I heard that the election was unlikely to be decided before the weekend.

Here is our vampire cat when she was a kitten.

Thanks for continuing these threadd. Here's my not-cat-tax. I'm watching the election across the Atlantic though my fingers.

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

Awful. I dread to think what will happen if Trump doesn't win. Although that won't be as bad as if he does win.

Thanks for the thread Blossom 🌸 and all the fabulous pictures.

@Piggywaspushed - what a beautiful picture, which makes it all the more bittersweet. Thank you for sharing it Flowers

Here are our two hiding on the rocking chair in the bedroom. I'm going to go to an upholstery course next weekend to re-cover it with the fabric on the back of it.

Poor boy hates the fireworks too and usually shakes and pants and barks so I gave him two calming tablets and he’s been zonked out under the table in the corner all night. The other one is not bothered at all.

Is anyone staying up? I'm feeling a bit sick. I can't bear Trump to win.

No, it could take hours, if not days. I feel sick too, it’s as if the world’s holding its breath.

No chance. Our own results only start to be announced around midnight. I doubt we'll get any of the butt clenchers until breakfast time.

Zonder · 05/11/2024 23:18

It really is. I keep thinking that even if we won't know for sure for days surely we might get some kind of idea from the exits?

BIossomtoes · 05/11/2024 23:21

It’s so incredibly tight that there could be a lot of recounts - 0.7% in Pennsylvania apparently.

In 2000, it took 5 weeks

Not often a headline makes me snort.

Eek.

Willowkins · 05/11/2024 23:34

I'm an addict so I'm watching on CNN. There's a lot of chat but that's because results are coming in one county or district at a time and noone really knows what it all means.
I'm not sure how long I'll stay up though - it's my turn to put the rubbish out early tomorrow.

DuncinToffee · 05/11/2024 23:35

Apparently Johnson was plugging his book on C4 election night

PickAChew · 06/11/2024 00:10

I saw that in our local rag coverage. A comment about how apparently it's not been selling well 😅

prettybird · 06/11/2024 00:26

Ds was prepared for tonight's marathon session. Will be filling it in as the results come in (he's taken the whole week off work).

Cushion was a Christmas present from us so he could still cuddle our cats, as he and his girlfriend had moved out a few months beforehand and they missed them. Seemed appropriate on these threads Grin

Llttledrummergirl · 06/11/2024 00:26

I heard that bit. I thought I'd try the channel 4 election chat, and all I got was Johnson trying to distance himself from Trump, without distancing himself from Trump, and flogging his book.

I turned it off and went to bed.

I should be sleeping, but want to catch the early stuff.

PickAChew · 06/11/2024 00:42

The early stuff is horrible. Goodnight 😬

My tax is a picture of the beautiful spotty (& rather stumpy!) paws of our now departed & much missed Basset.

Bloody hell America.

So depressing.

Zonder · 06/11/2024 06:35

How? How has this happened? How can do many Americans vote for that man?

Notonthestairs · 06/11/2024 06:41

Seems hate is quite a motivator.

I feel desperately sorry for Ukraine.

BustingBaoBun · 06/11/2024 06:46

I cannot believe that the nightmares I've had overnight about trump winning, are actually true

Yes. America what have you done
