U.S. Presidential Election 2016 (Sponsored by Betty Croker's Hamburger Helper)

[Boydy]

You've both used "hence why" so you're both thick.

[Lewis]

Please remember that I was state educated.

[phonics]

I am a great advert for the foolhardiness of private education I’ll give you that.

[randomlegend]

I'm just here wondering if Lewis is actually a virgin

[Spikey M]

I reckon Asexual.

[Offshore Toon]

I heard he milked Amigo and Luca drank it.

[Lewis]

Amigo wouldn't have finished it if it had been the other way round.

[Disco]

I appreciate it wasn't exactly revelatory but seeing the US President confirm himself as a white supremacist on live tv is a little surreal.

[phonics]

I appreciate it wasn't exactly revelatory but seeing the US President confirm himself as a white supremacist on live tv is a little surreal.

If anything that’s the only traditionally presidential thing about him.

[Spikey M]

Who else has done that? (Genuine question)

[Ian]

I don't know that anybody recently has actively told the racists to make sure they've got their hoods and nooses ready in the way Trump did last night.

[phonics]

Who else has done that? (Genuine question)

I just meant 'being a white supremacist' not the specific confirmation.

[Shindig]

Who else has done that? (Genuine question)

Some of them must've been Klansmen.

[Lewis]

The Proud Boys must be pissing themselves at all the coverage they get (largely from the same people reporting on cities burning themselves down). Fred Perry discontinuing that shirt they like made me lol out loud. What if they just go through all of your range Fred? What then?

I love when the Republicans try force Dems to do something that hurts them because Dems are dumb enough to think it's a good idea.

[niko_cee]

Won't Trump not campaigning be detrimental to Biden, seeing as his entire strategy is to basically say and do as little as possible and leave Trump to make a tit of himself?

Anyway, what happens if/when Donny pops it? Obviously every news agency on the planet is busy cobbling together news pieces on the subject, but there's probably better insight to be had here. Where's mikem when you need him? Pence stepping into his shoes and becoming the (presumptive) republican nominee would probably be his best chance of actually winning and shines a light on how what looks like an end of days choice between the present two could actually be a whole lot worse.

[Lewis]

The main issue would be his dying wish trumping(!) Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dying wish, thereby giving them no option but to unanimously confirm his court pick.

[Lofty]

Trump will dominate the news cycle more the longer this goes on which is surely an advantage.

[Giggles]

He’d played a blinder with this move in fairness. Deserves to win it for having the stones.

Just heard on Newsnight that Biden has suspended all negative campaign ads.

[Lofty]

Eric Trump has tweeted about his dad being a Warrior and asking for prayers etc which is normal for someone with mild symptoms.

[niko_cee]

All campaign ads then?

[Spikey M]

Just heard on Newsnight that Biden has suspended all negative campaign ads.

Ballot goes ahead. If Donald wins and is dead they can nominate someone else apparently.

[Queenslander]

Piss weak Party.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've just found out that the founder of the Proud Boys is from my hometown.

He moved to Canada when he was little but yeah.

It was nice when the most famous person born here was a toss up between Ian Poulter and Dave Kitson.

[niko_cee]

Poulter is still more famous.

[Spikey M]

As is Dave Kitson.

And Mahow.

[Lofty]

That half arsed salute on his walk to the chopper, hopped up on goofballs for definite, why else wait 90 minutes to walk 50 yards?

My mate over there signed up to Trump's mailing list for a laugh and got this yesterday:

His arse is obese.

Trumpy got back.

He's broke his twitter silence capitalising words like "GREAT", "ALL", "AMAZING!!!" and "PLAGUE".

I love the Guardian's take on this.
His doctor says he's doing fine, so the Guardian make up a source saying "next 48hrs critical" which then allows them to run the headline "Confusions and concern reigns over President's health".

The lefty Twitter has been insufferable. Suddenly, a video edit is a sure sign that he's about the die and THEY are LYING to the country.

"The Guardian source that they made up" was Mark Meadows the Chief of Staff who said it to multiple journalists. Just because the administration is full of incompetent liars, doesn't make it a lefty conspiracy.

Read some more bro, it wasn't a 'made up source'

[John Arne]

I try not to read Guardian articles in full.

I issue a full and frank apology to Owen Jones.

[Yevrah]

It's COVID, he's 74 and medically obese, sources aren't needed to know he's potentially in a bit of trouble when it comes to about a week in.

