Biden got 87% of the latest tranche of votes in Pennsylvania
Me too, the better I got to know them the more I realised that the “devout” tag was inappropriate and would have better been replaced with “genuine”. The devout ones were all like the many many more you’ve met because devotion is by nature exclusive and thus intolerant.
In much the same way that the epithet "keen" gets attached to cyclists.
Especially dead ones. He was a "keen cyclist" - sort of implies that he wasn't a driver (one of us), he was a bit weird for being KEEN on something so niche.
The papers use it too if they're trying to shit-stir against someone they don't really have a lot on. Keen trainspotter = we can't outright accuse him of being a murderer but we can make out he's a bit of a weirdo.
"Devout" is the same in religious circles.
It's only one step short of "fanatical" which definitely tips it into weirdo territory.
Apparently Biden now in the lead in PA by 5000 or so
I think that's that.
Bar the shouting, of which I'd imagine there will be quite a bit.
Do you think Trump and his team actually believe the lies they tell? Do they genuinely believe there's a conspiracy against them or are they sitting around going "what shit can we make up to stop this?"
Left-footer?
Nope.
I prefer to cut out the useless layers of middle management and deal directly with the Boss.
This is pretty likely going to be the final map. Trump cannot win without PA. Even with it, he would still need two of NV, AZ, and GA.
Do you think Trump and his team actually believe the lies they tell?
Some do, I think, it's easier for some folk to deal with a narrative that you have "control" over. Lots are in it for the Grift though.
No news from North Carolina for ages, when they were both at 94% votes counted it was just as likely to go to Biden as Georgia. Nothing has chnaged IN NC in nearly 24h, why not?
I think that’s that.

shoutingshooting, of which I’d imagine there will be quite a bit.
FTFY

They're sitting waiting on the postman?

I don't think Trump can actually tell the difference between fiction and reality. He's a marketing guy, he just says whatever suits him. He's not lying in the sense of deliberately saying things he knows are false, he just lives in a world where nothing is true or false, just convenient or inconvenient.
I suspect his acolytes range from cynical frauds to deluded fools. Part of the legal challenge thing is that everyone is terrified of Trump and the MAGA crowd so they're putting on a show of making legal challenges to keep him happy, but most of them know that it's hopeless. If they don't play along, they'll be FIRED!

So this is perhaps a bit premature. There are clearly more ballots still to count than the difference between the candidates. But with the late-counted mail-ins strongly favouring Biden, is this it?

They have done the counting to date and now are waiting for the, deliberately crippled, postal service to deliver any remaining ones.
Damn. Beaten by 30 seconds.
the only chant angry tinkerbell has now is "keep on counting!" 😀
They have done the counting to date and now are waiting for the, deliberately crippled,
postal serviceHermes driver to deliver any remaining ones.
FIFY
They have done the counting to date and now are waiting for the, deliberately crippled, postal service to deliver any remaining ones.
So how do they know 6% are outstanding? If there are that's enough for another Biden win givne the heavy democrat bias in postal votes: Biden called for people to postal vote as an anti-corona measure, Trump told people to vote in person.
Politics AND religion in one thread. BOOOOOM!!!!!
Good God above...(pun intended sorry) don't anyone mention football
Pennsylvania about to be called for Biden.
I'm guessing a lot of Trump media appearances are going to end this way from now on.

Does anyone else think Donald Jr https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54835454 looks a bit like this guy from The Hunger Games?

I believe in some states the postal votes are tracked through the postal system. I.e. they can see how many post-marked ballots remain in the system but haven't reached their destination yet. Or, potentially, have reached their destination but haven't been opened yet.
don’t anyone mention football
Jesus saves!......Vishnu scores on the rebound!
Now that that's over I can start worrying about what kind of lunatic the GOP are going to nominate in 2024.

He's never not had a way out before.
Dodge the draft by faking bone spurs. Tie up legal cases in so much red tape that there's no end in sight. Pay off a hooker. Even when he was impeached he had a way out by a Republican-controlled house refusing to go through with it.
Now he's got no way out, the whole thing is there in 24hr rolling news coverage for all to see.
His mental breakdown is going to be quite entertaining to watch as he attempts to come to terms with being the thing that he's always despised most, a "loser".

OMG that is so satisfying. Literally talking over the President, telling the audience why he's talking nonsense. The Emperor new clothes are being shown for what they are. Without the veneer of respectability he is revealed as the shyster we always knew he was.
I mean, they should perhaps have done this several years ago but I understand why they didn't.
The interesting thing will be how far the press go with this. Of course it's in America's interest for 'the office of the president' to remain respectable.
Can I uncross my toes yet?
So how do they know 6% are outstanding?
Not sure:
Either going to be as Superficial says and they know they are on their way or possibly, and i think more likely, just that they know they sent out x thousand postal ballots and so know how many are remaining.
Doesnt mean all will come back though and thats where the when to call becomes important. If you have 4k outstanding but there is a 5k lead then those 4k dont really matter. If its 2k then it does and you might just have to wait out the max time allowed. A judge did order the postal service to specifically go looking for ballots which might hopefully deal with this.

Which code? Association, Rugby, Gaelic ?
What's funny is that there's quite a few absentee military ballots coming in still, these usually lean v republican, but are skewing to Biden, trumps war with John McCains ghost & calling dead veterans losers & suckers didn't just cost him arizona!

I rarely agree with Edukator but that is one of the most sensible and mature comments on religion I've think I've read on here in 15+ years.
Right, let's get back to the election....

Now that's not fair..........he also said the Generals were rubbish and he dodged the draft multiple times

I forgot he was impeached!!! It's a measure of the man that such a momentous thing is a footnote on the rest of his shitbaggery
dammit link thing didnt work...there was a piece on CNN news where the GOP senator was rubbishing Trump's vote fraud claims
Imagine the scenes now in Letitia James' office...boys'n'girls, make sure those indictments are good to go - check, re-check and then check again.
Yeeha!

"Our voters will never forget you if your [sic] sheep!"
Just found this quote form Eric Trump. I assume it was supposed to read, 'Our voters will never forget you or your sheep!'
This could be the best Friday for a while.
I hope all the sharks,wolves and banks are circling.
Now that that’s over I can start worrying about what kind of lunatic the GOP are going to nominate in 2024.
Donald Trump jnr
