US Elections 2020 IV: The Two Gentlemen of Corona

[Ferris]

It was the dreamlike, indeterminate quality that got me. Like a visual representation of quantum hair, when the universe isn't sure if he's supposed to have hair or what it's supposed to look like.

Twinned with his craggy coupon moving away directly underneath, it was all very unsettling.

Maybe Trump will just graciously concede and congratulate Biden on a well-fought campaign.

It's highly unlikely that trump will do the White house tour tradition with Biden, I don't know, call it a hunch, but if that is the case will Obama step up or...will they just side step it completely?

[colacentral]

There was an air of Bart Simpson's final "I didn't do it" performance about that press conference.

[non capisco]

State of his boat, it's like he's been bobbing for apples in liquid effluence. He makes mid-80s Gary Davies look like Tilda Swinton. Would you go out in public if your ears were a different colour to the rest of your face?

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

oh go easy on him he did the lobes at least.

In other "traditions he's not bothered with", he's the first president not to have thrown out the ceremonial first pitch at the World Series. Presumably because he has what we call in the biz a 20-grade arm and wouldn't be able to physically throw a strike.

He did make an appearance at the 2019 series and they tried to hide the boos by announcing "THE TROOPS... _{and the president} AND MORE TROOPS" but the crowd managed to boo and get a round of "lock him up!" in the tiny window allowed. It's worth looking up.

[Mobius]

Getting there.

[idunnosomename]

maybe he's just biding his time.

[zomgmouse]

maybe he's just biden!!!!!!!!!!!!! his time.

[popcorn]

It's Friday tomorrow... will we know who won biden? (by den)

The Philadelphia Impediment

[idunnosomename]

i dont believe it!

[zomgmouse]

Florida just voted to raise the minimum wage to $15 and went for Trump.  Complicated animals, humans.

likewise california voted for biden but still voted to keep rideshare employees as contractors not as employees. which makes more sense

Voters were overtly lied to though in a quarter billion dollar ad blitz. Depressing for different reasons.

I never liked it in the Batman comics where Two-Face was drawn with a perfect line between the two sides of his face.  Took away from the willing suspension of disbelief

[Mister Six]

Outstanding thread title. Laughed so loud it startled my wife.

[Ferris]

I saw this earlier - I think the idea is to "claim" states using his Big Boy words like "hereby" and "henceforth" (albeit still on twitter), and hope Biden's camp is daft enough to do the same. Then he can present it as "oh well he's claiming it and I'm claiming it so we are both litigants, better take it to the supreme court (*aside* that I just rigged!) to have them decide which of us is right".

He mentioned it in his (very low energy) video there which gave the game away. Dems aren't biting though so he just looks mad and desperate.

I reckon both Captain Z's "Count Rushmore" and Blue Jam's "The Furious Orange" are funnier and more apposite but too late now.

[Cerys]

Anyone else tempted to put a tenner on him pulling a Budd Dwyer?

Biden now behind by 2.5k in GA, with 16k left to count.  Back of a fag packet maths tells me that means he needs two-thirds of the remaining votes in a solidly dem area to win the state.

Looks like GA is going to be the one which does for Trump.

[Chedney Honks]

They should cull this goof like so much mink.

[trabuch]

This electoral system is bonkers. Our's in the UK is worse.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

New batch of votes expected before midnight which might seal it for Biden.

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

fuckkkin hell watching these last georgia votes coming in

[Chedney Honks]

Start spreading the news.

Apparently Trump needs 59% of the remaining vote in Arizona to win. So 60% is the special number.

[TheBrownBottle]

With the number of votes left in Maricopa County, it looks like AZ & GA might be mirror opposites - Trump looks like he might win there.

Won't matted of course - GA alone would mean Trump can't win whatever happens elsewhere.  And NV & PA now look nailed-on

Blimey!  He looks like Tollund Man.

Well they have the 'football' (big briefcase full of computers) for launching the nukes so once he's separated from that his nuclear code card is useless.

I saw a documentary once that says The President* carries the password to the football on a piece of laminated card in his pocket, and the documentary gave the password which was something like 0000 or 1234.


*As in any President, not just whoever was current when the documentary aired, which was pre-Trump anyway.
