Hi Chloechloe, I think not hun! Biden has got more of the vote than any president ever before and will oust that orange narcistic loser, who has damaged the USA with doing everything primarily from his ego and not for the good of the country! Trump has been banging on about postal fraud without any evidence even whilst ahead, trying to stop the counting process in the states he is loosing whilst wanting all votes counted where he is winning. He is a barbaric joke who has paid less tax in the last ten years than a worker on minimum wage in 1 year! Yes there will be challenges but its high time democracy is properly restored and unity is nurtured! Lets bring back some sense and decency!

chloechloe · 06/11/2020 06:22

I hope you’re right sally.

I don’t understand this point though that Biden has more votes than any President before. Trump also has more votes than any President before - he’s ahead of Obama’s votes on re-election.

the80sweregreat · 06/11/2020 06:30

Just got up and looked at the headlines.
No winner yet , but Trump made a deranged speech or something?
Will Biden win?

Re Trump’s speech: he won the election with the legal votes but Biden is stealing it with the illegal votes (aka the ones still being counted).

Most of the networks cut away from the speech as it was plainly incorrect. It’s being touted that it contained the most lies he’s ever told in one speech!

RedToothBrush · 06/11/2020 06:39

Opens one eye

Nevada check
Arizona check
Georgia ooohhh less than 2000 to go with clayton county's 5000 votes yet to be counted. I'll take that.
Pennsylviania slowly does it
North Carolina (whenever you are ready guys)

Nearly...

Goes back to sleep.

ListenLinda · 06/11/2020 06:45

Woke up expecting some of the numbers to of changed a bit...
Time for coffee, will be keeping one eye on the news today.
Its surreal to think over the last 36 hours I havent checked much of the UK news at all.

Iwillneverbesatisfied · 06/11/2020 06:46

I'm getting fed up with this.

It also seems that Biden's lead is narrowing in most states, so there is still a chance Trump could win? Shock

MerchantOfVenom · 06/11/2020 06:49

Checking in.

I don’t understand this point though that Biden has more votes than any President before. Trump also has more votes than any President before - he’s ahead of Obama’s votes on re-election.

But Biden has more votes than Trump, by about 3 and a half million.

Mrsmorton · 06/11/2020 06:51

Anyone know when Nevada is planning their next update?

Yes, but what it means is that both candidates have been able to galvanize huge numbers of people to vote for them. I think it says more about the rate of people participating in the democratic process than it does about the desirability to have Biden for President.
JamieLeeCurtains · 06/11/2020 07:05

Morning. Georgia neck and neck, with the final 1% of votes being counted from heavily democratic area(s) I think?of

Yikes.

I avoided Trump's unhinged speech last night. Just seeing the headlines now. All saying he lied and lied.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 06/11/2020 07:06

Good morning all, thank you for the new thread, @freddosfrogs. I was reading the last one in the middle of the night and came up with a new thread title of my own but it was too soon to start it, so I'll just throw it in here: Trump election thread #whatever "I'll thcream and thcream 'till I'm thick" if you won't count me in, cries the so-called leader of the free world.
Anyway, I understood from the last thread that I missed the greatest speech ever made by the greatest narcissist on the world stage. I also understood that by the end of the speech, he was actually inciting violence against black people in Detroit and exhibiting a shocking level of racism which actually reduced two of CNN's presenters to tears (of horror and shock at what he has done to the country, I presume), though in written reports of his speech, I didn't see mention of this - I'm assuming that the networks who cut away from his lunacy have finally decided to stop reporting on his crap? (I refuse to actually try to watch (hear) him speak and look the video up.) If by some horrendous mischance he is re-elected, I really want all media just to remove the oxygen of publicity from him and let other people get on with the job - a president should not be sowing dissension and inciting one half of the population to take up arms against the other, even if half of them elected him, surely? It should not be allowed. That is why, though I understand people's misgivings about a Biden Presidency, I still feel it can only be better for a country which is currently being encouraged to self-harm by its President. If only his lies had not been reported on as truth since the day he was inaugurated, I'm sure things would not have got as bad as they have. I think respect for the office of the President should not be confused with respect for the person of the President, and it was evident from very early on that Trump 's character is not one most people can respect.
Oh well, another day, another nail bitten off. Here's hoping Biden comes through and Trump is not allowed to destroy his country further. The powerful Republicans have shown their true colours in this. They have been enablers all along. Or maybe they agree with their president fomenting unrest and encouraging his followers to take up arms against their fellow-countrymen? Who knows.

CherryValanc · 06/11/2020 07:09

Just up, probably not enough sleep but hey ho..

StraightTalkingSally · 06/11/2020 07:10

Yes ladies but it is a better turn out than ever before because the American people on the whole know almost anything is better than having someone who is disrespectful to women, goes around acting like a gangster on the world stage and causes division more than harmony! xxx

LadyWithLapdog · 06/11/2020 07:10

Trump foaming about postal votes when he himself voted by post. He’s such a bad joke.

cbt944 · 06/11/2020 07:12

"An obese turtle on its back, flailing".... woah!

I wasn't expecting Donald's defeat to be pretty, but this sulking and stamping of feet and sulky, whining, resentful, bald-faced lying and general toddler tantruming is pretty hard to watch.

TokyoSushi · 06/11/2020 07:14

Morning folks! Signing in for another day!

LadyTotty · 06/11/2020 07:15

I’ve been lurking since election night, this thread has kept me sane! I have to ask though, with leads narrowing, how likely is Trump to win now? The thought is utterly horrifying.

lionheart · 06/11/2020 07:16

Four years before they call a lie a lie.

StarcourtMall · 06/11/2020 07:16

Morning all. Still lurking and reading. I can’t believe I’ve been following these threads for four years! Let’s hope this one has a happy ending!

lionheart · 06/11/2020 07:16

Good morning. Smile

anon444877 · 06/11/2020 07:17

The bbc headline summed it up when I woke up 'trump claiming fraud, without evidence'.

Let's hope the orange nightmare meets his demise today...

NorbertMeubles · 06/11/2020 07:17

They're going to have to drag him out of the White House like parents drag a toddler out of a kids birthday party who didnt win Pass the Parcel.
