Bartimaeus Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, LadyCrimson said: What are you rambling about? I said Biden also had little charisma (he also sounds like a doddering old man sometimes, albeit a sober one). Trump is, at least in my eyes, an (extra) narcissistic buffoon who makes a rather mockery of the "top office" of this country with his posturing antics. If he was a Democratic or Independent or Friendly Neighborhood Spaceman candidate, I wouldn't vote for him either. I don't pick a candidate or vote simply because someone is a specific "party." Trump is repeatedly not someone I can even pretend to respect and that's all there is to it. Pffft. Refer to my signature...and then stick "forums.obsidian.net##.ipsType_light.ipsComment_ignored.ipsComment" in your uBlock filters, . (e): Biden ahead in Wisconsin right now, expectation seems to be that he'll win there, though it'll be close. Still awaiting a number of urban batches of votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. If Biden does indeed win Wisconsin, then he only needs one of those three to clinch 270. (e): "This is vaguely reminiscent of 11 p.m. in 2016 ... but in reverse (and in slow motion): Biden’s the narrow favorite in PA, WI, MI, AZ, NV, GA, and it could take a while." (e): Also, one interesting thing about coverage of this - Fox, in my opinion, had the best coverage of any of the major networks (just in terms of quality of production), and oddly has been aggressively fair towards Biden, and has pre-emptively called multiple races for him (such as Arizona) that no-one else has while giving positive projections of remaining votes for him when he's been seemingly down big in states like Wisconsin. Not sure why, but they've refused to feed into Trump's narrative of cheating mail-in ballots or whatever such he's been squawking about.

Chilloutman Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Bartimaeus Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Well, I'm heading to bed. It looks fairly likely (but not certain) that Biden has won, and I can fall asleep soundly on that. God have mercy on our souls. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Darkpriest Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't say a coup, but if it will come down to one state deciding, and to be more precise, PA, then there will be no end to accusations and contesting the result until it will hit SCOTUS. Legitimacy will be questioned on either side, depending who will get the court ruling on their side. Edited November 4, 2020 by Darkpriest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a saying for that - "Wie der Schelm ist, so denkt er" sometimes said as "Wie der Schelm ist, so denkt er vom Anderen", meaning a crook expects everyone else to be crooked (and act accordingly). He's just projecting. Plus Poland has a vested interest in Trump bein reelected so they can continue to fellate him and expect good returns on that, uhm, investment. That'll be a tad harder to accomplish with a presumably less confrontational Biden administration. 2 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine would get Biden to 270, even without Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Arizona has been called for Biden by a couple of outlets, and I believe Nevada should be a lock, even if things look tight right now. Basically Biden needs 2 of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. They are still in play, despite the high percentage of votes already tallied.

If Biden ends up winning I promise he won't launch any terrorist attacks in Poland! In all seriousness the GOP picked up 4 seats in the House and held the Senate. Trump, even if he does not win, completely out-performed pollsters predictions and exposed media bias again. The rumors of Republican death were greately overstated. Even if Biden wins, we'll be fine. The government will be mostly reutralized for two years. So we're pretty safe from both incompetence and malign intent. And if Biden did win there is a pretty good chance GOP control over Congress will increase in 2022. No matter what happens from here I'm content.

Guard Dog Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Well, I'm not completely content. Jorgensen ended up with 1.5M votes. Less than half of Johnson's total in 2016.

's not about selling but about stationing more soldiers in Poland. Do you really think a Biden administration would continue Trump's confrontational course with the other allies of the United States to a point where they'll be using economic pressure through troop rotations whenver the big manbaby doesn't get his way?

Simple question of numbers. Enough dollars get exchanged and they will work very hard to look the other way. But hopefully we will find out as Trump looks finished, he is not getting back in Wisconsin and remaining votes are clearly against him in Michigan. So now for the drama.

Darkpriest Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Really depends on Michigan, if it's Biden's then its game over. If Trump's, then prepare for a really ugly ending because of PA. I think Georgia is Trumps and Wisconsin is Bidens. Nevada is Bidems as well. AZ is a bit of a surprise to me.

Short of some miracle turnover in Wisconsin, this would mean its over. This is still potentially 270-268 which is a very close contest, and clearly heavily underestimated Trump, despite all the negative bias by social media giants and a lot of media channels.
