US Election Week 2020

[Malthus]

I know there'll be a lot of shit to wade through before Trump is out of the White House, but boy it feels good to feel relieved about a global event this year, for a change.

It's like the relief after taking a big, stinking orange shit after a long bout of constipation ... it feels amazing, but there are still stomach problems you must deal with, and the huge turd may be difficult to flush. It may back up the toilet and overflow, flooding the place with raw sewage. 😉

Yeah just step one. But after four years of no steps, it feels good.

It's the best news since the Ibiza tapes blew up the FPÖ over here.

[Sheilbh]

ABC calls it too.

And Fox - which is what I'll be watching

Chris Wallace on Trump's legal challenges "other failing candidates have in the past" made those types of challenges

Trump will never concede, but Trump adjusting to being a loser is going to be quite the spectacle.

I came to Four Seasons Total Landscaping to see if the president's lawyers would offer any evidence of the fraud they have been alleging. They haven't. So I'm leaving.

Dear Donald,

You're fired.

Respectfully,
America

From a German page:

"Good news: Joe Biden wins the presidential election.

Better news: Donald Trump loses the presidential election."

Man, I guess that's how the ending of Return of the Jedi feels.

And I'm not even a yank.

No we are the ewoks, but less consequential.

So you're saying zombie Trump comes back in 35 years to conquer the US?

Though I feel the First Order would be too moderate for Republicans. Too many women and POC.

WP:

Trump insisted Saturday that "this election is far from over" shortly after multiple outlets projected Biden to be the winner of the presidency.

"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: They don't want the truth to be exposed," Trump said in a statement issued by his campaign in which he repeated several unfounded claims about widespread fraud having occurred in states where Biden is leading, including Pennsylvania.

"The simple fact is this election is far from over," Trump said. "Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor."

Trump said that starting Monday, his campaign would "start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."

"I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands," Trump said.

"Somehow Trump returned."

Sounds plausible.

"The dead tweet!"

At the rate of counting today it does look like a chance of a winner no?

edit- oh, looks like its being called on the BBC. Starmer posts his congratulations.
