I'm on a late today, I hope it's looking good when I check in during my break (break? what's that!)

I was that person, thank you for the explanation, @CaraDuneRedux.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom, a lot of the 'PC' and 'woke' are really vicious too, I've noticed these past few years 🙁

BruceAndNosh · 05/11/2020 11:29

I'm sure there are some Republicans that prefer vote by mail. There is a regular poster on these threads who has a Democrat leaning friend in US whose husband takes her mail in ballot and fills it in for HIS choice of candidate

sidling in in my dressing gown with a cup of tea and a biscuit, trying to think about the things I need to be doing

@freddosfrogs - thank you, loving the title.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom Yes! I'm the same. But I'm not sure I could cope with my taxes at the mo.

Checking in!

Delphinium20 · 05/11/2020 11:31

Thanks for the new thread!
@lionheart We are now in the quiet woods, so hopefully things will be ok the next few days. Everyone's so edgy, I'm glad I'm out of the city for now.

Tense!

So looks like Biden will lose Georgia by a fraction. There will probably be a case to call a recount there.

Breaking: Arizona election center is forced to CLOSE after armed Trump thugs screaming 'count the vote!

Not for the first time in recent months, I can’t help but wonder how this would be being handled if those were black armed thugs...

So I wonder, people are just getting generally nastier? No more Ms/Mr Nice Person? Everyone out for their own agenda with no thought for anyone but themselves? I don't want to believe it! I will do my ostrich impersonation!

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 05/11/2020 11:38

Well, that's that. 4 more years.

TiddleTaddleTat · 05/11/2020 11:39

Pmk!!

Roussette · 05/11/2020 11:40

Well, that's that. 4 more years.

Why? What's happened?

RedToothBrush · 05/11/2020 11:41

Dh has just seen an update from Georgia in the last few minutes apparently.

According to the numbers hes seen.

Its on!

BruceAndNosh · 05/11/2020 11:42

I imagine Trump's doctors have been on an equally sharp knife edge over the last 24 hours trying to balance his medication.
I suspect a large dose of tranquilliser was given last night to stop him tweeting.

The markets seem happy with the result. A split government means no extreme tax hikes or cuts

Roussette · 05/11/2020 11:42

Trump's lead in Georgia is down to 18,500 votes.

It carries 16 EC votes.

There's roughly 220,000 votes left to be counted.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom: I think a minority of people are attracted to extremes and can have their intolerance amplified out of any proportion by the way much of social media operates. Reasonable people look at this and either retreat or keep their heads down to avoid being attacked by online mobs. This then bleeds out into the real world to some degree but most people aren't interested and are also motivated to keep quiet.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom

Well, that's that. 4 more years.
What? Where?
Destinysdaughter · 05/11/2020 11:45

Wow this is so close to the wire, it actually could go either way? The tension is unbearable!

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 05/11/2020 11:45

I thought Trump has taken Georgia now? I am utterly demoralised and think he will win again.

BruceAndNosh · 05/11/2020 11:46

God, I need a wee
