New thread.

I can't stand Trump. He's a horrible man. He's not diplomatic. He's pig ignorant and has grandiose sense of self. He did do anything useful doing his last term? He wrote covid off as a mild cold but it's anything but.

Plus the sort of people who follow him.

Last time I looked the swing state polls were pretty much neck and neck, I think it is going to be so, so close.

Elsewhere ...

That's brilliant 🤣

Little and Large (not their real names!) are definitely not ordinary.

On one of the election threads a poster has claimed that Trump is winning because "places are running out of ballots for his supporters now".

That is a very strange claim to make given there are of course not separate ballots for each candidate.

My sibling and DW live in Pennsylvania. Squeaky bum time in their state.

@PandoraSox and that sums it all up!

Would love to claim that my cat tax shows a superior cat but here she is drinking DHs shower water. 🤑

AI at it's finest, showing it understands nothing.

When I've finished with an AI snake oil salesperson, all the things it can do seem a lot less impressive.

Like your tiles @Zonder. Just what I have in mind when we redo our shower room.

It turns out that poster was talking about "sample ballots" which are apparently leaflets suggesting how people should vote that are handed out near the polling stations.

@Piggywaspushed do they have any feeling for how things might go?

They are very very anxious, I think.

I have a friend in Virginia who is feeling very anxious about the result. They're just as worried about Vance as Trump.

Signing in with The Ladyship, who is of course a completely elite cat.

I'm not going to stress about the election because I think it's going to be a long drawn out process - I very much doubt we will have an outcome tomorrow.

Your kitty is gorgeous. The black cat is gorgeous and the grey cat in the background.

I think I’m more worried. I fear he’s the plan and Trump (awful as he is) will be sidelined in favour of Vance, who is even more awful because he has ideological reasons for being awful, not just self interest.

You have a very tiny cat there, too 😻😂

And bonus crochet tax?

Hope everyone's furry families are OK this bonfire night.

Thank you for the new thread Blossom.

My dog is currently torn between hiding behind the sofa, digging through the floor/walls, coming for cuddles and hiding under the cushions. She's shaking and panting.

I fucking hate fireworks and have very intense dislike for the fuckwits that light them.

From the previous thread- Badenoch will simply say that it was the fault of the other conservative party, that she was not in charge of and had nothing to do with.

Crochet tax attached.

Just caught up with the previous thread, Francois as shadow defence minister wtf 😂

Thanks Blossom and love all the pics on here
Sorry no cat here but this is a pic of my butternut squash miso curry I cooked at the weekend, hope it will fit the tax requirement!!

The MAGA movement has to live on post Trump ...

Love this. I collect rabbits but now feel my collections a bit lacking!

I'm not superior enough to have a cat!

Also very worried about the outcome in USA. I think it could have far reaching consequences.

Security fencing around the White House, Capitol, and the VP’s residence. This is legacy of Jan 6

Handy for the US election

Here’s when polls close and we can expect to see initial returns coming in from each state.
