US Election & Presidency

But it's the 20th anniversary of the hanging-chads fiasco and I'd never underestimate the possibility of going to sleep with the world making sense and waking up to discover that Floridians have turned it upside down. So I'm giving Florida to Trump as a present to Slabhead. Happy Halloween

Shove your hypothetical Florida up your arse

Though I will say this, it's deeply annoying that The Donald backed out of the next debate. Yes it was going to be rigid as fuck but it was a good chance to finally bury the walking corpse that is Biden and leave no doubt as to who is the right man to be govern the country.

Demand in the drug has now surged..

I bet the shareholders will be delighted, whoever they are.

The company boss is a golfing buddy of Trump.

If Trump doesn't win, will you accept the result?

I'm surprised he hasn't been bigging up Polonium. I hear he's a close pal of that vendor too. Maybe, I dunno, a lot of people are saying it...

I'm not a US citizen so it doesn't matter what I think about the result, but I do love a good reason to throw up a celebration of Western values and Trump winning will be a good excuse to gloat in the faces of all the leftists and his enemies in general.

Though I am deeply suspicious of mail in voting over there. The Republicans and Trump are right to be concerned.

Good plan. Get your excuses in early

They only seemed to be worried when it comes to Mail in when its democratic states and not republican ones hmmm i wonder

I know a couple of expat Americans that are voting online.

I would think that online voting is much more 'hackable' than mail-in voting, but no one seems to be too concerned about that.

Republican angst about mail-in voter fraud is less about actual security concerns than it is about good old fashioned voter suppression.

All of you people thinking his bravado will 'lose' voters are naive to say the least. Go back to the Access Hollywood tape where EVERYONE predicted his campaign was dead and buried.

I just love how so many on you have so little understanding of American culture and the libertarian streak that runs straight through it. This is a country that doesn't have a cult of healthcare and social welfare like we do, whether you like it or not. This is a country that has a high tolerance of firearms and all the issues that comes with it, whether you like it or not. Americans love to live on the edge and so covid is going to be a non issue when it comes tk the electorate.

Odd, I haven't been in a coma for the last 4 years. In that time, he's managed to:

1. Alienate the US's closest allies
2. Mess up any long-standing environmental law
3. Largely Profit hugely from being president by forcing usage of his properties while claiming not to take a salary. Yet constantly golfing at his golf courses.
4. Tweeting as policy. Seriously, why?
5. Constant replacement of cabinet members. Do you even remember how his administration looked at the start of his presidency?

I mean, I can remember a time when Obama wearing a tan suit was scandalous. It'd be nice to have a government that didn't make the news by failing at something every week.
