OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[bazza]

If Harris wins, the USA will implode, and we’ll see outright anarchy in the streets.

There was anarchy in the streets of Washington DC when Biden won so you could be right here

 

[the phantom menace]

It was the night before election and Gronk & Phantom where getting nervous.

It's not my country... so I don't have to worry at all if US goes majority dunce and re-elects Trump.

No nerves, and just ready to lol at America if their voters truly are that dumb.

Let’s face it, they are both dunces, unfortunately I have never seen a candidate like Harris who if everyone was honest is basically out of her depth and hopeless. She appears to be someone who will eventually make way for Michelle Obama, looks obvious I think.

Trump has some idea but seems impossible for him to stay on track. Whoever wins it will be a nightmare given the agendas being run by both camps.

That would be a great result! Covering the years 2024-2028 and 2028-2032 (at least) rather nicely

Trump is old and past it. Even Republican supporters are waling out of his rallies soon after he comes on to waffle... er. I mean speak.

You are playing sides as usual , Harris is incompetent , no other word for it. As bad as Trump can be, the USA was in better state in the 4 years he pranced around, unfortunately been downhill since.

Don’t really care as won’t be venturing back to the States again, this election sums up both sides in a way . As divisive as Obama was , it’s not getting better

Well, I support the Democrats' philosophy and policies, so why wouldn't I? I think four years of Harris followed by eight years of Michelle Obama would be wonderful, in terms of quality policy outcomes for average Americans.

True, I have no plans to go back to America. Some nice natural features, but as a nation in the global economy it seems that it's past its prime.

In case it helps anyone interpret results as they come in tomorrow... some good graphics and explanations in this one, centred around 7 swing states which are suggested as being vital to the overall final outcome.

Why Harris has more possible paths to the White House than Trump

There are 538 members of the Electoral College, meaning a candidate must get 270 electors to win the presidency. There are a number of paths to this outcome.

And a guide to what happens at what time during the day... seems like most of the (accurate) action and reportage - and perhaps a potential result - will fall between 3pm and 6pm Sydney time.

The key times you should check in on the US election count

US presidential elections are a peculiar beast. If you want to track who's winning the race for the White House in real time, you have to know when results from key states come in.

Putin would make a better US President than Michelle Obama….
She’s an absolute puppet like her husband before her.

anyone endorsed by Oprah needs to be shot out of a cannon into the sun because she’s an evil narcissistic cow

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I still think Pamela is gone, but I’m not going lose any sleep over it.

My first task for Trumpy is to try to bring peace to the world as far as is possible.

Then get some settlements sorted so we can restore some economic stability in the world. Bring Russia, China and North Korea in closer. These are nuclear powers.

Probably try to build the US middle class up again, but that could take decades.

I saw Pamela dragged Oprah out. Lol. I wonder how many votes that cost her.

Her campaign has been troubled.

Are you able to articulate for us what some of Michelle Obama's policies and outcomes might be in this imaginary election campaign and presidency from 2028 and 2032??

Obamacare 2.0 as version 1 worked so well

RWNJs have panicked and the DJT meme stock has halted trading on the dow.

This is not a prediction on the election BTW, this is just the ridiculousness of a worthless company being floated and sold like his bibles.

https://au.finance.yahoo.com/quote/DJT/

Tuttle, who currently owns put options on the stock, said the trajectory of shares hinges on "a buy the rumor, sell the fact" trading strategy.

"I would imagine that the day after him winning, you'd see this come down," he surmised. "If he loses, I think it goes to zero."

Interactive Brokers' chief strategist Steve Sosnick said DJT has taken on a meme-stock "life of its own."

didn’t he say he can do that in 5 minutes with just 1 phone call?

 

[Gronk]

didn’t he say he can do that in 5 minutes with just 1 phone call?

Remember he said the same thing about healthcare in 2015 ? 9 years on, he was asked about his health plan in the last debate, he said that he had a concept of a plan…

Does he ever stop lying?

 

[Gronk]

Do you believe in signs ? The Iowa poll indicated an unprecedented swing of the female vote. The mobilisation of women and in particular over 60’s towards Harris. If Trump loses this, it will be over the agency of women.

I think I have a secret admirer.

I don’t think it’s a secret.
