Roussette
@Delphinium20 I think, if I remember correctly, I started it... because I couldn't spell her name from memory, could've been McEnema!
McNinny was kinder hehe

Yours was McEnema, and mine at about the same time was a genuine mental collapse moment. It's back on thread #100, I just searched it.

What I wrote was "I thought they said "McNinny" when I half-heard it on the radio!"

That's fair Zixxy but one thing to note from Trump times is to say "fuck precedent" and do your worst. You can then do all kinds of mischief while your opponents are frozen in horror at you wrecking the system by which things work.

But in this case I think points can be won by the presentation of: grown-up Biden vs toddler Trump.

MerchantOfVenom · 06/11/2020 22:58

Checking in.

Biden and Harris to make an address soon.

Delphinium20 · 06/11/2020 22:58

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime well then I raise my glass to you!!
Thanks
@Roussette thanks for keeping the McNinny alive

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 06/11/2020 23:01

Yay! I am going to bed and taking the bottle with me in case I happen to hear good news on the World Service.

Flowers for Roussette, and thanks.

I've just noticed that Fox call the elections "Democracy 2020". Ironically, and involuntarily, they're right.

Oh the subject of possible criminal proceedings against Trump Associates, theres an interesting name that crops up. One that has just decided to relaunch his own career in politics to perhaps raise his public profile and put him in a 'untouchable position' too. A certain Nigel, who if you will recall was interviewed by the FBI at one point.

Now he will have shit on certain other individuals too.

I wonder too if Putin's possible resignation could be to do with knowing there will be an incoming review on off shore money laundering. And cashing in the assets and getting out of the business at the right time might be the order of the day...

There is a lot of unresolved issues with who did what and when.

Getting more optimistic every time more votes come in!
Even daring to hope that 2 run-offs in Georgia could swing the Senate.

Delphinium20 · 06/11/2020 23:07

Can't believe how fast these threads are moving, but PP and CaraDuneRedux I believe mentioned Biden may not go after Trump as a way to de escalate tensions in the US. I agree with that, but I do expect charges from the state of New York to do him in. In a follow-the-money kind of smack down. NY knows better than any state how to go after mob bosses.

TokyoSushi · 06/11/2020 23:08

'A possibility that Joe Biden might speak this evening, but that possibility seems to be slipping away' says Cordelia Lynch on Sky News. I might go and get a good night's sleep ready for what surely must be nearing the end tomorrow, perhaps just half an hour more!

DuncinToffee · 06/11/2020 23:08

@CaveMum

Georgia now showing Votes Remaining as “unknown”, I’m taking a guess that they may have just received a big pile of military mail in ballots that need to be sorted then processed.
There is talk about that

But according to Nate Cohn @nate_cohn
No, there are 8k potential military/overseas ballots: people who requested one, but hadn't returned by today. Most military/overseas ballots have already been counted, and we have no reason all of the outstanding ones to show up post-election

Not sure what is going on

HairyToity · 06/11/2020 23:08

I'm getting fed up, I'm wasting my life away refreshing the news on my phone, waiting for more results to come in...... It's a slow old job.

'Stephen Miller is one of the most talented, intelligent & kindest people to work in President @realDonaldTrump’s administration!

The attacks on him are outrageous, unfounded & engendered by leftist partisan hacks who know how invaluable he is to the administration!'

I agree @HairyToity but being in the UK, there is not much else to do in lockdown anyway so I am justifying slobbing on the sofa watching this absolute car crash

On various news sides, this is from Sky

Trump says 'legal proceedings' are under way

President Donald Trump has tweeted, this time to announce that there are "legal proceedings" under way as rival Joe Biden edges ever closer to winning the election.

"Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President," he says.

"I could make that claim also.

"Legal proceedings are just now beginning!"

Mr Trump has already tried several times to claim victory in the election, and made unfounded claims of voter fraud in key battleground states where his lead over Mr Biden has evaporated.

He has launched legal proceedings in Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan - you can read more about his efforts here.

Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President. I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!

Checking in. It's only 6.20pm here. We're about to eat dirty food, drink dirty alcohol, and assume Biden is going to win.

Ahhhh.

Going back to the discussion earlier about pardons

Can he give general pardons or do they have to be specific?

I bet there are some very wealthy men who are nervous about what Ghislane Maxwell could say who could potentially be tempted to "donate" to his legal funds in exchange for pardoning of past crimes

NonCisWoman · 06/11/2020 23:30

I'm not much into conspiracies, but I can't help but feel that there's something fishy going on. These 6 states that will decide the election have been on the last 20% or so for days. Whichever announces next will likely be announcing the presidency, yet nobody has?

Shamelessly marking place again
Don't get this at all. Sorry.

Why the need for so many posters to indicate that they are placemarking. Who the F cares. We will never know will we?

Anyway just having a rant.

So back to the US Presidential Election. So tedious now from a country that is so called MODERN and Forward Thinking, and so Up to date with technology. LOL. It is a joke now.