[Lofty]

His need for approval and obsession with his strong man image (lol) is likely going to back fire spectacularly as he screams t the doctors to keep injecting these experimental drugs into him so he can wave at the voters.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If he does die, then basically live tweeting his own death in a series of bluster videos would be a fitting way to go.

[Shindig]

He has the same cult of personality as Michael Jackson, at this point. And they're both paedophiles.

Your point still stands. The amount of effort and angles the media have tried to spin on Trump having a serious bout of covid is bollocks.

He's fine and apparently was never in any real danger (compared to some that suffer with severe symptoms). But the media still try to make more of than it is. Twats.

It plays into his hands as well. FAKE NEWS, etc.

"Now, when we at WHGS first heard the sad news of President Trump's positive COVID test, once again we had faith and prayed, yet we knew our President would find a way to knockout COVID in early rounds of this battle. President Trump, as you know, is a fan of boxing, and the new coin design features more than a hint of superhero qualities in history's most fascinating president. President Trump, whether you are in his corner or not, is a sui generis—a one-of-a-kind, bigger than life, singular energetic force. President Trump's energy fills not merely a room, not merely a stadium, but fills—more like occupies—a mythological space in our modern, post-modern, or whatever we call this New Era in which we live, perhaps, let's call it the Post-COVID Era."

Regardless of my thoughts on The Donald in general, I actually largely agree with this.

So we just diagnose people based on a thirty second clip of them stood on a balcony waving now, do we? And then present that diagnosis as fact on national television? Great. This really doesn't "clearly" show anything. She sounds so pleased with herself when she says "he doesn't look well!" too. What a twat.

[Don]

The state of that dyke. Give her a She's All That makeover, replace that fucking frilly number with a low-cut top and she wouldn't need to beg for attention through left-wing politics.

Speaking of which. This Linda Bauld looks like a proper little minx in some of her appearances on TV recently. Proper botox-ridden purveyor of A2M services :drool:

So long as you’re woke in all the right places then you need no other standards.

It's what 24 hour news coverage does to you. There is not 24 hours of news.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Polls close on Tuesday night their time (maybe early hours Wednesday British Isles time).

[Giggles]

Polls close? How long do they get to vote? I was sure I seen Trump doing his in a library nearly a week ago.

[Pepe]

Yet it will probably take a while to get the results thanks to the lolfest that is the postal service.

[Pepe]

Polls close? How long do they get to vote? I was sure I seen Trump doing his in a library nearly a week ago.

It's a free for all, really. Election day is Tuesday, technically, but every single place has its own rules. Some allow mail-in ballots a few weeks before, others have early polling sites, etc., etc.

[Pepe]

How does voting work over there? Do you need a specific ID, or anything goes like here? In Mexico we had a specific ID from the federal electoral institute.

Can I get my usual 12-9 sleep on Tuesday night or do I need to set an alarm for some juicy 5/6am action?

The definition of 'scenes':

:harold:

[phonics]

This story of a Philly Police Union posting about about they found a 'small child walking barefoot through the street' during a protest. Weird but fine.

It being revealed that, in fact, the Police smashed someones car windows in and kidnapped the child from the car for said post. Weird and very not fine.



On Thursday, the nation’s largest police union posted a photo to social media taken during the unrest in Philadelphia this week, where hundreds of protesters clashed with officers over the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr. The Fraternal Order of Police’s posts showed a Philadelphia police officer holding a Black toddler clinging to her neck.




“This child was lost during the violent riots in Philadelphia, wandering around barefoot in an area that was experiencing complete lawlessness,” the union claimed in a tweet and Facebook post that have since been deleted. “The only thing this Philadelphia police officer cared about in that moment was protecting this child.”



But lawyers for the boy’s family say that story was a total fabrication.



In fact, they say police yanked the boy from the back seat of an SUV after busting all of the windows and violently arresting and injuring his mother, who was later released without charges.



“It’s propaganda,” attorney Riley H. Ross III told The Washington Post. “Using this kid in a way to say, ‘This kid was in danger and the police were only there to save him,’ when the police actually caused the danger. That little boy is terrified because of what the police did.”

What timezone is that Pepe? I'll set my alarm to whatever that 9pm translates to. And let me just say, there's not enough hot cum in me to withstand a Don victory speech.

It was the NYT, I believe, so Eastern time.

[Giggles]

How does voting work over there? Do you need a specific ID, or anything goes like here? In Mexico we had a specific ID from the federal electoral institute.

Here once you’re on the electoral register you get a polling card sent out and then you present that and a form of official ID (passport, etc) on voting day. I’d say England is similar.

[Don]

1am. Probs stay up till 3 and go from there.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I would stay up but the UK coverage tends to be absolutely nauseating, with Marcus on the BBC saying 'Gee-oh-pee' in his public school drawl fresh off a toilet cubicle flirt with the Camberwell marching powder, and Jeremy Vine or some other cunt shouting at me trying to explain what a swing state is for the 15th time that evening, all to the tune of patronising gospel music and soft focus stills of Obama.

Might go the other way and get up at 4am for the fun stuff.

[Disco]

You don't need ID here, in fact as long as you know your address it's fine. No queues either, walk straight in and it takes about a minute. Normally in walking distance of home too.

I have some time off next week so I might watch some of this if I can find a way to stream a decent channel.

[mugbull]

Is that really the best use of holiday time?

[Boydy]

I've got plenty to use up.

[Spikey M]

Staying up to watch the election results of a country you don't live in is a bit sad, booking half a week off work for it is mental.

[Don]

Who tf are you two to decide whats a good use of holiday or not?

Me on the other hand? Yeah, I probably would have said Wed alone is enough but if you had to take 3 days, it was either this or that belting triple header of nights at Thompsons and, well...#otc

[Disco]

Don't they keep counting into December? You could be waiting a while for an actual result.

[Don]

[Lofty]

I don't think I've even bothered staying up for a UK election once the exit poll is announced.

[Lewis]

I think the only one I intended to stay up for was 2015. 2010 I ended up doing because of the DRAMA; 2017 I wanted to make sure the exit poll was wrong (which we can look back on and be happy about); and I think I went to bed relatively early last time. I don't think I intended to stay up for either of the big ones in 2016 but the lols kept me going. I could have stayed up for a week for the 'Hillary' concession speech that never happened.

[Spikey M]

I stayed up for the Brexit Referendum result, but that was due to my wife being at her mums (it was the night before her sisters wedding) and me being home alone with my colicky 3 month old daughter.

[Lofty]

I was at Glastonbury for the Brexit referendum with money on Remain at Evens, that was some hangover.

Or a gun?

I got my green card a few months ago, so I can buy a gun now. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

who are you voting for bruh?

FREEDOM.

Obviously Trump.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Unless there has been a truly catastrophic polling error (as in, far greater than the 2016 one), Donaldinho has had it I think. And yet there Sleepy Joe is, available at 1.51 on Betfair.

[Pepe]

That sounds like good value.

[Kikó]

Tbh, the court cases and challenges could make this very messy for a very long time. Trolland won't give up easily.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I reckon they'll give in easier than people think. They (like the wacko left) are happier as a protest group with a grievance to whinge about / create conspiracy theories about than they are being in government. There will be loads of 'regime moderates' keen to stick the boot in for a 2024 run as well. If Donald loses then he is out the way, Biden has a hospital pass (and will probably soon be in a hospital), and the way could be clear for an ambitious someone else.

[Pepe]

What could Tronnie do anyway? Lock himself in the White House while the "Proud Boys" (the ten of them) defend him?

[Boydy]

Will there be any rioting?

[Yevrah]

1.51 does sound tempting, but to sit through the whole thing only to lose a significant amount of money and see Donald win again is a double whammy I'm not willing to risk.

[Shindig]

If Trump loses he'll just stand on a podium and do his standard "WE DID GREAT WORK AND YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AND FANTASTIC." speech. The only thing they'll change is the "We've got a lot of work to do / We did all we could." bit at the end.

[Bernanke]

What is the criteria for payout from that bet though? Whoever gets inaugurated in January?

[Jimmy Floyd]

All 1.51 is suggesting is there's a clear chance of scenes. The market never lies baby :drool:

All the people backing Trump are on the same betting sites as you. It's rampant across all the prediction sites. It's easy money.

I'm tempted then I remember the moment the exit poll was announced in 2017 and more hundreds than I'd care to admit were lost. That was easy money too. :D

2016 v 2020

Obviously it can still happen, 10% probability events happen all the time, but it's not the same scenario as 2016. Single biggest difference is that nobody thinks Biden is the devil incarnate like they did with Clinton.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Something will have to go horribly wrong in Pennsylvania for Trump to win, and I just can't see it.

Even when I give him Florida, Arizona and NC he hasn't got enough. Like fuck is he winning the northern three (soz I make up my own geographical regions as not even the Americans seem to agree on what the 'mid west' is).

[Lewis]

lol at all the 'Will he accept defeat?' punditry coming from exactly the same people who haven't accepted that he beat them.

[Kikó]

Shouldn't we have an election night new thread on this?

[Spoonsky]

I think we should exorcise the ghosts in this one.

I'm quite hyped for tomorrow, but I don't have the snacks yet.

Those COVID stockpiling wankers had better be holding fire for now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm trying to make myself tired tonight, so I go to bed early tomorrow and then wake up at 3am to catch a few hours before work.

A flawless plan on every level.

[phonics]

I don't mean to shit on peoples chips here but with the huge amount of early voting, the exit polls will be complete nonsense right?

[Don]

I've dragged my bedtime later tonight in hope of doing likewise tomorrow. If 2am ain't enough tomorrow we're gonna have trouble in Don Towers.

Also, I just caught Episode 3 (not watched 1 or 2) of The Trump Show on iplayer and it's fantastic foreplay for tomorrow, highly recommend.

[Yevrah]

Just doing a bit more reading and is it fair to say that the actual favourite in this election is 'legal wrangle'?

[Queenslander]

Legal rangle in a GOP stacked Supreme court because RBG didnt retire under Obama. :drool:

[Yevrah]

20 minutes into Episode 1 of this and it's dynamite tv. Cheers for the heads up.

[Danny]

I got my green card a few months ago, so I can buy a gun now. :cool:

Got mine about 4 years back. Still not gun. Sounds like I am failing at this integration thing :lol:

I should probably get a move on figuring out citizenship tbh

[Yevrah]

Andrew Neil is doing the Beeb's all night coverage. Hold me.

[phonics]

So as we’ve arrived. What was the funniest moment/highlights of the campaign?

It’s been a bit of a barren year outside of him shouting about Toilets imo. Nothing on the scale of ‘being accused of secretly dying and then passing out on 9/11’

[Spoonsky]

Just doing a bit more reading and is it fair to say that the actual favourite in this election is 'legal wrangle'?

A legal wrangle will happen if it's quite close, especially if it all is coming down to Pennsylvania. That's still less likely, by the odds, than Biden winning with some DAYLIGHT between him and Trump. And at that point, I think that Trump probably wouldn't pull any dictator moves. He'll talk about how the election was STOLEN and try to lay the groundwork for a 2024, but he won't actually refuse to leave.

If it's close though, yeah, rip.

[phonics]

My head leans two ways on this:

They’ve telegraphed their move so hard that stuff like Harris County’s 120k votes can’t be chucked out because people are watching. Or.

Corruption is so obvious these days and there is little to no repercussions for it so just do it and be legends.

[Queenslander]

Biden wins because Trump has pissed off too many neo-cons.

[Queenslander]

18 Trump rallies

30 000 covid cases

700 deaths

Trump's last campaign rally

Might just be me but he sounds a little elegiac. Reminds me of my grandpa when he went senile, yet was still conscious enough to know he was on the way out.

[Queenslander]

"Joe Biden is promising to delay the vaccine and turn America into a prison state"

Hopefully someone will do a documentary comparing Hitlers propaganda with Trumps. Rambling nonsense over and over and over.

[Spoonsky]

Lil Pump :face:

I like how Trump called him 'Lil Pimp'

[Queenslander]

That was a good bit. :D

[hfswjyr]

If Biden gets in, do the Democrats go after Trump with investigations for the acts he committed while in office? Or do they just forgive and move on? Does Trump go back to his dodgy business deals? Or another Apprentice spinoff?

[Spikey M]

How old is Biden exactly? He looks like he could start rigor mortis at any moment.

[Bernanke]

Little Pimp :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

How old is Biden exactly? He looks like he could start rigor mortis at any moment.

77, though I saw him billed as 79 the other day and believed it. If he does two terms and doesn't die then fair play.

[Queenslander]

Fuck off Labor save it untill after the election.

Joe Kamala and the Democrats should be the name of a band with an obscure one-hit wonder from the 70s.

[Queenslander]

:D

[Shindig]

With their Vietnam protest song.

[Jimmy Floyd]

On the subject of not dying, it was brought to my attention the other day that Bob Dole is still alive. So is his campaign website from 1996: http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm

[Shindig]

The games aren't up. :( I was looking forward to that crossword.

[niko_cee]

77, though I saw him billed as 79 the other day and believed it. If he does two terms and doesn't die then fair play.

I was going to guess 78.

He probably won't die (or do two terms) but he'll be senile as fuck if he does. Seems well on the way there already.

How's the free money scene at the moment? I'm slightly sceptical that some 80m odd of the 100m votes already cast aren't Tronald votes from [the other] Pepe. I think him stealing the election with mass fraud and then being found out would be the perfect way for this whole thing to end.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's gone way out to 1.62 now. I'm not really sure why (well, loads of money clearly going on Trump, but not sure WHY), will have to look into it.

[Spikey M]

Bernie is 79 apparently. He seems much better value for it than Biden. And Trump, come to think of it. The worlds favourite nuclear superpower is exclusively ran by geriatrics, apparently.

[Queenslander]

Bernie is sharp.

Easily the best choice out of the 3.

[Kikó]

Kamala - Trump JR for 2024.

[Spikey M]

Bernie is sharp.

Easily the best choice out of the 3.

100%, but aside from Hillary has there been a single serious candidate at the last 2 elections that you couldn't see dying at their desk?

[Queenslander]

I dont think so.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Donald Trump Jr? At least Donald Trump Sr has a bit of charisma.

[Kikó]

I'm joking . It'll be Ivanka.

[bruhnaldo]

No scenes at the polls but tbf I live in a fairly calm district these days

Might actually miss him if he goes.

[Spikey M]

:lol:

[Yevrah]

That was already brilliant before I noticed at about 1 minute in that it wasn't an internet prankster and he'd actually posted it himself.

As The Trump Show touched on, he's been absolutely brilliant at playing social media. Shame he's a complete lunatic really.

[Disco]

Nothing will top the dog tweet, the one where he redacted it's name.

[Spikey M]

It is, if he wasn't a complete psychopath he'd be quite endearing.

[Spikey M]

I've either missed this or forgotten about it. What happened?

Incredible.

[Disco]

It was one of those police/military dog gets a bravery medal things and he posted about it but redacted the dogs name as if it was in the SAS or something. I'll look for it later when I'm not on my phone.

Fuck it. 4 more years.

[niko_cee]

What is the crack with Trump and The Village People? Are they the only artists left (assuming they are left) who will let him use their music? Seems so bizarrely incongruous.

[Yevrah]

Right, plan for tonight is to nap for 4 hours now and then hit the supermarche for snacks, before bedding down for an all-nighter.

If I somehow sleep through my alarm, enjoy the scenes.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That's what I'm doing too, except the snacks are already in. Herb-stuffed mushrooms for a Biden win, crappy biscuits dunked in a giant jar of Nutella if Trump dons it.

[Disco]

Where is everyone watching it?

[Boydy]

In my living room.

[Mellberg]

Hold on, it's tonight? I had the all nighter planned in for tomorrow? This has just turned into a slog, but I'm riding it out.

[Spikey M]

Fucking hell lads. :face:

[Giggles]

Fucking hell lads. :face:

Yup.

[Kikó]

I'm going to ride this until 1 then calling it a night.. probably.

[Spikey M]

Is anything likely to be known until about 6am anyway? The West Coast polls can't close until around midnight, surely?

[Pepe]

Nothing will be known until Sunday or something.

[Pepe]

Or maybe it will. I don't know/care.

[Bernanke]

Some important states will start giving hints around 1-2 UK time, and then for about 3 hours from then is sort of the "main event" in terms of KEY RACE ALERT™.

[Shindig]

I will exercise my right to sleep.

[Kikó]

My mate has bet £42k on Biden to win predicting a landslide (412-113). The man has balls of steel.

[Lofty]

Even more bonus upside if Trump wins and the world burns then.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Bankers really are the worst.

I had another chunk of 1.62 earlier on Biden and from here we live or die. If we do strike the iceberg, the band will play on.

[Kikó]

He's not a banker, most of it is credit card debt :-/

Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia VOTES come in at midnight.

[Queenslander]

Credit card debt. :(

Is your friend ok?

[Giggles]

He will be if Biden wins. For a while anyway.
