Chris Cuomo looks knackered

He bleeds it, that guy. Respect.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Trump is going to look a right mug after his ridiculous speech earlier.

He never thinks of the future.

 

[The Sultan]

Whats stopping an armed militia storming the post office or polling stations and taking all the mail in votes.

 

[Suspense]

Good question. That poster is from Politico.

Yep. Politico have just updated their results. Gap now closed to 65,342

Because they are well regulated.

Trump is going to look a right mug after his ridiculous speech earlier.

Even Fox news were saying he's a loonie

 

[Seeds]

Much like everyone in here thinking he has an impact on ours...

Please you do not understand how the world works if you actually believe that. In the long run this has far more influence on australians lives then any australian election. As an example the whole neoliberal revolution that took place in australia for the past 30 years only happened because of reagan and thatcher. and thats only the start of it.

How does Biden manage a GOP led senate? A few bones thrown at Republicans in order for things to pass?

 

[ep2018]

There would be a fair few GOP higher ups being pleased with this result. Trump is done but they hold the senate still. Dont be surprised if the party cuts him off if Trump still playing up having votes thrown out.

 

[pjcrows]

With the way it looks, we won't know until at least the weekend for sure.

 

[The Sultan]

Even Fox news were saying he's a loonie

just flicked over to fox, theres a bit more panic in their voices now

 

[Ghost Patrol]

How does Biden manage a GOP led senate? A few bones thrown at Republicans in order for things to pass?

He can just start signing executive orders.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Well gets the rust belt games over

Yes but it's very tight there.

 

[The Sultan]

Because they are well regulated.

the militia or the post offices ?

Biden as President with a Republican Senate? That's his wet dream.

 

[Chief]

No, there isn't. Postal/absentee voting exists in almost every democracy. It exits in the USA. Democrats use this method more than Republicans. Trump knows that, hence his churlish claims that it's a 'scam'.

Suss is Trump's baseless attempts to paint legitimate votes as fraudulent, his attempt to undermine in the US postal service, and stacking the supreme court with republican judges should he need to challenge the outcome.

I just don’t get the strategy of telling your voters the EASY and CONVENIENT way to vote is bad, and they should go and line up for hours.

You’d have so much drop off as the aspiration to vote in person gave way to the reality of getting off your arse.

He doesn’t.

Look at Obama’s second term. The morally vacant GOP will block literally everything.

 

[Moonwatcher]

the militia or the post offices ?

The militia in accordance with the constitution.

Especially when so many of them are embarrassed to admit they vote for him.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Trump is going to look a right mug after his ridiculous speech earlier.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

 

[11kgm]

Yes but it's very tight there.

Think he gets 2 of 3 that's enough to win

 

[The Passenger]

Trump will be bashing on the door of the Supreme Court.

Reports coming in he is sleeping on the front doorstep of the SC like a vagrant. Waiting for ABC to start her shift tomorrow.

 

[NSWCROW]

Trump will come over the top, announce that he bought Greenland after all and accepts it’s one electoral college vote for victory

*en VInce Russo himself couldn't script it any better

If Trump encouraged mail-ins it would ruin his entire "rigged" strategy.

He was told not to do this by his advisers, by the way.

One of my favourite things about the SRP board is knowing the mere mention of anyone in an academic field having an informed opinion is going to be followed by your good self spitting out your Ceylon silver tips and mashing the keyboard in a jesus-based rage at their apparent incompetence in regards to anything and everything. To hell with years and decades of studying and working within in a field when you can read a wiki page in 30 minutes.

That Neil Ferguson's modelling is utterly incompetent is beyond dispute.

Oh and all those "experts" predicting a Biden landslide, yeah that worked out well.
