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!

This is getting dangerous, tedious and boring. Trump has lost, every other sitting president in history would have conceded but not the snowflake fake macho alpha-male that holds the office now. America has just had it's highest daily Covid infection rate and still he encourages his mask less disciples to get out and spread the disease. The lame duck is still committing mass manslaughter, his lackeys are calling for opponents to be beheaded and armed insurrection and nobody except Pence has any power to do anything about it. FUBR at it's finest.

The German take on it. Complete with boarded up windows
The Occupier in Chief. And @GOP still does nothing!

Looking back, I think we will see how this delay helped to diffuse the anger - while allowing Trump to make a bigger arse if himself by the hour.
The delay has allowed time for an explanation of where the latter counted votes are coming from, and why Trump initially raced ahead.
It has allowed for a noticeably period of time to watch other senior Republicans distance themselves from him, and in are announced at least one case resign.
A day in which a record number of new infections are announced, Trumps chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive -- this is not an administration in control of the virus.
And, as for the two party leaders one looks like the next occupant of the White House while the other looks like the next admission to the mad house

You really think it will help diffuse it?
He and the GOP will play on this stealing election theme for years and use it to supress postal votes even more.
The next chapter for me is how quickly the state charges come against Trump from NYC
I can;t see good things conming from getting legal with Trump. At the very least, I hope they string it out and give him a chance to either emigrate or die (speaking frankly).
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

There are 75 more days before he leaves the White House. I'm sure that he's going to do whatever he can to mess it up for Biden. He's that kid in the playground who wasn't picked for the kickabout, so he's going to puncture the football so no-one can play.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

That would be the worst thing possible, as it would allow both him and his deluded followers to continue the 'stab in the back' claim. One that says they were not beaten through a lawful ballot, but by fraud,
Charges need to be laid, and taken through the courts where applicable.
There is too much for this to simply be whitewashed over.
And it won't be, either.

Even now he and his team are licking the oval office.

I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread, I haven't really gotten involved, but I've read every single post and it's been great. Cheers everyone!

My fear is that if Turmp is tried for something down the line, it'll give his weird backers a fight to coalesce around, when's there's already been enough fighting. I would hope Biden's bunch have an eye on bringing people together and doing what they can to end this culture war, not stoking it up further.

One thing I'm enjoying at the moment is the work-life balance that the Nevada counters have.
The whole world's going 'will you get a move on, we NEED to know' and they're like 'nah brah, on a fag break innit'.
Very unamerican really.
