There needs to be some serious questions asked and answered soberly after all this. People are just looking for a fight, and if they’re not careful they are going to get one. Speaking as a European - take a damned good look at our post-WW2 situation and think.

@BlueCatRedCat
I loved that Kellyanne sketch!

But my all time favourite was Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.

Sean appears 1 minute in..

@Mrsmorton a pp put up this link which shows the counting figures really clearly. Bidens lead in Georgia currently about 7k with an unspecified amount of ballots to go.

1% margin would be about 24k votes so not that far off. Hope I got that right I’m still mainlining coffee...

Has anyone seen Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s ‘deep fake’ comedy project? m.youtube.com/watch?v=9WfZuNceFDM It’s very funny but also disturbing. Trump looks better in the curly white wig, although with his orange face he also looks like a Mr Whippy. The Zuckerberg Cheyenne Dialysis ads are hilarious.

Brilliant discussion about the future of. Biden administration going on on CNN right now.

lifesabitchandthenyoudie · 07/11/2020 10:30

Thank you guys Sad.

It's got to get better, hasn't it? It will be better.

Very nervous for the next few months.

drspouse · 07/11/2020 10:31

Why hasn't Alaska declared yet?

BlueCatRedCat · 07/11/2020 10:32

Rousette Melissa McCarthy is my fantasy best friend! She was just genius as Spicer, wasn't she, and never once "broke", I don't know how! The Spicer era just feels like a million years ago!

MrsWarleggan · 07/11/2020 10:33

On a lighter note, throughout all of this, all I've been thinking is when Kiefer Sutherland is going to run as an Independent candidate?!! 😂😂

If you haven't already please watch Designated Survivor. It West Wing v 24 and its immense!!

@DollyMixtureLulus

Can I delurk and ask a silly question?

Is a concession from a candidate legally binding or just good sportsmanship?

I think a concession can be taken back too. I think Al Gore conceded to Bush in 2000 then un-conceded when it became apparent the TV networks had called Florida too soon.

boatyardblues I've watched 2 minutes of that and I'm traumatised! Grin

DuncinToffee · 07/11/2020 10:41

Morning all.

All eyes on the count restarting in Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Arizona Maricopa County expected to drop 11am ET

Here’s where we stand: Biden can clinch the presidency by winning either Pennsylvania or both Arizona and Nevada. And he looks good in all three states:

Georgia and North Carolina are not going to be resolved any time soon

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 07/11/2020 10:42

@boatyardblues that video is bonkers. Julie Andrews blew my mind

Lweji · 07/11/2020 10:44

I just want Biden to win in as many states as possible to rub it in Trump's face.
But I'll settle with a 270 definitive count. Soon. Please.

Same here. It’s quite sobering how realistic the footage is and how people could be duped. I hear the technology is being used to make revenge porn and fake celebrity porn already (of course! 🙄).

Melissa McCarthy as Spicer are almost the “good old days”!

I don’t have proof this is real... but begging emails getting a tad threatening?

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom

Here's a link to the full Biden speech, if anyone wants it. [[ [[https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/11/07/joe-biden-wilmington-remarks-2020-election-elexnight-sot-vpx.cnn]]]] Agree with those who watched him live, what a joy it is to hear a unifying, calming, Presidential voice speak after the past 4 years of turmoil. Smile I'm starting to feel more optimistic now. I really do hope his confidence in his EV win will be justified.
But it makes me almost jealous that the US has (fingers crossed) got rid of their idiot, and we're still stuck with ours.
TheClaws · 07/11/2020 10:58

Northwest - those Trump fundraising emails are quite off-putting. Very cultish, actually.

Cross-post, @TheNorthWestPawsage - it was tweeted by the US editor of the DT, Ben Riley-Smith. I believe he received it himself.
QuestionableDanceMoves · 07/11/2020 11:12

Alaska can’t be declared because of the number of outstanding ballots to be counted and they won’t be counting them until next week.
Over 40% voted early or absentee and the absentee ballots need checking against in person ballots to make sure no one had tried to vote twice- it’s a very, very slow process

boatyardblues · 07/11/2020 11:12

That email reads like a final warning before they send bailiffs round to seize property. Shock

lionheart · 07/11/2020 11:14

Georgia is going for the recount after all.

They have to wait until the thaw
