The GTP Unofficial 2020 US Elections Thread

I actually said he was going to use the Resolute desk to barricade himself in the oval office. Hang on...

[Edit] This was nine months ago yesterday:

Prediction: Trump won't leave quietly. It's just not in his nature. Come January 20th, be it next year or...*shudder*...2025, he'll be holed up in the Oval Office, White House security staff paralyzed in a fit of laughter over him having used that bigass desk to barricade one of the doors that opens out. Once he's vacated the building proper, the inflammatory rhetoric will still continue from whatever platform is made available to him.

JFK threatened to tear the CIA into a thousand pieces. Not long afterward, his skull was blown into chunks.

But can the SS legally shoot Trump if he threatens them when they try and remove him?

Doubt Fat Man Trump has the muscle to move a solid wood desk

 

[TB]

If he threatens the SS, are they allowed to use lethal force?

I am very much hoping it doesn't come to that for many reasons but mostly because I want home to face trial and go to jail.

 

[Rossell2]

Just found out my brother voted for Trump. Thanksgiving might be a bit awkward.

 

[MoLiEG]

Will we be able to stream this?

I'd actually pay to see that

 

[Keef]

I would hazard the guess that the military gets a big stiffy from Trump, as casualties are down and budgets are up.

Most of the military people I know - there are plenty of them in Dayton - are suggesting otherwise. I’d wager most military are not fans of Trump at all because he’s never been involved with the military, he’s disrespected and fired generals, he’s disrespected troops, etc.

 

[ryzno]

You're not under any obligation to find it funny, but maybe try not to bitch so much, 'kay?

M'kay.

I have nothing else to say in this thread, until it's official that Biden won GA and I buy someone Premium.

Good night.

Edited uncivilized post...

Had a friend (at one time, a good friend actually) from Texas reach out (not even via FB or something like that, actual text message) and say he was disappointed California didn't "burn to the ground". So that's where we are I guess.

@ryzno you up for giving tours of your home state as the official GTP face of Georgia™? I've only been through on the highway, but Savannah sure does look pretty in pictures.

 

[Rossell2]

Good lord Eunos. I went to california for the first time last year and loved the place. It hurts double now whenever I see the fires.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Arizona gap is down to 30,000. Maricopa dumped in some more ballots - 55% ratio in favor of Trump.

CNN estimates that county is 95% counted, and Arizona overall is 97% counted.

It also reflects such a sad confounding ignorance because the places that burn are always rural areas by nature....conservative areas. San Francisco and LA - you know, where the liberals are, are not going to burn due to wildfires...

Yeah, but nobody wants to live there ... because property prices are so high.

I think it largely depends on why the person when into the military. I know guys who are all about honour and duty to their country and they are adamantly against Trump, they're no pro-Biden, but they didn't vote for Trump. I also know guys who were just in the military to just kill people in the Middle East and those people are overwhelmingly Trumpets.

I have to wonder if people just don't understand that California is something like 15% of the entire US economy and produces a huge percentage of our fruits and vegetables.

Yes ... they don't.

Not a chance. People will put their head in the sand screaming about Nancy Pelosi when her district is like 40 square miles (it's not even the entire city of San Francisco...and San Francisco is TINY!) in a state that is 164,000 square miles. A typical Texan would feel right at home in most of Sonoma county, which is actually part of the bay area. As you can guess, my "friend" from Texas has never actually been here so....

I saw this somewhere else (Reddit maybe) but I thought it was funny:

"Donald Trump has spent the last seven months denying science. Now he's about to get his ass handed to him by science's older brother...Math."

What I recall is that Biden started with a big lead in Ohio (much to everyone's surprise) which then gradually disappeared. The reason: Ohio counted mail-in ballots first. Didn't hear Biden whining about it though.

I think that's largely in part to people over the age of two knowing how to count.

 

[GTFan24]

When is the next PA update expected?

 

[Darla Starch]

When is the next PA update expected?

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east...

 

[GTFan24]

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east...

So nothing until tomorrow then? Are the PA areas closed?

Trumpets

I appreciate alternative names for Trump supporters that aren't inherently pejorative, but I'm not okay with this one.

The trumpet is a beautiful musical instrument.



Please don't ruin that for me.

He very well may have but you didn't notice because it was in the form of a story that doesn't go anywhere.

"In nineteen dickety-three..."

I feel like there's a joke somewhere involving Blue Note Records and Blue Votes for Biden.

Ignore me, I'm running on my reserves currently.

This might be a glitch, otherwise @Joey D 's Utah got some 'splainin' to do.
Kanye - 515,330
Biden - 475,513

And from what I saw, I believe Weber County showed Kanye win over both Joe & Donald.

Gladly! Though I'll have to charge double my beer fee. Tis a VERY long ride to Savannah for me.

 

[Biggles]

To give a measure of the pure insanity of this: there's a picture on the BBC website showing a grizzled Trump supporter wearing a swath of Trump buttons, included among which is a BARRON 2062 button. Seriously WTF?

[eran0004]

GA, PA, NV and AZ all seem to be pretty solid for Biden now. Trump's biggest chance is in Arizona, but judging by the remaining counties it looks difficult for him. I heard there were 173,000 votes remaining and the gap is currently 29,861, so if that's correct then Trump needs to secure at least 58,6% of the remaining votes.

 

[omgitsbees]

Looking up Trumps performance as president; he kept 25 campaign promises, they were all minor things though. He either compromised, or just out right failed on 77 campaign promises. All of his major key platform promises were a failure to deliver. Overall I would say Donald Trumps presidency was a total bust and he failed massively to do anything for his voter base. Failing to see still why anyone wanted to vote for him again. His presidency, despite having the majority rule in the Senate, was a total failure.

He is “anti-establishment” and “tells it like it is” though. And there is so much “winning”.

It's so much winning, so many great things are happening, despite all the bad horrible people, they have done so much good for the people, so many jobs created, so much for the economy, everybody knows that, read the manuals *deranged rambling continues into the silence*
