Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!

Good on the judge indeed. I particularly enjoyed this exchange.
I know, the whole thing was brilliant:
"Diamond: "I’m asking you as a member of the bar of this court: are people representing the Donald J Trump for president, representing the plaintiffs, in that room?"
Trump campaign lawyer: "Yes."
Diamond: "I'm sorry, then what's your problem?"
I actually felt a bit sorry for the guy as it read as though he really didn't want to be there and didn't believe in a word he was saying himself.

"There's one other dimension to this problem".
Diamond, *loudly exhales: "Length and width? Time and space?"
Perhaps the GOAT of answers.

Rick Santorum is one of the craziest Republicans out there. This is what he thinks of Trump's tactics.
CNN really needs to stop giving these liars and frauds a platform.

Congratulations on being the progenitor of a 50-pager, Spruce! ðŸ‘
Has such a monster thread ever been achieved before, or is this a TWTD record? Anyway, monster thread very apt for the sitting (but not for much longer) POTUS. Perhaps Gav can give it an orange bookmark tag so that we can find it easily when needed for future reference :)

Are we actually seeing the light?
If we are, it's going to be interesting to examine how Trump lost once the tear gas has settled.
Did enough from Arizona turn their backs because of his treatment of McCain? How many COVID dead and effected families would have voted for him in GA and PA?

How big was Oh Jeremy?
I just thought it might help to try and keep all the election news concentrated in one place (as much as possible) so that it didn't take over the forum.

Biggest I can recall is either Keno’s Ipswich !! thread or CIL’s let’s all laugh at Norwich ones- pretty sure the former went into 3 figures
Think Spruce has been assisted here by the election dragging on so dramatically although obviously the thread was still massive before polling day
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010

To be fair, this thread would have been bigger if posters had not started other threads eg Trumps recent meltdown lying speech and some twitter jokes (they were funny tho'). I concede that it's just a version of the General/Footy thread argument which has been a TWTD tradition for many years.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

They've redacted his tweet, but this was Don's latest:
"I easily WIN the Presidency of the United States with LEGAL VOTES CAST. The OBSERVERS were not allowed, in any way, shape, or form, to do their job and therefore, votes accepted during this period must be determined to be ILLEGAL VOTES. U.S. Supreme Court should decide!"

Of course but the same applies to any thread really re multiple threads
It certainly wasn’t a criticism, this one was 30+ before Tuesday anyway if memory serves, just that it would probably have died by now had the winner been announced by Weds morning. I suspect it’ll be going for another few days too (*clicks add reply to add another post to thread*)
