4 million dollars. Go for it I say. Be sure to pay for it out of Barron's trust fund
What seems to be emerging is that trump's telegraphing of this stunt has just ensured that each swing state election council is watertight and super diligent with their procedures. Nice play Donald. So Machiavellian.
I wonder what the big announcement will be in Nevada. He's not going to concede just as it's getting exciting is he?

He's going to offer to settle the Presidency on the turn of a card ?
High stakes gambling is legal in Nevada.
Call up the #proudboys ?
Have you not been watching the last 4 years??? Not a hope of a concession.
I'd expect nothing less the the orange buffoon to declare himself the winner.

Don't worry. We'll be getting a certificate, along with half of Twitter, for participating in the world record attempt for "most people to simultaneously make the obvious joke"

I would be asking for the cash up front and not just take a cheque.
I wonder what the big announcement will be in Nevada.
With the individuals involved I doubt it will be anything good.
If we leave aside the real risk of violent escalation and threat to human life for a moment .. it s all rather amusing. And no one likes a poor loser (although if you occupy an alternative thread of reality like his supporters then I spose its an absolute disgrace) lol
Ive just added up all the votes left to call in GA, tallied them against the votes so far in those counties, and reckon the final number is less than 500 either way!!!
How long before ****ter blocks his account, he isn't going down without a fight nor will his supporters
Trump Team announcement at 3:15pm according to Sky News!
Fox Live Blog says:
Trump campaign to announce lawsuit in Nevada, alleging voter fraud
Ric Grenell, the former acting Director of National Intelligence, is slated to hold a Thursday morning press conference in Las Vegas to announce the Trump campaign is filing a lawsuit that seeks to count every "legal" vote.
The Trump campaign is alleging that at least 10,000 people voted in the state, despite no longer living there.
Normal windpuffery incoming about how UNFAIRLY TRUMP HAS BEEN TREATED, PERHAPS THE MOST UNFAIRLY OF ANY PRESIDENT. Trump's MO is to launch pointless lawsuits at the drop of a hat. And he can't exactly head straight to his stooges in the supreme court, he'll have to wend his way through the lesser courts first.
Is he demanding his own defeat now?
Stop trying to be logical. He as good as set out the plan before the first vote was counted... claim that all the "real" votes were counted early, and all the "fake" votes counted later. That's the narrative... he won't get counting stopped, he knows that, he just wants the public to see the "later" votes as dodgy... and then he can selectively try and get some of them thrown out in states where it can help him. Hence stopping postal votes being counted early, and trying to delay the arrival of postal votes by handicapping the postal service.
Fox saying the Nevada Press is to announce a law suit against 'Voter Fraud'. Others are saying the timing is set to coincide with Georgia's final count.
There's a sense, looking at some of the videos on their web page the GOP are hinting at a return to "Traditional, Republican Conservative Values"
I don't know, maybe it's optimism, but I get a feeling the GOP are ready to accept defeat, even if Trump isn't.
Biden only wins Wisconsin due to the star turn of libertarian Jo Jorgensen splitting the RW vote. Was she a plant or a hat stand?
Who will pay for all these lawsuits? The GOP?
How long before ****ter blocks his account
Unlikely to happen until he is no longer president since he uses it as the presidental account. Once that is lost given how many times he breaches standards hopefully he will vanish.
Was she a plant or a hat stand?
Libertarians contest pretty much every election and they are fruitcakes. Basically full blown deregulate everything.
Wonder if they did better than 2016 overall which was their best effort to date.
This Director of National Intelligence position is a bit of an oxymoron
Georgia saying they've got about 50k votes left the count, they're all postal votes and... at the moment at least they're averaging 9 votes fro Biden for every Vote for trump. If that trend continues it's 45k Votes for Biden, 5k for Trump.
Trump currently has a 18k vote lead.
They're counting about 3000 votes an hour at the moment, and with neither likely to get a meaningful lead (relative to the 5m votes cast) it's going to be about 16 hours.
I'm going to need a drink after this.
didnt 5thelephant say that republicans would just accept the result & carry on as normal?
The far right frequently claim to be the normal moderate ones.
PS even Democrats are right wing by UK standards
didnt 5thelephant say that republicans would just accept the result & carry on as normal?
If they start shooting I'll express surprise. Bigly.
I think there's been some confusion
Trump's "STOP THE COUNT!" tweet was actually aimed at this guy:
He finds him quite scary...
If they start shooting I’ll express surprise. Bigly.
It doesn't take 'they' - it only takes one person, the rest don't know where the firing came from and start firing back and you have a massacre potential.

They won't - but they have been putting various content warnings on loads of his recent posts.
Good quick summary:
