I've improved my Biden position to a profit of £2.57. Total stakes probably pushing a grand. What a waste of time.
Philadelphia has only reported 49%, they're going to swing Pennsylvania to Biden.
Because only a tiny percentage of the people who live in the 8 states that matter change vote based on the leader. Just today they voted in a Republican who died of COVID last month. Letter beside your name > name.
Biden is a joke candidate, he's just lucky to be up against an absolute car crash. Put him against Bush and he gets nowhere near the Whitehouse.
(That's not to say Bush wasn't a car crash, obviously)
Also we don't factor in that Trump is basically a psion for these people's hatred of other people and so they just assume he agrees with whatever opinion they have.
It's probably not going to end up being particularly close. Florida, a massive outlier, coming first really skewed perceptions.
Looks like that's Blockbusters then.
Bring on Trump getting frog marched from the whitehouse and the prosecutions gearing up again when he's finally out.
Where's that tweet when you need it.
All a bit tragic now.
The tears
That first one is basically a concession.
In fairness to him, the way they count and report the votes is an absolute shambles.
He also spent months telling his supporters that mail ballots were fraudulent, it can't be that shocking to discover not many are for him.
Didn't he spend ages telling people not to vote by post? But now he's surprised that the postal votes aren't going his way?
Edit: there's an echo in here apparently
They've probably had to explain to him many times why mail votes were bad for them and he's still too thick to get it.
I'm imagining "When I press your foot and say 'Hello, Mr Thompson'"-type scenes.
Christ I hope he manages to con them into 4 more years.
Still 1 million mail in votes in Pennsylvania and Biden has so far been taking 70% of the mail votes there.
Trump holds a 500k lead there but if Biden's numbers hold he's taking it.
He's not exactly going to go back to anonymous golf holidays and a book deal. The man will tour the heartlands holding these events and attempt to overthrow the government.
Yeah, I was wondering that. At first I thought he'd just be off back to Trump Tower/that Florida place he likes, but the more I think about it, the more I imagine he's now just going to start the Trump 2024 campaign asap.
He's gonna be in dire need of cash to fight all his legal battles and pay off debt, so he'll do events with entrance fees and start a super PAC or something to grift some more.
If there's the motivation there (I'm sure there is) and it's 'appropriate' to prosecute an ex-president (I'm less convinced), he'll probably be in prison by 2024.
Let's be realistic, he's not going to be in dire need of cash.
Dipping in and out of the CNN coverage all day I dearly hope Biden wins. They won't know what to do with themselves if they're confronted by another 4 years of Trump.
As for trials and shit, more likely the Republicans seize the house midterm and try to impeach Biden.
Lol, this election cycle is so silly. The results are really what you should have predicted all along since the primary. How it all happened feels totally bizarre.
Did people really think a party that isn’t even trying to win rural votes was winning Texas? Or flipping senate seats in R+15 states? We are just gonna keep repeating these cycles until one party legitimately tries to win the other sides voters. I’m skeptical of his tactics but Bernie did at least identify that.
Slovenian PM standing in solidarity with Melania and congratulating Trump on his victory is proper third world business
Biden is going to win Wisconsin because 1% of the state voted Libertarian instead of Trump
I never dared to dream, but Trump winning with 'Latino' votes would be unimaginably hilarious. Pepe would wake up white.
Whittling it down to 'descendants of slaves' or whatever it is to even edge African migrants out had me lolling when I first saw it. Donal Trom has your back lad, and so does the rest of the white community.
Those Nigerians getting in the way do need to be dealt with.
What’s the actual story for the layman now because Twitter is just everyone claiming their own favourite has already won.
They're still counting in the last few states.
Biden is in a good position but still a few days away from knowing.
Biden should have it.
Looks like Michigan and Wisconsin have gone blue and then he just needs 1 of Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania (assuming Arizona is blue like a lot of outlets have).
If the other lad isn’t on for stepping down will the military get to remove him?
He stops being the president by default in Jan 21 so he can kick and scream all he wants but then I guess the secret service would remove him.
He'll leave in an orderly fashion but send contradictory tweets.
Apparently the highest voter turn out in history, with Biden having the most votes ever and Trump having the most votes of any loser. He'll find a way to spin that and his conspiracy nonsense and leave with his 'head held high'.
New York Times is listing Wisconsin as DONE. So are AP:
