Dan upon learning of Bidens victory:

I’m hoping the Secret Service know that such a fence can be breached by someone armed only with a Twix

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

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.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
