Trump supporters protesting in Detroit. Could be when things start to get ugly.

I was going to have an early night as only had a couple of hours sleep since yesterday morning. But I don't think I can now... Great speech. Sounded like a leader.

Only surprise is that this hasn't happened at others - if they get in they'll destroy the ballots. 

Its definitely starting...

That was my opinion earlier, a little fire would do it and won't put it past anyone tbh

Biden isn’t a massive personality, not extreme in anyway. Possibly a little dull. 
 

However he is safe and dependable and not polarising at all. Exactly what the country needs. 
 

And he’s not Trump.

That Biden speech ranks up there with all time Presidential speeches like the one from Independence Day.

Not seen Independence Day so don't know whether you're joking.

It was some old school posturing and could have been written by Obama. But it also came across as the equivalent of his 'Shut up man' retort in the first debate.

But let's not get carried away here because record numbers of people have gone out and voted for *Trump*. So even though Biden will/has won, nothing is as it seems anymore and a speech that sounds great to his base will infuriate Trump's even though he thinks he's doing/saying the right things.

I like that he is low key. The last thing America needs right now is another shouty president. Biden seems like he has a clue on how to lead responsibly. And for the public, not himself.

You've not seen the original Independence Day film!? I was joking but that film and speech is amazing.

True leaders don’t need to have a massive personality. Theyre supposed to be almost invisible and be there when you need em. Even W with all his antics and buffonary had a damn heart when shit hit the fan. You could count on one hand how many presidents were seen as not dull at all. Most people just wanted 45 to shut the fuck up, but he can’t do that so its a total shitshow. We got spoiled with Obama having his finger on the pulse plus being a great speaker.
 

anyway, MICHIGAN!!! Woooo

I may be somewhat obsessed about US politics, but Hollywood can go take a jump!

Election comissions will have heightened security for sure. The danger in Michigan is that its an open carry state. So youll see those bearded douchebags with their rifles walking around. Even last night when the head of elections for Milwaukee was gathering the tabulations she had 3 armed guards around her and then was taken by police escort to deliver the numbers.  
 

as much as we might see echoes of 2000 here, the koch brothers are not going to be able to stop this. No hand counting in this case and search for hanging chads.

I’ve just done some rough sums on PA based on number of votes to come and it does look like Biden can do it. It’ll be tight, but he could pick up best part of 100K votes in Philadelphia County alone.

Gentle reminder, I was born in Michigan.

I thank you very much.

You’ve got a catch phrase nailed down at least.

It helps that your only weakness is an excess of modesty.
