Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

Lol. Could you imagine the collective explosion of heads in that scenario?

That's why I found it so entertaining.

Really ? CNN reporters talk to their audience like they are all simpletons. BBC is vastly superior and much more respected worldwide.

I think CNN coverage has been excellent to be honest.

Biden looking good for GA. 60ish % of the remaining and he takes it according to CNN. What a turnaround.

I know some folk in Atlanta, good people. I'll be made up if Georgia goes blue, they'll be on the ale all weekend.

Saw an interesting discussion on this...

Apparently (and I have to admit I've not looked into it to check) the wording for the Vice Presidential eligibility is that you must be eligible to serve as President (NB not be elected President), and the wording of what you've mentioned above is that you can only be ELECTED President twice...

The question being raised in the discussion was that - by the wording of the law - could Biden have been elected President with Obama as his VP (since he meets the eligibility requirements to serve as President)... then step down, allowing Obama to serve another 4 years, since he would only have been ELECTED President twice.

It's clearly against the spirit of the law, but (according to those I saw discussing it) not against the letter of it.

As he’s term limited, I don’t think he’d meet the eligibility requirements to serve.

Read the whole thing:

"For four years Donald Trump has proven himself a corrupt, mendacious ignoramus utterly unfit for the position he holds. He's led the nation through a pandemic that has left nearly a quarter million dead, is currently surging unchecked across the country, and has devastated the economy. And yet, the current tally shows him beating his showing from 2016 by 3.7 million votes. Trump may well come up short where it counts, but he still gained ground with the electorate relative to four years ago.

So please, Democrats, look in the mirror and show a little humility. You're not nearly as self-evidently wonderful or widely loved as you'd like to believe. You are not destined to prevail anywhere. You share a country with a large group of people who hate your guts, and who aren't going to submit to your rule or go along with your giddy plans to remake the nation in your image. It's time to start acting like you understand this implacable fact and all it implies about the limits of your power and the parameters of the possible.

American politics is a war of attrition right now. The sooner Democrats learn to live with that fact, the better."

That image has just made me so angry.

Horrible little gobshite. I hope this loss crumbles this disgusting family.

As I say, not looked into it in detail. One of the guys talking about it was a lawyer and seemed pretty sure on the letter of the law, if you interpreted it literally.

And we know how Republicans LOVE originalism. Something tells me they might change their tune lol

This is not an achievement of any kind

no, definitely not but death keeps drawing comparisons. CNN is left leaning but Fox is like a Leni Riefenstahl movie.

He's not really a fan of nuance, as we know

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

So theyve been caught using the dead as votes , whats the world coming to .

Who has? Show us the evidence Barry lad or GTFO

My understanding is in the US with the far right they’ve appropriated the “OK” hand sign to mean “White Power” but I was hoping someone more clues in could confirm is that’s what she’s actually doing

I despair of such things. Thanks for explaining though.

Do you always stalk women by proxy like this?

Me and @Sassy Colombian are very close I’ll have you know. Staunch we are.

Revolutionaries both, something you wouldn’t know about.

 

[Ruairi77]

Eh?

Either it's official or it isn't surely

How can they make things this complicated?

It's really not that complicated.
I mean it's the same level of confusion an American sees when he sees screaming lord sutch standing beside elmo waiting for tallyman counts for some random MP who might get to sit on the opposition benches and not pick the prime minister.

It looks like a game my kids play where if they can slyly make you look at the circle they get to punch you.

I guess it's the same game but it ends in more of a sly beating/ lynching if you're not one of them.
